Structure of extremely nanosized and confined In-O species in ordered porous materials.

Perturbed-angular correlation, x-ray absorption, and small-angle x-ray scattering spectroscopies were suitably combined to elucidate the local structure of highly diluted and dispersed InOx species confined in the porous of the ZSM5 zeolite. This novel approach allow us to determined the structure of extremely nanosized In-O species exchanged inside the 10-atom-ring channel of the zeolite, and to quantify the amount of In2O3 crystallites deposited onto the external zeolite surface.

Anisotropic relaxations introduced by Cd impurities in rutile TiO(2): first-principles calculations and experimental Support.

We present an ab initio study of the relaxations introduced in TiO (2) when a Cd impurity substitutes a Ti atom and an experimental test of this calculation by a perturbed-angular-correlation (PAC) measurement of the orientation of the electric-field gradient (EFG) tensor at the Cd site. The ab initio calculation predicts strong anisotropic relaxations of the nearest oxygen neighbors of the impurity and a change of the orientation of the largest EFG tensor component, V(33 ), from the [001] to the [110] direction upon substitution of a Ti atom by a Cd impurity. The last prediction is confirmed by the PAC experiment that shows that V(33 ) at the Cd site is parallel to either the [110] or the [1 1;0] crystal axis.

Atomic surrounding of Co implanted in AIN at high energy.

AlN bulk ceramic has been implanted with energetic Co ions. In order to accurately characterise the atomic surrounding of the implanted ions. X-ray absorption measurements were carried out at 80 K in the fluorescence mode at the Co K edge in the as-implanted and annealed states. Simulation of the EXAFS oscillations allowed us to identify a first stage where Co is inserted in the AlN matrix followed by a second stage where Co precipitates form.

In situ and ex situ XANES study of nanodispersed Mo species in zeolites used in fine chemistry catalysis.

Mo K-edge XANES experiments on Mo-containing zeolites at low Mo loading (1 and 2 wt% of Mo on H-ZSM-11, H-BETA and H-ZSM-5 catalysts), active in fine chemistry reactions, were performed ex situ as function of sample calcination temperature in air (in the range 773-973 K) or in situ at 873 and 973K under N2 flow. The results showed a 4-fold oxygen coordination for the incorporated Mo species in the activated (dehydrated) state. Combining these results with additional data evidences an almost total Mo exchange inside the zeolite channels.
