The crystal and electronic structures of SiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ mixtures are analysed using X-ray diffraction and ultra-soft X-ray emission spectroscopy. The energy redistributions of the Fesрd, Sisp, and Op valence electrons due to changes in the mass ratio (20/80, 50/50, 80/20) of SiO₂ and α-Fe₂O₃ in the mi...
