Impedance spectroscopy (basic aspects)
Purpose: Exploring the electrical behavior of a microcrystalline
solid sample as function of an alternating current (ac) with a
variable frequency.
(note: difference between ac-/dc- and ionic/electronic conduction !!!)
three basically different
regions for the exchange
interactions between
current and sample:
a) inside the grains
(„bulk“)
b) at grain boundaries
c) surface of the
electrodes
the electrical behavior is simulated by a suitable combination of RC
circuits: R = resistivity, C = capacity

Impedance spectroscopy (electrical quantities)
The direct current (dc) resistance (R) is defined as:
U
R
I
U: applied voltage (V), I: curent (A)
R: resistance ()
The alternative quantity for an alternating current (ac) is the
impedance (Z*) which, however, is a more complex quantity than R
because there is a phase shift between U and I in general.
ac-voltage: U(t) = U0sint
I(t) = I0 sin(t+)
(t: time, = 2 with : frequency)
(: phase angle)

If only capacities are present the phase shift between voltage and

current amounts to /2 = 900.

- the higher the binding energy
(Ebind.) the lower the Eout !
- ESCA is in particular a surface
sensitive method (UHV !)

ESCA: Photoemission or Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Exciting Radiation
Outcoming Radiation
UV (~ 20 eV) UPS
electrons from
occupied valence states
X-Ray (~ 10 keV) XPS
electrons from
(occupied) core states
-commercial laboratory based spectrometers (UHV-technique) are available
but relatively expensive and of limited versatility !
- more promising for the future is the use of synchroton radiation:
continuous spectrum of exciting radiation (UV X-Ray)
- intensity of synchroton radiation is orders of magnitudes higher !
(e.g. angle resolved detection of outcoming radiation is possible
- detection of „orbital shapes“)
- polarization of synchroton radiation allows spin polarized experiments8

Moessbauer Spectroscopy
the nucleus of the specific isotope of an atom embdedded
in a solid (e.g. 57Fe) is excited by -rays emitted by an instable
isotope of a neighbor element (e.g. 57Co)
„Chemical shift“
and „Hyperfine
splitting“
source:
57Co
e.g.
(tunable)
Doppler effect
absorber:
e.g.
57Fe
frequently applied for
57Fe, 119Sn, 127J ...
chemical surrounding (symmetry,
coordination number, oxidation
state, magnetism) of atoms with
these nuclei in a solid can be probed
in a highly sensitive way (~10-8 eV)
13
Moessbauer Spectroscopy
Two major informations from
Moessbauer spectra:
a) „Chemical Shift“
(not to be confused with the same
term in NMR and ESCA)
oxidation state
b) Hyperfine Splitting
magnetic interactions

EXAFS and XANES
Spectroscopical methods associated with specific physical
effects at/near characteristical X-ray absorption edges:
EXAFS: Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure
XANES: X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure
- tunable synchroton radiation in the X-Ray region necessary
