Abstract

One of the most versatile probes for spectroscopy is the photon because it is readily tuned through a wide range of frequencies, it is chargeless, and because of the additional information available from its vector nature. With the advent of intense radiation light sources a nearly untouched region of the spectrum has become available for a wide range of new experiments. Two of the main techniques in use are those of absorption and photoemission. This thesis uses these techniques on a variety of different materials for the analysis of their morphology and electronic structure. The principles underlying the techniques of soft-x-ray absorption, bulk-, and surface-photoemission are discussed together with some of the experimental methods and instrumentation.
