A review of synchrotron X-ray radiation spectroscopy and imaging ‎ ‎

Abstract

Synchrotron radiation is an advanced polarized and collimated light source with high brilliance and intensity. whereas This radiation has a wavelength range of infrared to the highest-energy x-rays. In this article, we provide a summary of application of x-ray spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation to x-ray spectroscopy. Here we discuss ten types of x-ray techniques include X-ray Powder Diffraction(XRPD), Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS), Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), X-ray fluorescence(XRF), X-ray reflectometry (XRR), Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS), X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), Photo Electron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES), and x-ray imaging spectroscopy. These techniques have good potential for characterization of various micro- and nano-materials. Furthermore, some advantages of the use of these techniques are as follows: improving signal to noise ratio, better spatial resolution, and improving data acquisition.
