Local Electronic Structure of Calcite Investigated Using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy at Different Span of Time.
2020
For the present work, calcite nanoparticles was synthesized from calcium nitrate by annealing precursor at 300, 400, 500 and 600°C. Ca K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure measurements revealed spectral features characteristics to the amorphous phase of calcium carbonate at 300 and 400°C. At 500 and 600°C, the spectra were analogues to the calcite phase of calcium carbonate. Simulation of extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra envisaged that both coordination number and bond distance for Ca-O bonds decreased with annealing temperature. Both parameters attained values close to standard calcite when annealed at 600°C. The spectral features at Ca L-, O K- and C K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure appeared at same positions for different ages, which envisaged the occurrence of almost same local electronic structure for different span of times.
