Hi Gordon, I have just one spectrum per sample, all taken at different T (unknown, due to technical problems) and P (known). I'd like to find T and using an EoS is not a viable option. I was thinking that maybe, assuming that the Debye-Waller term is explained only by thermal disorder, the Debye temperature is P independent, and there are no structural or electronic transformations, I could retrieve T by fitting the Debye-Waller term and using the reference spectra. Is this possible? Best regards Gabriele

Hi everyone,

I'd like to estimate the temperature of some samples from some XANES spectra, is there a way to do that? I couldn't find an answer in the mailing list archive.

Thanks!

Only evaporation temperature, when XANES spectrum disappears?:)

Hi Gabriele,

To qualify Anatoly's cheerful, pre-morning coffee response, if your samples are part of a sequence of measurements of a material whose XANES has been measured at different temperatures, and said XANES does have some changes owing to changes in physical or electronic behavior with temperature (i.e. a phase transition), then you could estimate where your samples fit within that determined behavior.

Are you familiar with how temperature dependence manifests in a typical XAFS measurement? ...through the Debye-Waller term..the effects of which become less pronounced at lower k...

Temperature is more typically a controlled parameter during measurements.

So no, not really...unless there is a known behavior for comparison.
