Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Cu L2,3 and Co L2,3 edges, we demonstrate that the valence state of copper in the thiospinel carrollite (CuCo2S4) is Cu+ with a d count of Cu d9.8. The Co has a d count of d6.4, so that the highly cova... Read More about THE OXIDATION STATE OF COPPER AND COBALT IN CARROLLITE, CuCo2S4.
