easyXAFS 300+
X-ray absorption spectrometer that provides information on target element’s coordination environment
Description
The EasyXAFS is an X-ray absorption spectrometer that provides information on target element’s coordination environment (e.g., coordination number, distance, species of neighbouring atom), oxidation state, spin state and ligand identity. It also has an X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) mode can be used to measure valence-to-core energy transitions, making it a powerful tool for determining detailed electronic properties of materials.
Specifications
- X-ray absorption energy range from 4.5 to 25+ keV;
- Mo and Ag tubes are available for XAFS mode;
- Pd and W tubes are available for XES mode
Applications
- Biology
- Environmental science
- Catalysts research
- Material science
- Complementary to other techniques such as SEM, XRD, and XPS
