Structures on Different Time Scales : Volume 1

Product Description
This work presents theory and methods to study electron densities and dynamics in solids, from static-relaxed up to meta-stable electronically excited structures. The authors cover structure analysis from its beginning in 1912 up to femtosecond X-ray pulses while focusing on new ways of analysis and modeling of structures and electron densities in non-equilibrium states.
Review
The book is well structured and the content of the different chapters sufficiently distinct and complementary. For newcomers in the field, the book offers a highly tutorial introduction to concepts and methods, augmented by a selection of recent prototypical results of research. The combination of theoretical and experimental chapters is convincing and makes use of consistent definitions of physical quantities and mathematical symbols. [...] the book conveys important knowledge to a broad audience and provides a very good introduction to an exciting new field of X-ray science.Thomas Elsaesser in: Journal of Applied Crystalography 52 (2019), 1-2
