X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012749",
  "term": "X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spectroscopic technique that analyzes the fine structure observed in the X-ray absorption spectrum beyond the absorption edge. It provides detailed information about the local atomic structure, coordination number, and bond distances around a specific absorbing atom. This technique encompasses both X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS).",
