[Ifeffit] beamline for Al EXAFS

["Dr. Dariusz A. Zając"]

For Al:K edge is rather hard to find a dedicated beamline for XAS. Of 
course are few where it can be measured, like in Bessy, Berlin U41-PGM,
  or BL1A in UV-SOR, Okazaki, Japan, or BACH in Elettra, Trieste, 
Itally. I do not how is situation in America, sorry.
In this energy region you have to measure in fluorescence, or which is 
typical, in total electron yield (TEY). The sample, as your is, has to 
be be conductive, and have a good electrical contact with sample holder. 
Experimental geometry depends strongly on the vacuum chamber and 
available instruments. At this energy can be visible effect of surface 
contamination, especially for TEY, but must not. Sometimes LN2 cryostat 
is also available.
is something more to add?

At such low energies as 1.5 keV for Al-K, the sample needs to be in vacuum, transmission will not work and Ge detectors probably the same. Does anybody have experience with Al-EXAFS, and can share a little about setup and what other complications to expect?
