Setting ranges in peak fitting
by Kenneth Latham 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Hi Bruce, To clarify this further, I am peak fitting a number of peaks under the carbon edge. For example, I know from the literature that the 1s-p transition for the C=C should be located between 284.5 to 285.5 eV, so I would fit a peak at about 285 eV to start with. I would then move on to fitting additional peaks based on their literature values with what I know about the material/where obvious peaks are in the NEXAFS. The problem now comes when I tell Athena to fit, it will start to move the peaks all over the place to obtain the best fit, typically placing them in locations where functionalities don't appear under the NEXAFS. In other words, it would move peaks away from where I would expect them to be based on the literature. This can be partially stopped by fixing all but one peak, fitting it and then and applying this procedure to every peak multiple times. What I was wondering is if Athena has the ability to set a range that each peak is allowed to move, i.e., the C=C center would be restricted to values between 284.5-285.5 eV. Hence I could set up the ranges and fit quickly based on those.

Plotting chi(k) linear combination fit in energy
by Ellen Daugherty 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hello, I was unable to find an example of this question in the archive, but please let me know if it has already been addressed. I would like to plot the results of linear combination fits performed in chi(k) in energy space to compare them to XANES fits. When I try to plot the saved fit in energy, I get a message saying: "chi data cannot be plotted in energy." Is there any way to do this other than to use Excel to scale the weights of the standards? This would be exhausting to perform for combinatorial fits. I am using Athena in Demeter 0.9.20 on Windows 7. I have attached a sample and a few standards for aid in addressing the issue. Thank you!

Artemis Crashing on Opening Project Files (Windows 7)
by alexander.thoma＠diamond.ac.uk 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hi all, I couldn't seem to find anything like this on the mailing list, I'm having issues reopening saved Artemis (0.9.21) projects on Windows 7, the program opens and runs through the 'importing' text in the bottom left of the control window before shutting down immediately with no error message or warning before any other windows appear. The problem seems to occur sporadically with projects with fits from crystal structures and all the time with those done with quick first shell fits, and doesn't occur with project files where no fits have been made. Attached is the log file for one of the non-opening projects, any suggestions?

Bug report - autosave on mac
by Jean-Baptiste ABBE 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi everybody, I wanted to report a really annoying problem for mac users. I’m running Athena on my laptop, on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) with macports. I had to install also quartzX11 to be able to plot data (without it, it couldn’t find the DISPLAY value), but otherwise evrything went smoothly for a few days. Then the first bug occured. I wasn’t able anymore to select any point on the plotting area to do normalization, I had to set the value in the boxes instead. It was annoying, but I could manage that. But now I have a much more disturbing issue. Athena once crashed, (in the terminal, it was sait « Terminated 15 »), and every time I tried to launch it again, the same thing happens : 1) athena launch, a little bit longer than usual 2) a box appear to give me choice to recover data by importing it from autosave or not 3) I can’t select anaything and the rainbow wheel of death appears. After a few hours, nothing changes… and I have to terminate the programm manually. So I do some search on the internet and found thoses topics on the mailing list, and I tried thoses solutions : https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04539.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04539.html> https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit%40millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04514.h… <https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04514.html> I tried to find the autosave file : nothing I tried to uninstall and reinstall macports : nothing I tried to uninstall macports and install the demeter-devel : nothing In demeter-devel, i tried to modify the athena.demeter_config file, by changing the autosave prompt box value from true to false, and despite being admin on ma mac, I’m not able to change antything in the file. So nothing works at this moment. I will try again other solutions, but I will gladly accept any kind of help to solve my issues. Thank you ABBE J-Baptiste

phase problem copper
by Neeb, Matthias 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Dear all, I have a standard exafs spectrum of copper K-shell and everything looks as expected (Chi(E), Chi(k), Chi(R), Chi(q) …) when using Demeter 0.9.21 . However the phase spectrum of (Chi(q)) appears quite different to literature (e.g. B.K. Teo, Inorganic Chemistry Concepts 9; Martens et al, PRB 17, p1481 (1979), i.e. positive slope, a factor of ~10 larger values on y-axis. Any reason why? Thanks for your answer in advance.

Dear Matt, Thanks for that suggestion. I just got time to work on it again. In the meantime, I noticed your email response to another question of similar nature. It works fine now ! Of course, I have not yet performed any calculations/analysis to see if there are any additional problems (if any). But so far so good.
