Table 3.1
(continued)
Name of the method
(abbreviation, if any)
Range (wavelength or
photon energy)
Interaction of the beam with
the specimen
Signal detected (with some
details of the detection)
Information yield of the
method
Extended X-ray Absorption
Fine Structure (EXAFS)
X-ray (about 0.2–35 keV)
(often measured together
with XANES)
Same as XANES
Transmitted beam intensity as
a function of X-ray photon
energy higher than about
200 eV from the absorption
edge
Element-specific local
structure: interatomic
distances and coordination
numbers (up to the 2nd
coordination sphere)
X-ray tomography
X-ray (λ: 0.01–10 nm)
Absorption of the radiation
Transmitted intensity
(measured in transmission
mode) as a function of the
radiation direction
Computer-reconstructed
internal structure with a
resolution down to about
1
μm
Mössbauer spectroscopy
γ (nucleus-specific; for
57
Fe: 14.4 keV)
Recoilless resonance
absorption of the
γ-photon
by the nucleus
Absorption (transmitted beam)
as a function of the target
velocity
Isomer shift, quadrupole
splitting, hyperfine
interaction (oxidation state,
chemical and magnetic
environment, resp.)
