We performed an EXAFS measurement for some alloys at 20 K. But we couldn't do it for pure elements at 20 K. Does amplitude reduction factor (SO2) of EXAFS have a strong temperature dependence? Does SO2 also have crystal structure dependence?
No, amplitude reduction factor is temperature independent term and it is take care of remaining electron when one is ejected basically it is configurational relaxation. If it changes with temperature then you cant find the actual coordination number and scattering strength of particular path.
You will find there hints to calulate the temperature dependence.
According to the diploma thesis of W. Böhmer, there is almost no temperature dependence of (delta sigma)² in the range of 0 to about 100K and beyond a quite linear increase with T for the investigated samples. The above mentioned paper is the public version of his thesis.

but temperature dependence of EXAFS amplitudes is introduced in the EXAFS description via the Debye-Waller factor exp(-sigma²*k²) and describes the k-dependence of EXAFS amplitudes caused by the relative vibrational motion of the atom pairs of interest.
There is a lot of experimental evidence that there is a temperature dependence of that term. Please google...
Dear Prof. Gerhard Martens yes we are talking about different things. But question is related to the S0^2 not the sigma. your point regarding MSRD (sigma_exafs) is absolutely right.
Thank you for the kind answers! Abdul Ahad Gerhard Martens . Yes my question was about amplitude reduction factor. Abdul Ahad could you introduce me some papers related to your explanation?
