Synchrotron Radiation and Catalytic Science

Infrared Science with Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation is best known as a source of X-rays, but it is also a source for VUV to soft-Xrays photons. However, it was realised in the early 90’s that this source can also be exploited in the infrared energy domain. Even if in some frequency regions (roughly 30 microns and below) the total photon flux emitted by the synchrotron source remains inferior to that of a thermal source, the...

SYMPOSIUM O Synchrotron radiation and materials science

Molecular Environmental Science Using Synchrotron Radiation:

Synchrotron radiation techniques in materials and environmental science.

Synchrotron-based techniques have had, over the last 30 years, a major and profound effect on the study of complex materials and on environmental science. Their ability to obtain accurate information at the atomic and molecular level on both local and longrange structures, together with the increasing ability to undertake time-resolved structural studies, has transformed our understanding of se...

Synchrotron radiation macromolecular crystallography: science and spin-offs

A current overview of synchrotron radiation (SR) in macromolecular crystallography (MX) instrumentation, methods and applications is presented. Automation has been and remains a central development in the last decade, as have the rise of remote access and of industrial service provision. Results include a high number of Protein Data Bank depositions, with an increasing emphasis on the successfu...
