Abstract

Soft X-ray absorption fine structure (SXAFS) is based on the excitation of core-level electrons to the unoccupied states around the vacuum level, which is accompanied with soft X-ray absorption. Since each element has its own core-level energy, the SXAFS provides with element-specific information.
