Deconvolution problems in x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy

Abstract

A Bayesian method application to the deconvolution of EXAFS spectra is considered. It is shown that for purposes of EXAFS spectroscopy, from the infinitely large number of Bayesian solutions it is possible to determine an optimal range of solutions, any one from which is appropriate. Since this removes the requirement for the uniqueness of solution, it becomes possible to exclude the instrumental broadening and the lifetime broadening from EXAFS spectra. In addition, we propose several approaches to the determination of optimal Bayesian regularization parameter. The Bayesian deconvolution is compared with the deconvolution which uses the Fourier transform and optimal Wiener filtering. It is shown that XPS spectra could be in principle used for extraction of a oneelectron absorptance. The amplitude correction factors obtained after deconvolution are considered and discussed. 61.10.Ht

Laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry of erbium‐doped Ga‐Ge‐Sb‐S glasses

“…The EXAFS measurements were recorded using a liquid N 2 cryostat and fluorescence modes. The raw intensities were converted into χ(k) curves by the Viper program . The coordination numbers, bond lengths, and Debye‐Waller factors were obtained by fitting the χ(k) curves with the Viper program.…”

Investigation of Organic Materials From the ‘Royal’ Burials of Xiongnu (Noin‐Ula, Mongolia) by Srxrf and XAFS Methods

“…The EXAFS spectra were treated using the standard procedures (Kochubey ; Klementev ). The background was removed by extrapolating the pre‐edge region on to the EXAFS region in the form of polynomials.…”
