Welcome to the polymer NEXAFS spectroscopy web site.
This web page and associated web pages provide a set of calibrated NEXAFS spectra of some common polymers. Details about the spectra and energy calibration can be found in O. Dhez, S. Urquhart, H. Ade. J. Electron. Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. 128 (2003) 85–96. The spectra are made available in tabulated format for public use. If any of these spectra are used in publications, O. Dhez, S. Urquhart, H. Ade. J. Electron. Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. 128 (2003) 85–96 should be cited as a source. Related spectra can be found at Stony Brook site.
