Popis: We present extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data at the La L2 edge in LaOCl that were recorded on the Lβ1 fluorescence line with an analyzer energy bandwidth of 1.3eV. We show that by taking advantage of the high-energy-resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) it is possible to extend the energy range for L2 EXAFS analysis beyond the L1 edge if the sample is optically thin. The arguments presented here generally apply to fluorescence-detected absorption spectroscopy if the fluorescence lines are sufficiently separated in energy. Calculations using an atomic multiplet model show that intensity due to 2p4d multiple-electron excitations is reduced in HERFD spectra. The technique has the potential of considerably improving EXAFS analyses at low energies (
