AbstractExtended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique has been employed to investigate the local structures around luminescent centers in nanocrystals of Mn-doped ZnS and Tb-doped Y2O3. Size-dependent local structural changes around Mn luminescent centers have been found in Mn-doped nanocrystals of ZnS by using Mn K-edge EXAFS. Local structures around Tb investigated by Tb Li-edge EXAFS also show substantial differences between bulk and nanocrystal samples. This structural information is useful for understanding the novel optical properties of doped nanocrystals.

Thiolate-protected Ag nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit interesting physical and chemical properties which may lead to various sensing, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. Further, understanding structure–property relationships of Ag NPs is of great interest to optimize their application. Herein, we used TEM, UV–vis, and a series of synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy techniques to probe the local structure and chemical bonding properties of thiolate-stabilized Ag NPs. Compared with other Ag nanostructures prepared under slightly modified conditions, the Ag NPs were found to have pronounced structural changes, which led to immensely different optical properties. Notably, the NPs were also found to have similar surface structure to recently elucidated Ag nanoclusters prepared with different thiolates. These findings suggest that the NP structure and optical properties can be sensitively tailored by controlling the synthetic conditions. The multi-element, multi-core excitation approach (i.e., Ag K-, Ag L3-, and S K-edges) employed in the X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements was also demonstrated as an effective tool to uncover the NP structure from both the metal core and the ligand shell perspectives.

X Ray Absorption

The extended fine structure in the X-ray absorption coefficient is dominated by the interference of the photoelectron scattered by atoms in the immediate neighbourhood of the atom which absorbs the X-ray photon and thus can provide structural information about ordered or disordered systems. In this paper it is demonstrated that Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurements can be made on liquid systems at high temperatures. The technique is illustrated with results for As2Se3 in the liquid and amorphous states for temperatures between 100 and 773 K. A Fourier analysis of the EXAFS data reveals that a major structural rearrangement does not occur in the nearest neighbour shell when As2Se3 is melted. However, small structural changes do occur at the melting point which, within the limitations of the present data, suggest a slight increase in the nearest neighbour As–Se distance, a decrease in the number of nearest neighbours, and a decrease in the nearest neighbour disorder term σ12.

In the present study, the effect of wet mechanical alloying (MA) on the glass-forming ability (GFA) of Co43Fe20X5.5B31.5 (X = Ta, W) alloys was studied. The structural evolution during MA was investigated using high-energy X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and magnetic measurements. Pair distribution function and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy were used to characterize local atomic structure at various stages of MA. Besides structural changes, the magnetic properties of both compositions were investigated employing a vibrating sample magnetometer and thermomagnetic measurements. It was shown that using hexane as a process control agent during wet MA resulted in the formation of fully amorphous Co-Fe-Ta-B powder material at a shorter milling time (100 h) as compared to dry MA. It has also been shown that substituting Ta with W effectively suppresses GFA. After 100 h of MA of Co-Fe-W-B mixture, a nanocomposite material consisting of amorphous and nanocrystalline bcc-W phase was synthesized.

In this work nanoclusters formed in a Pt/Ni/C multi-trilayer by the ion-irradiated method of synthesis are characterized. In particular, an attempt to understand the role of interfaces in the synthesis is made. With this objective, ion-irradiation-induced structural changes in a Pt/Ni/C multi-trilayer using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (at the NiK-edge) in conjunction with the X-ray standing-wave technique are investigated. The XANES analysis identifies chemical binding at pristine Ni/C and Ni/Pt interfaces, in contrast with physical adsorption at the Pt/C interface. The chemical nature of the interfaces determines their relative stability with respect to irradiation and controls the extent of metallic diffusion. The most interesting structural change, upon irradiation, is the disruption of the Pt/C interface and subsequent migration of Pt atoms towards pre-diffused Ni atoms within the C layer, leading to the formation of Ni-centered Ni–Pt bimetallic nanoclusters (with Ni:Pt = 60:40). These clusters are highly disordered beyond their nearest neighbor and find wide-scale applications as, for example, magnetic devicesetc. The implications of these findings on the design goals are discussed.
