CSIC | Fecha de publicación: | 2011 | Editor: | Institute of Physics Publishing | Citación: | Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 23(32): 325601 (2011) | Resumen: | We report on experimental oxygen K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of the LaFe1 - xGaxO3 and LaMn1 - xGaxO3 series. Transition metal substitution by the 3d full shell Ga atom is mainly reflected in a systematic decrease of the pre-edge structures in the XANES spectra of the two series. This result shows that the associated states originate from the hybridization of oxygen 2p and unoccupied Fe (or Mn) 3d states. In order to gain insight into the states associated with the pre-edge spectral features, we have performed ab initio theoretical calculations based on multiple scattering theory. Simulations with variable cluster size and composition around the absorber oxygen in the LaFeO3 and LaMnO3 crystal structures were carried out. We find that the low-energy pre-peak is reproduced once the absorbing oxygen and the two nearest neighbour Fe (or Mn) ions are considered in the cluster. Conversely, higher energy pre-peaks only arise when the full oxygen coordination geometry around the two metal sites is taken into account, implying that their energy distance is a reflection of the strength of the oxygen ligand field. Substitutions of the two nearest neighbours by Ga atoms in the cluster of calculation lead to changes in the theoretical spectra that reasonably agree with the evolution of the pre-peaks in the experimental XANES spectra of both the series. © 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/53636 | DOI: | 10.1088/0953-8984/23/32/325601 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1088/0953-8984/23/32/325601 issn: 0953-8984 e-issn: 1361-648X |
