The most important fitting parameters
by Bridget Ingham 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hi Bruce and Shelly, thanks for your replies. The problem I am encountering is that we know virtually nothing about the crystallography, only the elements that are present. We expect the structure to be quite different to CuWO4, even though this is the stoichiometry obtained. Addressing some of your questions/comments: Shelly: 1) I will try this. In other systems I've tried the second oxygen shells don't contribute significantly, so maybe they are unnecessary and only adding to the uncertainty in the other shells. 2) & 3) As mentioned above, we don't even know this about the structure. But it is worth me having a go at restricting the delr's to relate to CuWO4. I am loathe to do the same with the amplitudes however, as I expect the co-ordination numbers to be completely different. 4) Yes, I ran a CuWO4 standard at the same time. It looks completely different ;) 5) & 6) Thanks for these tips! Bruce: I have kept E0 the same for all shells, hence 13 parameters (4 shells x amp, delr, ss; plus E0). Sorry for not making that clear enough. The data stops at 9 Ang-1 because there seems to be some Zn edge impurity :( I will play around with the constraints a bit more (starting with the CuWO4 standard) and let you know how I get on.

Debian packages of ifeffit and horae
by Carlo Segre 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

It has taken a bit of time but the Debian packages of ifeffit and horae are now uploaded to my apt repository. Note that horae requires a new Perl module to be installed (libtext-glob-per) and so will have to be upgraded expplicitly. Also note that if you are using the "etch" or "sid" versions of the packages, that a new version of pgplot5 will be also installed. This is to correct a serious bug that exists in the Debian version at this time. Thanks to Ken McIvor for fixing this. hopefully a new official Debian version will be coming out soon to fix this officially. The repositories for the various distributions are, as always: # For the stable (sarge) distribution deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sarge binary/ deb-src http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sarge source/ # For the testing (etch) distribution deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/etch binary/ deb-src http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/etch source/ # For the unstable (sid) distribution deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sid binary/ deb-src http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sid source/ Carlo -- Carlo U.

how to creat a chi.dat
by tony vitova 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

Hi, I will be very thankful, if you tell me how to create a chi.dat file with Artemis. My PRINT and CONTROL cards in feff.inp are: CONTROL 1 1 1 1 PRINT 5 1 1 1 I am expecting it to be in D:\Program Files\Ifeffit\horae\stash\artemis.project.3\data0.feff1 but it is not there? Is there another way ...? Thank you very much for the help! Tonya Vitova --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. PC-to-Phone calls for ridiculously low rates.

The most important fitting parameters
by Bridget Ingham 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Dear all, I am trying to use EXAFS, along with other techniques, to attempt to find information about an unknown structure. It is an organic-inorganic hybrid material, EDX reveals Cu1-W1-O4 as the stoichiometry of the inorganic component, which we are most interested in structurally. We have not been able to solve the structure from XRD, although not for want of trying. I started off with CuWO4 as the model compound and constrained the fitting parameters: - take all 1st oxygen shells (x6 at slightly different distances) and give them all amp1, dr1*reff, enot and ss1 - take all 1st copper shells (x2) and give them both amp2, dr2*reff, enot and ss2 - take all 2nd oxygen shells (x6), amp3, dr3*reff, enot, ss3 - take all 1st tungsten shells (x6), amp4, dr4*reff, enot, ss4 This gave me 13 parameters with 14.8 independent points. (Other factors: fitted in kw=2&3, k-range 2-9, used Athena with default background subtraction parameters as the chi(k) from that seemed sensible. The data were collected at SSRL, beamline 11-2, in transmission.) I was happy with the final result (R-factor 0.014), but am just wondering if this is a sensible way to go about doing things - bearing in mind I am not sure of the structure in the first place. Any hints or advice would be much appreciated. I should have collected data at the tungsten edge as well, as it is not that much higher in energy from Cu, but this didn't occur to me until later.

ifeffit 1.2.9 and horae 062
by Bruce Ravel 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Hi everyone, Matt and I are pleased to announce new releases of Ifeffit and horae today. You can find source code for ifeffit 1.2.9 and horae 062 on SourceForge and on the Ifeffit wiki: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80919 http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/Downloads You can also find a new Windows installer at both places. This weighs in a chunky 27 MB, but includes the latest versions of Ifeffit, Athena, Artemis, Hephaestus, and SixPack all installable with a point and a click. OSX and debian users: be patient -- packages for those systems should be following shortly. We do not, at this time, have an updater package to bring a Windows installation of 1.2.8 up to date with the current release. If someone wanted to volunteer to make one, that would be great! We also do not have OSX disk images for Intel hardware. That would be another excellent volunteer effort. As always, report any bugs or other problems to the mailing list AFTER checking in with the FAQ (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/FAQ) Regards, Bruce and Matt -- Bruce Ravel ---------------------------------------------- bravel(a)anl.gov Molecular Environmental Science Group, Building 203, Room E-165 MRCAT, Sector 10, Advanced Photon Source, Building 433, Room B007 Argonne National Laboratory phone and voice mail: (1) 630 252 5033 Argonne IL 60439, USA fax: (1) 630 252 9793 My homepage: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/

XAS School at the APS
by Bruce Ravel 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi folks, We are almost at the application deadline for this summer's XAS school at the APS. Here is the URL: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/xafs_school/ This year's course is July 26-28. This will be an "advanced topics" class. The material covered will be geared toward people who have some background already in XAS and XAS data analysis and wish to sharpen their skills, expand their knowledge, and learn some of the tricks of the trade that the experts use in their own research. If you are interested -- please apply, but do so soon because time is running out!
