This lecture covers the principles and applications of Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, focusing on synchrotrons, X-ray free-electron lasers, and the analysis of the EXAFS signal. Topics include the immediate neighborhood around the absorbing atom, interference effects, sensitivity, and rules of thumb for interpreting the EXAFS signal quantitatively.
