Abstract

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy has undergone a great theoretical and experimental development in the last years. This technique has proved to be a powerful tool in elucidating huge number of questions in materials science. Great interest exists in time-resolved experiments achieved with extreme energy resolution and energy scale stability taking full advantage of the strong correlation between the stereochemical environment of the absorbing atom and the exact shape and position of the absorption edge.

Fast energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy allows in situ observations with data collected in a short time. Thus structural modifications are easily found and moreover, this scheme provides high energy resolution. However, quantitative analysis for very dilute systems are photon limited. A great benefit is expected from the forthcoming storage ring (ESRF) which should be able to give flux by at least 3 orders of magnitude greater. Only a few detection systems have been to compete with this creditable performance by synchrotron radiation source.

Nowadays the main limitation concerns very low-concentration samples since it is no longer possible to use the dispersive geometry. The fluorescent detection has proven to be efficient in photosynthesis study at concentrations of about 100 µmol but the use of decay channels is irrelevant for the dispersive schee since they are not dependent on the energy of the photon which creates the photoelectric core hole.
