Abstract
We present results of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of nonstoichiometric Tb1 ‒ yBa1 +yCo2 –xO5.5 – δ cobaltites and EuBaCo2O5.5 cobaltite powders subjected to mechanical impact (milling in a ball mill). It was established that in octahedra of Tb1 – yBa1 + yCo2 – xO5.5 – δ cobaltates Co3+ ions are in the high spin state. In EuBaCo2O5.5 powder after milling in a ball mill, a surface area (5–10 nm) of particles was found to be decomposed into Co3O4, BaCO3, and EuCoO3 phase components. A knowledge of the low-spin state of Co3+ ions in EuCoO3 and Co3O4 and possibilities of surface-sensitive soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy have allowed to determine the composition of the EuBaCo2O5.5 sample (subjected to ball milling) near its surface, which is inaccessible to standard X-ray phase analysis.
