 采用X射线吸收精细结构（XAFS）,X射线衍射（XRD）和差热分析（DTA）等方法研究了以化学还原法制备的NiB和NiP超细非晶态合金催化剂在退火过程中的结构变化．XRD结果表明,在300℃下退火时,NiB超细非晶态合金晶化生成纳米晶Ni3B亚稳物相,NiP超细非晶态合金则主要晶化生成金属Ni和部分晶态Ni3P的混合物相;在500℃退火且近于完全晶化的条件下,大部分超细非晶态合金都晶化为金属Ni．XAFS结果定量地说明,对于NiB和NiP初始样品,第一近邻Ni－Ni配位的平均键长Rj分别为0.274和0.271nm,其结构无序度σS很大,分别为0.033和0.028nm,其热无序度σT分别为0.0069和0.0060nm．300℃退火后,晶化生成的Ni3B的Ni－Ni配位的σS降低到初始样品的33％,仅为0.011nm．500℃退火后,NiB样品的结构参数与金属Ni基本一致,但NiP样品的Ni－Ni配位的σS还远大于σT,仍为0.0125nm,表明NiB和NiP超细非晶态合金的退火晶化行为有很大的差别．纳米晶Ni3B催化苯加氢反应的转化率比超细Ni－B非晶态合金或多晶金属Ni更高,表明纳米晶Ni3B中的Ni与B原子组成了苯加氢催化反应的活性中心．

A Probe of Valence and Conduction Band Electronic Structure of Lead Oxide Films for Photodetectors

We investigate how the electronic structure of amorphous lead oxide (a-PbO) films deposited on ITO substrate is changed after annealing at various temperatures. Both experimental soft X-ray spectroscopic and density functional theory (DFT) based computational techniques are used to explore the electronic structure of this material. X-ray emission, resonant X-ray inelastic scattering, and X-ray absorption spectroscopic techniques are employed to directly probe the valence and conduction bands. We discover that the films are very stable and remain amorphous when exposed to temperatures below 300 °C. An amorphous-to-polycrystalline (α-PbO phase) transformation occurs during annealing at 400 °C. At 500 °C, an alpha to beta phase change is observed. These structural modifications are accompanied by the band gap value changing from 1.4±0.2 eV to 2.0±0.2 eV upon annealing at 400 °C and to 2.6±0.2 eV upon annealing at 500 °C. A difference between surface and bulk structural properties is found for all samples annealed at 500 °C and above; these samples also exhibit an unexpected suppression of O : 2p density of states (DOS) near the bottom of the conduction band, whereas additional electronic states appear well within the valence band. This study provides a significant step forward to understanding the electronic properties of two polymorphic forms of PbO needed for optimization of this material for use in X-ray sensors.     

On the use of polycapillary structures to improve laboratory Energy-Dispersive X-ray Diffractometry and Reflectometry

One of the major limits of the laboratory X-ray sources is represented by their low photon flux which induces many researchers to move to synchrotron beamlines. From this point of view, polycapillaries lenses represent an extraordinary tool to improve the performances of laboratory machine and, indeed, several models of polycapillary optics-based instruments, such as diffractometers, spectrometers etc., are currently available on the market. In this work, the application of polycapillary optics to a particular kind of non-commercial X-ray instruments, namely the Energy-Dispersive X-ray Diffractometers and Reflectometers, is proposed. The advantages and limits of the use of polycapillaries are discussed and the results of preliminary experiments are shown.

Trace elements in human cancerous and healthy tissues: A comparative study by EDXRF,TXRF, synchrotron radiation and PIXE

It is known that trace elements play an important role in a number of biological processes.

These elements may also influence carcinogenic processes, thus the knowledge of trace element concentrations in healthy and neoplastic tissues might help in diagnostic and in the etiology and development of cancer.

Determination of trace elements in Syrian medicinal plants and their infusions by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and total-reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) techniques suited well for a multi-element determination of K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr in some Syrian medicinal plant species. The accuracy and the precision of both techniques were verified by analyzing the Standard Reference Materials (SRM) peach-1547 and apple leaves-1515. A good agreement between the measured concentrations of the previously mentioned elements and the certified values were obtained with errors less than 10.7% for TXRF and 15.8% for XRF. The determination of Br was acceptable only by XRF with an error less than 24%. Furthermore, the XRF method showed a very good applicability for the determination of K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, and Br in infusions of different Syrian medicinal plant species, namely anise (Anisum vulgare), licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and white wormwood (Artemisia herba-alba).     

Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of molecular X-ray intensities. Validity of one-center approximations

Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of relative X-ray transition probabilities for core hole states of N₂, CO, H₂O and NH₃ have been carried out and compared with the respective high-resolution soft X-ray spectra. The same one-determinental wavefunctions were employed for both initial and final states and the dependence of the X-ray transition moments on the choice of orbitals and of basis set parameters was investigated. In particular, orbitals optimized for a transition state were tested. The use of the one-center intensity model as a guide for the assignment of second row X-ray spectra was justified at bothab initio and semiempirical (CNDO) levels of approximation. The breakdown of the MO-picture for inner-valence electrons is demonstrated in the X-ray spectrum of N₂ and the analogy with the corresponding photoelectron bands is pointed out.
