Hi Mauro,
I'd prefer to have a single procedure that could correct both XANES and EXAFS, and took into account sample thickness, incident angle and the range of exit angles as separate parameters. It seems that enough people have published partial solutions that it could be done 'right'. I was hoping someone would come up with something more definitive. It seems like a good project for a student.
Matt, you are right, it's a good project for a student, but my thesis is already focused on another topic. :( On the other hand, I have tried (in the order) - Peter Pfalzer "SelfAbs" (java code) - Corwin Booth "sabcor" (fortran code) - Sam Webb "SixPack" (official distribution) Noone of these codes worked fine for me. I suppose for two reasons: 1. sample = multilayer 2. experimental setup = standing wave field induced I say this because I have top-down approached the selfabsorption problem, that is simultating the selfaborption starting from an ideal sample.
For what it's worth, if you're using a Ge detector, the deadtime corrections might also be important.
Yes, this is a further step.
Thanks a lot,
Mauro
