Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure - Applications

Applications

XAS is an interdisciplinary technique and its unique properties, as compared to x-ray diffraction, have been exploited for understanding the details of local structure in:

  • glass, amorphous and liquid systems
  • solid solutions
  • Doping and ionic implantation materials for electronics
  • local distortions of crystal lattices
  • organometallic compounds
  • metalloproteins
  • metal clusters
  • vibrational dynamics
  • ions in solutions
  • speciation of elements
