Cancellation of the 19th International XAFS conference in 2025 in Chicago
by Matthew Newville 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi All, Some of you may not have heard this yet. The International X-ray Absorption Society and the Conference organizers have canceled the XAFS19 Conference scheduled for July 14-19, 2025. From Professor Asakura, Chair of the IXAS: Dear all involved with XAFS, As you may know, the 19th International XAFS conference (XAFS 19) was scheduled to occur in Chicago from the 14th to the 19th of July 2025. After considering the many uncertainties with hosting an international conference in the US given the current political climate, the organizer of the 19-XAFS conference proposed its postponement. The IXAS EC voted on the subject and unanimously voted to cancel the 19-XAFS in Chicago in 2025. We appreciate your kind understanding. We will now call for a bid to host the conference next year, XAFS 2026, and we will decide on the new venue and communicate the decision to the community as soon as possible. Please contact the IXAS chair, Kiyotaka Asakura (kytkaskr(a)fc.ritsumei.ac.jp<mailto:kytkaskr@fc.ritsumei.ac.jp>), if you are interested in organizing the XAFS 2026. Thanks. Kiyotaka Asakura IXAS Chair Carlo Segre Chair of the 19-XAFS Also See XAFS19 homepage https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.icdd.com/xafs19/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dg…

Dear Colleagues, I was curious if anyone has XAS spectra for Na2CoP2O7, Li2CoP2O7, NaCoPO4 and LiCoPO4 that you would not mind sharing.

A warning about feff8 vs feff6
by Joshua J. Kas 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

Dear ifeffit community, While doing some fitting of theoretically produced data, we noticed that there are some differences between feff6 and feff8, even when all settings are the same as far as we can tell. This was expected for some parameters such as the E0 shift, since the approximation has changed from feff6 to feff8. However, there is also a difference in the scattering amplitudes. In particular, for the Pt case that we are looking at, the nearest neighbor scattering amplitudes from feff8,9, and 10 are roughly 11/12 the size of the scattering amplitudes from feff6. This likely has something to do with a difference in the prescription to create the muffin-tin potentials, but we haven't tracked down the difference completely. In any case, as found by Bruce Ravel <https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://bruceravel.github.io/SCFtests/scf.html__;… >, differences in physical parameters between feff6 and feff8 are within errors of each other when each code is used consistently. This message is mainly meant to warn people not to mix the two codes when doing analysis. For example, an s02 extracted by fitting data with feff6 cannot be used with a feff8 analysis. -- Joshua Kas (He/Him/His) Research Assistant Professor University of Washington

Question about Air sensitive sample holder
by Helen Chen 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hello, Our group (Jerry Seidler) just started a project involving doing VTC and HERFD on Yb doped CrX3 material. They are thin small crystal sheets and are very air sensitive. We have tried encapsulated them between a layer of laptop tape and film, but after 12hr we see degradation due to air leaks. I am looking for some advice on air sensitive sample holder. What are some typical methods you use to deal with air sensitivity, especially for samples in thin sheets geometry? Thank you

Athena - LCF component export error
by miranda.vu＠lightsource.ca 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Hi, I am having an issue with the export of LCF data in Athena version 0.9.26. When I export the .lcf of files, it will re-order the components without properly re-ordering the associated data columns. The data and components will plot correctly in Athena before exporting. Is this something that can be fixed? Or if not would it be possible for me to get version 0.9.24 if you still have a copy of it? Please let me know if there is any additional information that I can provide. Thanks, Miranda
