The evaluation of uncertainty in temperature‐dependent EXAFS measurements is discussed, considering the specific case of a recent experiment performed on CdTe. EXAFS at both Cd and Te K ‐edges was measured at different times and at different beamlines in a temperature range from 5 to 300 K. Attention is focused on the nearest‐neighbours parameters: bond thermal expansion, parallel and perpendicular mean‐square relative displacements and the third cumulant. Different causes of uncertainty, a comparison of experimental results with theoretical models, the difference between EXAFS and crystallographic thermal expansions and the meaning of the third cumulant are discussed.
