Abstract:Abstract. X-Ray absorption spectroscopy is a powerful method of determining local structures in condensed matter. This article reviews the applications of this technique in the study of solid state ionic materials. It begins with an outline of the principles and the experimental procedures followed by a brief overview of some of the recent developments. The bulk of the article is focused on a discussion of examples chosen to emphasise the kinds of problem that can be resolved using the technique. These include… Show more
“…In particular, the grain-boundary structure appears to be essentially similar to that of coarse-grained materials. 280 Reports devoted to the electrical properties of nanocrystalline ceramics have emerged only recently. Puin et al 281 have studied the conductivity of nanocrystalline CaF 2 ceramics, which is distinctly larger than in coarse-grained materials.…”
