This new reference presents reviews of various aspects of radiation/matter interactions, be these instrumental developments, the application of the study of the interaction of X-rays and materials to a particular scientific field, orspecific methodological approaches.Five chapters cover a range of subject areas within a pedagogical framework. Each chapter is written by an author who iswell known within their field and who has delivered an invited lecture on their subject area as part of the “RX2009 – X-rays and Materials” colloquium that took place in December 2009 at Orsay in France.Chapter 1 gives a detailed presentation of the capabilities and potential of beam lines dedicated to condensed matter studies at the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation source.Chapter 2 focuses on the study of nanoparticles using small-angle X-rayscattering.Chapter 3 discusses the quantitative studies of this scattering signal used to analyze these characteristics in detail.Chapter 4 discusses relaxor materials, which are ceramics with a particularly complex microstructure.Chapter 5discusses an approach enabling the in situ analysis of these phase transitions and their associated microstructural changes.
