Advances in X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Analysis (Materials Science)

This book provides a comprehensive theoretical practical and thorough guide to current X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy and modern applications. It contains the experimental and theoretical aspects of XAFS in 14 chapters based on recent developments in the XAFS approach to science and technology describing the basic principles and theories calculation methods computer programs advanced methodologies and techniques experiments data analysis and interpretation and applications. Among the broad XAFS subjects of synchrotron radiation applications the book specifically covers EXAFS XANES and NEXAFS AXAFS DAFS XMCD MEXAFS XMLD and X-ray natural dichroism (XNCD and XNLD).This book may serve as a reference book for researchers and technicians taking up synchrotron radiation application research and postgraduates majoring in the X-ray absorption spectroscopy field. It will provide the beginners with all the necessary information in the field of XAFS. Also experienced users active in particular subfields of XAFS spectroscopies will learn in this book about the enormous potential of XAFS for other applications in physics chemistry biology materials science and engineering geo- and environmental science etc. For more details please visit https: //centralwestpublishing.coms book provides a comprehensive theoretical practical and thorough guide to current X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy and modern applications.
