This is the first ever comprehensive treatment of NEXAFS spectroscopy. It is suitable for novice researchers as an introduction to the field, while experts will welcome the detailed description of state-of-the-art instrumentation and analysis techniques, along with the latest experimental and theoretical results.

Autorentext

Joachim Stöhr received his Ph.D. from TU Munich, Germany and, after spending time at Exxon and IBM Research Labs, joined Stanford University as Professor of Photon Science in 2000. He was the director of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (2005-09) and the founding director of the Linac Coherent Light Source (2009-13). He has written two prior books, NEXAFS Spectroscopy (Springer, 1992) and Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Nanoscale Dynamics (Springer, 2006) with H. C. Siegmann. In 2011, he received the Davisson-Germer Prize in Surface Physics from the American Physical Society. He has been a professor emeritus of Photon Science since 2017.
