Tender X-ray Near-Edge Absorption Fine Structure (TX-NEXAFS, 1.75~6 keV)
X-ray near-edge absorption spectroscopy can be used to detect the electronic configuration of specific atoms in materials and learn the crystallographic symmetry of the atoms' positions. The near-edge structure of the energy spectrum will change due to the symmetry, oxidation number of the central atom, and the surrounding bonded atoms.
