Abstract
The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique was first introduced as an atomic structure determining technique in 1971. Since then its applications have grown dramatically, expanding into many diverse fields. With the decade or so of experience in using EXAFS, its limitations and strengths have been defined. Yet there still appears to be a misconception that EXAFS cannot be used to determine the anharmonic solids. Recent developments have shown that these perceived limitations are not real ones. In this paper the recent developments are summarized and their implications for determining the distribution function of atoms in amorphous and anharmonic solids are described.
