Hello all, I am going to the APS on Wednesday and I will be doing EXAFS at MRCAT line ID-10 on Ge, Sb, and Te based samples. Unfortunately at that line, we don't have Te reference foil. Can anyone familiar with the APS help me to track down and borrow a Te reference?
Joseph, A quick peak at the Goodfellow website is rather pricey. It's also rather toxic. Those two things might limit your options. Don't you have a powdered sample of something simple, say GeTe? While it's always nice to have the pure metal, the most important thing is that you have a good alignment reference.
