Photosynthetic water oxidation and O2 formation are catalyzed by a Mn4Ca complex bound
to the proteins of photosystem II (PSII). The catalytic site, including the inorganic …

The general theoretical framework underlying the GNXAS multiple-scattering (MS) data-
analysis method for x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is presented. The main …

The practical and theoretical aspects of the GNXAS method for multiple-scattering extended
x-ray-absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data analysis are treated in a comprehensive …

In the last couple of decades, high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices based
on semiconductor heterostructures have been required to obtain increasingly strict and well …

In this, the first part of a two-part study of the interaction of soft X-rays with silicon, motivated
by the calibration requirements of CCD imaging spectrometers in astronomy, we describe a …

A detailed experimental investigation of the short-range structural properties in condensed
phases of germanium is presented. X-ray-absorption measurements at the Ge K edge have …

The aim of this review is to show how the challenging problem of understanding the physico-
chemical basis of protein misfolding and aggregation which are at the origin of plaque …

A new method for analyzing X-ray absorption spectra using multiple-scattering theory is
presented. The basic principles and some applications are briefly discussed focusing the …

Nanostructured transition metal oxides, employed as anode materials for lithium-ion
batteries, exhibit a higher capacity than the theoretical capacity based on the conversion …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Zr K-edge is an important technique for probing the
