plots from athena
by Saugata Datta 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, if you can help me with this question: I am trying to plot directly from athena via powerpoint for a publication/manuscript quality plot., I read a message posted that " "If you want to adjust things like fonts and line sizes on the plot for publication, then you have the option to save the plot as a metafile from the PGPlot window and import it into PowerPoint. Then convert the metafile into a drawing object with the "ungroup" feature. From this point you can change fonts, line shapes, colors, etc. to get the plot how you want it to look for publication. You can then re-save that slide as a picture (gif, tiff, metafile, etc) to be imported into the manuscript. This can get time intensive, but it's an alternative if all you want to do is adjust fonts and line colors/sizes. One caveat though, don't change the data! You can easily and unknowingly change the data if you're not careful (performing an action on one part of the drawing object without realizing another is highlighted for example) so always compare the final product to the original to make sure it's the same"... But I cannot find where the PGPlot window is., if you can kindly help. Say I want to plot six standards plotted /stacked one on top of the other in one figure, with correct seuqnce of legend? Can I do this without exporting to excel??? Thanks again... Saugata _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.

Exporting derivative data
by Paul Bingham 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, I wonder if you can help: I'm using Athena to process some XANES data and wish to export the derivative data so that I can use a package such as Excel to prepare the data for publication. However, the derivative data that is presented visually in the graphics window is a much cleaner, smoother data set than the one I get when I export it in either deriv Mu(E) or deriv Norm(E). I tried the smoothing option in Data-Smooth mu(E) with 3 iterations and again with 10 iterations on the interpolative smoothing. Both gave far noisier data than the data shown in the Graphics window. Please can you tell me how to get exported derivative data that will be (more or less) the same as that shown in the graphics window? Basically I' hoping for WYSIWYG if that's possible? Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome and thanks for your time. -- Dr. Paul Bingham Postdoctoral Research Associate Immobilisation Science Laboratory Dept. of Engineering Materials University of Sheffield Mappin Street Sheffield S1 3JD UK Email: p.a.bingham(a)sheffield.ac.uk Direct Line: (0114) 2225473

the use of constraints
by Kellie Aldi 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, I have a question on the use of constraints and restraints in EXAFS data fitting. I am using SixPack to build a model for the EXAFS of some synthetic layered transition metal (TM) oxides with relatively large amounts of layer vacancies. I am refining the occupancy of the layer TM site, from which I can determine the amount of layer vacancies. I want to include a parameter in this model that refines the number of these vacancies that are capped by interlayer TM (something that can happen in these structures), but I am having difficulty in deciding a responsible way to define the parameters of this variable. I am modifying the intensity of the interlayer TM scattering paths with a parameter fcap = (1-focc)*percap where focc is the refined occupancy of the layer TM site, and percap is the percentage of vacancies, "1-focc", that are capped by interlayer TM. However, just letting percap float, the value goes greater that 1... which, as a percentage, does not make much sense physically in my model. So I want to keep the value of this between 0 and 1. I have tried what was suggested on the IFEFFIT frequently asked questions page regarding constraints and restraints. I don't feel comfortable simply using a constraint and forcing the value to be between 0 and 1 using the suggested min/max idiom. I like better the idea of penalizing a fit when percap is outside of a defined range and thus "encouraging" the fit to settle percap somewhere inside this range. But in trying to use the restraint idea, including the fix suggested by Matt Newville for only penalizing the fit outside of the min/max range, percap still goes slightly above 1 (about 1.02) and in my results I get a value for the "penalty" that I am unsure how to interpret. Can this value be used to understand why the restraint still allows the value of percap to be outside of the defined "ideal" range? I am trying to understand how the restraint that Matt Newville defined in the link in the restraints/constraints FAQ works, but I am relatively new to EXAFS modeling and thus shaky on my skills at defining these parameters and knowing how certain math functions can be used. Are there any other help sections or guides that might address the use of such restraints? Or any suggestions on how to re-define this restraint? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/input! Thanks, Kellie Aldi

Dear all, i have a problem with running athena on windows 7. I can open the program, but when I try to open a file, just by clicking "open" the interfaces closes and only the graph window remains open. Does anyone encounter the same problem or even has a solution? Many thanks, matthias Dr. Matthias Bauer Inst. f.

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: mohamed sobhy <bakhshwan1981(a)yahoo.com> To: ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov Sent: Thu, May 20, 2010 4:14:18 PM Subject: [Ifeffit] fitting Dear all thanks for your help and explanation about the background I fitted my data after removing the background and in the attached file I got this fitting, although all the values are good but I think the coordination number should be less than 8 (for the first shell) due to irradiation. So how can I get the right coordination number? How to improve the fitting of second shell? thanks _______________________________________________ Ifeffit mailing list Ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit

co-ordination number for given shell
by Jatinkumar Rana 25 May '10

25 May '10

Dear Ifeffit users, I am working on EXAFS analysis of a mineral Arrojadite. It has very very complicated crystal structure. I have measured EXAFS in fluoresence mode on Mn and Fe edge. The mineral contains Mn and Fe as divalent cations distributed over 7 different atomic positions e.g. 3 different Mn atomic position (Mn1, Mn2 and Mn3) and 4 different Fe position (Fe4, Fe5, Fe6, Fe7). My question is : How do i know that How many paths should i take into consideration to fit 1st shell, 2nd shell and 3rd shell.. ?? I have rough idea that the first shell is octahedral Oxygen ions. I tried fitting first shell taking into account first 6 Oxygen paths and it gave reasonably good fit to first shell. But the confusion is how to consider paths for 2nd Shell, 3rd shell....etc. Your feedback is highly appreciated. P.S. I have attached artemis file (both Fe and Mn edge) with this mail for your reference. Best regards, Jatin

Re: [Ifeffit] calibrating and aligning samples for LCF
by Monson, Todd 24 May '10

24 May '10

I have XAFS data from several Fe nanoparticle samples as well as some Fe and Fe oxide standards collected during two different months. I would like to fit the Fe nanoparticle data using LCF and the Fe & Fe oxide standards. Data collected from Fe foil during the two months have been calibrated in energy. What is the best way to calibrate or align the other nanoparticle samples and standards collected during both of these sessions prior to doing LCF?

I need to make XANES and DOS calculations for K-edge of sulfur and then compare them with experiment. I use feff 8.4. First, I started from inorganic compounds such as CdS. I generated feff.inp file in ATOMS and first run feff with default values (generated by ATOMS). The fit wasn?t perfect so I started to change parameters-FMS and SCF but there was so significant improvement. I can only add that others fit are even worse. My question is which parameter I should change or which card should I add to make XANES calculations better? Maybe you can recommend any paper? The second question is about DOS calculations. I took the pDOS functions for each atom, set Fermi level from ldosNN files, but the main peaks are below this level and I don?t have any correspondence with XANES spectrum. For other compounds I have the same problem. Should I add any extra shift? I will be grateful for your advice.

XANES and DOS calculations
by Joanna Czapla 22 May '10

22 May '10

Dear Feff Users, first of all I must admit that I am a total beginner and probably there are some things which I don’t understand very well. I need to make XANES and DOS calculations for K-edge of sulfur and then compare them with experiment. I use feff 8.4. First, I started from inorganic compounds such as CdS. I generated feff.inp file in ATOMS and first run feff with default values (generated by ATOMS). The fit wasn’t perfect so I started to change parameters-FMS and SCF but there was so significant improvement. I can only add that others fit are even worse. My question is which parameter I should change or which card should I add to make XANES calculations better? Maybe you can recommend any paper? The second question is about DOS calculations. I took the pDOS functions for each atom, set Fermi level from ldosNN files, but the main peaks are below this level and I don’t have any correspondence with XANES spectrum. For other compounds I have the same problem. Should I add any extra shift? I will be grateful for your advice. Regards Joanna Czapla I add the original feff.inp file generated by ATOMS: * This feff8 input file was generated by WebAtoms 1.8 (Atoms 3.0beta10) * Atoms written by and copyright (c) Bruce Ravel,
