Re: [Ifeffit] Launching Athena on Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8)
by Kyler Carroll 04 Dec '14

04 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.

Atoms and Feff for CuFe2O4 structure
by Qasim Imtiaz 04 May '14

04 May '14

Dear all, I am using Atoms to calculate a Feff input file for CuFe2O4 spinel. However running Atoms/Feff results in program crash owing to 'two atoms very close together'. I modified the .cif file before importing (owing to partial occupancy issue) as following: Deleted: Fe2 Fe3+ 8 d 0.5 0.25 0.125 . 0.5 0 Modified: Cu1 Cu2+ 8 d 0.5 0.25 0.125 . 0.5 0 to Cu1 Cu2+ 8 d 0.5 0.25 0.125 . 1 0 After importing the file in Atoms, I also used different shift vectors (e.g. -0.125 -0.125 -0.125) but the issue is not resolved. Can someone help me please to solve this problem? Thanks. Best Regards Qasim

Possible bug in fitting
by Ditty Dixon 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hello IFEFFIT users, I am working on LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials, I am pretty sure that some of you already worked on it. On the first look, a multiple edge analysis on both Ni and Mn is interesting; however it’s not that straight forward due to multiple phase and oxidation states. I started doing multiple edge fit, but I gave up briefly. Then I did individual edge analysis and obtained some values. Looking at both edges my Ni fit looks good. So I thought of taking the Ni-Mn bond distance as well as DW factor value to Mn edge and set this value for my Mn-Ni paths. However it seems like this value is further evaluated in the fit and giving a new value. Can someone reproduce this, please see the project file and the Log file attached, Is it a possible bug or am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Ditty -- Ditty Dixon, Anorganische Chemie Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Kaiserstr 12 Karlsruhe, Germany Ph no: 004972160848093

Rendering of windows in Artemis and transferring paths from feff calculation
by Alison Tebo 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hi All, I am running Demeter 0.9.18 installed on a Mac 10.6.8 via the (very helpful!) Macports port. I've had nearly no problems with processing my data, but Artemis appears very strange. Most of the button can't be seen and are black instead (I've attached a screenshot). The bigger problem is that once I run a Feff calculation, I can't seem to transfer the paths from the Feff Window into the Data Window (see second screenshot). The program seems to think it's doing it--there are no error messages in the log and it even makes the little graphic as it 'grabs' the path--but it never transfers it over to the Data Window. I have attached a project file where I get this error, the feff input file that I run the calculation on, and two screenshots of what Artemis looks like for me. I don't think the input and project file matter much since this happens for me even with examples from the various courses Bruce has given. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Alison

I am just now going through the tutorials for Artemis (from the 2011 Diamond Light Source course), so I am by no means familiar with Artemis, but I am seeing the same black buttons. I am running Demeter 0.9.18 from MacPorts, on a Mac 10.8.5, and I don't think I have ever played with the color theme. I can't speak about the feff transferring paths issue (yet). (In the ifeffit mailing list digest I can't seem to see Alison's screenshot, but what I see sounds the same.) Martha W.

D-ARTEMIS
by JOLLIVET Patrick 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Dear Dr Ravel, In the previous version of ARTEMIS, it was possible to separately do FEFF calculations (with FEFF7, FEFF8 or FEFF9) and then to import all paths or one by one in ARTEMIS (theory menu) to fit the experimental data. Is it still possible with the new version D-ARTEMIS ? If yes, how to proceed to do that because I did not manage to do it. Thank you for your answer. Sincerely yours

possible bug in Atoms
by Matt Frith 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear All, I think I may have found a possible bug with the stand-alone version of (D) Atoms. If I generate an inp file in atoms, save it and then try and run feff on it later, Atoms crashes without attempting the calculation. However, if I load that same input file in (D)Artemis it will run feff without crashing. Stand-alone atoms will also fail if I generate the input file in Artemis, save it and then try and later open it using Atoms. Only Atoms or Artemis is open at a time, This problem is occurring on both 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 computers running the current (0.9.18.2) package. The problem occurred using 0.9.17 also. Any ideas of why I am all of a sudden having this issue when it has not been a problem before? The cif file, inp file, and atoms log file are all attached. Sincerely, Matt Frith

Artemis Feature Request
by Shelly Kelly 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Bruce: Does Artemis have the ability to save the path list information in a format similar to the old intrp.dat file to disk? Seems like this feature could go on the "export" button on the Atoms tab. Or it might also belong on the "Save calc" on the Paths tab. This button gave me a feff.yaml file that I don't know how to open, maybe it is in there? Thank-you for considering this suggestion.
