X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) measurements of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) sample La 0.79 Ca 0.21 MnO 3 at high fields indicate a decrease in the width parameter of the pair distribution function, σ, as the applied magnetic field is increased for T near Tc. The change in σ2 from the disordered polaron state varies approximately exponentially with magnetization irrespective of whether the sample magnetization was achieved through a change in temperature or the application of an external magnetic field. This suggests a more universal relationship between local structure and the sample magnetization than was previously indicated.

This review aims to critically assess the use of X-ray techniques, both of a scattering (e.g. X-ray diffraction (XRD), pair distribution function (PDF)) and spectroscopic nature (X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS)), in the study of cobalt-based Fisher–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts.

We extend our previous EXAFS investigations on the relationship between magnetization and local distortions to the bilayer materials La 2-2x Sr 1+2x Mn 2 O 7 and to higher magnetic fields, for quasicubic La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3. For each, there is a significant change in the broadening parameter σ of the Mn-O pair distribution function (PDF) associated with polaron formation as T is increased through T c. Applying a magnetic field reduces the local distortion of the Ca sample for temperatures near T c. For samples with sharp transitions, there is still a significant change of σ2 with T below T c when the sample is fully magnetized, i.e. distortions are still present and continuing to be removed as T is lowered well below T c. A simple model is presented for the magnetization process.

The PDF refinement shows layer structure of SnS-A with two distinct bond lengths, one nearly parallel to the ‘a’ axis and another perpendicular to the ‘a’ axis, it corresponds to bond lengths of 2.62528 (38) Å and 2.66204 (03) Å.
