Analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure using absolute X-ray mass attenuation coefficients: Application to molybdenum
نویسندگان
چکیده
XAFS structures are solved routinely and hundreds of publications appear per annum. Limitations in theoretical predictions and XAFS analytical frameworks lead to significant uncertainty in results. This impairs structural predictions and prevents ab initio determination. The highest accuracy experimental data have been obtained using the XERT and the most popular technique to analyse the structure. We apply an accurate w fitting procedure to the molybdenum attenuation data including error propagation and improve the XAFS determinations by between 5% and 70%. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

X-ray bandwidth: Determination by on-edge absorption and effect on various absorption experiments
Knowledge of the monochromaticity of an x-ray source is increasingly important in fundamental experiments and critical applications. The bandwidth of an x-ray beam, selected from a synchrotron radiation spectrum for example, ultimately defines the limiting resolution of the synchrotron source. The development of x-ray technology through the use of characteristic line sources of fixed line shape...
متن کاملNew consistency tests for high-accuracy measurements of X-ray mass attenuation coefficients by the X-ray extended-range technique.
An extension of the X-ray extended-range technique is described for measuring X-ray mass attenuation coefficients by introducing absolute measurement of a number of foils - the multiple independent foil technique. Illustrating the technique with the results of measurements for gold in the 38-50 keV energy range, it is shown that its use enables selection of the most uniform and well defined of ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the X-ray mass attenuation coefficients of silver in the 5-20 keV range.
The X-ray mass attenuation coefficients of silver were measured in the energy range 5-20 keV with an accuracy of 0.01-0.2% on a relative scale down to 5.3 keV, and of 0.09-1.22% on an absolute scale to 5.0 keV. This analysis confirms that with careful choice of foil thickness and careful correction for systematics, especially including harmonic contents at lower energies, the X-ray attenuation ...

Radiation protection and the selection of suitable materials to reduce radiation effects is one of the important branches of medical science and radiation. In this paper, the mass attenuation coefficients, half value layer thicknesses and thicknesses of 0/5 mm lead of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites containing Nano and micro-particles of copper oxide are calculated using experimental method...
متن کاملMeasurement of the x-ray mass attenuation coefficient and the imaginary part of the form factor of silicon using synchrotron radiation
We used the x-ray extended-range technique to measure the x-ray mass attenuation coefficients of silicon with an accuracy between 0.27% and 0.5% in the 5 keV220 keV energy range. Subtraction of the x-ray scattering contribution enabled us to derive the corresponding x-ray photoelectric absorption coefficients and determine the absolute value of the imaginary part of the atomic form factor of si...
