RT Journal Article T1 NEXAFS experiment and multiple scattering calculations on KO_2: effects on the π resonance in the solid phase A1 Pedio, M. A1 Wu, Z. Y. A1 Benfatto, M. A1 Mascaraque Susunaga, Arantzazu A1 Michel, E. A1 Ottaviani, C. A1 Crotti, C. A1 Peloi, M. A1 Zacchigna, M. A1 Comicioli, C. AB The high-energy resolution O K-edge absorption near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectrum has been measured for in situ prepared potassium superoxide. The experimental data have been analyzed in detail by multiple scattering calculations using self-consistent field potentials. In particular, the so-called π resonance at the rising edge, which presents a double-peak structure, has been totally resolved and reproduced by the calculations. This analysis indicates that the grown material is arranged in a KO_2 structure with an O-O distance between 1.31 and 1.34 Angstrom. Moreover, the calculation demonstrates both a complete ionic character of the bound between the Oˆ(2-) anion and K atoms and a strong interaction between the anion and solid-state matrices.
