Abstract
A method based on the local density approximation and on the multiple scattering wave calculation taking
into account screened X-ray core hole potential for the final state has been used to analyze the experimental XANES spectra
of the VOPO4.2H2O xerogel. The effect of cluster size on the computations has been analyzed concluding that the pre-edge
depends only on the first shell formed by the six nearest oxygen atoms. In VOPO4.2H2O structure, the absorbing VO6
octahedron is surrounded by PO4 tetrahedra. Thus VO6 octahedra are not linked with each other excluding solid state effect
in the pre-edge region. In contrast, edge region is sensitive to the cluster size. Computations show that at least a cluster of
V5P4O26 must be taken into account to reproduce, in rather good agreement, the edge part of the absorption spectrum.
