ABSTRACTX-ray absorption and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used to study chemical and magnetic properties of photodeposited Fe in Porous Vycor Glass(PVG). Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure(EXAFS) measurements of Fe samples show that after photolyzation, the Fe atoms are surrounded by two shells of six oxygen atoms and eight Fe atoms. The Fe-O and Fe-Fe distances are 1.84 °A and 1.99 °A respectively. After heating to 650 °C and 1200 °C shortening of bond lengths are observed. The second shell of Fe in unheated and heated to 650 °C samples have Fe-Fe distances of 3.0 °A and 2.98 °A respectively. Samples consolidated at 1200 °C show the Fe atoms to be surrounded by two shells of Fe atoms at 2.86 and 3.03 °A. This data together with Mossbauer and XANES spectra suggest that Fe exists in two different configrations, one is an Fe-Fe compound and the other is an octahedral Fe oxide similar to Fe2O3.

Electronic and magnetic properties strongly depend on the structure of the material, especially on the crystal symmetry and chemical environment. In nanoparticles, the break of symmetry at the surface may yield different physical properties with respect to the corresponding bulk material. A useful tool to investigate the electronic structure, magnetic behaviour and local crystallographic structure is X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In this review, recent developments in the field of extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements and in the analysis methods for structural investigations of bimetallic nanoparticles are highlighted. The standard analysis based on Fourier transforms is compared to the relatively new field of wavelet transforms that have the potential to outperform traditional analysis, especially in bimetallic alloys. As an example, the lattice expansion and inhomogeneous alloying found in FePt nanoparticles is presented, and this is discussed below in terms of the influence of employed density functional theory calculations on the magnetic properties.

AbstractIn this paper we present results on the use of x-ray absorption spectroscopy and in particular extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to study non-destructively buried interfaces between polymers and metals. In particular we study the interaction between isolated metal atoms (Ti or Cr) and the surrounding polymer matrix (polyimide or triazine). The metal atoms have been introduced into the polymer matrix using ion-implantation. We find that Cr forms a π complex with the aromatic structures of polyimide and triazine in agreement with model compound and XPS data. Ti on the other hand seems to form Ti-O-C bonds with both polymers.
