While I am agnostic on the issue of nomenclature of the effect in question, far be it from me to deny Matthew (or anyone else) his right to a quality rant. Well done! That said, this: On 04/03/2016 10:15 PM, Matthew Marcus wrote: I might also note that although many elaborate schemes have

Yup. In fact, self absorption, in the correct sense, can help reduce "self-absorption" in the misnomer sense! That's how the grazing-exit method works. I might also note that although many elaborate schemes have been proposed for correcting for the effect, they all require knowing things

It shouldn't be called 'self-absorption'. That's a misnomer, which seems to have come from a 1992 paper (Troger, et. al."Full correction of the self-absorption in soft-fluorescence extended x-ray-absorption fine structure", PRB 46,3283 (1992). The effect was described and analyzed in a 1982

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your help, it's really appreciated. I was trying to keep it simple but it seems I'm just messing around. What I am trying to do is to perform a new developed self-absorption correction using collected fluorescence absorption coefficient data on a CuSO4 (pentahydrate) capillar
