Abstract:Local structural features around Mn and Fe in Mn-bearing andalusite from Västanåberget, Sweden were investigated by anomalous X-ray scattering (AXS) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra indicate that all of the Mn and Fe atoms are in +3 oxidation state. Both the electron density map of Mn obtained by AXS and simulated multiple-scattering extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra indicate that the Mn atoms exclusively occupy Al1 site… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
