AbstractWe present results from the first extended X-ray absorption fine-structure studies in a Ti/Zrbased quasicrystal. The icosahedral Ti53Zr27Ni20 phase and an icosahedral Ti45Zr38Ni17 phase that also contains 1.7 hydrogen atoms for each metal atom were investigated. Experiments performed above the Ti, Ni and Zr K absorption edges have allowed to identify different types of atomic subshells around the Ti, Ni and Zr atoms. Significant differences are observed between these two quasicrystalline alloys, suggesting preferential sites for the hydrogen atoms.

AbstractA pragmatic, easily applied theory of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure found on the high-energy side of absorption edges is developed. This simple model can be successfully applied to determinations of interatomic distances, and it accounts for differences in Kronig structure on different absorption edges in the same material. Quantitative agreement with experimental data is good.

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.

AbstractStrontium and Mg in calcite and aragonite are widely used as proxies of temperature in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. We use X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) to examine Sr and Mg substitution in calcite and aragonite. We have measured the K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of Mg and Sr-bearing calcite and aragonite, plus the carbonates: strontianite, hydromagnesite, magnesite, dolomite and a suite of calcites with differing amounts of Mg. The Sr substitutes ideally for Ca in aragonite but causes a small (2%) dilation of the site. Strontium substitutes for octahedral Ca in calcite but with a 6.5% dilation and distortion. Magnesium in the calcites studied provides a variable XANES indicating that the Mg structural state in calcite is variable. Refinement of EXAFS gives Mg–O bond distances of ∼2.12 Å, which are much smaller than the Ca–O bond distance of 2.35 Å but consistent with published amounts of relaxation of the calcite structure. The XANES and EXAFS are consistent with a model whereby some calcites contain nanodomains, e.g. of dolomite and/or huntite structures. The variability in the XANES can be explained by domains of different types and/or sizes. Substitution of Mg into aragonite has 9-fold coordination but relatively short bond distances (2.08 Å) demonstrating either: (1) substantial distortion of the site; or (2) that Mg is accommodated in nanodomains of an unknown phase. Variability in the Mg structural state in calcite may be linked to the variety of temperature dependences observed, e.g. in foraminiferal calcite
