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.

Trouble with MacOS 10.14 Mojave
by christophe den auwer 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

Hi all, I have to re-install Demeter on my Mojave MacBook (version 10.14.5). X code version 10.2.1 Well it didn't totally worked out…. When I launch either Athena or Artemis, this is what I get (bellow). I also notice I have a new « opt » directory directly on the hard disk (this seems a strange location). Does anybody have an idea about that ? Thanks a lot for your help Christophe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christophe Den Auwer Professeur Université Côte d’Azur Institut de Chimie de Nice Parc Valrose 06108 Nice, France christophe.denauwer(a)univ-cotedazur.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitting in Wavelet transform space ?
by Samy Ould-Chikh 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Dear colleagues, I have been using more and more wavelet transform in parallel of EXAFS fitting. In addition of the statistical parameters provided after the fit, I try also to compare the wavelet transform of experimental data against various structural models to choose the best. Absolutely nothing new here. After applying the wavelet transform to tens of structural model in a row which was bit long, I asked myself this question: Why can't we simply fit the experimental spectra in "wavelet space" instead of R space/k-space ? Does someone know about a code already doing it ?

Dear people I tried to install demeter on computer with ubuntu 18.04. I ve found the Deavd Hughes guide to demeter installation on Ubuntu 12.04 There are some differencies and I tried to follow everything. Well, everything seem to be installed, but when I run dathena, i have the following error message opd30@joconde:~/demeter$ ./bin/dathena Can't locate Demeter/Here.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Demeter::Here module) (@INC contains: /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5/5.26.1/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5/5.26.1 /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64- linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26 /usr/share/perl/5.26 /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5/5.26.0 /home/opd30/perl5/lib/perl5/5.26.0/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at ./bin/dathena line 7.

Inversion Degree
by Carlos Triana Estupinan 06 Jul '19

06 Jul '19

Dear All Dear I have EXAFS spectra for spinel Co3O4, and I have to determine the inversion degree X, or the cation distribution of Co at the octaedral and tetraedrical sites. The EXAFS fitting can be performed employing two clusters of atoms, one having the absorbing atom in tetrahedral site and one having the absorbing atom in octahedral site. However, I do not know how to exactly determine the fraction of cations in octahedral or tetraedral sites from fitting the spectra with two sites independently. Could you please tell me how exactly should I proced, can I define a EXAFS fitting parameter giving me the cation distribution of Co at the octaedral and tetraedrical sites. If so, how can I do it. Thanks and best regards, -- *Carlos Augusto Triana Estupiñan* * M.Sc. Sciences - **Physics* *Physicist* * Tel: +57 322 256-2309*

Postdoctoral position is available
by Anatoly Frenkel 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Dear mailing list subscribers, There is an opening for a postdoctoral research associate position, described briefly below (for more details please contact me). A postdoc will investigate novel electromechanical materials using NSLS-II beamline facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory, with primary technique being X-ray absorption fine structure. This position will be in Stony Brook University (located in close proximity to Brookhaven), under the supervision of Prof. Anatoly Frenkel. Responsibilities will include setting up new in situ operations for testing novel materials under applied electric field, developing and applying fast timing methods (such as modulation excitation spectroscopy), and collaborating with other participants of the NSF-BSF funded US-Israel collaboration. Annual trips to Israel for collaborative research will be required. Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science, and strong knowledge of XAFS experiment, data analysis and modeling, documented in publications, are required. Three names of professional references are required with the applications that should include a cover letter describing relevant prior experience and interest in the position, and a CV with a list of publications. These materials should be emailed to anatoly.frenkel(a)stonybrook.edu with a subject line: XAFS postdoc position. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Anatoly I.
