Abstrakt: The ability to perform X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the 300-1500 eV energy range allows measurements to be made on transition metal compounds. This paper describes a detector and the technique used to perform fluorescent measurements on such materials. A variety of test sample results are shown to illustrate the low energy and energy-resolving capabilities of the detector (based on gas microstrip technology). Two possible applications are also demonstrated. The first shows how the detector can be used to gather X-ray absorption spectra for the L edges of transition metals and K edges of light elements (C, O and N). The other shows how the magnetic immunity of the detector can be exploited to study the magnetic properties of materials.
