Abstract
X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of crystalline ReO3 was performed at the Re L3-edge in the temperature interval from 77 to 670 K. The analysis of both XANES and EXAFS regions shows that in ReO3, a progressive localization of the 5d states following the temperature increase is accompanied at T > 350 K by a distortion of the ReO6 octahedra. The distortion increases continuously up to the ReO3 decomposition temperature Td≈ 673 K and leads to the lowering of the rheniurn site symmetry from Oh(T≤350K) →D4h(T≈513K)→C4v(T≈668K). The observed distortion is explained by (i) the strong electron-phonon coupling of the 5d electron with the M3 and M'z3 phonons and (ii) the Jahn-Teller-like effect caused by the rhenium 5d1 electron which becomes localized at high temperature.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
