Jm. Ripalda et al., Correlation of x-ray absorption and x-ray photoemission spectroscopies in amorphous carbon nitride, PHYS REV B, 60(6), 1999, pp. R3705-R3708
The nature of bonding in amorphous carbon nitride was studied by synchrotro
n-radiation photoemission spectroscopy and near-edge x-ray-absorption fine
structure, The experimental data are compared with theoretical calculations
of chemical shifts, and the relative importance of initial and final state
effects is discussed. Bond lengths are determined from the position of the
sigma* resonance and the obtained results suggest sp(2) hybridization. The
experimental and theoretical evidence presented in this paper supports ano
ther interpretation of the photoemission spectra of amorphous carbon nitrid
