چکیده

The local thermal behavior of the Ag(2)O framework structure has been studied by extended x-ray absorption fine structure. The average Ag-O nearest-neighbor distance expands upon heating, while the Ag-Ag next-nearest-neighbor distance contracts. An original implementation of the cumulant analysis shows that the Ag-O expansion is a joint effect of potential anharmonicity and geometrical deformation of the Ag(4)O basic tetrahedral units. Accordingly, the negative thermal expansion of the lattice parameter in Ag(2)O cannot be explained uniquely in terms of rigid unit modes.

Local structure in Ag3[Co(CN)6]: Colossal thermal expansion, rigid unit modes and argentophilic interactions

Local structure in the colossal thermal expansion material Ag3[Co(CN)6] is studied here using a combination of neutron total scattering and reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) analysis. We show that the large thermal variations in cell dimensions occur with minimal distortion of the [Co(CN)6] coordination polyhedra, but involve significant flexing of the Co–CN–Ag–NC– Co linkages. We find real-space evide...

EXAFS studies of local thermal expansion

Original information on local thermal expansion can be obtained through a cumulant analysis of EXAFS. The different sensitivity to correlation of the first and third EXAFS cumulants, and their comparison with crystallographic distance, can help in disentangling the contribution of potential anharmonicity to thermal expansion from geometrical effects. These possibilities are illustrated by recen...
