摘要
X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra is used as a probe of surface structure of alpha-Fe2O3 nanocrystal, prepared by sol-gel method. We present O K-edge XANES of alpha-Fe2O3 in nanocrystal and bulk by total electron yield at the photoemission station of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The spectrum of alpha-Fe2O3 shows a splitting of the pre-edge structure, which is interpreted as two subsets of Fe 3d t(2g) and e(g) orbitals in oxygen octahedral (O-h) crystal field, and is also sensitive to long-range order effects. However, no distinguishable splitting of the pre-edge peak of nanocrystal alpha-Fe2O3 is observed. This suggests that there exists the distorted octahedral coordination around Fe sites and also the long-range disorder due to the surface as compared with bulk alpha-Fe2O3.
