math functions on GDS page
by huyanyun＠physics.utoronto.ca 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi there, When I input math expression in the GDS page, I wonder if Artemis recognizes some general math functions, such as 'sqrt', 'cos', 'sin'. Could anyone help me find a list of all math functions covered in Artemis? Best, Yanyun

Re: [Ifeffit] Artemis and FEFF interaction in fit process
by Nate Turner 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

In an instance of Artemis, the Feff executable is run as needed to make the feffNNNN.dat files. That is, the first time you make a plot or a fit (there are a few other actions that will also trigger this), Artemis will run the Feff executable to make the path that is needed. Thus each path plotted or used in a fit requires a system call. I see, so to be clear if I run FEFF9 and make the feffNNNN.dat paths through it, outside of Artemis, then import the feffNNNN.dat files into Artemis, FEFF6L is still called to when I want to plot or use a path in a fit? Thanks for the quick response. Nate Turner

Artemis and FEFF interaction in fit process
by Nate Turner 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hello All, I have a question about Artemis' interaction with FEFF. I know you can either run FEFF6L in Artemis to populate a paths list or externally create the FEFFnnnn.dat files in FEFF and import them into Artemis. We currently do the later using FEFF9, the use of the SCF card gives a better Eo initial guess and our compound has fractional occupancy/disorder that requires us to do some altering of the atoms list after its populated in ATOMS, which we find best to do outside of Artemis. My question is once these external FEFF9 paths are brought in does Artemis use FEFF6L in the fit process or is FEFF in Artemis only to populate the paths list? If Artemis doesn't use FEFF in the fit process then there's no issue but while I've read the mailing list and seen that many do not believe there is any improvement in the EXAFS results from FEFF6L to FEFF9, I'd rather be consistent in which version of FEFF we use throughout the analysis. I would have Artemis calling to FEFF9 instead of FEFF6L if in fact Artemis does use FEFF in the fit. The reason I haven't gone ahead with having Artemis call to FEFF9 making this a non issue is I'm not sure how. I know you can direct Artemis to whatever version of FEFF you want under preferences, but then I'm not sure what file I need to direct to specifically for FEFF9. So to summarize, Does Artemis use FEFF in the fitting process or is its only function in Artemis to create the paths for the fit? If it does use FEFF in the fitting, how do you/is it possible to have Artemis call to FEFF9 instead of FEFF6L? Thanks all for your time, Nate Turner

importing larch functionality
by Bruce Ravel 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

This: use_plugin_path('xafs') from feffdat import feffpath works as expected. It adds the path to larch's xafs plugins into the search path and imports "feffdat" such that it can be used in the namespace of the plugin I am working on. This fails use_plugin_path('wx') from plotter import newplot, plot with this error message: file <stdin>, line 0 ImportError: cannot import name newplot add_plugin('f85ut') What am I not understanding? newplot (and plot) seem to be exported by wx/plotter.py the same way that feffpath is exported by xafs/feffdat.py.

Meaning of linear combination fit reports
by Jens Kruse 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I doing LCF on my XANES data. I wonder if someone can tell me the meaning of the values in parentheses following the weight value in the Fit results window?. I looked into the respective document section of the Manuel but could not find the answer, yet. I am asking because I did a Fitting with over 20 standards (STD) to find all combination of max 4 standards which describe my unknown sample spectra. This results in a lot of combination with similar chi-square(reduced) and R-values. I know a relative changes between these values are more probably meaningful than absolute values. A lot of the possible combinations provided by after the fit yieled combinations with at lest on STD having a weight of 0.000. (Fit 1). I thought that this would mean, that 3 standards are sufficient to describe the system. However, repeating the fit with only the three standards with weight > 0.0 yielded a complete different proportions (Fit 2). How can this be explain and how should I deal with combinations or standards having a weight of 0.000? Thanks a lot for your thoughts and suggesting, Cheers Paul *Results **Fit 1:* 3: STD3 0.324(0.025) 7: STD7 0.686(0.021) 20: STD2O 0.127(0.016) 27: STD27 0.000(0.036) vs. *Results Fit 2:* 3: STD3 0.473(0.019) 7: STD7 0.620(0.023) 20: STD20 0.000(0.030)

problem of normalization of feff calculation and experimental spectrum
by ZHAN Fei 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hellow,everyone: When the energy range is too short (for instance 60 70 eV,this moment normal normalization in Athena may not be perfect),how to do the normalization of both the feff calculation and experimental spectrum?I want to let feff calculation fit the experiment , so spectrum normalization had better can be express a parameter to be fited,I'm not sure normal edge jump works,anyone have good idea about it ? Thanks, Sincerely, zhanfei
