ABSTRACTLocal structure around the constituent atoms in the compound system Y1-xPrxBa2CU3O7-y has been investigated by means of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) techniques. By comparing the local structure in the compound x=1 with its counterpart x=0, the XAFS results provide a direct evidence that Pr has replaced Y in the material. The nearest-neighbor structure in the CuO2 planes seems to remain intact as × varies from 0 to 1, indicating that substitution of Pr for Y does not disturb the local distribution of holes in the CuO2 planes. We suggest that local disorder and distortions in the second-neighbor bonding configuration could be responsible for suppression of superconductivity with increasing Pr content in the system.

ABSTRACTDiffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS) is the fine structure in the intensity of an X-ray diffraction peak in the vicinity of an absorption edge. DAFS is measured by monitoring the intensity of a diffraction peak as a function of the incident X-ray energy as it is scanned through an absorption edge. It combines the short range structural sensitivity of X-ray absorption spectroscopy with the long range periodicity of X-ray diffraction, and can provide structural information which is not available from these techniques alone, or in combination. We present a methodology which allows extraction of a specific X-ray absorbance spectrum from the DAFS spectrum, and illustrate it for KMnO4. We also demonstrate the ability of DAFS to separate the contributions to the X-ray absorption spectrum of the tetrahedral and octahedral cobalt sites in the spinel Co3O4.
