Common XAFS materials

Click on an element to jump to that list of compounds in BMM's collection.

Compounds marked with ✔ are permanently mounted on the reference wheel.

For compounds on the reference wheel (✔), data are ln(It/Ir).

Click on a symbol to view data in Jake Filik's Web XDI Viewer.

Compounds marked with Fl were measured in fluorescence.

[___] means the data was measured at BMM on a high-quality sample that is not in BMM's collection.

Edge energies in black text are accessible at BMM. Those in grey text are not.

Some L1 data have small edge steps.
