High Resolution Soft X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy with the `Dragon` Monochromator
17 July 1989
Many novel observations have been obtained in atomic, molecular and condensed matter core-level photoabsorption experiments using the newly constructed `Dragon` high resolution soft x-ray synchrotron radiation beamline. The K-shell absorption structure of the nitrogen molecule as well as the L sub (2,3) edge core-excitons of potassium halides are utilized to exemplify the capability of high resolution soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The potential application of photoabsorption spectroscopy in chemical analysis (PASCA) will be presented and examples from material and bio-physical research will be given.
