Bond length to ATOM conversion
by Nicholas.Tse＠csiro.au 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

G'day Listed Members, Does anyone know how to convert bond length and bond angles into Cartesian coordinates to input into ATOM in Artemis. The space group is number 176 a P63/m (ie hexagonal dipyramidal) with a a=b=6.3 A, c=3.6 A. Apical Equatorial M-O2 M-O1 O1-O2 O1-O2 O2-O2 O1-M-O2 O1-M-O2 O2-M-O2 Gd(OH)3 2.462(3) 2.465(4) 2.910(6) 2.761(7) 2.879(8) 72.4(1) 68.18(6) 71.6(1) * G. W. Beall and W. O. Milligan, J. Inorg. Nucl. Chem., 1977, vol 39, 65-70 I am currently trying to set up a FEFF file for Gd(OH)3 Sincerely yours, Nicholas

Re: [Ifeffit] Scripting - Python

Hi Andrew, Hmm, not sure what's going on. It worked for me on one system, but I'll try this on another machine later today. I think the key is to have the folder with ifeffit_12.dll in your PATH. You say you had to edit the use_ifeffit.bat file -- did this have the incorrect paths? A reasonable workaround (and perhaps the distribution should do this) is to copy the dll to C:\Python27\DLL. The trouble with that is that many of the PGPLOT environmental variables might not be set correctly.... but that just means plotting won't work, which might be acceptaable. -Matt On Jul 14, 2011 9:59 AM, "Andrew Korinda" <a-korinda(a)northwestern.edu> wrote:

Re: [Ifeffit] Opening SSRL data in Athena

Actually, Athena can open binary SSRL files--I just successfully opened one of Lia's files in Athena. Here's what I did: Under Settings, choose Plugin registry. Check the SSRLB box. From there, it opened fine. Does trying that work for you, Lia? I am using Athena 0.8.061 on a Mac running OS 10.5.8. --Scott Calvin Sarah Lawrence College On Jul 7, 2011, at 6:20 PM, Wayne W Lukens Jr wrote: > Hi Lia, > > Those are binary files from SSRL, which athena cannot open.

> Hi Julia, I have also encountered the same problem while analysing the data from SSRL. I can suggest you what I tried and got my data read by Athena. Go to the Setting pannel of the Athena window and then click on Plugin Registry. You will see all types of data format there, then you can check your data format there. Then, you can import your data. Abhijeet Gaur Research Scholar School of Studies in Physics Vikram University Ujjain, India Hello Everyone, I have a question about using Athena to analyze data taken at SSRL beam line 11-2. I can't seem to open the files, a message pops up saying it 'could not be read by ifeffit as a data file'. I have looked around these message threads and in the athena users guide but there doesn't seem to be any information on it. The users guide goes through choosing different data columns and if there is a header or not, but I can't open the data as some sort of text file to see how it is organized. I'm sure its just importing it differently or checking a box or something silly like that, but I would appreciate any guidance. Thank you very much, Lia >

Hey julia, Check the namespace of your SSRL plugins. They should be located at C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\share\perl\Ifeffit\Plugins\Filetype\Athena and they are called SSRLA.pm and SSRLB.pm. You can open the files with notepad. Check if the 1st line (package name, e.g. package Ifeffit::Plugins::Filetype::Athena::SSRLA;) reflects the plugin filename. So the last word has to be SSRLA and SSRLB for respectively SSRLA.pm and SSRLB.pm. If this is not the case , change accordingly. Hope this solves your problem.

request for In metal spectrum
by Brandon Reese 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hello list members, Does anyone have a scan of In metal taken at room temperature? I need the absorption edge and the EXAFS region, preferably up to 10 1/A or so. There are some potential issues with the spectra I have collected, and I would an independent measurement to compare with mine. Thanks Brandon Reese

FEFF input files
by Bernt Johannessen 04 Jul '11

Dear All, I am looking at using Artemis ("Theory"; "New Atoms page") to create FEFF input files for Gd and Gd2O3. I believe I have got the Gd parameters right: Space group 194 a=b=3.636,c=5.7826 alpha=beta=90,gamma=120 Gd: X=Y=Z=0 And it does give me reasonable paths in the end to work with (see below FEFF.inp file) The Gd2O3 is trickier (space group 206, a=b=c=10.8(?), alpha=beta=gamma=0): How do I determine the X,Y,Z coordinates for the relevant atoms?

Dear colleagues, after I selected in Arthemis "write special output feff8", I had a problem to run this feff8 file (feff.inp) (see please the attached file). I get the following error: Feff 6L.02 Unknown keyword: "EDGE" at line: EDGE L3 See FEFF document for valid keywords. Fatal Error: at RDINP. Could you please help me? Thanks in advance.

Fitting bond lengths without a known FEFF file
by Hana 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Dear list experts, Here is another challenging question for me; can someone help? I have soil samples, trying to fit the first shell, I have 3 different optional bond lengths, which might give a lot of information. Now I have two questions: 1. If I do not know of specific structure (XRD implies a very amorphous material), so no specific FEFF file that I can use. what would be my way to determine the parameters for IFEFFIT (Deg, Reff, amp,...)? 2. Is there any option to fit the 3 bond lengths together (no dependency that I can think of...)? Should I fit all pairs, then accordingly assume one component; 'set' it and fit the other two as fractions of 1 (N+(1-N)? Thanks!!
