Methods

Synchrotron radiation (SR) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) are often mentioned together, but they are not the same object. A synchrotron is a light source. XAS is an experiment that uses X-rays interacting with matter to analyse a sample. The synchrotron: a source of tunable X-raysSynchrotron radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted along the tangent when a fast charged particle is deflected in a magnetic field. In 1947, researchers saw the intense radiation produced when hi...
