As discussed earlier, for K 1 only one spectral harmonic is emitted, at X=Xw/2K2(Fig.8) its wavelength is independent of Bq and the power emitted is proportional to the wavelength spread is small if the radiation is observed through a pinhole on the axis of the undulator (Fig.Sa). Fig.Sc illustrates that the spectrum includes many harmonics when K>1 under certain conditions, their envelope ressemblesa normal synchrotron radiation spectrum (fig.8d). 

Figure 2 Molybdenum K-edge X-ray absorption spectrum, ln(i /i ) versus X-ray energy (eV), for molybdenum metal foil (25- jjn thick), obtained by transmission at 77 K with synchrotron radiation. The energy-dependent constructive and destructive interference of outgoing and backscattered photoelectrons at molybdenum produces the EXAFS peaks and valleys, respectively. The preedge and edge structures marked here are known together as X-ray absorption near edge structure, XANES and EXAFS are provided in a new compilation of literature entitled X-rsy Absorption Fine Structure (S.S. Hasain, ed.) Ellis Norwood, New York, 1991.

Single-line sources are now available which cut down the number of resonance lines in a spectrum and thereby reduce the resolution problems considerably. Since many laboratories have access to electron and ion accelerators to produce the parent nuclides Co and Cu, the major experimental obstacles to Ni spectroscopy have been overcome and a good deal of successful work has been performed in recent years. Moreover, the development of synchrotron radiation instead of conventional Mossbauer sources is of additional advantage for future Mossbauer applications (see below). 

In the case of the LiMg momentum density and occupation number density reconstruction of Stutz et al, who collected 6 x 105 6 counts for Li and 6 x 107 counts for LiMg, this would mean that 6 x 10s—6 x 10 counts per spectrum were required, which hardly can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time even at modem synchrotron radiation sources. 

To test the feasibility of obtaining submicron size patterns in the resist films, an exposure source was used which consisted of the X-ray continuous spectrum produced by synchrotron radiation from the 5 0 MeV storage ring of the University of Orsay (ACO) since synchrotron radiation had been shown previously (2.,8.) to be a suitable source for providing very high resolution due to the small divergence of the beam. The maximum output flux of ACO... 

Alternative sources of primary X-rays now include synchrotron radiation (Pollard et al., 2007 290). The synchrotron is a large electron accelerator which produces electromagnetic radiation across the entire spectrum, with high spectral purity and very high beam intensity. At specific stations around the storage ring, particular sections of the electromagnetic spectrum are selected... 

For many of the analytical techniques discussed below, it is necessary to have a source of X-rays. There are three ways in which X-rays can be produced in an X-ray tube, by using a radioactive source, or by the use of synchrotron radiation (see Section 12.6). Radioactive sources consist of a radioactive element or compound which spontaneously produces X-rays of fixed energy, depending on the decay process characteristic of the radioactive material (see Section 10.3). Nuclear processes such as electron capture can result in X-ray (or y ray) emission. Thus many radioactive isotopes produce electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray region of the spectrum, for example 3He, 241Am, and 57Co. These sources tend to produce pure X-ray spectra (without the continuous radiation), but are of low intensity. They can be used as a source in portable X-ray devices, but can be hazardous to handle because they cannot be switched off. In contrast, synchrotron radiation provides an... 

In this chapter, the application of synchrotron radiation for X-ray topography is reviewed. The intensity and continuous spectrum of synchrotron radiation is particularly important but we see that the time stmcture and polarisation can also be exploited...
