Temperature dependencies of Ni, Cu and Mo metals EXAFS spectra were studied in order to determine the anharmonic pair potential. The potential parameters for metals with cubic structure-Ni, Cu, Mo as well as for Pb (Stern E A et al 1991 Phys. Rev. B 43 8850), Au, Ag (Newville M and Stern E A http://krazy.phys.washington.edu/paper/ag-au.html)-obtained earlier, were analysed to find correlations with other physical characteristics. It was found that a, b potential parameter values correlate with cohesive energy and interatomic distance for face-centred-cubic structure metals. Obtained potential parameter values were used to determine thermodynamics parameters, including the linear coefficient of thermal expansion, the Debye temperature, the bulk modulus and the Grunesien parameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
