X-ray absorption spectroscopy

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a set of advanced techniques used for probing the local environment of matter at atomic level and its electronic structure.[1] The experiments require access to synchrotron radiation facilities for their intense and tunable X-ray beams. Samples can be in the gas phase, solutions, or solids.[2]
