First encyclopaedia on X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

New experimental techniques developed by Professor Chris Chantler and team allow X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-ray Absorption Fine structure (XAFS, and the related technique called XANES) determination with an accuracy increased by up to two orders of magnitude, which in turn challenges all available theory and modelling. The group has produced the first encyclopaedia on X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, https://it.iucr.org/Ia/ by the International Union of Crystallography, edited with Bruce Bunker and Federico Boscherini. International Tables for Crystallography, Volume I: X-ray Absorption spectroscopy and Related Techniques is now published and distributed, and available from Amazon, IUCr and Wiley! This monumental achievement took over 8 years.
