J. Moonen et al., THE INFLUENCE OF POLYDISPERSITY AND INHOMOGENEITY ON EXAFS OF BIMETALLIC CATALYSTS, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 209(1-4), 1995, pp. 689-690
The effect of polydispersity and inhomogeneity of supported bimetallic
catalysts on the EXAFS analysis is investigated with some simple mode
l calculations. These show that EXAFS is very insensitive to polydispe
rsity. Polydispersity and inhomogeneous distribution of the metals ove
r the particles however have only limited influence on the ability to
distinguish between core-shell particles and particles with random dis
tribution of both metals.
