Abstract

X-ray attenuation measurements near the absorption edge using radioactive source are very limited. We use the Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to measure the mass attenuation coefficient of Nb2O5 Niobium compound in the X-ray energy range 18.9132 - 19.6882 keV. The results represent the most extensive experimental data set for Nb2O5 and include absolute mass attenuation coefficients in the region of extended x-ray absorption fine structure. Comparison of  the  results  with  tabulations  of  calculated photo  electric  absorption  coefficients indicate  the differences between the calculated and observed values with the theoretical predictions.
