Temperature dependence of Debye-Waller factor in EXAFS, EELS and ARXPS
is calculated for one-dimensional models on the basis of first princi
ple quantum statistical method developed in the previous paper I. In c
ontrast to diffraction Debye-Waller factors for crystal we have no nee
d to worry about the divergence for these thermal factors in one- and
two-dimensional phonon systems. We consider anharmonic Morse potential
as nearest neighbor interaction. We take up to quartic term into acco
unt and estimate up to fourth order cumulants for both monatomic and d
iatomic chains in wide temperature range from low temperature in which
quantum effect is important, to high temperature in which classical a
pproximation works. Characteristic features of the contributions from
optical and acoustic modes are discussed in the diatomic model chain.
The result obtained here give us clear physical insights of those ther
mal factors.
