We investigate the crystallization of amorphous arsenic-selenium alloys with 0%, 0.5%, 2%, 6%, 10%, and 19% arsenic by atomic concentration using synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We identify crystalline order using the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra and correlate this order to changes in features of the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra. We find supporting evidence that the structure of amorphous selenium is composed of disordered helical chains, and is therefore closer to the trigonal crystalline phase than the monoclinic crystalline phase.
Time-dependent and constituent-specific spectral changes in soft near edge X-ray spectroscopy (XAS) of an [Fe/MgO]$_8$ metal/insulator heterostructure upon laser excitation are analyzed at the O K-edge with picosecond time resolution. The oxygen abso
Chalcogen-hyperdoped silicon shows potential applications in silicon-based infrared photodetectors and intermediate band solar cells. Due to the low solid solubility limits of chalcogen elements in silicon, these materials were previously realized by
We present a comprehensive study of vacancy and vacancy-impurity complexes in InN combining positron annihilation spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. Positron densities and annihilation characteristics of common vacancy-type defects are calculat
We determine the structural relaxations around paramagnetic impurities (Ti, Cr, Fe) in corundum (alpha-Al2O3), by combining x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) experiments and ab initio calculations. The structural relaxations are found to b
We analyze the nature of the structural order established in liquid TIP4P water in the framework provided by the multi-particle correlation expansion of the statistical entropy. Different regimes are mapped onto the phase diagram of the model upon re
