It emphasizes the new capabilities of XFELs which extend the study of matter to the intrinsic timescales associated with the motion of atoms and chemical transformations and give birth to the new field of non-linear x-ray science. Starting with the historical understanding of the puzzling nature of light, it covers the modern description of the creation, properties, and detection of x-rays within quantum optics. It then presents the formulation of the interactions of x-rays with atomic matter, both, from semi-classical and first-principles quantum points of view. The fundamental x-ray processes and techniques, absorption, emission, Thomson, and resonant scattering (REXS and RIXS) are reviewed with emphasis on simple intuitive pictures that are illustrated by experimental results. Concepts of x-ray imaging and diffractive imaging of atomic and nano structures are discussed, and the quantum optics formulation of diffraction is presented that reveals the remarkable quantum substructure of light. The unique power of x-rays in providing atom and chemical-bond specific information and separating charge and spin phenomena through x-ray polarization (dichroism) effects are highlighted. The book concludes with the discussion of many-photon or non-linear x-ray phenomena encountered with XFELs, such as stimulated emission and x-ray transparency. 001469515 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 16, 2023). 001469515 650_0 $$aX-rays. 001469515 650_0 $$aSynchrotrons. 001469515 650_0 $$aOptics. 001469515 650_0 $$aX-ray spectroscopy. 001469515 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001469515 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031207432$$z9783031207433$$w(OCoLC)1346533151 001469515 830_0 $$aSpringer tracts in modern physics ;$$v288. 001469515 852__ $$bebk 001469515 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-20744-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001469515 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1469515$$pGLOBAL_SET 001469515 980__ $$aBIB 001469515 980__ $$aEBOOK 001469515 982__ $$aEbook 001469515 983__ $$aOnline 001469515 994__ $$a92$$bISE
