On the relation between X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and XAFS

X - Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Silicate Glasses

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique capable of providing unique information about the structural chemistry of glasses. However, inappropriate procedures for the preparation of sample surfaces or the lack of reliable methods to overcome electrostatic charging effects during analysis of dielectric materials can cause spurious features to be introduced or intrinsic featu...

X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) Spectroscopy – A Review

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) refers to the details of how X-rays are absorbed by an atom at energies near and above the core-level binding energies of that particular atom. The absorption of X-rays on the high energy side of absorption edges does not vary monotonically in condensed matter but has a complicated behavior which extends past the edge up to about ~1 keV. This non-monotonic va...
