The Story
Describes several specific spectrometric techniques that are very useful in elucidating the fundamental nature of matter: EXAFSExtended XRay Absorption of Fine Structure; SEXAFSwhich is EXAFS applied to Surface Phenomena; and XANESXRay Absorption Near Edge Structures. Articles explain the phenomena and describe examples of Xray 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 Xray 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.
