modified. The same approach can be also applied to study dynamics of magnetism
by e.g. heating the sample above the Curie point.
1.9 Summary
The article provided a short summary of ideological, instrumental, and scientific
developments of Nuclear Resonance Scattering of synchrotron radiation. Comparison of the first pioneering steps in the development of the technique with the gained
ability to solve most challenging scientific cases evidences the mature status of this
still young field. Moreover, it reveals the permanently increasing rate of the development, opening access to new directions of studies, new types of systems, and new
environmental conditions. Thus, there are all reasons to believe in flourishing future
of this fascinating way to discover the most intriguing aspects of nature.
Acknowledgements The development of the techniques as well as the waste amount of applications
in various scientific fields—only a glimpse could be presented in this article—was only possible with
the great involvement of all our colleagues over the years at the beamline and with the users coming to
the beamline with incredible ideas for new challenging science. We would as well acknowledge the
fruitful collaboration and friendship of our colleagues from the other Nuclear Resonance beamlines
at APS, PETRA III, and SPring-8. However, nothing would have started without our mentors, when
we were students, E. Gerdau and G. V. Smirnov.
