XAFS of ZnSe

Abstract We present an X-ray absorption study of zinc selenide at the Zn and Se K-edges. The analysis of the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) was done in the framework of the multiple-scattering theory. The total XAFS signals have been obtained; they are in good agreement with the experimental data. We have found that for both edges multiple-scattering contributions are negligible for wavevector values greater than 3 A −1 .
