X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

چکیده
X-ray absorptioń spectroscopy, today widely used as a tool for structural investigations, is described. Theoretically it is shown that above an absorption edge the absorption coefficient is well approximated by a sum of terms, each one describing a particular path followed by the photoelectron outgoing from the atom. Such geometrical feature allows to use X-ray absorption spectroscopy for structural investigations. The data anałysis procedures are outhned. Applications of the single scattering region, generally known as EXAFS to semiconductors alloys, to metallic clusters and to the crystallization of amorphous metallic glasses are illustrated. Multiple scattering calculations and their relation to experimental spectra is discussed in the case of Mn ions in solution. Application of the multipłe scattering to determine the three-body correlation function in a-Si:H is shown.

Structural changes of the iron(II)-tris-bipyridine ([Fe(II)(bpy)(3)](2+)) complex induced by ultrashort pulse excitation and population of its short-lived (< or =0.6 ns) quintet high spin state have been detected by picosecond x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The structural relaxation from the high spin to the low spin state was followed over the entire lifetime of the excited state. A combined a...
