Because atoms of each element absorb X-rays at characteristic energies, XAS is well suited for mapping out the spatial distribution of elements in a sample. Typically, scientists perform XAS experiments at synchrotron light sources\u2014such as the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)\u2014because they provide very bright, tunable X-rays. By measuring the absorbance in a sample at varying X-ray energies, scientists can generate a plot called an X-ray absorption spectrum.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-07-x-ray-absorption-spectra-graphs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Predicting X-ray absorption spectra from graphs<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a popular characterization technique for probing the local atomic structure and electronic properties of materials and molecules.
