X-Ray Absorption: Principles, Applications, Techniques of EXAFS, SEXAFS and XANES

by D. C. Koningsberger (Editor), R. Prins (Editor)

Overview

Describes several specific spectrometric techniques that are very useful in elucidating the fundamental nature of matter: EXAFS—Extended X-Ray Absorption of Fine Structure; SEXAFS—which is EXAFS applied to Surface Phenomena; and XANES—X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structures. Articles explain the phenomena and describe examples of X-ray absorption applications in several fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, amorphous and liquid systems, synchrotron radiation, and surface phenomena. Contributors explain the underlying theory, how to set up X-ray absorption experiments, and how to analyze the details of the resulting spectra. This volume will be of particular interest to physicists, chemists, biologists, and materials scientists.
