What information can be obtained from XANES spectra?
XANES spectra can provide information about: 1. Oxidation State: The edge position shifts depending on the oxidation state of the absorbing atom. 2. Coordination Environment: The shape and intensity of pre-edge and near-edge features can indicate the coordination geometry. 3. Electronic Structure: The fine structure in the XANES region can give insights into the unoccupied electronic states and the local electronic environment.
