X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for obtaining basic molecular-level information, which is required for a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for radionuclide transport in the environment. A unique experimental station dedicated to the study of actinides and other radionuclides by XAFS spectroscopy has become operational at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France. The main characteristics of the Rossendorf Beamline, ROBL, and its radiochemistry end station and selected results obtained on Tc and Np solutions are presented.

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (XAFS) is a powerful technique to investigate the local atomic geometry and the chemical state of atoms in different types of materials, especially if lacking a long-range order, such as nanomaterials, liquids, amorphous and highly disordered systems, and polymers containing metallic atoms. The INFN-LNF DAΦNE-Light DXR1 beam line is mainly dedicated to soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy; it collects the radiation of a wiggler insertion device and covers the energy range from 0.9 to 3.0 keV or the range going from the K-edge of Na through to the K-edge of Cl. The characteristics of the beamline are reported here together with the XAFS spectra of reference compounds, in order to show some of the information achievable with this X-ray spectroscopy. Additionally, some examples of XAFS spectroscopy applications are also reported.

X Ray Absorption

X-ray absorption fine structure XAFS spectroscopy has been used to determine the valence system for the Fe atom in ilmenite, FeTiO3 . This is the first XAFS data in FeTiO3 to our knowledge. The α- Fe2O3 data served as the standard in determining the ionization of the Fe atom in FeTiO3 . Observation of intensity and k-space are consistent. There was no evidence of mixed valence on comparing the FeTiO3 near edge X-ray absorption spectrum with α- Fe2O3 data. The absorption spectra suggest that iron is in the trivalent state in ilmenite.

A bent crystal Laue analyser (BCLA) is an X-ray energy analyser used for fluorescence X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy to separate the fluorescence X-ray emission line of a target atom from the elastic scattering X-rays and other fluorescence emission lines. Here, the feasibility of the BCLA for total reflection fluorescence XAFS (TRF-XAFS), which has a long X-ray footprint on the substrate surface owing to grazing incidence, was tested. The focal line of the BCLA was adjusted on the X-ray footprint and the XAFS signal for one monolayer of Pt deposited on a 60 nm Au film with high sensitivity was obtained. Although range-extended XAFS was expected by the rejection of Au fluorescence arising from the Au substrate, a small glitch was found in the Au L 3 edge because of the sudden change of the complex refraction index of the Au substrate at the Au edge. This abnormal spectrum feature can be removed by reflectivity correction using Au foil absorption data. BCLA combined with TRF-XAFS spectroscopy (BCLA + TRF-XAFS) is a new technique for the in situ surface analysis of highly dispersed systems even in the presence of a liquid overlayer.

SummaryX-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy has been used to determine the speciation of Pu precipitates prepared by the heterogeneous reduction of Pu(VI) with Al and Fe in 5 M NaCl and an ERDA-6 brine, a simulant from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico. NaOCl was added to some of these solutions to determine its effect on Pu speciation. Analysis of the Pu
