Extended X-Ray Bremsstrahlung Isochromat Fine Structure

Main aspects concerning a new method of extended X-ray bremsstrahlung isochromat fine structure (EXBIFS) are specified and discussed. The EXBIFS effect is studied here by application of a single-scattering theory, which explains well the experimental phenomenon that EXBIFS of Cu and Pd is strikingly similar to the p partial density of states, although the s- and d-symmetry contributions are not negligible. The single-scattering model of EXBIFS has been successfully applied for explanation of temperature effects resulting in a smearing of oscillations for big k values. It is established here that interatomic distances can be evaluated from EXBIFS by means of the single-scattering theory and the Fourier analysis.
