Re: [Ifeffit] Launching Athena on Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8)
by Kyler Carroll 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hello, I had posted a comment/question a few months back when I had initially installed Mountain Lion on my mac regarding iXAFS compatibility with XQuartz and the new OS not supporting X11 anymore. Since then I have received a few comments back and I found one solution to be the best. This was originally sent by Tsu-Chien Weng from SSRL (tsuchien(a)slac.stanford.edu) Please find the following solution below. Once you install XQuartz the rest will be done in the Terminal.app. This is a one time solution and I havent had any trouble thus far with the program. Hope this works as well for everyone else as it did for me. 1. Install XQuartz from <http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/> 2. open Terminal.app 3. cd /Applications/Utilities 4. sudo mkdir X11.app 5. cd X11.app 6. sudo ln -s ../XQuartz.app/Contents Thank you, Kyler J.

anisotropic Debye temperatures in reciprocal-space calculations
by Van Der Veen, Renske M. 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Dear FEFF users! I am looking into the use of the DEBYE card in order to calculate the EELS spectrum of graphite at ~800 K. Obviously, graphite is highly anisotropic, such that it would be unphysical to use a single Debye temperature. However, the effective in-plane (a,b axes) and out-of-plane (c axis) Debye temperatures are known for graphite (2500 and 950 K, respectively). I was therefore wondering whether it is possible in FEFF9 to specify two Debye temperatures for the two different crystallographic directions. I am calculating the (oriented) EELS spectrum of graphite in reciprocal space using the RECIPROCAL, LATTICE and ATOMS cards; see feff.inp file below. I am using FEFF version 9.05. In case the use of Debye temperatures is not possible in this way, could anybody recommend another way to take into account the Debye-Waller factors for an anisotropic material such as graphite?

Possible bug in atoms files generation by Artemis
by Devender 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi, I ran updater for Demeter 0.9.15. I was using Artemis to calculate paths for Bi L3 in Bi2Te3. I saw now the option of using both (FEFF 6 and FEFF 8 style) for atoms. Previously, I was using only available option of FEFF6 style. When I tried to run atoms selecting FEFF 8, it generated atoms files but when I tried to run FEFF calculations it produced following errors. Error#1 " Unknown keyword: "EDGE" at line: EDGE L3" Error#2 "Unknown keyword: "exchange" at line: exchange" I worked around first error by replacing "EDGE L3 S02 1.0 "- which was generated by atoms when FEFF8 style is selected. with "HOLE 4 1.0" and deleting Exchange keyword from feff file. After making these edits in feff files, I was able to run FEFF without showing any errors. I have attached all the files with appropriate name. -- Devender Graduate Student, Materials Science and Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY Website <https://sites.google.com/site/devendermaun/>

Shifted data in Athena
by George Sterbinsky 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hello, I have attached an (D)Athena project with containing two groups, imported as a primary data set and a reference. The groups were therefore imported on the same energy grid. However, when plotted, the energy values of the data points for the two groups are clearly shifted with respect to each other. Can someone please explain the origin of this shift? Thank you, George

generating high res figures
by Eva Vanamee 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi, I'm in the happy stages of making figures. I'd like to know how to change figure legends, make high resolution figures from a fit, etc. For instance: I saved the session file. Can I go back to a particular fit to make a figure or do I need to rerun it? Can I change the figure legends? I used sample 1 and I want to give it a different name Can I use special characters (e.g. Greek letters)? Can I adjust the resolution for different formats (talk vs. publication)? I am running Demeter 0.9.9.9 under XP. Thanks in advance for the help! - Eva

Hi Jeff, Hope it's OK, but I'm CCing this to the ifeffit mailing list.

Reduced chi square values versus F-tests for second shell fits
by Matt Siebecker 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear All, Would it be recommended to compare reduced chi square (RCS) values from the fit of the second shell only? While fitting the second shell only, the differences between RCS values of different models can be greater than when including both the first and second shells in the fit. For example, the RCS values of model 1 and model 2 for fits of the first and second shells versus just the second shell are 45 and 18, and then 60 and 17, respectively. This to me indicates that fitting the second shell separately from the first gave me a slightly better description of the misfit in that R-range. Regardless of the fitting range the RCS values say model 2 improves the fit significantly. However, if I use an F-test to compare models while fitting the second shell only, I’ve found that the difference between the models is actually less important than when including both the first and second shells in the fit. For examples, the F-test values of model 1 versus model 2 for fits of the first and second shell versus just the second shell are P=0.047 and then P=0.113, respectively. This is perhaps caused by the small R-range and hence decreased Nind when fitting the second shell only. However, it also indicates to me that the F-test says perhaps one fitting model is not such an improvement on the fit as I thought it was based purely on the decrease in RCS value. I assume significant decreases in RCS values to be about >2x, and P <0.05 for the F-test. Should RCS values and F-tests for comparing fitting models only be used when fitting two shells together or can they be used when just fitting the second shell? Kind regards, Matt Siebecker

Core-Shell Spectroscopy session at Denver X-Ray Conference
by Carlo Segre 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hello All: This year we will once again have a core-shell spectroscopy session at the Denver X-ray Conference. The conference web site is http://www.dxcicdd.com/13/index.htm The conference organizers are accepting abstracts for talks and posters until April 5, 2013 (the web page says that submission is closed but it is really open for this specific session). Bruce Ravel and I are organizing the session and we would like to encourage you to submit your abstracts for talks and posters as soon as possible so that we can keep a yearly meeting where our community can present talks in North America. Denver is a nice centrally located venue where students can easily drive in from many places in North America (certainly from Chicago!) and save some travel costs. There are special student registration rates and there are also funds which students may apply for to defray expenses. I hope that you will participate and encourage your collegues in the field to do so as well. Carlo -- Carlo U.
