EXAFSXANESspektroskopia

EXAFSXANESspek is a software package designed for the analysis of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data, specifically focusing on the X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) regions. Developed with the aim of providing a user-friendly yet powerful tool, EXAFSXANESspek facilitates the processing, fitting, and interpretation of complex spectroscopic information.

The software typically handles raw data acquisition formats, performing essential pre-processing steps such as background subtraction and normalization. It then allows users to extract meaningful parameters from the XANES region, which provides information about the electronic and chemical state of the absorbing atom, and the EXAFS region, which yields details about the local atomic environment, including bond distances, coordination numbers, and types of neighboring atoms.

EXAFSXANESspek often incorporates sophisticated fitting algorithms, enabling researchers to model experimental spectra using theoretical standards or by refining parameters to match experimental observations. This fitting capability is crucial for determining the structure and bonding of materials at the atomic level. The package is generally written in programming languages common in scientific computing, such as Python or Fortran, making it accessible to a broad range of researchers in materials science, chemistry, physics, and related fields. Its utility lies in its ability to transform raw experimental data into tangible structural and electronic insights.
