Abstract

Low energy x-ray research has experienced a renaissance in the last decade due to new developments in physics. Cosmic x-ray sources are being explored through x-ray telescopes orbiting in satellites. Hot plasmas for fusion energy are studied with x-ray optical techniques. Microstructure fabrication with small dimensions is performed through x-ray lithography. Atomic and molecular as well as solid-state and surface physics phenomena are investigated by use of x-ray spectroscopy with tunable x-ray beams from synchrotron radiation sources. X-ray microscopy is performed using recently developed x-ray optics and electron storage rings as brilliant soft x-ray sources.
