XAFS studies of nickel-doped lead telluride
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of impurities and defect states in lead telluride-based semiconductors is of crucial importance for their practical applications. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) techniques are capable to address some of the key issues regarding impurities position, their valent state, as well as the local structural changes of the host lattice in the immediate surrounding of the impurity atoms. In this paper we present the results of the Ni K-absorption edge XAFS studies of Ni-doped PbTe at different temperatures. Analysis of near edge and extended XAFS regions of the measured spectra provided information about exact local environment and lattice ordering around Ni atoms. & 2009 Elsevier B.V.

To Investigate the role played by nickel co-ions in contributing to the stability of arsenic, fluorescence XAFS measurements at both arsenic K-edge and nickel K-edge, respectively, on amorphous arsenical nickel hydroxide, crystalline arsenical nickel hydroxide, and annabergite reference compounds have been carried out. The XAFS results indicate that the arsenic-bearing nickel hydroxides have a ...

Calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. Metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. The average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...
