20. This principle is known as the phase transferability. However, using the phase shift from the standard sample should be avoided if the primary purpose of XAFS analysis is to reconstruct genuine PDF or to trace driving forces for the local distortions.

23. It is a limitation of the conventional XAFS analysis that it provides the pair distribution function but not a 3D picture of the cluster about the absorption site.
