Abstract

Low crystallinity of unsubstituted goethites is characterized by a small coherently diffracting domain, which may be accompanied by another type of disorder revealed by broader IR half-absorbance band widths. Inside the unit cell, the H-bond is weaker, which increases the OH stretching frequency and lowers the bending frequencies. Also, an increase in parameter a and a change in Fe-O bonds, which might correspond to a minor tilting of octahedra, occur along with a lowering of the frequency of the 630 cm−1 band.
