Analytical expressions for the anharmonic effective potential, local force constant, Displacement-displacement Correlation Function (DCF) CR and Debye-Waller factor described by the Mean Square Relative Displacement (MSRD) σ2 and by the Mean Square Displacement (MSD) u2of bcc crystals in the X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) have been derived. The effective interatomic potential of the system has been considered by taking into account the influences of nearest atomic neighbors, and it contains the Morse potential characterizing the interaction of each pair of atoms. Numerical results for u2, σ2 and CR of Fe and W are found to be in good agreement with experiment. The ratios CR/u2 and CR/σ2 approach constant values at high temperatures showing the same properties obtained by the Debye model. | Anharmonic effective potential local force constant and correlation effects in XAFS of BCC crystals
