X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...

X ray spectrometry techniques are nowadays widely used in many analytical applications. The different interactions of x rays with matter have served to provide useful information for comprehensive ...

Herein, the O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) profile of an aqueous acetonitrile solution presented a distinct sharp peak not commonly observed in the corresponding profile of liquid water.

What is Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)? Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) is a powerful imaging technique that combines the principles of X-ray spectroscopy and microscopy ...

X-ray spectroscopic techniques rely on the element-specificity of inner-shell photoexcitation/ionization to probe electronic densities with atomic-site precision. The ...

XES is an element-specific method primarily used to analyze the partially occupied electronic structure of materials. The technique is one of the photon-in-photon-out spectroscopies in which an ...
