Yl. Slovokhotov et al., XAFS study of local atomic environment in well- and ill-ordered transitionmetal sulfides MxTS2 (T = Mo, Nb, Ta) derived from TS2 intercalates, NUCL INST A, 470(1-2), 2001, pp. 295-301
XRD and XAFS data for two series in mixed-metal derivatives of layered TX,
disulfides (where T = Nb, Ta, and MO), viz MxMoS2 (M=Ni, Cu, Ag, Cd) and (N
i,Cr)(0.33)TS2 (T=Nb, Ta), and related species, were analyzed qualitatively
. Intercalation of M atoms between MoS2 slabs in poorly-ordered MxMoS2 was
supported by a comparison with crystalline Cr0.33TS2 and Ni0.33TS2 referenc
e samples. A disorder of Nb and Ta atoms inside trigonal prismatic coordina
tion polyhedron is revealed by EXAFS and discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scien
