Abstract
The first X-ray absorption experiments were carried out in the 1920’s–30’s. At that time, the modulations present in the spectra in the vicinity of the absorption edge that give rise to modern X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) were already recorded; however, their analysis had to await a theoretical interpretation. This was finally achieved in the 1970’s, primarily through the work of E. Stern, D. Sayers and F. Lytle in Seattle [1], and it provided an understanding of the relationships between the spectral oscillations and the local bonding and structure around the atom being probed. This important step occurred at the same time as the first synchrotron radiation facilities became available, providing a new source of high intensity x-ray beams that are necessary for XAS studies.
