We consider two different resonant X-ray emission spectra for Ce compounds: Ce 3d to 2p X-ray emission (denoted by 3d-RXES) and valence to 2p X-ray emission (v-RXES), both of which follow the Ce 2p to 5d resonant excitation. We propose that the comparison of the 3d- and v-RXES spectra is a new powerful method of directly detecting the core-hole effect in the final state of Ce L 3 X-ray absorption spectra (XAS). We applied this method to recent experimental RXES spectra for CeO 2 and CeFe 2, and showed unambiguously that the core-hole effect should be essential in the XAS of both materials. This result is confirmed by theoretical calculations, which reproduce well the experimental RXES and XAS spectra. We conclude that the ground state of CeO 2 is in the mixed state of 4f0 and [Formula: see text] configurations, where [Formula: see text] is a ligand hole, instead of a pure 4f0 configuration which was proposed recently by first-principles energy band calculations. Also, we conclude that the double peaks observed in L 3 XAS of CeFe 2 are caused by the 4f0 and 4f1 configurations, which are mixed in the ground state but separated in energy by the large core-hole potential in the final state of XAS.

We examine the effect of core-hole lifetime on the spectral weight of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) in hole-doped cuprates. We calculate the spectral weight by using the exact diagonalization technique for a 4 × 4 doped Hubbard lattice and find that the spin-flip channel detecting single-magnon excitation is less sensitive to the core-hole lifetime while in the non-spin-flip channel the spectral weight is strongly dependent on the lifetime. In the latter, charge and two-magnon excitations predominately contribute to RIXS for short and long core-hole lifetimes, respectively. For a realistic value of the core-hole lifetime in cuprates, both the charge and two-magnon excitations are expected to contribute to the non-spin-flip channel in RIXS when the incident-photon energy is tuned to the main peak of X-ray absorption spectrum.

X-ray absorption spectra calculated within an effective one-electron approach have to be broadened to account for the finite lifetime of the core hole. For methods based on Green's function this can be achieved either by adding a small imaginary part to the energy or by convoluting the spectra on the real axis with a Lorentzian. By analyzing the FeK- andL2,3-edge spectra it is demonstrated that these procedures lead to identical results only for energies higher than a few core-level widths above the absorption edge. For energies close to the edge, spurious spectral features may appear if too much weight is put on broadeningviathe imaginary energy component. Special care should be taken for dichroic spectra at edges which comprise several exchange-split core levels, such as theL3-edge of 3dtransition metals.

Abstract A series of three N-(pyrrol-l-yl)salicylaldim ines 1-3 has been prepared an d characterized. Their metal chelate complexes with Cu, Ni and Co are described. The molecular structures of bis[N-(pyrrol-l-yl)salicylaldim inato]copper(lI) la, bis{N-[3-(pyrrol-l-yl)propyl]- salicylaldiminato}nickel(II) 2b and tris{N-[3-(pyrrol-l-yl)propyl]salicylaldiminato}cobalt(III) 2d were determined by X-ray structure analysis. The chelates with tetracoordinated copper and nickel show a square planar coordination with the characteristic trans configuration. The chelate with hexacoordinated cobalt has a meridional coordination sphere. The complexes have also been investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (X̲-ray A̲bsorption N̲ear E̲dge S̲tructure, XANES) at the K edges of the 3d metals. Analyzing the relative intensities of the Is → 3d prepeak and the K edges of the line shape, it was possible to distinguish between planar, tetrahedral and octahedral coordination of the chelates

The local environment of titanium in nanocrystalline sol-gel synthesized titania, cobaltiferous titania and silica–titania core–shell photocatalysts was investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Anatase reconstructively transforms to rutileviaa persistent amorphous phase that is retained, in part, up to 1273 K. In nanotitania, temperature-dependent trends in Ti order correlation observed by XAS parallel the development of amorphous content extracted from powder X-ray diffraction patterns, such that amorphicity shows a transient maximum at ∼873 K with the onset of rutile crystallization. Cobaltiferous and core–shell materials behaved similarly, but with anatase retained to 973 and 1273 K, respectively. In the former, cobalt redox reactions may stabilize anatase to higher temperatures by ready charge-balancing during the loss of hydroxyl and the formation of oxygen vacancies. In the core–shell architecture, higher Ti coordination and interatomic distance variance in the first- and second-nearest-neighbour shells are maintained to 1273 K by interaction of a substantially aperiodic TiO6network with the glassy silica substrate, which inhibits crystallization of rutile from the amorphous intermediate. Comparisons are also drawn with the commercial P25 catalyst. The overall transformation mechanism can be summarized as gel → non-stoichiometric anatase → amorphous titania → rutile. Smaller anatase crystals and a higher average Ti—Ti coordination environment in the core–shell structure may enhance photocatalytic activity directly, by creating larger specific surface areas and hosting reactive defects, or indirectly, by inhibiting exciton annihilation in aperiodic titania and delaying the crystallization of less photoactive rutile.

The MgB 2 system is studied by self consistent multiple-scattering calculations at the B K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). We find that the features in the B K-edge XANES are strongly affected by medium and long range order with large influence of the core hole potential suggesting that the band structure calculations are not enough to provide a quantitative interpretation of the spectral features. We have investigated evolution of density of states in the conduction band as a function of Al substitution in place of the Mg. The results are consistent with the fact that the Al substitution influences mainly the density of states in the B σ-band and hence suppresses the superconductivity.

XAFS (X-ray absorption fine-structure) spectra were measured near K-absorption edges of Ce (40.5 keV), Dy (53.8 keV), Ta (67.4 keV) and Pt (78.4 keV). The blunt K-edge jump due to the finite lifetime of the core hole was observed. This makes it difficult to extract EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine-structure) functions at low k values. Local structure parameters can be evaluated from the EXAFS spectra above K-absorption edges in the high-energy region as well as from those above L III-edges. It was found that the finite-lifetime effect of the core hole is effectively taken into the photoelectron mean-free-path term, as predicted theoretically.
