Bkg fit in Artemis
by hemantha aranwela 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi All, I like to understand the way how the background fitting is done in Artemis. How the background functions are obtained (or defined)? How do we use the bkg fit in analyzing the data? I have a good idea about how Athena does the bkg reduction. But have no clue in case of Artemis. I would appreciate if somebody can direct me to an article written on this or can give a brief introduction about it. Thanks. Aranwela

iXAFS & python scripting

Hi Matt, Actually we did run . /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin/iff_init.sh (I was just wondering if it was still required). Hopefully the following output will be clearer than my prose. Line 5 in "iff = Ifeffit.Ifeffit()". The problem seems to be access to "/Users/Newville/Codes/ifeffit/local/share/ifeffit" while running Ifeffit.Ifeffit(). Thanks!

Dear I would like to fit the signal from (U0.8Ce0.2)O2, so I tried to put Ce in the same position of U but all atoms generated files give no Ce in the scattering paths and some fitting give negative amplitude values. Could you help me with the Atoms input file? Mohamed

I've seen the same errors on the only system I have access to running 10.5.something: All the executable programs (perl, ifeffit) report the same dyld error. I thought these messages were perhaps because I had built a "universal binary" that included x86_64 and i386, so I rebuilt for i386 but not x86_64, hoping that would solve the problem. But it didn't. I've looked into a little bit more (if anyone knows more, please let me know!!), and believe the issue may be solved by adding compiler flags of -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5u.sdk I have not tried this yet, but will try to get this rebuilt in the next day or two. Sorry for the trouble. FWIW, I still get results I don't understand on PPC, where ifeffit and artemis run but hephaestus are artemis do not.... isn't that amazing? --Matt

iXAFS3.0.2
by Matt Newville 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi All, OK, I put a next attempt for a Mac distribution at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ifeffit/src/iXAFS3.0.2.dmg which should have some improvements. I believe this should work on 10.6 without issue -- I tested it on one other system at work, and everything launched without trouble. The Python module should now install well. With earlier attempts, I still had problems with a 10.5 machine, and suspected something wrong with i386 v x86_64. So I rebuilt everything (including perl) to be for i386 and ppc architectures, but not x86_64. In fact, I noticed some Aquaterm-related issues that also seemed x86_64 v i386, and went back to using (and including in the distribution) the standard issue Aquaterm1.0.1 that has i386 and ppc binaries, but not x86_64. Thus, iXAFS3.0.2 has no x86_64 binaries. For one thing, this makes the image "only" 60Mb. I could not find suitable 10.5 or PowerPC machines at work, but will test later today. For PPC, the iXAFS launcher application is now universal, and runs on PPC (G4) machine. With an earlier incarnation (when x86_64 was still included) I could run the Ifeffit shell and Athena. Unfortunately, both Artemis and Hephaestus failed to load with dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___gcc_gmul Referenced from: ....local/bin/perl Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib Hephaestus showed a splash screen, Artemis did not. I grepped out all the 'use' statements from Hephaestus, and these can all be loaded. In addition, all '*.bundle" files (Perl's binaries) claim to be universal binaries (including ppc). I don't really know what to make of this, but will try again with the latest build. Any feedback on what works and what doesn't would be greatly appreciated.

It is a unique institution in Germany, which combines the mission of a university with that of a large-scale research center of the Helmholtz Association. With 8000 employees and an annual budget of EUR 650 million, KIT is one of the largest research and education institutions worldwide. The Institute for Technical Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry (ICTP) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Southern Germany has an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Operando Spectroscopy for in situ characterization of heterogeneous catalysts in our catalysis laboratories at synchrotron radiation sources. Are you interested to work at the interface of physical chemistry and questions relevant to catalysis? The position is focused on the physico-chemical characterization of catalysts, mainly the identification and characterization of the active catalytic sites by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy in combination with other spectroscopic methods like UV/Vis, FTIR and Raman techniques. The development of spectroscopic measurement cells as well as the realization of the according infrastructure are highly relevant for this work, which will be conducted in close cooperation with synchrotron radiation facilities such as ANKA (Karlsruhe), DESY (Hamburg), ESRF (Grenoble), and SLS (Switzerland). A PhD in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering or a related scientific field is a prerequisite for this position. Knowledge and experience with spectroscopic methods, mainly X-ray absorption in combination with other techniques, in catalysis is mandatory.

iXAFS3.0 - not much luck so far
by Brugger, Joel (SAM) 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi Matt, Not much luck with iXAFS3.0 so far. Under 10.5.8 (two macbooks), iXAFS crashes at startup. Under 10.6.4 (macbook pro), IXAFS opens, but clicking on athena/Artemis/Hephaestus only opens an X11 terminal. I think that somehow the installer expects perl to live in /Users/Newville/: $ pwd /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin b$ artemis -bash: /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin/artemis: /Users/Newville/Codes/ifeffit/local//bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory $ I also tried to install python, but something must be wrong with setup.py since files are copied to /Users/Newville. I now have such an inhabitant on my HD thanks to sudo, but even then the install failed. See details below. Hope it’s nothing traumatic!

Re: [Ifeffit] XANES calculation
by Joshua Kas 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Hi Jeong Eun Suk, FEFF doesn't use basis functions. There is a truncation in angular momentum, but the XANES is calculated by first calculating the Green's function using multiple scattering theory. The Green's function is expanded in terms of an angular momentum basis about each atom, and radial solutions are numerical. Muffin tin potentials are used in FEFF8 and there is no option for full potential calculations at present. For more information on multiple scattering theory, see for example Multiple scattering in solids By Antonios Gonis, or Theoretical approaches to x-ray absorption fine structure<http://rmp.aps.org/abstract/RMP/v72/i3/p621_1> J.
