Cumulant expansion fittings
by umesh palikundwar 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Dear all, Cumulant expansion fittings are generally used, if there are more than one close shells of similar nearest neighbors (if I have understood it correctly). Third and fourth cumulants are used in the fittings to account for non-Gaussian distribution of the neighbors. I would like to known, can one use only fourth cumulant (i.e. without using the third cumulant) in the fittings? I will be highly grateful to get the answer to my query.

SCF cards in EXAFS and SO2 of CO, Mn and Cu
by JeongEunSuk 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello everyone I am using FEFF8.0 for the analysis of EXAFS. In FEFF, SCF card is for the calculation of self-consistent potential. I usually omitted SCF card for EXAFS. Is it right? Because the potential affects phase shift, I think that SCF card is also used in the analysis of EXAFS. which is correct, using SCF card or not in EXAFS? and I have another requirement. Could I know SO2 of Co, Mn and Cu? If anyone know those, would you show me? _________________________________________________________________ 메신저에서 클럽 이동도 한번에, 클럽을 운영하기 위한 것도 모두 제공! http://groups.live.com/

difference between Zn-Zn/Fe and Zn-Fe paths
by Hashem Stietiya 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Dear All, Is there a difference between fitting a second shell with two separate paths (Zn-Zn path and a Zn-Fe path) each with its own parameters and fitting that second shell with a combination of two paths (Zn-Zn/Fe)? When would I choose to do that latter, and how? I hope I made myself clear! Thanks, Hashem Stietiya Louisiana State University

SCF and FMS radius
by Eugenio Otal 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, I am simulating the XANES spectra of a erbium atom in an interstitial site of ZnO. I needed a SCF radius of 9.75 (316 atoms) and FMS radius of 11.90 (599 atoms) to obtain no change in the simulated spectra (differences of 0.01% or less) Now I am trying to simulate Er(OH)3 and it is using SCF 10.90 (622 atoms) and I still haven found convergence, I will need more even larger radius for FMS. Does the XAS phenomena have this distances? Has this distances physical meaning? Thanks, euG 8<- - - - - - 8<- - - - - - 8<- - - - - - 8<- - - - - - Lic. Eugenio H.

distinguishing between actual shells and artifacts
by mstiet2＠lsu.edu 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Dear all, I am currently fitting first and second shells with Zn-O and Zn-Zn paths,respectively. I get second shell features that could be fit quite well, but I am not certain if they are actually second shell features or possibly artifacts. For some samples I get second shell features that I know should not be present. What criteria would you use to distinguish between artifacts and actual shells? Your assistance is appreciated.

How to keep enot,delr, and ss within acceptable limits
by Hashem Stietiya 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Dear All, I am currently using ARTEMIS to fit Zn-O, Zn-Zn paths to first and second shells, respectively. Many times I would get unacceptable values for enot, ss, and delr. My question is: is there a way to tell ARTEMIS that I want these parameters to be within acceptable limits? For example, you cannot have negative ss, so how can I avoid any fit result that produces negative values for ss? Or high extremely high values for enot and delr? I appreciate your assistance and guidance. Regards, Hashem Stietiya School of plant, Environmental and Soil Sciences Louisiana State University

Trouble with fitting with Arthemis
by Kleper Oliveira Rocha 14 Jan '09

Hi all, Please, help me. When I try to do any fit in Arthemis, setting all parameters unless one, been this one any of the parameters, the fit gives for the answer -1.0000 +/- 0.000000 like example down. What is happening? ============================================================ Independent points = 8.239257812 Number of variables = 1.000000000 Chi-square = 0.120000000E+37 Reduced Chi-square = 0.165762849E+36 R-factor = NaN Measurement uncertainty (k) = 0.000437667 Measurement uncertainty (R) = 0.000724906 Number of data sets = 1.000000000 Guess parameters +/- uncertainties (initial guess): * amp = -1.0000000 +/- 0.0000000 (1.0000)* Set parameters: enot = 0 delr = 0 ss = 0.003 c3 = 0.0001 c4 = 0.00001 -- Kleper de Oliveira Rocha Chemical Engenieer Doctorated Tels. 55 016 3351-8694

Re: [Ifeffit] SCF and FMS radius
by joshua jason kas 14 Jan '09

Hi Eugenio, I would call all of the spectra that you sent converged. It is true that they are not the same to all digits of output, but you really don't need things to be that accurate. Theoretical and experimental errors are much larger, especially in the near edge. When converging w.r.t. the SCF and FMS radius, you really only need to be sure that changes in the spectrum due to finite cluster size are small compared to the differences between theory and experiment. You can probably get by with a much smaller cluster even.
