MS-52: Combining X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy to characterise materials
Invited: Ilaria Carlomagno (Italy), Marco Giorgetti (Italy) | ||
Session Abstract | ||
Structural and electronic information obtainable from XAS analysis are widely complementary with those from XRPD. XAS provides details about the electronic state, local coordination chemistry and atomic structure around the absorber in the few Å scale, while XRPD describes the crystallographic structure of long range coherent phases. These techniques can be combined to achieve reliable understanding of the physico-chemical properties of complex systems such as natural bio-geo-chemical compounds and novel materials. This symposium could be shared also with the commission on Powder diffraction For all abstracts of the session as prepared for Acta Crystallographica see PDF in Introduction, or individual abstracts below. | ||
