Abstract

Structural and bonding characteristics of simplified (Pd, Te) precipitates have been determined in a simulated nuclear French glass using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and x-ray diffraction. In this sample, these precipitates have a homogeneous composition, with about 10 wt.% Te. They retain a face-centered cubic structure as in pure Pd with a cell parameter which obeys Vegard's law. Pd K-edge EXAFS shows the presence of Te in the Pd coordination shell, with (Pd–Te) distances of 2.80 Å. These distances, higher by 0.05 Å than the (Pd–Pd) distances, may result in a lower packing efficiency of the CFC lattice. The comparison with the average distances derived from x-ray diffraction shows the nonmetallic character of the Pd–Te bond in these precipitates. These bonding modifications may cause the limited solubility of Te in metallic Pd.
