AASCIT Journal of Physics. Vol., No., 5, pp Abstract Using the ective anharmonic instein potential is a new procedure for calculation and analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) cumulants of mixed body center cubic(bcc)crystals andhas been derived based on quantum statistical theory. This study has formulated the expressions that describe asymmetric component for dopant bcc crystals that include the first cumulant or net thermal expansion, the second cumulant or mean square relative displacement (MSRD), the third cumulant, thermodynamic parameters and anharmonic perturbation factors. These contain the anharmonic ects contributions of body center cubic crystals that have been doped with instein frequency, instein temperature, and thermal expansion coicient constant. Numerical results for pure Iron (Fe) and pure Molybdenium (Mo), and Fe doped by Mo (FeMo) are found to be good agreement with experiment.. Introdution X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) spectra is a powerful structural analysis technique, in which the XAFS functions provide information on atomic number of each shell, and their Fourier magnitudes provide information on radius of atomic shell [4]. The use of XAFS theory for studying thermodynamic properties of lattice crystals of a substance is necessary and has been executed []. The thermodynamic parameters for pure cubic crystals, and for mixed face centered cubic (fcc) crystals are provided by correlated - anharmonic instein model in XAFS theory [, 6, 8]. However, the thermodynamic parameters, cumulants and anharmonic perturbation factor for doped body centered cubic (bcc) crystals are not mentioned. This study uses the anharmonic ective instein potential [5] to formulate ective force constant, thermodynamic parameters, anharmonic perturbation factor and the cumulants expressions of dopant bcc crystals. These include the first cumulant or net thermal expansion, the second cumulant or mean square relative displacement, the third cumulant, and instein frequency and temperature which are contained in the XAFS. In this paper, the bcc crystals which contain a dopant atom called as absorbing atom in the XAFS process, its nearest neighborsare host atoms asbackscattering atoms. Numerical calculation for Iron (Fe) doped by Molybdenium (Mo) crystal has been carried out to

The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental values.. Fomalism The expression of anharmonic XAFS spectra is often described by []: n SN R i ( k) ( ik) Φ ( n) χ ( k) = F ( k) exp Im e exp ikr + (T), kr λ(k) n n! () wheres is the intrinsic loss factor due to may electron ects, N is atomic number of as well, F (k) is atomic backscattering amplitude, Φ (k) is total phase shift of photoelectron, k and λare wave number and mean free path of the photoelectron, respectively, and ( n ) ( n =,,,... ) are the cumulants to describe asymmetric components. They all ikr e appear due to the thermal average of the function, in which the asymmetric terms are expanded in a Taylor series around value R =<r > with r is instantaneous bond length between absorbing and backscattering atoms at T temperature. According to the anharmonic correlated instein model [4], ective interaction between absorbing and backscattering atoms with contributions of atomic neighbors is characterized by an ective potential: ( x) k x + k x + U, () with net deviation x = r r, and r is spontaneous bond length between absorbing and backscattering atoms, r is its equilibrium value, in q.(), k is ective spring constant because it includes total contribution of neighboring atoms, k is cubic anharmonicity parameter which gives an asymmetry in the pair distribution function. Because oscillations of a pair single bond between of absorbing and backscattering atoms with masses M, Mare affected by neighboring atoms, when taking into account these ects via an anharmonic correlated instein model, ective instein potential to be formed: U µ Mi ( χ ) = k x + k x U Rˆ.Rˆ ; i= j i ij µ = M /(M M ) () M + In q.(),rˆ is the unit bond length vector, µ is reduced mass of atomic mass M and M, the sum according to i, j is the contribution of cluster nearest atoms. The atomic vibration is calculated based on quantum statistical procedure with approximate quasi - hamonic vibration, in which the Hamiltonian of the system is written as harmonic term with respect to the equilibrium at a given temperature plus an anharmonic perturbation. P H = + U ( χ ) = H + U ( a) + δu ( y ); µ H P = + k y µ y = x a, a (T) = x, y = witha is the net thermal expansion, y is the deviation from the equilibrium value of x at temperature T. Next, the use of potential interaction between each pair of atoms in the single bond can be expressed by anharmonic Morse potential for cubic crystals. xpanding to third order around its minimum, we have: αx αx ( ) ( ) U x = D(e e ) D + α x α x +... (5) where D is the dissociation energy by U( r ) D (4) =, and α is expansion thermal parameter. In the case of dopant crystals, we have expression of the Morse potentialformed: ( x) D ( + α x α x...) U = + (6) Morse potential parameters in q.(6) have been obtained by averaging those of the pure crystals and they are given by: D α + D α D α + D α α =, α =, D D + D D + D D + D = From expressions (), (6) we have ective interaction instein potential as: U ( ) = U ( a) + k y + δu ( y) (7) χ, (8) Substituting q. (6) with x = y + a into () and using q. (8) to calculate the second term in q.

The atomic vibration is quantized as phonon, with consideration of the phononphonon interaction for taking into account the anharmonicity, we obtain the cumulants: ( ) ħω ( z) a + = = 4D α ( z) ( ) ħω ( z) y + = = ( z) Dα ( ) ħ ω ( + z + z ) = D α ( z) () () () βħω θ/ / T wherez e = e is the temperature variable and ħω determined by the θ = is instein temperature, k B is kb Bonztmann s constant. And anharmonic perturbation factor U (y) has determined form: α(a x) δu = α (y) 5D a(a x) (4) 4 Factor U (y) dependence T temperature and net deviation x.. Comparison We applied the expressions which are derived in the previous section to numerical calculation for mixed crystal is Iron-Molybdenium (FeMo).According to Morse potential parameters for purefe, Mo crystalshave been known [, 6], we calculated parameters D and for dopaint crystals above, shown on Table. Table.

(,,, 4), we received the expressions of cumulants and anharmonic perturbation factor to describe temperature variablez = e /.Next, replacing instein temperature value θ (K ) into expression of z temperature variable, we have the expressions to only illustrate T dependence temperature of cumulants and thermal expansion coicient constant, dependence temperature and net deviation of anharmonic perturbation factor. Figure and Figure illustrate the temperature () dependence of the first cumulant (T) or net thermal () expansion and third cumulant (T) of Fe doped by Mo crystal and FeMo pure crystals. Theoretical results of () (T) agreed well with the experimental values at 77K, 95K and 7K temperatures forfe pure crystals[, 7] and at K, 68K temperatures for Mo pure crystal and dopant () FeMo crystal. Theoretical results of (T) are also in good agreement with the experimental values at 95K temperature for Fe pure crystal and Fe doped by Mo crystal, and at K temperature for Mo pure crystal [6, 7]. Figure illustrates the temperature dependence of our calculated anharmonic () contribution the second cumulant (T).Moreover the mean square relative displacement (MSRD) of FeMo mixed crystal and Fe, Mo pure crystals and compared to the measured values at 77K, 95K and 7K temperatures for FeMo [5], and at K, 95K and 68K temperatures for Fe and Mo [5, 7] theoretical results also agree well with the experiment. Noted that the experimental values from XAFS spectra measured at HASYLAB and BUGH Wuppertal (DSY, Germany)[5]. In the graphs we know that, at low () () temperatures, the cumulants,, included zero-point energy contributions, and this is quantum ects. At high () temperatures, the cumulants, are linear proportional to the T temperature, and the third cumulant is proportional to the square temperaturet.they all agreed with results of classical theory and experiment. Figure 4 illustratesthe temperature dependence of thermal expansion coicient constant α T of Fe, Mo and FeMo in our calculated. Theyalso have the form of specific heat whichreflects the fundamental of solid state theory, that the thermal expansion is the result θ / T ()

Conclusion A new analytical theory for calculation and evaluation of the thermodynamic properties of bccdopant crystals have been developed based on the quantum statistical theory with the ective anharmonic instein potential developed for the doping bcc crystals. The expressions for the thermodynamic parameters, ective force constant, correlated instein frequency and temperature, the first, second and third cumulants, thermal expansion coicient, anharmonic perturbation factor in an harmonic XAFS spectra of bcc crystals including dopaint crystals all agree with all standard properties of these quantities. The quantity calculation for the doping crystals has the same form as for the pure crystals themselves. The well agreement between the results of calculated theory and the experimental values demonstrates possibilityis expected to be used the present developed theory in XAFS data analysis.
