description

We present ab initio calculations of x-ray-absorption fine structure for the Re L 3 and L 1 edges in crystalline ReO 3 based on an exact curved-wave multiple-scattering approach. Good agreement between theoretical and experimental data has been found for both edges. We show that, as expected, the contribution of multiple-scattering signals from linear chains, like Re-O-Re and O-Re-O, is very large both in the L 3 - and L 1 -edge spectra due to the strong focusing effect caused by the middle atom
