During the last two decades, remarkable and often spectacular
progress has been made in the methodological and instrumental
aspects of x-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. This
progress includes considerable technological improvements in the
design and production of detectors especially with the development
and expansion of large-scale synchrotron reactors All this has
resulted in improved analytical performance and new applications,
as well as in the perspective of a dramatic enhancement in the
potential of x-ray based analysis techniques for the near
future. This comprehensive two-volume treatise features articles
that explain the phenomena and describe examples of X-ray
absorption and emission applications in several fields, including
chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, amorphous and liquid systems,
synchrotron radiation, and surface phenomena. Contributors explain
the underlying theory, how to set up X-ray absorption
experiments, and how to analyze the details of the resulting
spectra.

X-Ray Absorption and X-ray Emission Spectroscopy: Theory and
Applications:

* Combines the theory, instrumentation and applications of x-ray
absorption and emission spectroscopies which offer unique
diagnostics to study almost any object in the Universe.

* Is the go-to reference book in the subject for all researchers
across multi-disciplines since intense beams from modern sources
have revolutionized x-ray science in recent years

* Is relevant to students, postdocurates and researchers working
on x-rays and related synchrotron sources and applications in
materials, physics, medicine, environment/geology, and
biomedical materials

Autor

Jeroen van Bokhoven has been an Associate Professor of Heterogeneous Catalysis in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biology at ETH since 2010. He completed a degree in chemistry at Utrecht University in 1995 and went on to obtain a PhD in inorganic chemistry and catalysis in 2000. From 1999 until 2002 he was head of the XAS (X-ray absorption spectroscopy) users - support group at Utrecht University. In 2006 he obtained an SNF assistant professorship in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biology. He was the 2008 recipient of the Swiss Chemical Society Werner Prize. Van Bokhoven works in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and (X-ray) spectroscopy. His main interests are heterogeneous catalysts and developing advanced tools in X-ray spectroscopy to study the catalyst structure under catalytic relevant conditions. Carlo Lamberti achieved his degree in Physics in 1988 with a thesis in the field of many body Physics. From 1988 to 1993 he worked in the CSELT laboratories Torino, on the characterization of the interfaces of semiconductor heterostructures with high resolution XRD and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. He presented his PhD defense in solid state physics on this topic in Rome in 1993. He was appointed to the position of researcher in October 1998 at the Department of Inorganic, Physical and Materials Chemistry of the Torino University, and as Associate Professor in December 2006. In recent years he has become an expert in the techniques based on Synchrotron Radiation and Neutrons beams in the characterization of materials, performing more than 90 experiments approved by international committees on the following large scale facilities. He has authored and co-authored more than 200 research articles and five book chapters and two books. He is member of the PhD School in Material Science of the Torino University, and is the Italian coordinator of the MaMaSELF European Master in Materials Science.
