Question related to save fitting results in Larch
by Andy Zhang 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a question related to saving fitting results in Larch. I wonder if it is possible to save the project file with fitting results, just like the .fpj file in Artemis. In this way, I could save the partially finished work and do it later. Thanks a lot! Best, Harry

Conduction band energy and deltae0
by Melike Babucci 12 Mar '22

12 Mar '22

Dear all, For a reliable comparison of two EXAFS data sets (lets say before and after Cu-doping), which parameters should be kept consant in the first model? I understand that sigma^2 values should be the same in two fittings, and I would see a change in coordination numbers and deltaE0 and deltar after Cu doping. Is that a good approach? Does the new deltaE0 indicate a change in the conduction band energy? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Melike N?r du har kontakt med oss p?

[ifeffit] Intensity difference in XANES
by Chen, Danting 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Dear All, I have been studied Zn XANES and EXAFS for my environmental samples. Due to the unknow Zn speciation in my samples, called ‘A’, I do not have adequate Zn reference materials. I found some Zn reference materials from others work, called ‘B’, and extracted the data from their paper. I found quite similar features, e.g., the location of each peak and bottom. However, the intensity of these peaks or bottoms does not correspond very well. I am guessing that the features of XANES is mainly decided by the bond lengths, ligands and oxidation states of the core atom. The intensity of these features may be influenced by the multiple scattering from the neighbouring atoms beyond the first coordination. Can I conclude that the Zn speciation in my sample ‘A’ has a similar first coordination as other work ‘B’, but the coordination environment beyond the first coordination may be different. I compare their Fourier Transform ‘B’ with my samples ‘A’, and found each peak location correspond well but the intensity is different. I am guessing that their surrounding atoms are heavier than my samples. I am unsure if my explanation. Would you mind providing some suggestions regarding the factors influencing the intensity and also the references for this explanation? I will appreciate your help and many thanks.
