description

A novel reverse Monte Carlo/evolutionary algorithm scheme was applied to the analysis of the W L3-edge and Mn(Co) K-edges EXAFS spectra from multiferroic MnWO4 and Mn0.7Co0.3WO4. A 3D structural model, consistent with the experimental data, was obtained, and the influence of composition and temperature on the local structure of tungstates is discussed.
