Abstract

AbstractThe carbon K-edge Reflection-Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (refl-EXAFS) spectra from graphite, diamond and glassy carbon have been investigated. There is good phase shift transferability between the two well-known bonding types in diamond and graphite, provided that appropriate inner potential corrections to the K-edge energy E. are made. The model spectra from diamond and graphite were used to investigate the nature of glassy carbon. It was found that, for the particular form of glassy carbon used in this study, the bonding more closely resembled sp3 than sp2. This result is preliminary pending our evaluation of the influence of surface oxygen.
