It seems unlikely to me.  XANES is typically described as probing the
electronic states of a sample.  There is, of course, a strong connection
between atomic/nuclear structure and electronic structure, but the changes
in thermal structural disorder with temperature are actually pretty small.
Interference-sensitive measurements (EXAFS, XRD) will be sensitive to such
changes, but XANES is much less so.  When describing an EXAFS
Deybe-Waller model, the amplitude decays as exp(-2k^2*sigma^2).  When k is
very small (ie, XANES), you need to have sigma be very large for that to
make much of an impact in the XANES region.

Some XANES features (such as pre-edge peak intensities) can have some
temperature dependence - these are sensitive to small changes in the
overlap of specific electronic levels.  But, in general, the XANES features
don't have a strong temperature dependence.

But, I guess we should ask: do you see a significant variation in your
XANES spectra with temperature?

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.

-R.
