✦ Synopsis

Crystals and Large Band Gap Materials, (5) Band States in Metals and Semiconductors, (6) Photoemission and Surface Properties, (7) The X-ray Edge Shape in Simple Metals, (8) Instrumentation, (9) Synchrotron Radiation, (10) Applications in Biology. In all of these topics exciting new developments are taking place and in particular the increasing use of synchrotrons as sources of radiation extending from the infrared to the soft X-ray region has added a new dimension to many experimental studies of the interaction of radiation with matter. Each section is opened by an invited paper by an authority in the field and usually quotes about a hundred key references. These together with the references given in the contributed papers form an excellent guide to the literature in the more specialized branches of the subject.
