Show affiliationsXAFS at the copper K-edge has been recorded for cuprous oxide and cupric oxide separately and also for a mixture of the two in a specific ratio, at the XAFS beam line at SSRL. The normalized μ(E) data obtained for the two oxides, i.e., Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxides separately was linearly combined to fit the normalized μ(E) data of the mixture using the Linear Combination Fitting (LCF) method. The values obtained for the statistical goodness-of-fit parameters, R-factor and chi-square, show that the fit is reasonably good. This procedure yielded the percentage of the oxides in the mixture which was found to be nearly the same as the actual percentage which was used to prepare the mixture. Another method based on the analysis of normalized difference absorption edge spectra has also been used to quantitatively determine the percentage of the two copper species in the mixture. The LCF method is, however, found to be better than the normalized difference absorption edge analysis.
