Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) analysis makes use of synchrotron radiaion to measure modulations in the absorption coefficient above core edges and hence to obtain information about local atomic environments. EXAFS arises when ejected core electrons are backscattered by surrounding atoms and interfere with the outgoing waves. Recently, interest has also been shown in using inelastic electron scattering1-4. Some advantages of Extended X-ray-edge Energy Loss Fine Structure (EXELFS) are: a) small probes formed by the analytical electron microscope give spectra from μm to nm sized areas, compared with mm diameter areas for the X-ray technique, b) EXELFS can be combined with other techniques such as electron diffraction or high resolution imaging, and c) EXELFS is sensitive to low Z elements with K edges from ˜200 eV to ˜ 3000 eV (B to Cl).

Recently, the applications area of analytical electron microscopy has been extended to include the study of Extended Energy Loss Fine Structure (EXELFS). Modulations past an ionization edge in the energy loss spectrum (EXELFS), contain atomic fine structure information similar to Extended X-ray Absorbtion Fine Structure (EXAFS). At low momentum transfer the main contribution to these modulations comes from interference effects between the outgoing excited inner shell electron waves and electron waves backscattered from the surrounding atoms. The ability to obtain atomic fine structure information (such as interatomic distances) combined with the spatial resolution of an electron microscope is unique and makes EXELFS an important microanalytical technique.
