Abstract :
The X-ray absorption coefficient of niobium in the energy range 18.5-19.7 keV around the k-edge is measured using scanning EXAFS synchrotron radiation source. The discrepancies between the measured absorption coefficients and alternative theoretical predictions are discussed.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Absorption coeffiecient,Synchrotron Radiation, EXAFS.
