title: Combining two structural techniques on the micrometer scale: micro-XAS and micro-Raman spectroscopy.
abstract: X-ray absorption and Raman spectroscopies are complementary in the sense that both give very precise information about the local structure of a sample, both are not restricted to crystalline materials, and in both cases the volumes of the material probed are similar. The X-ray technique has the advantage of being element- and orbital-selective, and sensitive to orientational effects owing to polarization selection rules. In many cases, however, its analysis can present some ambiguity. Combining the two techniques on a micrometer scale could therefore be a very powerful method structurally. In this paper the experimental set-up developed at the LUCIA beamline and its application to a natural mineral are described.
