X-Rays and Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation
With this fully updated second edition, you will gain a detailed understanding of the
physics and applications of modern x-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation
sources. Taking into account the most recent improvements in capabilities, coverage
is expanded to include new chapters on free electron lasers (FELs), laser high harmonic
generation (HHG), x-ray and EUV optics, and nanoscale imaging, a completely revised
chapter on spatial and temporal coherence, and extensive discussion of the generation
and applications of femtosecond and attosecond techniques. You will be guided step by
step through the mathematics of each topic, with over 300 figures, 50 reference tables,
and 600 equations enabling easy understanding of key concepts. Homework problems,
a solutions manual for instructors, and links to YouTube lectures accompany the book
online.
This is the “go-to” guide for graduate students, researchers, and industry practitioners
looking to grasp the fundamentals of x-ray and EUV interaction with matter, or expand
their knowledge of this rapidly growing field.
David Attwood is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. He is
a co-founder of the Applied Science and Technology PhD program at Berkeley, and a
Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America. He has
published over 100 scientific papers and co-edited several books.
Anne Sakdinawat is a scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where she
leads a scientifically motivated imaging and nanofabrication group co-located at Stan-
ford University. She is the recipient of the international Meyer-Ilse Award for advances
in x-ray microscopy, and a US Department of Energy Early Career Award.
