Photon interference effect in x-ray absorption spectra over a wide energy range
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider fundamental structures in x-ray absorption spectra over a wide energy range. We formulate the elastic scattering in addition to the photoelectric absorption in recently reported photon interference x-ray absorption fine structure (pXAFS). The simulations show excellent agreement with experimental x-ray absorption spectra for platinum and tungsten powders far above and below the L absorption edges. pXAFS can be as big as in the order of 10% of XAFS, and cannot be easily neglected in detailed analysis of XAFS and related phenomena.

متن کاملPhoton interference x-ray absorption fine structure
We report about a fine structure in x-ray absorption spectra, named photon interference x-ray absorption fine structure (pXAFS). pXAFS is due to the interference of x-rays inside the sample and extends across absorption edges. Using a platinum foil pXAFS was measured in a high precision absorption experiment. Excellent agreement with a theoretical pXAFS simulation is achieved in the energy rang...
