Abstract:
LSFitXAFS is a computer program designed to calculate fractions of individual components (i.e. individual species, minerals, compounds or chemical environments) making up bulk XAFS spectra. The program performs Gaussian elimination and multiple linear regression techniques to simultaneously solve mass balance equations. In addition, the program contains a number of data reduction and analysis routines including the determination of random and systematic noise in Fourier-transformed spectra and calculation of the goodness-of-fit parameters for different combinations of shells.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...
