Abstract
Near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy is now being used to obtain information on the geometry and chemical bonding of adsorbed species [1,2]. In cases where the adsorbate geometry is not known with certainty it is useful to be able to compare the experimental near edge spectrum with a calculated spectrum for model systems representing various possible configurations of the adsorbed species. I describe in this paper a general technique for the computation of the near edge structure of adsorbates within the framework of the Scattered Wave Xα method and illustrate the application of this technique by a calculation of the near edge structure at the carbon K edge of ethylene and ethylidyne (CCH3) on Pt(111).
