Abstract
An empirical comparison of high resolution M4,5 X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), based upon High Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detection (HERFD), with Bremsstrahlung Isochromat Spectroscopy (BIS), the high energy variant of Inverse Photoelectron Spectroscopy (IPES), of various actinide materials is presented here. It will be shown that XAS-HERFD is essentially the j-specific version of BIS, providing a direct measure of the separate 5f5/2 and 5f7/2 Unoccupied Density of States (UDOS).
