1.Introduction In 3rd generation synchrotron radiation (SR), one of the most promising items may be control and characterization of polarization state. In particular, they are a crucial factor to study magnetic properties using the various techniques inscattering, absorption, diffraction and emission experiments. Indeed, low emittance SR such as Spring-8 can efficiently realize this performance...

Iodine K-edge XAFS of triiodide ions in various solvents were measured at SPring-8 BL01B1 and analyzed. Though the anion takes a linear and symmetric form, the second peak expected from enhanced multiple scatterings can be hardly observed because of its large vibrations. The bond distances and the Debye-Waller factors for the I-I couple vary when protic solvents were used and they were similar ...
