Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure in Photoelectron Emission

Abstract
We report the first definitive measurements of extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) made by monitoring the direct photoelectron emission as a function of photon energy. We have measured EXAFS associated with the Mn 3p and F 2s core levels in evaporated films of MnF2 and found good agreement with bulk transmission EXAFS associated with the Mn 1s level. Photoelectron EXAFS makes possible surface-sensitive structural determinations using vacuum uv radiation on a virtually unlimited range of systems.
