4.3 g/cm3 is an assumed density for the battery example. Enter the density of your sample for planning.

Tables cover H to Cf (Z=1 to 98Z = 1\text{ to }98) from 100 eV to 100 keV.

MnO6​ is one Mn and its six oxygen neighbors, cut from a solid. Real crystals distort; this shape stays fixed.

Sample assumptions

Formula and density set the tabulated atomic background. Structure, bonding and oxidation can change the real near-edge spectrum.

The Lix​MnO2​ example assumes Mn carries all the charge. Oxygen redox, defects and phase changes are outside this model.

The anchor papers simulate the oxygen K-edge of an O-centred Li4​Mn2​O cluster from Li2​MnO3​. The MnO6​ sketch and Mn teaching curve here are separate examples. Read the research references.
