Soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra in the CK region of typical solid carbon compounds (HOPG, carbon nanotube, diamond, fullerene, polyethylene, -terphenyl, anthracene) are demonstrated. Take-off/incident-angle dependent X-ray spectra of HOPG are also shown to utilize for the structural analysis of anistropic crystals. Spectral analysis of these compounds using discrete variational (DV)-X molecular orbital calclations is also demonstrated.
