Title: Anharmonic vibrations in UO<sub>2</sub>as determined by EXAFS

Whilst the EXAFS-determined U-U distance of 3.89 AA closely matches the crystallographic separation, the U-O distance of 2.43 AA is 0.06 AA longer. This shift is interpreted on the basis of an anharmonic lattice model in which oxygens occupy anti-tetrahedral sites.Read More
