Abstract The decrease of the mean Si-O-Si angle in vitreous silica upon densification from 2.20 to 2.36 gcm-3 has been followed by oxygen and silicon K-edge XANES spectroscopy. Multiple scattering calculations using clusters of two shells around the oxygen and silicon atoms, respectively, are in good agreement with experimental absorption spectra and confirm mean Si-O-Si angles between 130 and 144° for these samples, and a decrease of the mean angle with densification. The experimental spectra also exhibit features due to scattering at outer (〉2) shells around the photoabsorbers.
