Submittal form for XAFS "Raw" Data This form is optional, but encouraged. We mainly hope that the items mentioned below are included in the data description of the data you upload. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------ General Guidelines: Data deposited here should include the least amount of processing necessary: No deglitching, smoothing, etc. For measurements requiring a large number of repeated scans, merging the data into five sub-sums is desirable. We encourage you to also include a scan corresponding to a "blank" sample; if you are contributing non-merged data, we encourage you to deposit the I0 channel data as well. Instructions: Fill out the fields below, adding the appropriate information in new lines between the # fields (and leaving any line with a leading # and these help lines alone!). You may use as many "interstitial" lines as necessary or leave some blank if not applicable. The level of detail should be sufficient to reproduce the measurement. Remember to carefully specify any and all keywords you would like associated with this data set. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #1a: X-ray Edge (atom, edge) (examples: Fe,K or Pt,L3): #1b: Description of Sample (including chemical name, if relevant): #1c: Sample preparation and characterization (particle size, # checks for uniformity and phase purity, etc.): #1d: Other conditions for sample measurement (temperature, pH, etc.) #1e: Sample thickness and concentration: both total Mu*x and edge step: #1f: Elements in first shell (if relevant and known): #2a: Type of measurement (transmission, grazing-incidence fluorescence, # total electron yield, etc.) #2b: Where the sample was measured (X-ray source and experimental station): #2c: Electron beam current and energy: #2d: Type of monochromator, especially crystal type and cut: #2e: Details of harmonic rejection system (mirror, detuning, etc): #2f: Type of detectors used (If ion chambers, chamber length and fill gases; # if other, energy resolution, dead time, harmonic sensitivity, of # solid-state detector, voltage and polarity of total-yield detector, # etc.): #2g: Energy resolution and calibration, including methods of estimation: #2h: Other relevant information about measurement (angle of incidence for # grazing-incidence fluorescence, comments about beam stability, etc.): #3: Other comments: #4 : Keywords for cross-referencing (follow guidelines of Science Abstracts): #5a: Contributor's Name, Address, Phone, E-Mail: #5b: Journal Reference, if published: #6a: Number of columns of data: #6b: Sequential description of column contents with units. Separate # column descriptions with exclamation point (!) character. Ensure # descriptions are unambiguous (Example, for two scans of standard # transmission data with a metal foil internal calibrant: # Energy (eV) Scans 1 & 2 ! I0 Scan 1 (counts) ! IT Scan 1 ! # IR Scan 1 (metal foil between IT and IR) (counts) ! I0 Scan 2 ! # IT Scan 2 ! IR Scan 2 #6c: Number of data points in a column: #6d: Data. Largely free format with the following guidelines. Separate # columns with one or more space characters or a single comma. Do # not exceed 80 characters of width on a given line. If there are # more columns than will fit, add the addtional columns to the end # of the data set (repeating until all columns included). Separate # the added columns from the data above with one or more blank lines. # For example, a data set with 3 points and 12 columns: # 8980.00 943857 72057 47383 82934 98775 89080 39275 93755 48954 # 8981.00 230485 85693 93474 76587 85774 74882 90578 47563 84672 # 8982.00 58333 38745 55773 56823 23734 6956 3688 28464 58337 # # 47323 587990 # 44574 789774 # 63462 609384 # Please FTP this to ixs.iit.edu (216.47.138.126) and give the new # file a reasonably descriptive file name. # Thank you!
