Cu, Fe, and S K- and L-edge XANES spectra of CuFeS2: Localization and interpretation of pre-peak states
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pre-peak in the x-ray-absorption near-edge structure ~XANES! of CuFeS2 is studied by exploring the associated photoelectron probability density as well as by investigating the cluster size effect. All significant features of the Cu, Fe, and S K-edge experimental spectra and of the S L2,3-edge spectrum are successfully reproduced by the real-space multiple-scattering ~RSMS! calculations with self-consistent scattering potentials and by full-potential band-structure calculations employing all-electron pseudopotentials. Pre-peak-forming photoelectron states are confined to all Fe sites of the finite cluster involved in the RSMS calculation, not just to that Fe which is the nearest one to the photoabsorbing atom. Different interpretations of the pre-peak can be unified within a single scheme of the photoelectron probability density. In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of XANES features, both the photoelectron probability density and the cluster size effect ought to be analyzed.

On the origin of the differences in the Cu K-edge XANES of isostructural and isoelectronic compounds.
Cu K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of trigonal (3R) CuScO(2) and CuLaO(2) and of hexagonal (2H) CuScO(2) were investigated experimentally and theoretically, in order to study differences between spectra of isostructural and isoelectronic compounds. Significant differences were found in the Cu K-edge XANES of 3R CuScO(2) and 3R CuLaO(2); these differences can be under...
متن کاملSite-Specified Magnetic States in Ferrites Probed by Magnetic Circular X-Ray Dichroism
To study magnetic states in ferrimagnetic Fe-oxides, we have measured magnetic circular x-ray dichroism at K-edge of Id-transition metal. The observed dichroic signals are separately assigned to the contribution come from 3d-cation in tetrahedral or octahedral sites. We discuss the magnetic states of 3d-metal ion in terms of local enviroment. Magnetic circular x-ray dichroism (MCXD is a powerfu...
متن کاملPre-edge features of Ti K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure for the local structure of sol-gel titanium oxides.
Titanium K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy is used to examine the local Ti environments in the sol, gel, and xerogels of titanium oxide prepared by a sol-gel method. The xerogels were prepared by heat treatment at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 degrees C (denoted xero-200, xero-300, xero-400, xero-500, and xero-600), and the xerogels were doped with Fe(II), Ni(II), a...

Information about the electronic structures of natural ZnS:Fe (zinc-blende) and CuFeS2 (chalcopyrite) has been obtained from K-edge absorption structure of Zn, Fe, Cu and S. The features in the edges of the different atoms have been used to place these spectra on a common energy scale. The inverse distance-energy relationship is consistent with the positions of shape resonances in the metal cat...

X-ray absorption near edge structure ~XANES! spectra of crystalline ~c!and amorphous (a)-Si–C–N thin films were measured at the C, N, and Si K edge using the fluorescence and sample drain current modes. A sharp peak similar to the C 1s core exciton in chemical vapor deposition diamond is observed, which can be assigned to the transition from the C 1s to sp hybridized states in c-Si–C–N. The C K...
