Abstract
EXAFS measurements on RbBr at the Br absorption edge and different ternperature were carried out. Conventional analysis of the data using the Daresbury EXCURV92 code shows with increasing temperature a decrease in nearest neighbour distance. Also large differences are found in the coordination numbers for k and k3 weighted EXAFS with increasing temperature. Using cumulant expansion when fitting the data results in a small increase in nearest neighbour distance with temperature, as expected from thermal data.
