Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Spectroscopy
  • Physics

Background:

  • X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) can be degraded by parasitic scattering.
  • Energy-dispersive XAS is susceptible to artifacts from sample or cell window scattering.
  • Poor spectral quality can obscure important features like the Pt L(III) white line.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a novel filtering technique for energy-dispersive XAS.
  • To mitigate the effects of parasitic small-angle scattering.
  • To improve the energy resolution and feature intensity in XAS.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a filtering setup at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
  • Utilized a curved monochromator and a Bonse-Hart double-crystal diffractometer.
