Preface

This book contains 37 subjects and topics in 5 chapters based on recent developments in the XAFS approach to science and technology, describing the theories, calculation methods, computer programs, advanced methodologies and techniques, experiments, and applications to catalysts, nanoparticles, and surfaces. The book details advanced XAFS techniques and their applications, which enable highquality research in various areas such as physics, chemistry, materials science, bioscience, engineering, energy science, environmental science, geoscience, metallurgy, and mineralogy. Fundamental characterization of catalysts, nanomaterials, and surfaces is an essential and important area of academic and industrial material development and important to addressing many of today’s big global challenges. The XAFS science and technology has significantly progressed in the past 50 years in association with developments of synchrotron radiation sources and storage rings with lower beam emittance and hig
