Development of a laboratory based quick X-ray absorption and emission spectrometer in a Von Hamos geometry. Ghent University
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely applied analytical technique that allows the
investigation of an element’s oxidation state and local chemical structure in a surrounding sample
matrix. X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), on the other hand, provides information on the
electronic structure and the nature of bound ligands, very complementary to XAS.
Due to the need for a means to select a narrow energy ...
