Also Matthew, I have found that my sample spectrum is an almost exact replica of the maghemite spectrum, the only differences being the absorbance height of the edge-peak (highest peak), which is ok but more importantly I have found that there is a +1eV shift of my spectrum relative to the maghemit

Hi all! I am out of my place and I can not check it now, but I believe that in the database of XAFS (or something like that) there are some spectra of maghemites obtained by Lytle long time ago. Best regards Maria Elena Montero Cabrera El ago 13, 2013 3:38 a.m., "Teck Kwang Choo" escribió: > Hi

Here are reference spectra. The calibration is defined with the Fe metal edge at 7110.75eV. The maghemite spectrum has been corrected for mild overabsorption by reference to magnetite, which is very similar. The magnetite is synthetic Fe3O4 from Aldrich, and done in TEY, so no overabsorption.

Hi all, @Drew Latta: I was wondering why the end members should be magnetite and maghemite. Is it because they are both of inverse-spinel structure, the difference only being that the latter has all Fe completely oxidized into Fe(III)? Would you be able to provide the standard spectra to me if tha

Hello, maybe that fingerprinting technique would be Mossbauer spectroscopy. The Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio comes easily and also there are lots of papers about Mg-ferrite, an example: 10.1109/TMAG.2009.2018880 Alexandre. ___

The database: http://cars.uchicago.edu/~newville/ModelLib/search.html does not seem to have Ferrite. The matrix of my sample is largely Mg-ferrite where Fe is in the form of Fe (III). If you anyone has the spectra for Mg-ferrite, would it be possible to provide it to me? Otherwise, I do not think

Thanks for your reply Edmund. I agree with you that I might have not chosen the right standards for my sample. In fact, XRD analysis have confirmed that Ferrite is the main form of Fe in my sample but I did not have any ferrite standards during XANES analysis. Was wondering if you happen to have a

Dear Teck Kwang Choo, it is the ratio of the number of (in your case) iron atoms. This ratio has no unit. You will therefore get the same number if you calculate molar % ratio or weight % (Except you consider the weight of the missing electron in Fe3+... :-). Now, if you weigh your standards and w

Hello, I have been using ATHENA to perform Linear Combination Fitting (LCF) on my XANES spectrum to quantify the amounts of Fe (II) and Fe (III) in my samples using only FeO and Fe2O3 as standards. The results showed a majority of Fe (II), which is contrary to what was expected. This made me wond
