X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a core technique of the DOE
synchrotron user facilities and attracts diverse scientific
communities. This 3-day course offered by NSLS-II experts will
introduce XAS data analysis for new and prospective users and provide
an opportunity to perform real experiments at NSLS-II XAS
beamlines. The first day will be devoted to fundamentals of XAS
analysis, data reduction and processing, and basics of XAS experiments
and instrumentation.

Participants will be trained hands-on on XAS data analysis of
increasing complexity. Modern XAS methods such as high-resolution
spectroscopy will also be introduced. On the third day, the
participants will participate in the experiments at XAS beamlines and
analyze the data they collect.

:EXAFS analysis II:

The problem with the FeS\ :sub:`2` example from the previous day is
that it is analysis of a crystalline material, thus it is obvious
how to approach the analysis problem starting with crystal data.
In these lectures, Bruce presented some thoughts about how to start
EXAFS analysis on more complex materials.
The FeS\ :sub:`2` example from the previous day might seem a bit
too simple. It involves analysis of a crystalline material, thus
the path through the analysis obviously starts with crystal data.
In these two lectures, some ideas are presented about how to
perform EXAFS analysis on more complex materials.

Data from BMM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. todo:: gather up standards + FeS2 + edited dossiers in a zip file
During the hands-on experiment at BMM, we measured the following
materials, all at the iron K edge:

#. `Wustite <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCstite>`__ : FeO,
measured in transmission
#. `Hematite <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite>`__: Fe\
:sub:`2`\ O\ :sub:`3`, measured in transmission
#. `Pyrite <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite>`__: FeS\ :sub:`2`,
measured in transmission
#. `Vesuvianite <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesuvianite>`__:
nominally Ca\ :sub:`10`\ (Mg, Fe)\ :sub:`2`\ Al\ :sub:`4`\ (SiO\
:sub:`4`\ )\ :sub:`5`\ (Si\ :sub:`2`\ O\ :sub:`7`\ )\ :sub:`2`\
(OH,F)\ :sub:`4`, measured in transmission and fluorescence
#. FeS\ :sub:`2` extracted from a battery and measured in fluorescence
(sample contributed by a workshop participant)
