An Extended X-ray Absorption Fine-Structure Study Of The Rare-Earth Sites In A Neodymium Doped Glass

Gurman, Stephen J., Newport, Robert J., Oversluizen, M., Tarbox, E.J. (1992) An Extended X-ray Absorption Fine-Structure Study Of The Rare-Earth Sites In A Neodymium Doped Glass. Physics and Chemistry of Glasses, 33 (1). pp. 30-32. ISSN 0031-9090. (KAR id:15903)

Abstract

The local environment around the metal sites in a Nd doped aluminosilicate glass has been determined using extended x-ray absorption fine structure. Detailed fitting of the spectrum reveals an average Nd coordination of 4.5 +/- 1 oxygen atoms at 2.15 angstrom and 4.5 +/- 2 oxygen atoms at 2.44 angstrom; a second shell, containing silicon atoms, is centred at 3.7 angstrom. It is suggested that all the oxygen atoms are nonbridging.
