Extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure studies of diamond and graphite

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

We have recorded the extended x-ray-absorption fine structure (EXAFS) above the carbon K edge for diamond and highly oriented crystalline graphite using 250--800-eV synchrotron radiation. The spectra are used to test phase and amplitude transferability of the C-C EXAFS signal between the two bonding forms of carbon. We find excellent phaseshift transferability with errors in distances less than 0.01 A. Amplitude transferability is worse but better than 20%. Implications of our results for structural determinations of C-C bonds in molecules and solids are discussed.
