Visualization of four-dimensional X-ray absorption fine structure data using a virtual reality system by Haruo Igarashi, Daiki Kido, Yutaka Ishii, Yasuhiro Niwa, Atsushi Okamoto, Masao Kimura

“…In this study, we addressed this challenge by developing a new approach and introducing a device named `4D-XASView', specifically designed for visualizing X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) data in 4D (comprising 3D space and energy), through a multi-projection system, within the virtual reality (VR) environment. As a test case for the new system, X-ray spectromicroscopy measurements were conducted on a specimen prepared from serpentinized harzburgite sourced from the upper mantle section of the Oman ophiolite. …”
