Problem with running Demeter
by Amitava D Roy 02 May '13

Hi Matt/Alexander/Chris, Thanks for all the suggestions. The fix wasn't as drastic as re-installation of the operating system, system restore on Windows 7 did the job. What I did was quite stupid. I will be more careful next time. Thanks, Amitava Amitava Roy J. Bennett Johnston, Sr., Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70806

Dear Amativa, Bruce is right, Ccleaner messed up your system and, unfortunately, beyond repair. Ccleaner promises indeed to remove unused DLL's from your system but is very bad at guessing which DLL's are really obsolete and has a tendency to assume DLL's are unused instead of playing it safe. Therefore, this piece of software needs to be handled by an expert hand, or you butcher your system as you seem to have done. I know this because I made the exact same mistake 16 years ago after which my windows 98 didn't even boot up anymore, so I'm even surprised your pc is still running. The solution to this problem? Complete reinstallation of your OS, trying to manually repair is very complicated and time consuming. You will probably run into similar problems with other applications as well because of missing DLL's. regards, Alexander -- dr. ir.

Problem with running Demeter
by Amitava D Roy 01 May '13

01 May '13

Dear Bruce, I am having this strange problem since I used CC Cleaner to clean up my computer. (This may be coincidental.) [cid:image001.jpg@01CE466F.10C0D470] The following is the output of the dartemis.log file: Can't load 'C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Wx/Wx.dll' for module Wx: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at C:/strawberry/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Wx/Perl/SplashFast.pm line 60 Compilation failed in require at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dartemis.bat line 23. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dartemis.bat line 23. I have uninstalled and installed Demeter several times but the problem remains the same. This happened just when I needed to use Demeter the most. Thanks in advance, Amitava Roy J.

Problem running JFEFF/FEFF9 on Windows 7
by Ross Devol 01 May '13

01 May '13

I'm a new FEFF user, and I installed JFEFF and FEFF 9 on a computer with Windows 7. I can load feff.inp files into JFEFF just fine, but when I click "Save & Run," the Run window is blank and never shows any output. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks, Ross DeVol University of Wisconsin - Madison

ATOMS: Partial occupancies -how to edit .cif File
by Sanwald, Kai 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi, I would like to fit the NiFe2O4 spinel structure to EXAFS data of mixed Ni/Fe-(hydro)xide films. However, ATOMS cannot deal with structures exhibiting crystal sites with partial occupancies. I know that this problem has been adressed to some extent on the mailing-list already in May 2012 (see http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2012-May/010544.html) and Bruce Ravel shortly outlined how to edit the .cif file in order to run ATOMS and FEFF6. Attached you find the NiFe2O4.cif file that I like to employ. I tried the following: 1. changed occupancy from 0.5 to 1 in line Ni1 Ni2+ 16 d 0.625 0.625 0.625 . 0.5 0 2. subsequently deleted line Fe2 Fe3+ 16 d 0.625 0.625 0.625 . 0.5 0 I got rid of the ATOMS warning concerning the partial occupancy but FEFF6 crashes due to atoms being postioned too closely to each other. I am pretty sure that my editing resulted in a change of the structure. I would be very glad if someone could explain to me in some detail how I need to edit the .cif. Thank you very much for your help. Best, Kai

background removal - spline range kmin
by Reagen Lan 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Dear all, For removing the background from a spec with sharp white-line, I understand it is often to put larger value for kmin of Spline range in Athena. However, in my current case, there is a intensive XANES peak at c.a. 16ev after the white-line peak. Thus, should I input kmin in between these two peaks (see attached figure test1.png)? or increase kmin to avoid the second strong peak(attached figure test2.png)? The two conditions do give different chi(R). Please could some body advise? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Zhipeng

The definition and briefer explanations are also given in several of the tutorials on http://xafs.org/Tutorials. Thanks for reminding me to put this and related information into the Larch documentation! --Matt

Hi, I am a research student and relatively new to XAFS. I have soft X-Ray L-edge data of Mn and Ni. Is it possible to process this data in Athena and then fit in Artemis like usual K-edge data? Thanks -- Shoaib

ifeffit on Mac OS X
by Frank Schima 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello list, I have created a port of ifeffit [1] on Macports [2] so that you can easily install ifeffit on Mac OS X. I have only run this myself on Mountain Lion (10.8), but I believe it built successfully on the Lion and Snow Leopard buildbots - so it should work there too. If anyone is interested in trying it, it is a two step process. 1. Install Macports [3]. 2. From a terminal window type the following: sudo port install ifeffit Feedback about how it runs would be appreciated. Cheers! Frank [1] <http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=ifeffit> [2] <http://www.macports.org> [3] <http://www.macports.org/install.php>
