Abstract

X-ray absorption spectra have been known to be structurally sensitive since 1929; it has been appreciated that if the physics of the processes involved are understood then it should be possible to invert the spectra to give structural information in real space. The development of the necessary physics however took many years. The essential origin of the process was discovered very early on by Kronig (1931, 1932) but a lack of computational tools meant that a thorough test of the theory could not be undertaken. Developments in theory, largely as the result of progress in low energy electron diffraction, computation and experimentation (via the use of intense X-ray beams from synchrotron sources), caused a sudden reawakening of interest in hard X-ray spectra in the 1970s.
