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. 410 0$aSpringer Tracts in Modern Physics,$x1615-0430 ;$v288 606 $aSynchrotrons 606 $aOptics 606 $aX-ray spectroscopy 606 $aAtoms 606 $aMolecules 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aSynchrotron Techniques 606 $aLight-Matter Interaction 606 $aX-Ray Spectroscopy 606 $aAtomic, Molecular and Chemical Physics 606 $aQuantum Optics 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics 615 0$aSynchrotrons. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aX-ray spectroscopy. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aMolecules. 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 14$aSynchrotron Techniques. 615 24$aLight-Matter Interaction. 615 24$aX-Ray Spectroscopy. 615 24$aAtomic, Molecular and Chemical Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 676 $a539.7222 676 $a539.7222 700 $aStöhr$b Joachim$01166380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729894403321 996 $aThe Nature of X-Rays and Their Interactions with Matter$93421497 997 $aUNINA
