This 1989 monograph represents a high-water mark of Soviet collaborative research in the application of high-energy physics to structural chemistry and biology. Published by the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, it focuses on the revolutionary impact of synchrotron radiation (SR) on diffraction studies—a field where the Novosibirsk scientific hub (Akademgorodok) was an undisputed global pioneer.
The work describes how the unique properties of synchrotron radiation—specifically its high brilliance, continuous spectrum, and polarization—opened new frontiers in the study of matter. Unlike traditional X-ray tubes, SR allowed scientists to perform time-resolved diffractometry, capturing the structural changes of materials during fast chemical reactions, phase transitions, and biological processes in real-time. The text covers the instrumentation of SR beamlines, the design of specialized diffractometers, and the mathematical methods used to process the resulting data.
Edited by G. N. Kulipanov, a leading figure in the development of synchrotron sources, and featuring contributions from specialists in solid-state chemistry like V. V. Boldyrev, the book bridges the gap between physics and chemistry. It details applications in crystallography, biophysics, and materials science. With a limited print run of only 1,000 copies, this specialized academic volume is a rare document from the final years of the Soviet scientific project, illustrating the sophisticated technological infrastructure developed in Siberia.
