Abstract
Axinite contains Mn and Fe which are difficult to identify. This mineral has center of symmetry, but has piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity. These properties are thought to expressed by orderly arrangement of Mn and Fe, so we aimed to determine the distribution of these elements by using XAFS and AXS method.
According to XAFS, Mn exists almost as Mn2+, Fe in axinite having large total amount of Mn and Fe partly existed as Fe3+. By the AXS, we succeeded to visualizing the distribution of Fe.
