Inelastic scattering of X-rays with very high energy
resolution has finally become possible thanks to a new
generation of high-intensity X-ray sources.
This development marks the end to the traditional belief
that low energy excitations like lattice vibrations cannot
be resolved directly with X-rays: Inelastic scattering
experiments allow to observe directly the small energy
shifts of the photons. Studies of lattice vibrations, of
excitations in molecular crystals, of collective excitations
in liquids and electronic excitations in crystals
demonstrating the broad applicability and power of this new
technology are discussed in this book.
The progress in this field opens up fantastic new research
areas not only in physics but also in other disciplines such
as materials science,biology and chemistry.
