May 1999 issue
XAFS X
Chicago, USA, 10-14 August 1998
Cover illustration: The front cover of the issue is based on the historical account of XAFS given in the article by Lytle, pages 123-134. It traces the development of XAFS from the first observation of an absorption edge by Maurice de Broglie.

A personal histroy of the development of EXAFS summarizing the early experiments and theory. The author's work from 1960–1974 is emphasized.
Analysis of AXAFS (atomic X-ray absorption fine structure) spectra and Pt–H shape resonances of supported platinum catalysts show an influence of the support on the electronic properties of the platinum particles. An increase of the alkalinity of the support leads to a decrease of the ionization potential of the platinum metal particles and a weaker Pt–H bond strength.
