Abstract

We present a personal account of both the developments in technique and instrumentation led by Neville Greaves and the scientific applications which they enabled. We focus on the pioneering period at the Synchrotron Radiation Source, Daresbury in the 1980s and 90s. We discuss and illustrate the lasting impact of these key developments on chemistry, materials and catalytic science.

Keywords: EXAFS; SAXS/WAXS; XANES; XAS; synchrotron radiation.
