Hello, Thank you for your reply. Attached is the CIF file in question. The crystal is Tobermorite 14A, taken from COD website. However, the structure has partial occupancy and it is modified to include full occupancy. The modified CIF file shows a space group of B11b (and cannot be recognized by Artemis). I tried a C1c1 space group (it works) but it shows the same structural values as a P11b.

LCF and XES
by Samy Ould-Chikh 04 Nov '18

04 Nov '18

Dear, I'm trying to perform LCF using Athena for XES data (Kbeta 13) that has been normalized elsewhere. Combinatorics module is the main motivation. However, LCF module in Athena only use norm mu(E), so that the normalization for XAS data proceed and then it's not possible to perform the fitting. Does anyone know a workaround to perform LCF for XES in Athena, or another alternative software as user friendly ? Many Thanks Best Regards, Samy Ould-Chikh KAUST Catalysis Center Bldg.3,Level 4, #4231 4700 King Abdullah University of Science & Technology Thuwal 23955-6900 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Tel: +966 12 8084486 E-mail: samy.ouldchikh(a)kaust.edu.sa<mailto:eman.ahmedbahjri@kaust.edu.sa> Website: http://kcc.kaust.edu.sa/Pages/Home.aspx

Dear Anatoly and Marcus, Thanks for your answers. So in this case, i understood, I shouldn't use the extended XAFS region for the analysis. In the other hand, is it allowed to cut the region till 9150 eV and use the data for the XANES analysis?
