The evaluation of uncertainty in temperature-dependent EXAFS measurements is discussed, considering the specific case of a recent experiment performed on CdTe. EXAFS at both Cd and Te K-edges was measured at different times and at different beamlines in a temperature range from 5 to 300 K. Attention is focused on the nearest-neighbours parameters: bond thermal expansion, parallel and perpendicular mean-square relative displacements and the third cumulant. Different causes of uncertainty, a comparison of experimental results with theoretical models, the difference between EXAFS and crystallographic thermal expansions and the meaning of the third cumulant are discussed.

Abstract

The evaluation of uncertainty in temperature-dependent EXAFS measurements is discussed, considering the specific case of a recent experiment performed on CdTe. EXAFS at both Cd and Te K-edges was measured at different times and at different beamlines in a temperature range from 5 to 300 K. Attention is focused on the nearest-neighbours parameters: bond thermal expansion, parallel and perpendicular mean-square relative displacements and the third cumulant. Different causes of uncertainty, a comparison of experimental results with theoretical models, the difference between EXAFS and crystallographic thermal expansions and the meaning of the third cumulant are discussed.
