A structural study of praseodymium gallate glasses by combined neutron diffraction, molecular dynamics and EXAFS techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutron diffraction and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) studies have been carried out on a range of praseodymium gallate glasses (Pr2O3-Ga2O3) prepared by aerodynamic levitation and laser heating. The short and intermediate range ordering around the rare-earth have been obtained by a multi-technique method. The results show that simple molecular dynamics simulations give a good representation of the coordination structure around the rare-earth in these glasses.

Local order around rare earth ions during the devitrification of oxyfluoride glasses.
Erbium L(3)-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements were performed on rare earth doped fluorosilicate and fluoroborate glasses and glass ceramics. The well known nucleating effects of erbium ions for the crystallization of cubic lead fluoride (based on x-ray diffraction measurements) and the fact that the rare earth ions are present in the crystalline phase (as indica...
متن کاملShort-range structure in solid and liquid CuBr probed by multiple-edge x-ray-absorption spectroscopy
X-ray-absorption measurements of solid and liquid CuBr in the T5295– 793 K range of temperature are presented. Accurate short-range structural parameters are extracted using simultaneous Cu and Br K-edge extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure ~EXAFS! refinement in the framework of the multiple-scattering GNXAS method for data analysis. In solid CuBr we find an increasing asymmetry of the firs...
متن کاملGlass structure and ion dynamics of lead-cadmium fluorgermanate glasses.
Glass structure and fluorine motion dynamics are investigated in lead-cadmium fluorgermanate glasses by means of differential scanning calorimetry, Raman scattering, x-ray absorption (EXAFS), electrical conductivity (EC), and (19)F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Glasses with composition 60PbGeO(3)-xPbF(2)-yCdF(2) (in mol %), with x+y=40 and x=10, 20, 30, 40, are studied. Addition ...
متن کاملStructural Correlations and Mechanical Behavior in Nanophase Silica Glasses
Sintering, structural correlations and mechanical behavior of nanophase silica glasses are investigated using large-scale, parallel molecular-dynamics simulations. During the sintering process, the pore sizes and distribution change without any discernible change in the pore morphology. The height and position of the first sharp diffraction peak in the neutron static structure factor shows sign...
متن کاملSHORT RANGE ANTIFERROMAGNETIC ORDERING IN FLUORIDE GLASSES ''PbMnFeF7 AND ''Pb2MnFeF9''
Neutron diffraction and EXAFS experiments have been made on fluoride glasses "PbMnFeF.," and "Pb^MnFeFg" to provide informations about the magnetic short range order of pairs M-M (M = Mn"", Fe3) and the local environment of Mn and Fe3. The magnetic correlation function shows in both glasses prevailing strong antiferromagnetic first neighbour interaction at 3.6 A and two ferromagnetic interactio...
