Abstract
The K-shell X-ray absorption spectrum of a Cd single crystal has been measured at temperatures from 4 to 300K with the crystal in two orientations - one optimizing EXAFS from the first Cd distance (R1 = 2.97Å), the other optimizing EXAFS from the second Cd distance (R2 = 3.29Å). Clear evidence is obtained for R2 although its visibility varies greatly with temperature on account of the large anisotropy in the thermal motion. The Debye-Waller factors for the thermal motion along R1 and R2 are derived and compared to theory.
