Abstract. This essay sketches the development of X-ray Absorption Fine Spectroscopy (XAFS) ever since the second half of 20 th century. At that time, synchrotrons started competing with X-ray discharge tubes as the sources of the excitation able to show the pre-and near-edge structures (XANES) and extended oscillations (EXAFS) that characterize the X-ray absorption edge of solid matter. Actually, modern XAFS began after 1975, when the hard-X-ray synchrotron radiation derived from storage rings took over. Ever since, XAFS greatly contributed to both technical refinement and to theoretical development of Materials Science. Although a unified theory of X-ray fine absorption has not been reached yet, many XAFS advancements benefited of theoretical models and complex calculations made possible by the continuous growth of the computing power, while contributing to developing new or previously never used materials.

Synchrotron radiation is now a gigantic worldwide enterprise involving tens of thousands of researchers. Quite famous in this field are the landmark accomplishments of illuminated pioneers like Dave Shirley. Somewhat less known, however, are the historical roots of the field—in particular, how its theoretical foundations were established: this causes widespread misconceptions. An objective and thorough historical analysis of all the key players and events can place current research in context and reveal interesting aspects of synchrotron radiation that help a wide audience gain understanding of this fascinating multidisciplinary domain.

Fifty years since the first European synchrotron-radiation-derived XAFS spectrum (Frascati, 1963)

Abstract: The first absorption spectra recorded in Europe using synchrotron radiation as the X-ray source were the K-edge of Al and the L III -edge of Cu taken at Frascati electron synchrotron in May 1963 by the French-Italian group comprised of Y. Cauchois, C. Bonnelle and G. Missoni.
