EFFECTS OF MANY-BODY INTERACTIONS IN EXTENDED X-RAY ABSORPTION FINE STRUCTURE SPECTROSCOPY (EXAFS)
Abstract : We present the first a priori derivation of a many-body theory for EXAFS with clearly defined approximations and with final expressions which are feasible for quantitative evaluations. We conclude that the conventional EXAFS expression should be complemented with a term that crudely is the main term, energy-shifted and scaled down by a factor of order 0.2-0.3. Further the f-factors depe
