Response to Comment on 'New Clues to the Local Atomic Structure of Short-Range Ordered Ferric Arsenate from Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy'

摘要

In a recent study, we have concluded that the "chain model" proposed by Paktunc and co-workers for amorphous ferric arsenate (AFA) is incorrect, and that AFA possesses a local scorodite-type structure (framework model). In their Comment, Paktunc and Manceau questioned our EXAFS shell fits, arguing that our structure assessment was not supported by the data. Here, we show that the Comment is based on several misconceptions and that the authors ignored major findings of Mikutta et al.
