NEXAFS, XANES

The most promising techniques for obtaining detailed surface structural information about molecular adsorbates rely on electron diffraction in one way or another. These include LEED,/27,28,29/ IV-HREELS,/30/ EAPFS,/31/ SEELFS,/32,33/ EXELFS,/34,35/ ARUPS, ARXPS, ARPEFS,/36,37,38/ PE-SEXAFS, SEXAFS, EXAFS, and NEXAFS (XANES). These and other techniques have been discussed above in part 2, and were summarized in Table I. Among these techniques, LEED has been the most productive.

EXAFS is part of the field of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in which a number of acronyms abound. An X-ray absorption spectrum contains EXAFS data as well as the X-ray absorption near-edge structure, XANES (alternatively called the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS). The combination of XANES (NEXAFS) and EXAFS is commonly referred to as X-ray absorption fine structure, or XAFS. In applications of EXAFS to surface science, the acronym SEXAFS, for surface-EXAFS, is used. The principles and analysis of EXAFS and SEXAFS are the same. See the article following this one for a discussion of SEXAFS and NEXAFS. 

XANES X-ray absorption near-edge structure (see NEXAFS)... 

The technique is also referred to as NEXAFS, although this acronym appears to be used increasingly for X-ray absorption at low energies and in light elements [36, 48]. Like QEXAFS, XANES spectra can be recorded in fast mode, to monitor the kinetics of solid-state reactions in real time [49]. 

XANES X-ray Adsorption Near-Edge Structure Another name for NEXAFS. 

A few structures have been solved by x-ray adsorption near-edge fine structure (XANES), including oxygen on Ni(100)./16/ This technique is also known as near-edge x-ray adsorption fine structure (NEXAFS). 

A variation of XANES or NEXAFS has been used to determine the structure of molecules chemisorbed on surfaces. In this approach photoemitted electrons excite molecular orbitals in the chemisorbed molecules. By varying the polarization of the incident photons, molecular orientation can be determined from selection rules for excitation. The bond lengths can be determined from a quasi-empirical correlation between bond-length and the shift in the molecular orbital excitation energy. This technique has been used to study the chemisorption of several hydrocarbon molecules on different metal surfaces./17/...
