X-ray absorption fine structure
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) is a specific structure observed in X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). By analyzing the XAFS, information can be acquired on the local structure and on the unoccupied electronic states. The X-ray absorption spectra show a steep rise at the core-level binding..

X-ray background
The observed X-ray background is thought to result from, at the "soft" end (below 0.3 keV), Galactic X-ray emission (the "galactic" X-ray background), and, at the "hard" end (above 0.3keV), from a combination of many unresolved X-ray sources outside of the Milky Way (the "cosmic" X-ray background). ..
X-ray binary
X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are very luminous in X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one component (usually a relatively normal star) to the other component, which is a neutron star or a black hole. The infalling matter releases gravitational potential energy, ..
X-ray burster
X-ray bursters are a class of binary stars which have periodic outbursts luminous in X-rays. They contain a neutron star and an accreting companion. When a star in a binary fills its Roche lobe (either due to being very large or very close to its companion), it begins to lose matter, which streams ..
X-ray crystallography
X-ray crystallography is a technique in crystallography in which the pattern produced by the diffraction of X-rays through the closely spaced lattice of atoms in a crystal is recorded and then analyzed to reveal the nature of that lattice.

X-ray fluorescence
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the phenomenon where a material is exposed to X-rays of high energy, and as the X-ray (or photon) strikes an atom (or a molecule) in the sample, energy is absorbed by the atom. If the energy is high enough, a core electron is ejected out of its atomic orbital. An elect..
X-ray image intensifier
An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) refers to a special image intensifier device used in medical imaging involving x rays. It consists of an input window, input phosphor, photocathode, vacuum and electron optics, output phosphor and output window. It allows for lower x-ray doses to be used on patien..

X-ray microscope
An X-ray microscope uses electromagnetic radiation in the soft X-ray band to produce images of very small objects. Unlike visible light microscopes, X-rays do not reflect or refract easily, and they are invisible to the human eye. Therefore the basic process of an X-ray microscope is to expose film ..

X-ray optics
X-ray optics is the branch of optics which manipulates x-rays instead of visible light. First proposed by M.A. Kumakhov, it was originally thought out as the reflection of x-rays from smooth surfaces.
