The Fe-O distances (R 1 ) and the number of nearest oxygen atoms (N 1 ), which coordinate Fe in Fe(II) and Fe(III) containing silicate glasses are determined by the method based on the Fourier-transform analysis of XANES performed for the short k-range and the subsequent fit of the extracted first shell's contribution. The scattering amplitudes for Fe-O pair, used for the fit, are calculated by the HF MT-potential with the neutral electronic configurations of atoms. The validity of this model for the different redox states of Fe in glasses and the accuracy of the determined R 1 and N 1 are analyzed applying the method to the Fe K-XANES of the references -Fe(II) and Fe(III) aqueous sulfate solutions. The modeling of the contribution of the Fe nearest oxygens to the Fe K-XANES of Fe(II)-and Fe(III)rich silicate glasses, as well as in the series of glasses with the mixture of Fe(II) and Fe(III) states, performed through a single-shell fit and a subsequent two-shell fit, provides structural parameters for the oxygen-polyhedron around the ionized Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ -atoms and gives access to the estimates for the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ratio changes among all samples studied.
Local structural distortions in Indium Arsenide at 11 GPa are studied applying the Fourier-transform analysis to As K-edge XAFS restricted to a short exploitable energy range of ~ 250 eV above the edge, due to the Bragg reflections from the diamond anvils. The best model for the distribution of In-atoms around As is obtained by combining available XRD data with a fitting procedure of the XAFS data, where alternative models for As coordination have been tested. InAs at 0.4 GPa was used as reference compound to minimize the number of variable parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
