The main advantage of EXAFS analysis over X-ray Crystallography is that structures can be studied in non-crystalline forms (including liquid and frozen solutions). Among other applications, EXAFS has proven helpful in studying the behavior of non-crystalline materials, environmental samples, and metallo-proteins in their naturally occurring states.
EXAFS is Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure it also gives us information about
1) Distances between central and neighboring atoms.
2) The number of neighboring atoms.
3) The nature of neighboring atoms (their approximate atomic number)
4) Changes in central-atom coordination with changes in experimental conditions
Dear Gangatharan Sir,
Thank you so much for your valuable inputs.
I am facing some difficulties in the interpretation of EXAFS data. If you do have any suggestion regarding its interpretation, please guide me. Thanks.
If you raw data then you can analysis using There are free software available download read the manual then proceed. XAFS, Athena, CARD are some free program available in net for EXAFS. Try
