Femtosecond X-ray Scattering

The advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) opens up entirely new horizons in chemistry, biology, and physics.  The XFEL pulses have a peak brilliance that is 10^9 stronger than any synchrotron X-ray radiation.  Before the introduction of XFELs, the investigation of time-dependent change in crystals was restricted to Laue crystallography, which needs reversible photoreactions to acquire…Continue Reading Femtosecond X-ray Scattering
