• Summary
<strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>synchrotron</strong> <strong>radiation</strong><br />
When an electron traveling at a speed close to the speed of light<br />
in an orbit, it emits a continuum of electromagnetic <strong>radiation</strong><br />
tangential to the orbit, which <strong>is</strong> Synchrotron light.<br />
3
Then they pass into the<br />
booster ring where they are<br />
accelerated to 99.9999% of<br />
the speed of light<br />
Electrons are<br />
generated here<br />
Creating the light<br />
And are finally transferred into the<br />
storage ring<br />
And initially<br />
accelerated in<br />

Synchrotron Radiation Properties<br />
• Tunability (IR to hard x-rays, element specific)<br />
• Brightness (highly collimated, micro/nano beam)<br />
• Polarization (linear, circular, tunable, dichro<strong>is</strong>m)<br />
• Time structure (short pulse, dynamics)
Techniques of SR<br />
The fundamental parameters necessary for perception of physical world:<br />
• Energy (spectroscopy, state of matter)<br />
• Momentum (scattering)<br />
• Position (imaging, spatial d<strong>is</strong>tribution)<br />

<strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) <br />
• As core electron <strong>is</strong> excited with hv the threshold<br />
(E o ), it <strong>is</strong> excited to a final state defined by the<br />
chemical environment, which modulates the<br />
absorption coefficient relative to that of a free<br />
atom. Th<strong>is</strong> modulation <strong>is</strong> known the XAFS,<br />
• XAFS contains all the information about the local<br />
structure and bonding of the absorbing atom<br />
• XAFS study requires a tunable X-ray source –<br />
<strong>synchrotron</strong> <strong>radiation</strong><br />

Synchrotron <strong>radiation</strong> techniques including absorption<br />
spectroscopy such as XAFS, (XANES and EXFAS), deexcitation<br />
spectroscopy such as XEOL, TRXEOL, and XES<br />
(RIXS), XRD and spectro-microscoy (STXM) have<br />
provided unprecedented research opportunities in probing<br />
