where e is the electronic charge, B 0 is the magnetic field, m is the electron rest<br />

mass and c is the speed of light.<br />

For undulator K > 1, the oscillation amplitude is bigger and the radiation contributions<br />

from each field period sum up independently leading to a broad energy spectrum.<br />

Insertion devices can provide several orders of magnitude higher flux than a simple<br />

bending magnet and are in high demand at synchrotron radiation facilities. For an<br />

undulator with N periods, the brightness can be up to N 2 more than a bending<br />

magnet.<br />

The experiments presented in this thesis were performed at different synchrotrons<br />

using monochromators of various type. The HRPES and XAS experiments were<br />

performed at the WERA soft x-ray beamline of ANKA synchrotron, Germany. At<br />

BEAR and BACH beamlines of ELETTRA synchrotron, Italy, the XAS experiments<br />

were performed.<br />

At WERA soft x-ray beamline of ANKA synchrotron, a spherical grating monochromator<br />

(DRAGON type) [21, 52] was used. The layout of the WERA soft x-ray beamline<br />

is shown in the Fig. 2.19. It consists of a pair of mirrors 1 (horizontal) and
