Anharmonic Correlated Debye Model Debye-Waller Factors of Metallic Copper Compared to Experiment and to Other Theories
Main Article Content
Abstract
Debye-Waller factors (DWFs) of metallic Cu (fcc crystal) in X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) presented in terms of cumulant expansion have been studied using the anharmonic correlated Debye model (ACDM). This ACDM is derived using the many-body perturbation approach and the anharmonic effective potential that includes the first shell near neighbor contributions to the vibration between absorber and backscatterer atoms. Analytical expressions of three first XAFS cumulants of Cu have been derived involving more information of phonon-phonon interactions taken from integration over the first Brillouin zone. Morse potential is assumed to describe the single-pair atomic interaction. Numerical results for Cu using the present ACDM show their good agreement with experiment and with those of other theories, as well as their advantage compared to those calculated using the single-pair potential.
