Two consecutive XANES spectra on a GeO2 sample and related difference (multiplied by a factor of 100) collected at the Ge K-edge with Si(111) crystals. Data acquisition time was 3 s per point and the energy step on the edge was 0.5 eV. The choice of this compound comes from the coupling of two facts: a limited core-hole width (1.96 eV; Krause & Oliver, 1979) and a relatively small Bragg angle (10°) that result in a steep edge ideal for energy stability testing (the local derivative D = on a normalized Δμ = 1 spectrum is about 300 degree−1). |
