Abstract
The distribution of Ga and Al atoms within the octahedral sheets of sy nthetic goethites has been investigated by XRD and Ga K-edge XANES and EXAFS spectroscopies. XRD results indicate a solid solution between g oethite (alpha FeOOH) and GaGoe4 (40 mol% of Ga), The XANES data indic ate the presence of Ga-6 in the solid solution. The fitting procedures for EXAFS spectra show no evidence of preferential octahedral site su bstitutions for Ga.
