Abstract
Structural and chemical information about the local atomic environment in a specimen can be obtained by analysing the EXELFS-modulations
occurring beyond energy loss ionization edges. Using spectra recorded from a thin NiO sample, this paper reviews the problems
and possibilities associated with distance and intensity analysis in EXELFS. Knowing a priori the structure of the sample, one can determine unknown parameters involved in the analysis of the data such as an average
value of the inelastic mean free path for the ejected electrons, a linear approximation for the
k-dependence of the oxygen
, oxygen-oxygen pair
, and nickel backscattering
, phase shifts.
