EXAFS Resources and Spectra Databases

This page gathers a selection of EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) databases and reference resources. These links provide access to experimental spectra, theoretical data, and reference materials for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies. They include both academic repositories and open-access initiatives supporting data sharing within the XAS community.

Reference

• ReferenceSpectra_2023 from EXAFS materials — Metal reference for XAS spectra.

  online tools

  • XrayDB — Python-based X-ray absorption database (edge energies, scattering factors, etc.).
  • Atomic Scattering Factors (UW) — Periodic table view for atomic scattering data.

  Talks and tutorial

  • Talks from Bruce Ravel
  • YouTube channel Matthew Newville
  • YouTube channel Global XAS Journal Club
