Elements of Modern X-ray Physics

The second edition differs substantially from the first edition, with over 30% new material, including: 

• A new chapter on non-crystalline diffraction - designed to appeal to the large community who study the structure of liquids, glasses, and most importantly polymers and bio-molecules
• A new chapter on x-ray imaging - developed in close cooperation with many of the leading experts in the field
• Two new chapters covering non-crystalline diffraction and imaging
• Many important changes to various sections in the book have been made with a view to improving the exposition
• Four-colour representation throughout the text to clarify key concepts
• Extensive problems after each chapter 

There is also supplementary book material for this title available online (http://booksupport.wiley.com).

Praise for the previous edition:

“The publication of Jens Als-Nielsen and Des McMorrow’s Elements of Modern X-ray Physics is a defining moment in the field of synchrotron radiation… a welcome addition to the bookshelves of synchrotron–radiation professionals and students alike.... The text is now my personal choice for teaching x-ray physics…” – Physics Today, 2002
