The availability of such sources will have many applications in basic science, technology and medicine, and, in particular, they may have a revolutionary impact on nuclear and solid state physics, as well as on the life sciences.\u003cbr\u003eThe present state-of-the-art lasers are capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation from the infrared to the ultraviolet, while free electron lasers (X-FELs) are now entering the soft X-ray region. Moving further, i.e. into the hard X and\/or gamma ray band, however, is not possible without new approaches and technologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book we introduce and discuss one such novel approach -the radiation formed in a Crystalline Undulator - whereby electromagnetic radiation is generated by a bunch of ultra-relativistic particles channeling through a periodically bent crystalline structure. Under certain conditions, such a device can emit intensive spontaneous monochromatic radiation and even reach the coherence of laser light sources. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders will be presented with the underlying fundamental physics and be familiarized with the theoretical, experimental and technological advances made during the last one and a half decades in exploring the various features of investigations into crystalline undulators. This research draws upon knowledge from many research fields - such as materials science, beam physics, the physics of radiation, solid state physics and acoustics, to name but a few. Accordingly, much care has been taken by the authors to make the book as self-contained as possible in this respect, so as to also provide a useful introduction to this emerging field to a broad readership of researchers and scientist with various backgrounds.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition has been revised and extended to take recent developments in the field into account. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275136327831,"sku":"9783662506172","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662506172.webp?v=1769282001","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/channeling-and-radiation-in-periodically-bent-crystals-9783662506172","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
