Abstract:

The object of the research program is the evaluation of X-ray absorption edge spectroscopy as a research tool for the direct determination of valence, bond type, and coordination of compounds in the solid state. Progress in the following areas is summarized improvement and testing of a monitored beam x-ray spectrometer establishment of absorber sample preparation techniques measurement of initial calibration spectra using several copper compounds study of cobalt valence in lanthanum above and below the transition temperature.
