Abstract

The X-ray absorption near-edge structures (XANES) at the Ti K-edge of Pb1-xLaxTiO3 ferroelectric ceramic compounds are analyzed as a function of the sample composition. The calculated XANES spectra using the FEFF8.2 code are compared with experimental data. Experimental results show that the local distortion around Ti atoms has different composition dependence as compared to the crystallographic structure. Moreover, this distortion is also observed in samples presenting a crystallographically cubic phase. The agreement between experimental XANES spectra and theoretical ones deduced from the XRD results was good only for undoped and weakly doped samples. The use of structural models based on the XRD technique for samples containing higher amounts of lanthanum is not appropriate to describe correctly the local order around Ti atoms in this system.

Ab initio x-ray absorption study of copper K-edge XANES spectra in Cu(II) compounds

Journal Article Chaboy, Jesus ; Munoz-Paez, Adela ; Carrera, Flora ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

This work reports a theoretical study of the x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra at the Cu K edge in several Cu(II) complexes with N-coordinating ligands showing a square-planar arrangement around metal cation. It is shown that single-channel multiple-scattering calculations are not able to reproduce the experimental spectra. The comparison between experimental data and ab initio computations indicates the need of including the contribution of two electronic configurations (3d{sup 9} and 3d{sup 10}L) to account for a proper description of the final state during the photoabsorption process. The best agreement between theory and experiment is obtained by considering a relative weightmore »« less

Mg K-Edge XANES Spectra in Crystals and Oxide Glasses: Experimental vs. Theoretical Approaches

Journal Article Trcera, Nicolas ; Rossano, Stephanie ; Cabaret, Delphine ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Experimental Mg K-edge XANES spectra were obtained for crystals and synthetic glasses. To interpret the experiments, two different ab initio XANES calculation methods were employed. The first one is based on multiple-scattering calculations and muffin-tin potentials (FEFF package). The second uses a plane-wave basis set, norm-conserving pseudo-potentials, periodic boundary conditions. The resulting calculations for reference models with three different Mg coordinations are used to derive the best way to analyze the experimental XANES spectra for the glasses.

Determination of Ti coordination from pre-edge peaks in Ti K-edge XANES

Journal Article Jiang, N. ; Su, D. ; Spence, J. C. H. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The pre-edge peaks of Ti K-edge XANES have been widely used in determining Ti coordination in amorphous materials and in crystals despite the fact that coordination is not the only factor that the pre-edge peaks depend on. This work thoroughly examines the dependence of the shape of Ti K pre-edge peaks on various geometrical parameters (coordination, symmetry, Ti-O bond length and bond angle) using distorted rutile TiO{sub 2} as models. We conclude that the greatest impact on the pre-edge peaks arises from a reduction in Ti-O bond length, although other parameters such as symmetry and coordination all have some effect.

Nitrogen K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of purine-containing nucleotides in aqueous solution

Journal Article Shimada, Hiroyuki ; Fukao, Taishi ; Minami, Hirotake ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The N K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of the purine-containing nucleotide, guanosine 5{sup ′}-monophosphate (GMP), in aqueous solution are measured under various pH conditions. The spectra show characteristic peaks, which originate from resonant excitations of N 1s electrons to π* orbitals inside the guanine moiety of GMP. The relative intensities of these peaks depend on the pH values of the solution. The pH dependence is explained by the core-level shift of N atoms at specific sites caused by protonation and deprotonation. The experimental spectra are compared with theoretical spectra calculated by using density functional theory for GMPmore »« less

Ab initio and experimental pre-edge investigations of the Mn K-edge XANES in oxide-type materials

Journal Article Farges, Francois - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Mn K edge ab initio FEFF8.2 calculations of the pre-edge features of the x-ray-absorption near-edge structure (XANES) region were undertaken for a series of Mn-bearing oxide-type compounds. The aim of the study is to provide a reliable method for determining quantitative and accurate redox and symmetry information for manganese. In agreement with multiplet calculations by Glatzel and co-workers, FEFF8.2 predicts a doublet and a triplet for Mn(II) and Mn(III) in octahedral symmetry, respectively, in agreement with high-resolution XANES experiments. Site distortion increases notably the contribution from dipolar transitions and, consequently, the pre-edge feature integrated area. An even more intense pre-edgemore »« less
