Introduction Molybdates and tungstates find a wide range of practi- cal applications due to their ability to adopt different crys- tallographic structures, whose physical properties can be further modified by a chemical composition [1,2]. In par- ticular, these materials are used as scintillators, down- conversion phosphors, white light-emitting diodes, laser host materials, catalysts, sensors and pigments [3–12]. Copper molybdate CuMoO4 is a functional oxide material exhibiting thermochromic and piezochromic properties [13– 15]. It attracts much attention because of its potential applica- tions for temperature sensing in the ranges where majority of organic compounds and liquid crystals are unstable. Possible chromic-related applications extend from the user-friendly temperature and pressure indicators [14–17] to “smart” inor- ganic pigments [18]. Besides, copper molybdate has also promising catalytic properties [19–23]. Structural, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of CuMoO4 were previously studied in [13,24–27]. Cur- rently six different structural phases of CuMoO4 are known [24,28]. In this study, we focus on two of them — green α-CuMoO4 and brownish-red γ-CuMoO4 phases that are stable at high and low temperatures, respectively (Fig. 1). At ambient pressure and room temperature, CuMoO4 has α-phase with triclinic structure (space group P-1) [24,29]. It is composed of distorted CuO6 octahedra, CuO5 square- pyramids and MoO4 tetrahedra. By decreasing temperature below ∼200 K (or by applying pressure above 0.2 GPa at Fig. 1. (Color online) Crystalline structures of high-temperature α- CuMoO4 and low-temperature γ-CuMoO4 phases [24]. © I. Jonane, A. Cintins, A. Kalinko, R. Chernikov, and A. Kuzmin, 2018 X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy of thermochromic phase transition in CuMoO4 room temperature) reversible first order phase transition from α-CuMoO4 to γ-CuMoO4 occurs [24]. Low-temperature γ modification also has triclinic lattice (space group P-1) built up of distorted CuO6 and MoO6 octahedra [25]. The α-to-γ phase transition is accompanied by color change (from green to brownish-red) and volume reduction of 12–13% [24] that makes the two phases easily distinguishable. However, the presence in both phases of three non-equivalent Cu and Mo atoms with different local environment makes structural analysis challenging [24]. The α-to-γ phase transition occurring below room tem- perature was studied previously using x-ray diffraction [24] and optical spectroscopy [14,26], differential scanning calorimetry and magnetic susceptibility [14] measure- ments. It was found that the transition has hysteretic be- havior, so that lower temperature is required to promote the α-to-γ transition than γ-to-α. Chromic properties of CuMoO4 are associated with the interplay between two optical absorption bands: the one in the blue range (around 3 eV) is due to the interband transi- tion across the band gap of the crystal and the second one in the red (around 1.49 eV) originates due to the intraband d-d transition at copper [13,14,26]. Note that the thermo- chromic phase transition is strongly affected by chemical composition: for example, an addition of tungsten to CuMoO4 results in a formation of solid solutions CuMo1−xWxO4 (x ≤ 0.12) and shifts the transition tempera- ture by up to 100 K [14,18,24]. Since thermochromic and piezochromic properties of CuMoO4 are connected with its local structure, x-ray ab- sorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an obvious choice to probe structural changes during the phase transition. XAS pro- vides information complementary to other techniques and, in the case of CuMoO4 can probe the local environment around Cu and Mo atoms independently by detecting two different absorption edges. Therefore, we have performed the temperature-dependent (10–300 K) Cu and Mo K-edge XAS study of thermochromic phase transition in CuMoO4 at the new P65 beamline (HASYLAB at DESY, Hamburg) using the synchrotron radiation from the PETRA-III stor- age ring. The obtained results allowed us to confirm the hysteretic nature of phase transition and to explain the in- fluence of structural changes on the x-ray absorption near edge structure based on ab initio full-multiple-scattering calculations. Experimental and data analysis Polycrystalline CuMoO4 powder was synthesized using solid-state reaction method by heating a mixture of CuO and MoO3 powders at 650 °C in air for 8 h followed by cooling down to room temperature. The as-prepared pow- der corresponded to α-CuMoO4 phase and had green color. Temperature-dependent (from 10 to 300 K) x-ray absorp- tion experiments were conducted at the HASYLAB PETRA- III P65 undulator beamline. The PETRA-III storage ring operated at E = 6.08 GeV and current I = 95 mA in top-up 40 bunch mode. The harmonic rejection was achieved by uncoated (Cu edge) and Rh-coated (Mo edge) silicon plane mirrors. Fixed exit Si(311) double-crystal monochromator was used in all experiments. The x-ray absorption spectra were collected at the Cu (8979 eV) and Mo (20000 eV) K-edges in transmission mode using two ionization chambers. The Oxford Instruments liquid helium flow cryostat was used to maintain the sample temperature. The CuMoO4 powder was gently milled in agate mortar and deposited on Millipore membrane. The Cu and Mo K-edge XANES parts of the x-ray ab- sorption spectra were isolated and used in the further analy- sis. It was observed that the Cu K-edge XANES spectra do not vary significantly upon temperature change indicating some stability of the copper environment. Therefore, they will not be discussed further. At the same time, the Mo K-edge XANES was significantly affected by temperature variation. The experimental Mo and Cu K-edge XANES spectra corresponding to γ-CuMoO4 at 10 K and α-CuMoO4 at 300 K are shown in Figs. 2(a),(b). The pre-edge shoulder at the Mo K-edge is clearly visible around 20000 eV, and its change can be related to a transition from MoO4 tetrahedra to MoO6 octahedra upon cooling. At the same time, the Cu K-edge XANES does not change significantly upon phase transition. A fraction of α-CuMoO4 phase was evaluated at each temperature during heating from 10 to 300 K and cooling from 300 down to 100 K using a linear combination of the lowest temperature (10 K) and highest temperature (300 K) Mo K-edge XANES. The analysis was performed using Athena package [30] in the energy range from 19980 to 20010 eV with the aim to sample a variation of the pre-edge shoulder. The obtained results are shown in Fig. 3, where the hysteretic behavior is well observed. XANES calculations Full-multiple-scattering (FMS) XANES calculations were performed using ab initio real-space FDMNES code [31,32] employing muffin-tin (10% overlap) self-consistent potential. The dipole and quadrupole transitions were taken into account, and the energy-dependent real Hedin– Lundqvist exchange-correlation potential was used [33,34]. The calculated XANES spectra were broadened to account for the core-hole level width (5.8 eV at the Mo K-edge [35]) and other multielectronic phenomena. The energy origin was set at the Fermi level EF. The results of FMS XANES calculations for five MoOx clusters are shown in Fig. 2(c). They correspond to regular MoO4 tetrahedron (R(Mo–O) = 1.78 Å), regular MoO6 octahedron (R(Mo–O) = 1.98 Å) and distorted MoO6 octahedra with molybdenum ion being displaced in the direction of octahedron apex by 0.2 Å (<100>), to the oc- Low Temperature Physics/Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur, 2018, v. 44, No. 5 569 I. Jonane, A. Cintins, A. Kalinko, R. Chernikov, and A. Kuzmin tahedron edge by 0.28 Å (〈110〉) and to the octahedron face by 0.35 Å (〈111〉). FMS XANES calculations were also performed for α- and γ-CuMoO4 structural models created using diffraction data from [24]. The total calculated Mo K-edge XANES spectra and separate contributions from non-equivalent molybdenum atoms (Mo1, Mo2 and Mo3) are compared with the experimental data in Fig. 4. Results and discussion The Mo K-edge XANES spectra of CuMoO4 at two temperatures (10 and 300 K) are shown in Fig. 2(a). The pre-edge shoulder at ∼20000 eV corresponds to the 1s(Mo) → 4d(Mo) + 2p(O) transition. Note that the final state of the electron is the relaxed excited state in the pres- ence of the core hole at the 1s(Mo) level screened by other electrons. The transition is forbidden in the dipole approx- imation for a regular MoO6 octahedron, having an inver- sion center, but becomes allowed when inversion sym- metry is broken as in distorted octahedron [36,37] or in tetrahedron [38] (Fig. 2(c)). The amplitude of the pre-edge shoulder depends on the degree of the MoO6 octahedra distortion and 4d(Mo)/2p(O) orbital mixing and is the larg- est for tetrahedral MoO4 coordination [39]. Therefore, it can be used to monitor the γ-to-α phase transition in CuMoO4. Since accurate separation of the pre-edge shoulder from the main absorption edge is tricky, we employed a different approach: the experimental XANES spectrum at each tem- perature was approximated by a linear combination of the lowest temperature (10 K) and highest temperature (300 K) XANES spectra. As a result, the fraction of the α-CuMoO4 phase in the total XANES upon heating and cooling was estimated and is reported in Fig. 3. As one can see, only γ-CuMoO4 is present below 150 K and only α-CuMoO4 is observed above 280 K, as expected. Linear combination analysis showed that upon heating, the γ-to-α phase transition occurs between ∼230–280 K, whereas upon cooling, the α-to-γ transition takes place at lower temperature between ∼120–200 K, showing a large hysteresis loop with the range of two phase coexistence of about 50–80 K. Following the notation from [14], two tem- perature T1/2H and T1/2C corresponding to about 50 mol% of the α and γ phases upon heating and cooling, respectively, are equal to T1/2H ≈ 255 K and T1/2C ≈ 143 K. The width of the hysteresis is defined as ∆T1/2C = T1/2C − T1/2H = 112 K. Fig. 2. (Color online) (a),(b) Experimental Mo and Cu K-edge XANES of α-CuMoO4 (at 300 K) and γ-CuMoO4 (at 10 K) phases.

FMS Mo K-edge XANES calculations performed for α-CuMoO4 and γ-CuMoO4 phases are shown in Fig. 4. They are in a reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Since there are three non-equivalent molybdenum atoms in the unit cells of both molybdates [24], we have calculated also their contributions into the total XANES spectrum (see two lower panels in Fig. 4). As one can see, the three molybdenum atoms, located in distorted tetrahedral coordination with the Mo–O distances ranged between 1.70 and 1.86 Å [24], produce slightly dif- ferent XANES for α-CuMoO4. At the same time, the three contributions to XANES from molybdenum atoms, located in strongly distorted octahedral environment with the Mo–O bond lengths ranged between 1.68 and 2.49 Å [24], are close for γ-CuMoO4, except for the region of the pre-edge peak. These differences are caused by an influence of outer coor- dination shells located above 2.5 Å, whose detailed analysis using reverse Monte Carlo approach is in progress. Conclusions We report the first in situ x-ray absorption spectrosco- py study of the thermochromic phase transition between brownish-red γ-CuMoO4 and green α-CuMoO4 in the temperature range from 10 to 300 K. We found that the Cu K-edge XANES is weakly affected upon the phase transition because the local environment of copper atoms does not change significantly. At the same time, the anal- ysis of the Mo K-edge XANES allowed us to follow the transition, tracing a variation of the pre-edge shoulder. The experimental Mo K-edge XANES data were inter- preted based on ab initio full-multiple-scattering calcula- tions. Good agreement was found between the experi- mental and simulated XANES spectra, and the contribution from non-equivalent molybdenum atoms in the crystal- lographic unit cell was estimated. It was shown that the amplitude of the pre-edge shoulder correlates with the type and the degree of distortion of molybdenum–oxygen coor- dination polyhedra. A significant variation of the experimental Mo K-edge XANES upon the thermochromic transition occurs due to the change of the local environment of molybdenum atoms from distorted tetrahedral in green α-CuMoO4 to distorted octahedral in brownish-red γ-CuMoO4. Moreover, the thermochromic transition has well evidenced hysteretic be- havior, in agreement with the results of previous studies [14]. The transition from the γ-to-α phase occurs in the tem- perature range of 230–280 K upon heating, whereas the α- to-γ transition occurs between 120 and 200 K upon cooling. The width of the hysteresis was estimated to be about 112 K. Acknowledgments Financial support provided by Scientific Research Project for Students and Young Researchers Nr.
