(a) Deconvolution of the XANES spectrum of UO2 reference compound into an edge step modelled by an arctangent function and pseudo-Voigt function to model the multiple-scattering component; (b) UO2 and LaUO4 XANES spectra and their difference spectrum. XRF maps at two energies (E1: 17170 eV; E2: 17179 eV) corresponding to maximum contrast between the XANES spectra were collected for chemical state map construction. |
