Abstract

Through numerical simulation of inverse problem computation, our new method of EXAFS analysis was tested for a simple structure of copper metal. For a simulation test, we constructed a structural model with all possible paths of single and multiple scattering within 6 A. Typically, the first-shell PDF (pair distribution function) is computed according to an algebraic equation describing the temperature dependence of specific anharmonic distribution. Through the MEPP (matched EXAFS PDF projection) method - combing iterative regularization and matched correction of Fourier filtering distortion, it is shown that the original function of anharmonic PDF is iteratively solved from the initial proximity model, even approximated in terms of non-realistic sub-shell mixture of anharmonic distribution feature. To remove the problem of extraneous pattern at intermediate PDF solution, we also tested a proper pattern fit on the anharmonic curve formula, resulting in significantly suitable convergence to the true PDF solution. Our simulation results indicate that the projection to true PDF solution is only reachable when the perfect background correction is selected. Our precision EXAFS analysis performance requires manipulating the apparent correlation between the first and second shells using a typical numerical process of first-shell matching Fourier filtering.

Self-consistent EXAFS PDF Projection Method by Matched Correction of Fourier Filter Signal Distortion

Lee, Jay Min ; Yang, Dong-Seok - AIP Conference Proceedings

Inverse problem solving computation was performed for solving PDF (pair distribution function) from simulated data EXAFS based on data FEFF. For a realistic comparison with experimental data, we chose a model of the first sub-shell Mn-0 pair showing the Jahn Teller distortion in crystalline LaMnO3. To restore the Fourier filtering signal distortion, involved in the first sub-shell information isolated from higher shell contents, relevant distortion matching function was computed initially from the proximity model, and iteratively from the prior-guess during consecutive regularization computation. Adaptive computation of EXAFS background correction is an issue of algorithm development, but our preliminary test wasmore »« less

Strong correlation of atomic thermal motion in the first coordination shell of a Cu-Zr metallic glass

Zhang, Y. ; Mattern, N. ; Eckert, J. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We demonstrate a strong correlation of atomic thermal motions in the first coordination shell of Cu{sub 50}Zr{sub 50} metallic glass using molecular dynamics simulations, which explains directly the small thermal expansion coefficient calculated by the first maxima of pair correlation functions. The vibrational anisotropy in the glass is found to be even higher than in crystalline copper. The parallel-perpendicular anisotropy gradually decreases upon heating. The anisotropy in Zr-Zr is the strongest bonds among all the interatomic bonds, which is also very stable near the glass transition at 700 K. Structurally, the anisotropy can be correlated to Cu-centered (0 2 8more » 1) clusters.« less

Orbital-optimized opposite-spin scaled second order correlation: An economical method to improve the description of open-shell molecules

Lochan, Rohini C. ; Head-Gordon, Martin - Journal of Chemical Physics

Coupled cluster methods based on Brueckner orbitals are well-known to resolve the problems of symmetry-breaking and spin-contamination that are often associated with Hartree-Fock orbitals. However their computational cost is large enough to prevent application to large molecules. Here they present a simple approximation where the orbitals are optimized with the mean-field energy plus a correlation energy taken as the opposite-spin component of the second order many-body correlation energy, scaled by an empirically chosen parameter (recommended as 1.2 for general applications). This optimized 2nd order opposite spin (abbreviated as O2) method requires fourth order computation on each orbital iteration. O2 ismore »« less

Correlation between thiophene hydrodesulfurization activity and the number of first sulfur neighbors as determined by EXAFS in sulfided CoMo/. gamma. -Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ samples

Boudart, M. ; Arrieta, J.S. ; Betta, R.D. - J. Am. Chem. Soc.; (United States)

Two sets of samples were prepared. The first series involved wetness impregnation of AL/sub 2/O/sub 3/ powder with ammonium heptamolybdate solution, resulting in 7.7% Mo loading after drying. Subsequent impregnations with varying concentrations of Co(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ solutions produced a series with varying Co but Ca constant Mo level. The second series was prepared by bulk impregnation of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ pellets, using the same impregnating substances. The samples were sulfided and reduced in 2% H/sub 2/S/H/sub 2/ for various periods of time at 500-500 K. The catalysts were then tested for thiophene hydrodesulfurization (HDS) in a fixed bed reactormore »« less

Local structure of La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3} determined from EXAFS and neutron PDF studies.

Sundaram, N. ; Jiang, Y. ; Anderson, I. E. ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.

The combined local structure techniques, extended x-ray absorption fine structure and neutron pair distribution function analysis, have been used for temperatures 4 {le} T {le} 330 K to rule out a large Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion of the Co-O bond in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3} for a significant fraction of Co sites (x {le} 0.35), indicating few, if any, JT-active, singly occupied e{sub g} Co sites exist.
