Dear Sir, I am planning to carryout the XANES measurements on Cd(1-x)Ca(x)O solid solution to determine the electronic state. Can you suggest me the reference materials for Ca(2+) K-edge and Cd(2+) L-edge for XANES studies. Thanking you in advance

Is there a subtlety to your problem that you are not explaining? CdO and CaO are the common forms of the oxides of cadmium and calcium and both are divalent.
