Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak

2018-06-11 Thread Qingying Jia
Hi Disha,

  For such a huge shit of bond distance, the corresponding lattice constant
change should be readily seen by XRD. It will also shift the XANES edge
slightly.

yes, the coordination number needs to be varied.  The edges certainly do 
not show a significant change.

Hi Disha:

it would be good to see the XANES you are referring to.  Are the edges
identical or do they change but not shift significantly?  Is the
coordination number also constant?  Generally, the bond distance will
change with oxidation state if the coordination number is constant but if
the coordination number changes, then there could be a change in bond
length too.

 Dear Claudia, Qingying Jia, Matt

Thank you so much for your responses :)

The shift in bond length I see is almost around 0.1-0.12 Angstrom, which is
not small enough to ignore. I think the coordination might be changing, if
not the oxidation state. I will redo the Artemis calculations with N as a
variable again to see if that helps. Because keeping my N constant actually
gave me pretty low Debye-Waller values and R factor was also below 5% so I
was assuming the fits were reliable.

I was also thinking maybe Mn is undergoing partial oxidation, however, in
bulk we do not see that change in the main XANES absorption peak. I am not
sure if that can be a possibility.

Thanks a lot again!

Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak

2018-06-11 Thread Qingying Jia
Hi Disha,

  The shift in bond distance in this case, is not necessarily associated
with the change of oxidation state. It can be simply caused by the
insertion/removal of Li/Na or whatever depending on your battery type
during the charge/discharge, which sometimes changes the oxidation state of
Mn slightly, sometimes doesn't.

  Regards,

Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak

2018-06-11 Thread Claudia Schnohr

Dear Disha,

In principle, yes, there can be a change of bond length without a  
notable change of the XANES. But it also depends on how large the bond  
length changes are that you observe.


I have studied a lot of semiconductor alloys, for example (In,Ga)P or  
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 where the Ga and In atoms share the same lattice site.  
They are always coordinated to four P or Se atoms, respectively, but  
the bond lengths change by 0.02 to 0.03 A because the size of the unit  
cell changes with In/Ga ratio. At the same time, the Ga and In XANES  
is completely unaffected by a change of the In/Ga ratio. If you are  
interested in this, you may have a look at Phys. Rev. B 85, 245204  
(2012), J. Appl. Phys. 116, 093703 (2014), or Appl. Phys. Rev. 2,  
031304 (2015).


This is just to say that, yes, in some special cases you can have a  
change of bond length without a change of XANES. There can be lot's of  
other things going on, too :)


Cheers, Claudia
