Evolving XAFS

XAFS Data Interchange: A single spectrum XAFS data file format

We propose a standard data format for the interchange of XAFS data. The XAFS Data Interchange (XDI) standard is meant to encapsulate a single spectrum of XAFS along with relevant metadata. XDI is a text-based format with a simple syntax which clearly delineates metadata from the data table in a way that is easily interpreted both by a computer and by a human. The metadata header is inspired by ...

Elements of XAFS

Introduction Over the last two decades X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) spectroscopy has emerged as an incisive probe of the local structure around selected atomic species in solids, liquids, and molecular gases. Foremost among its strengths are its applicability to amorphous materials and its \tunability" { the ability to probe the environments of di erent elements in the sample by selec...

Fundamentals of XAFS

Theory and Analysis of XAFS

Owing to its element specific and short-range nature, core-level X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is now routinely used to elucidate the local structural, vibrational, and other physical properties of complex, aperiodic materials. XAS encompasses both extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near edge spectra (XANES) [1, 2], where the terms refer, respectively, t...

XAFS conference proceedings and JSR.

This issue brings together papers from the 10th International Conference on X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS X) held in Chicago in August 1998. This is one of the major synchrotron radiation conferences, held every two years since 1981 when the ®rst international meeting of XAFS experts was held in Daresbury, coincident with the operation of the ®rst of the second-generation dedicated sync...
