X-ray absorption fine structure spectra

Haschke et al. (2000) have demonstrated the occurrence of a superoxide Pu02+JC(s) that reportedly formed between 25 and 350 C and contained Pu(VI). Runde et al. (2002) reported XAS evidence for the existence of Pu(V) instead of Pu(VI). Fine structure analysis for the Pu solid precipitated at 90 °C in a Yucca Mountain groundwater was compared with data for a Pu02(S) standard. The measured Pu-O distance of 0.185 nm is characteristic for Pu(V) and agrees well with the measured Pu-O bond distance of the Pu(V)02(aq) ion at 0.181 nm. The Pu-O bonds in hexavalent Pu compounds are much shorter. Other details in the X-ray absorption fine structure spectra supported the assignment of Pu as Pu(V). At ambient temperatures, oxidation of Pu(IV) was extremely slow and formation of Pu(V) was not observed.

X-Rav Absorption Fine Structure. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra (EXAFS) were obtained for a series of Sn/Pt on alumina or silica samples (45,46). The data suggest the possibility of Pt/Sn alloy formation, but do not provide conclusive proof for this. 

The EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) spectra of the residues were analyzed and the Fourier transforms for pure FeS2 and Fe Sg are shown in Figure 9. The Fourier transforms of the EXAFS spectra after reaction are shown in Figure 10. The first prominent peak in all the spectra is due to Fe-S distances (2.26 A for FeS2 and 2.44 X for Fe Sg). The second peak is due to the iron next-nearest neighbor—one for pyrite, but more complicated for FCySg since there are many iron distances present. For the residues of the reactions with FeS2 present, the Fourier transform is dominated by the Fe-S distance Fe-Fe distances are difficult to identify. This is attributed to the fact that the iron atoms and vacancies in the Fe. S structure (atomic % iron = 47.8) are extremely disordered and randomly distributed, in marked contrast to the residues of the reaction in the presence of Fe Sg. In the...
