Synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) of thiol-stabilized Au∼98Ag∼46(SR)60 nanoclusters suggests that Au atoms preferred to occupy the metal core sites while the Ag atoms were mainly on the surface.

X Ray Absorption

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) is a powerful technique used to analyze a local electronic structure, local atomic structure, and structural dynamics. In this review, I present examples of XAFS that apply to the local structure and dynamics of functional materials: (1) structure phase transition in perovskite PbTiO3 and magnetic FeRhPd alloys; (2) nano-scaled fluctuations related to their magnetic properties in Ni–Mn alloys and Fe/Cr thin films; and (3) the Debye–Waller factors related to the chemical reactivity for catalysis in polyanions and ligand exchange reaction. This study shows that the local structure and dynamics are related to the characteristic function of the materials.

The Eu

ABSTRACTThe local structure around Er and Eu atoms introduced into GaN epilayers was studied by means of Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure above the appropriate rare-earth X-ray absorption edge. The samples were doped in situ during growth by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The formation of ErN clusters was found in samples with high average Er concentrations of 32±6% and 12.4±0.8%, estimated by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray analysis. When the average Er concentration is decreased to 6.0±0.2%, 1.6±0.2% and 0.17±0.02%, Er is found in localised clusters of ErGaN phase with high local Er content. Similar behaviour is observed for Eu-doped samples. For an average Eu concentration of 30.5±0.5% clusters of pure EuN occur. Decreasing the Eu concentration to 10.4±0.5% leads to EuGaN clusters with high local Eu content. However, for a sample with an Eu concentration of 14.2±0.5% clustering of Eu was not observed.

The local structure of motlen ZrCl4 in LiCl-KCl eutectic was investigated by using an X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) of the Zr K-absorption edge. The nearest Zr4+-Cl- distance and coordination number from the curve fitting analysis were (2.51±0.02) Å and 5.9±0.6, respectively. These suggest that a 6-fold coordination (ZrCl6)2- is predominant in the molten mixture.
