Title: X-ray emission spectroscopy: an effective route to extract site occupation of cations

Journal Article · · Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/C8CP04628J · OSTI ID:1471782

Cation site occupation is an important determinant of materials properties, especially in a complex system with multiple cations such as in ternary spinels. In this work, we show that XES provides not only the site occupation information as EXAFS, but also additional information on the oxidation states of the cations at each site. Additionally, we show that XES is a superior and a far more accurate method than EXAFS.
