The Nature of X-Rays and Their Interactions with Matter

Joachim Stöhr received his Ph.D. from TU Munich, Germany and, after spending time at Exxon and IBM Research Labs, joined Stanford University as Professor of Photon Science in 2000. He was the director of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (2005-09) and the founding director of the Linac Coherent Light Source (2009-13). He has written two prior books, NEXAFS Spectroscopy (Springer, 1992) and Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Nanoscale Dynamics (Springer, 2006) with H. C. Siegmann. In 2011, he received the Davisson-Germer Prize in Surface Physics from the American Physical Society. He has been a professor emeritus of Photon Science since 2017.

Joachim Stöhr 於德國慕尼黑工業大學獲得博士學位，之後在埃克森美孚和 IBM 研究實驗室工作，於 2000 年加入史丹佛大學擔任光子科學教授。他曾擔任史丹佛同步輻射光源的主任（2005-09），並且是線性加速器相干光源的創始主任（2009-13）。他曾與 H. C. Siegmann 共同撰寫兩本書籍，分別是《NEXAFS Spectroscopy》（Springer，1992）和《Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Nanoscale Dynamics》（Springer，2006）。在 2011 年，他獲得美國物理學會頒發的 Davisson-Germer 表面物理獎。自 2017 年以來，他一直擔任光子科學的名譽教授。
