A STUDY OF X-RAY ABSORPTION EDGE SPECTROSCOPY AS A TOOL FOR SOLID-STATE CHEMICAL RESEARCH.

Abstract

The object of the research program is the evaluation of X-ray absorption edge spectroscopy as a research tool for the direct determination of valence, bond type, and coordination of compounds in the solid state. Progress in the following areas is summarized: improvement and testing of a monitored beam x-ray spectrometer; establishment of absorber sample preparation techniques; measurement of initial calibration spectra using several copper compounds; study of cobalt valence in lanthanum above and below the transition temperature.
