Abstract
The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) at the Pr-L(II,III) t hresholds was studied for tetravalent PrBaO3 and PrO2. The XANES spect ra of both systems exhibit typical double-peaked ''white-line'' struct ures with substructures reflecting the different oxygen coordination i n PrBaO3 and PrO2. These substructures are best visualized by the seco nd derivative of the XANES spectra. We observe also characteristic dif ferences between the respective L(II)- and L(III)-edge spectra.
