This book presents reviews of various aspects ofradiation/matter interactions, be these instrumental developments, the application of the study of the interaction of X-rays andmaterials to a particular scientific field, or specificmethodological approaches.
The overall aim of the book is to provide reference summaries for arange of specific subject areas within a pedagogical framework. Each chapter is written by an author who is well known within theirfield and who has delivered an invited lecture on their subjectarea as part of the „RX2009 - X-rays andMaterials“ colloquium that took place in December 2009 atOrsay in France.
The book consists of five chapters on the subject of X-raydiffraction, scattering and absorption.
Chapter 1 gives a detailed presentation of the capabilities andpotential of beam lines dedicated to condensed matter studies atthe SOLEIL synchrotron radiation source.
Chapter 2 focuses on the study of nanoparticles using small-angleX-ray scattering.
Chapter 3 discusses the quantitative studies of this scatteringsignal used to analyze these characteristics in detail.
Chapter 4 discusses relaxor materials, which are ceramics with aparticularly complex microstructure. Chapter 5 discusses anapproach enabling the in situ analysis of these phase transitionsand their associated microstructural changes.
