This paper will discuss the use of Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) Spectroscopy to study the unoccupied n molecular orbital (MO) structures of polymers and polymer-metal interfaces. A collection of systematic NEXAFS and EELS studies of simple organic compounds by J. Stohr and others (1-10) has led to recent advances in the understanding and interpretation of this technique. It s application to complicated polymers and polymer-metal interactions has only begun, but NEXAFS spectroscopy promises to be an important complement to other photoelectron spectroscopies. 

In this article, we summarize our recent results on this topic using Near Edge X ray Absorption Fine Structures (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at the C12p edge (200 eV), with, precisely, a particular emphasis made on the description at a molecular level of the chemical state of hydrogen chloride. 

This article reviews Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (nexafs) spectroscopy, which underlies the ability for quantitation of sample composition in x-ray microscopy. Also covered are state-of-the-art x-ray microscopy instrumentation techniques and a relatively complete overview of nexafs microscopy applications.
