X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an element-selective technique that provides electronic and structural information of materials and reveals the essential mechanisms of the reactions involved. However, the technique is typically conducted at synchrotrons and usually only probes one element at a time. In this paper, a simultaneous two-color XAS setup at a laboratory-scale synchrotron facility is proposed based on inverse Compton scattering (ICS) at the Munich Compact Light Source (MuCLS), which is based on inverse Compton scattering (ICS). The setup utilizes two silicon crystals in a Laue geometry. A proof-of-principle experiment is presented where both silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd) K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra were simultaneously measured. The simplicity of the setup facilitates its migration to other ICS facilities or maybe to other X-ray sources (e.g. a bending-magnet beamline). Such a setup has the potential to study reaction mechanisms and synergistic effects of chemical systems containing multiple elements of interest, such as a bimetallic catalyst system.

AbstractX-ray absorption spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy are complementary analytical techniques on energy and spatial resolution. These techniques are based on the same fundamental physical process of core excitation with either an incident photon or incident electron. In the proper experimental configuration the electron and photon inelastic scattering amplitudes are comparable and thus the x-ray and electron absorption edges look identical. We have applied these two complementary analytical techniques to investigate the electronic structure of C ion implanted U. Implantation of C+ ions into U238 has been shown to produce a physically and chemically modified surface layer that passivates the surface preventing further air oxidation and corrosion. Comparison of the resultant spectra reveal that transitions between the initial state and a series of final states yield numerous strong features at the absorption edge that can provide structural information and information on the local chemical environment, including the character of the U 5f state.

Selenium X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has found widespread use in investigations of Se-containing materials, geochemical processes, and biological active sites. In contrast to sulfur Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), which has been found to contain electronic and structural information complementary to S XAS, Se Kβ XES remains comparatively under-explored. Herein, we present the first Se Valence-to-Core (VtC) XES studies of reduced Se-containing compounds and FeSe dimers. Se VtC XES is found to be sensitive to changes in covalent Se bonding interactions (Se–Se/Se–C/Se–H bonding) while relatively insensitive to changes in Fe oxidation states as selenide bridges in FeSe dimers ([Fe2Se2]2+ vs [Fe2Se2]+). Contrastingly, Se Kβ HERFD XAS is demonstrated to be quite sensitive to changes in Fe-oxidation state, with Se Kβ HERFD XAS demonstrating experimental resolution equivalent to K𝛼 HERFD XAS. Additionally, computational studies reveal both Se VtC XES and XAS to be sensitive to selenium protonation in FeSe complexes.
