Investigation of Co nanoparticles with EXAFS and XANES
نویسندگان
چکیده
3, 5, and 12-nm Co nanoparticles were synthesized via thermo-decomposition. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) were used to probe the structures of these nanoparticles. Simulations were carried out to compare the EXAFS profiles of three different crystalline phases of Co. The results of EXAFS and XANES suggested that the reactivity of these nanoparticles towards their environment is inversely proportional to their size. Sharp decreases in the amplitude of EXAFS of these nanoparticles were observed, which could be attributed to the existence of the disorder in those crystalline nanostructures. 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Analysis and simulation of the structure of nanoparticles that undergo a surface-driven structural transformation.
A room temperature solid-state structural transformation was observed in 3 nm ZnS nanoparticles in methanol following the addition of water (Zhang et al., Nature 424, 1025, 2003). Experimental wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS), x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy measurements show a large increase in crystallinity assoc...

Self-aligned nanostructures (SAN) made by reacting Co nanoparticles with crystalline Si substrates at high temperatures were studied with grazing incidence X-ray absorption spectroscopy (GI-XAS). The results from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) were used to identify SAN as crystalline CoSi2. Theoretical calculations o...

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) techniques at both Fe and Mn K-edges were used to investigate the formation of MnFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles embedded in a silica aerogel matrix as a function of calcination temperature (at 450, 750 and 900 degrees C). Up to 450 degrees C, two separated highly-disordered phases of iron and manganese ar...
