Abstract:
The modulation of X-ray absorption coefficients beyond the threshold results in fine structure which can furnish very useful information 11 to 31. In the vicinity of the principal absorption edge the fine structure calied XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) covers an energy range up to roughly 40 to 50 eV around the edge. In the present note we show how Natoli's multiple scattering approach to XANES can be applied to determine the bond lengths in certain aluminium-manganese alloys.
