Abstract

Cerium dioxide samples of different dispersivity, obtained by different methods, have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, full-profile analysis of diffraction patterns, calculation of radial distribution function (RDF) of electron density, and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. According to the XRD data, the samples studied can be identified in the fluorite structure with conventional unit-cell parameters. However, the local structure of highly dispersed samples, determined by the RDF and EXAFS methods, changes: the coordination spheres for the Ce-O distances are represented by two distances.
