简介：Fe2O3nanoparticlescoatedwithsodiumdodecylbenzenesulphonate(DBS)orcetyltrimethylammoniumbromide(CTAB)werepreparedbyusingamicroemulsionmethodinthesystemwater/toluene.Thenanoparticleswerecharacterizedbymeansoftransmissionelectronmicroscopyandaverageparticlesizesof5.0nmand6.0nmwerefoundforDBS-modifiedandCTAB-modifiednanoparticlesrespectively.Thelocalatomicstructuresoftheseiron(Ⅲ）oxidenanoparticleswereprobedbyusingtheextendedx-rayabsorptionfine-structuretechnique.FeKabsorptionspectrawerecollectedatbeamline4W1BofBeijingSynchrotronRadiationFacility.Astructurealmodelwasproposedfordescribingtheiratomicstructures.TheFe-ObondlengthatthesurfaceofDBS-coatedFe2O3nanoparticleswasfoundtobesimilartothatinbulkFe2O3.buttherewasabout0.04AexpansionfortheCTAB-coatedFe2O3nanoparticles.Onthebasisofthemodelproposedinthispaper,thethicknessesofthesurfacelayerswereestimatedtobe0.5nmand0.7nm.respectively,fortheDBS-coatedandCTAB-coatedFe2O3nanoparticles.Theanharmonicityoftheatomicvibrationandtheasymmetryofatom-pairdistributionwerefoundtobelargeratthesurfaceofthenanoparticlesthaninthebulkmaterial,whiletheDebye-Wallerfactorsarealmostthesameforthesurfaceandthecorepartsofthenanoparticles.Itcanbeconcludedthattheatomicstructureofthenanoparticlesurfaceisordered.buttheatom-paridistributionisasymmetric.
