The enormous advantages that synchrotron radiation offers over conventional X-ray sources—among which brilliance, tunability and intrinsic collimation—strongly contribute to improve our knowledge on the physical, chemical and structural properties of Earth materials and on planetary processes. This chapter will review some applications and developments in the fields of synchrotron radiation-based Earth Sciences research. Some of the main problems of modern mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry will be discussed and recent case studies will be presented to show to what extent synchrotron radiation can contribute to their solution.

Abstract
The enormous advantages that synchrotron radiation offers over conventional X-ray sources—among which brilliance, tunability and intrinsic collimation—strongly contribute to improve our knowledge on the physical, chemical and structural properties of Earth materials and on planetary processes. This chapter will review some applications and developments in the fields of synchrotron radiation-based Earth Sciences research. Some of the main problems of modern mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry will be discussed and recent case studies will be presented to show to what extent synchrotron radiation can contribute to their solution.File in questo prodotto:
