NEXAFS Spectroscopy

Single shot Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy

Single shot near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was demonstrated with a laboratory setup using a laser-produced plasma (LPP) source, special reflection zone plates (RZP) and an x-ray sensitive CCD camera (GE 2048 512 X-ray, greateyes GmbH).

NEXAFS enables the investigation of the chemical environment of an analyte, yielding information such as oxidation state, inter-atomic distances or bond angles.

With the new laboratory setup, such investigations are feasible with one 1.2 ns long soft x-ray pulse, facilitating monitoring of sample degradation and time-resolved experiments.
