Soft X-ray spectroscopy

Soft X-ray spectroscopy is a technique used to study the composition and properties of materials by analyzing how they absorb or emit soft X-ray radiation, which has relatively low energy compared to other X-rays. When soft X-rays interact with a material, they cause electrons to move or be ejected, revealing details about the atoms and molecules present. This method helps scientists understand surface chemistry, electronic structure, and elemental composition in fields like materials science, physics, and chemistry. It’s a powerful tool for gaining insights into the microscopic world by examining how materials respond to soft X-ray light.
