Popis: Anharmonicity in the lattice vibrations of oxygens in UO2 has been examined by using EXAFS of the ULIII absorption edge. 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.
