摘要
The structure relaxation in nanocrystalline NiO (nano-NiO 13 nm crystallite size) has been studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ni K-edge at 300 K Conventional single-scattering analysis of the EXAFS signals from the first two coordination shells showed a lattice volume expansion by about 1% and a contraction of the Ni-O bonds by about 0 5% in nano-NiO compared to microcrystalline NiO A more sophisticated approach based on a combination of classical molecular dynamics and ab initio multiple-scattering EXAFS theory allowed us to interpret both static relaxation and lattice dynamics in nano-NiO (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
