The temperature dependence of EXAFS spectrum was investigated on the normal and SMSI states of Rh/TiO{sub 2} and Pd/TiO{sub 2} catalysts. The mean square relative displacement (MSRD) of metal-metal bondings of supported metal was derived by the analysis of EXAFS data with the cumulant expansion technique, and the Debye temperature was estimated from the temperature dependence of MSRD. The Debye temperature or Rh-Rh bond of Rh/TiO{sub 2} catalyst was found to be higher by 38 K in its SMSI state in comparison with the normal state. This difference was shown to be due to the significant increase of the surface Debye temperature of Rh metal particles. A similar results was obtained for Pd/TiO{sub 2} catalyst. These facts were concluded to support the decoration model for the SMSI state.
