S. Hayakawa et al., Conversion electron yield X-ray absorption fine structure measurements under atmospheric conditions, SPECT ACT B, 54(1), 1999, pp. 235-239
The detection of a sample current under atmospheric conditions was applied
to XAFS measurements of a Ni foil and NiO powders, and the feasibility of t
he conversion electron yield (CEY) detection was examined. The obtained XAF
S spectra were compared with those obtained using the conventional transmis
sion method; it is concluded that fairly good statistics can be obtained us
ing the CEY method and that the obtained spectra show an identical structur
e to those obtained using the transmission method. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc
