Abstract:
The O K-edge spectra of perovskites XTiO3 with X=Ca, Sr and Ba have been measured using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and are analyzed using the ab initio full multiple-scattering (MS) calculations. The near-edge structures arise mainly from covalency by direct and/or indirect interaction between oxygen and metal. The coordination number of the cation and the site symmetry also influence the spectral shape and structures. Comparison of full MS simulations of different clusters around the excited atom allows to interpret and correlate the features present in the spectra of each compound to its specific atomic arrangement and electronic structure.

Molecular and Ionic Solids
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
