Abstract
Short Range Order (SRO) in certain solid solutions can be measured directly from observed EXAFS structure function peak areas. Results for MgO-FeO, MgO-LiFeO2, and CaMgSi2O6-CaFe2+Si2O6 solutions indicate that these are almost completely disordered at their synthesis temperatures. The necessity of structural modeling to obtain interatomic distances for varying compositions and degree of ordering is emphasized.
