Dear Shelly, Robert, Matt,
thank you for your kind replies, I think I should give more
information about the measurement.
The sample is a sealed battery anode consisting of silver
particles that should undergo alloying with Lithium during
charging. This is done at constant temperature and applied
pressure. I repeated this experiment under different
conditions several times, and each time there is less noise
before a certain time during the charging process, after which
is persists even when the battery is at rest (not
charging/discharging). I0 also did not fluctuate much, and the
integration time for each point is indeed the same. Therefore
I think it is not instrumental, but rather something happening
in the sample. As you can see from the spectra, the silver
particles experience a strong decrease of uniform structure
when they lithiate. For me, this at least explains why the
noise in the post-edge increases, but can it also explain the
noise in the edge and pre-edge?
In any case, thank you very much for your answers!
Best,
Sebastian
