Zusammenfassung |
We present a spectroscopic study of the iron M2,3-edge for several minerals and compounds
to reveal information about the oxidation state, local coordination and spin state of iron. We
describe a novel approach to probe the iron M-edge bulk sensitively using non-resonant
inelastic x-ray scattering. Significant changes in the onset and shape of the Fe M-edge were
observed demonstrating the capabilities of x-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy to extract
information on the Fe3+/Fetot ratio and local coordination. In-situ measurements of the
pressure-induced spin transition in FeS even demonstrate that this technique allows for
detection of the spin cross-over as well as characterization of the electronic properties of the
low-spin phase. Thus, x-ray Raman spectroscopy is suitable for obtaining detailed
insights to the properties of Fe in-situ at high pressure and temperature providing
indispensable information for many physical and chemical processes of the deep Earth. |
