Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure (DAFS) is a site-selective method for studying local electronic structures. As an advantage over X–ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) it is possible to differentiate between atoms of the same kind but different Wyckoff positions which is especially useful for site–ordered mixed valence systems. Here, this method was applied to study the substitution of Mn atoms with Fe on the octahedral and pyramidal sites in YMn_2−ξFe_ξO₅ [2]. Further, the c–ordering of Pd substitutes on Si sites according to a super structure proposal from F. Tang et al. [1] was investigated for the intermetallic compound Ho₂PdSi₃. Theoretical modelling was performed using the FDMNES code [3]. The measurements of the experimental data have been carried out at beamline E2 of DESY/HASYLAB Hamburg.
