摘要：
Conradson et al.(1) have analyzed X-ray absorption fine-structure spectra of the UO2-U4O9 system and concluded that oxygen atoms are incorporated in U4O9 as oxo groups with U-O distances in the range 1.72-1.76 angstrom. They also found that the uranium sublattice consists of an ordered portion and an additional 'spectroscopically silent' glassy portion. We have carried out studies of powdered U4O9 by neutron diffraction which contradict these conclusions from EXAFS measurements. Our analysis shows that there are no U-O bonds shorter than 2.2 angstrom and that U4O9 is crystallographically ordered with no evidence of a glassy structure.
