Recent results on the diffuse scattering from single crystals of Fe1−xO at high temperatures reveal that the defect structure is in striking agreement with embedded cluster calculations by Ellis et al. The dominant defect is an imperfect 7:2 cluster. Mixtures of this and a larger complex (13:4) can explain the electrical properties. XANES studies of this oxide are in agreement with Ellis' theoretical work. However, in both FOx and MnxO it is not possible to use the shift of the cation K absorption edge to characterize valence. In fact in the latter case the shift passes through a minimum, perhaps indicating the onset of clustering.
