X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy is a powerful element-specific technique, providing electronic and structural information with atomic resolution. Electronic information is extracted from the near-edge XAFS (NEXAFS) spectrum, requiring high spectral resolution to resolve features that occur within a few eV near the absorption edge. Structural information is obtained from the extended XAFS (EXAFS), spreading over several hundred eV above the absorption edge. While XANES and EXAFS are both well-established methods, crucially lacking so far is the capability to connect electronic with structural information in real-time. Here, we present a decisive step towards such new methodology based on water-window-covering (280 eV to 540 eV) attosecond soft X-ray pulses that can simultaneously access electronic and lattice parameters via dispersive XAFS spectroscopy. We validate this approach with an identification of the orbital contributions to the density of states in graphite simultaneously with the four characteristic bonding distances. This work demonstrates the potential of dispersive attosecond XAFS as a powerful spectroscopic tool.
