Abstract
A new furnace, based on a halogen lamp, and a sample cell have been
designed and constructed for in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy
experiments in conventional and dispersive mode ( transmission and
fluorescence geometries). The main application of the apparatus is
thermal treatment studies under controlled conditions for dynamical
processes. The sol - gel ( gelatin) method has been utilized to
synthesize NiO nanoparticles. During this heating process, in situ Ni
K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structural measurements provided
evidence of the evolution of a Ni environment until complete NiO
nanoparticle crystallization. This case is reported in order to show the
furnace performance in dispersive mode.
