Abstract

Using silver K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, two different samples of silver-containing manganese oxide were analyzed in the fluorescence mode. For the first sample, silver ions from solution were sorbed onto one synthetic manganese oxide phase, namely cryptomelane (KxMn8O16, where l<x<2). The second sample was a silvermanganese oxide from Colorado. From the EXAFS analysis, silver was found to occupy two different sites in the synthetic sample. The natural samples from Colorado also exhibited a very similar coordination distances as the synthetic samples. In the low temperature spectrum of the synthetic sample at 10 K, the Ag-O peak was found to be missing and the amplitude of the Ag- Ag peak was approximately three times larger than the corresponding room temperature sample.
