Royal Society of Chemistry Book Presentation: "Structural Dynamics with X-Ray and Electron Scattering"

The Royal Society of Chemistry has published the book "Structural Dynamics with X-ray and Electron Scattering" with a number of significant contributions from MBI researchers. Edited by MBI scientists Kasra Amini, Arnaud Rouzée and Marc Vrakking, the book contains 16 chapters written by leading experts in X-ray and electron scattering, gas phase and condensed matter physics, ultrafast diffraction imaging, microscopy and spectroscopy.

Notable contributions from MBI colleagues Bastian Pfau and Stefan Eisebitt from MBI Division B of “Transient Electronic Structure and Nanophysics” provide valuable insights into X-ray resonance scattering and holography of magnetisation dynamics. Meanwhile, MBI researchers from Division C of “Precision Physics”, Christoph Hauf, Michael Woerner and Thomas Elsaesser, provide extensive details on femtosecond X-ray diffraction with laser-driven hard X-ray sources in the study of nuclear motions and transient charge densities.

Written for both the novice and the experienced researcher, the book is divided into two parts. Part I contains three introductory chapters on ultrafast molecular spectroscopy in the gas phase, ultrafast spectroscopy in solids, and the theory of time-dependent scattering. Part II, with 13 chapters, covers the state of the art in X-ray and electron scattering.
