[Ifeffit] Ifeffit Digest, Vol 156, Issue 4

[Matthew Marcus]

I have an SDD and find very little strength in the escape peak or the Si Ka peak.  I have seen Si from the sample.  I can't speak to how well Si XAS works because my beamline doesn't go down that far.

One of them at energy /E/_/f/ = 1739 eV is due to the silicon fluorescent photons that have escaped far enough from the original site of interaction to be detected as a separate event. The other peak centered at energy /E/_/e/ = /E/_0 - /E/_/f/ , where /E/_0 is energy of the incident photon, is called an escape peak."

Just an hypothesis, but easy to check: presence or not of harmonic in your scattering.
