Thickness Inhomogeneity Effect in EXAFS Spectroscopy
In many cases x-ray absorption spectra measured in transmission mode are degraded by an inhomogeneity in thickness of the samples. As a result, the EXAFS amplitude is decreased and information about the coordination numbers is distorted. To avoid this influence, it is necessary to prepare a homogeneous sample. But, for powder samples, thick inhomogeneous foils, and sputtered films this is not possible. Absorption spectra on these samples should be corrected for the thickness inhomogeneity effect.To correct an absorption spectrum it is necessary to know the sample thickness distribution function. We propose a method of solving an integral equation for a distribution function as an inverse pr…
Local structure of A-atom in ABO3 perovskites studies by RMC-EXAFS
The measurements of Sr K-edge XAFS were performed under the approval of Proposal No. 97G042 of Photon Factory (KEK) and partially supported by the Research Grants of Hirosaki University. This work was supported by Bruce Ravel providing data for BTO. Boby Joseph acknowledges IISc Bangalore and ICTP Trieste for financial support through the award of the IISc-ICTP fellowship.
