SixPack PCA
by Andrew 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Nagappan, I'm by no means a statistical expert. There are some rules of thumbs in the literature regarding what Spoil value to believe in or not. Some resources that you can look up: 1. Beauchemin, S.; Hesterberg, D.; Beauchemin, M., Soil Sci Soc Am J 2002, 66 (1), 83-91. (( in the above work they included standards which had SPOIL values greater than 6, so they would have rejected a standard with a value lower than 6)) 2. Malinowski, E. R., Factor Analysis in Chemistry. Wiley: New York, … [View More]

SixPack PCA
by Nagappan Ramaswamy 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hello, In the Target Transform step of PCA analysis using the SixPack program, I am trying to understand the significance of the parameter called SPOIL? Can this parameter can be used as a measure of merit of the target? If so, what range is acceptable. Also what does it mean if SPOIL value is zero? Thanks Nagappan

fitting
by mohamed sobhy 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Dear all I am trying to fit some data of coordination number 8, but I always find the fitting of the first shell give the coordination number only about 0.5. I do not know what is wrong. Do I need to fit first and second and third shells altogether, and if that is right how Can I do that?? Thanks

Dear Bruce, Thank you very much for your reply. I used structural file from ICSD database (http://icsd.ill.eu/icsd/index.php?action=Details&id[]=50276) I have attached the same file with this mail also. The following screenshot shows the core atom (Fe) i selected to get scattering paths. The following screenshot shows the actual problem : The Degeneracy (Deg : N) is 1 or 2 for all the paths which is not true from the structure. Many more thanks in advance.

Re: [Ifeffit] Emission spectra of Cobalt

Hi Timna, The energy arguments for the XES in FEFF84 are energies of the valence electron relative to vacuum, so emin should be a negative number. Try XES -20 0 0.3 This should capture at least some of the XES. You can play with emin to get the range right. Note that the number of energy points in FEFF84 is fixed, and if you specify a small energy step (the third parameter) you will not achieve the full range that you specify.
