LBNL Postdoctoral Fellow position
by Corwin H. Booth 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Greetings all! I have just posted for a new Postdoctoral Fellow position to work with me at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on projects within the Actinide Chemistry Group here and in collaboration with scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Most of the work is to perform and analyze XAFS data, although there will also be work on resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and potentially other spectroscopies. The focus will be on various plutonium-bearing materials, including metals, oxides and minerals. Please take a look at the official posting and apply if you are interested and meet the minimum qualifications. Here is the posting: https://lbl.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/chemist-postdoctoral-fellow-921 <https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=85262> Best, Corwin -- Corwin H.

Prolems with JFEFF on Windows 7.
by Szymon Kucharczyk 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Dear Sir or Madam. I am new user or JFEFF 9.6.4, which I use doing my dissertation in Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN in Cracow. I use Windows 7 Professional N and I have problems with JFEFF. Therefore I can open files in It, but when I try to Save&Run there are some errors. I attached a screenshot with errors showed in command window in attachment. I tried to solve this by instaling different versions of JAVA, runnig as an admin and also check whether It is not my antivirus, but none of them helped. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Szymon Kucharczyk.

Restrain

Thanks for reply, yes i have to take care of such things. But let me confined us within the limit, suppose the single scattering path is absorber (Cu) to Cu and multi scattering path is absorber to oxygen then back to absorber (forward scattering) and other one is absorber to oxygen then oxygen to Cu and then back to absorber, All of these have same Reff. So my question is can use the same delt_r for all of these path in which only Cu and O take place. If all of these are different then how? Thanks in advance

Hi all, i have query regarding restrain. suppose i have single scattering path which is equal to lattice parameter. Now i also have multi-scattering path with Reff equal to the same single scattering path. Now my question is, Is it correct to constraint the all path of same reff to equal delt_r, Because i think in magnitude they must lie on same R but different in phase (different frequency component). thanks -- ** *A.

Decision of Enot and model
by ABDUL AHAD 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

hi all, i have some questions to experts. if i have cif file to any compound say ZnO and i fitted the exafs data with it. Now the question is if i wish to fit the doped ZnO with the same cif and the same Enot then it shows large value of delta to fit. The question is have i look for different Enot or i have to change the cif for the doped one. Note i m talking about the main peak fit that only contain the Zn and O not the doped element. Is there any limit of delta for bond length? i think it should be small. Thanks in advance -- ** *A.

Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak
by Disha Gupta 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Dear Claudia, Qingying Jia, Matt Thank you so much for your responses :) The shift in bond length I see is almost around 0.1-0.12 Angstrom, which is not small enough to ignore. I think the coordination might be changing, if not the oxidation state. I will redo the Artemis calculations with N as a variable again to see if that helps. Because keeping my N constant actually gave me pretty low Debye-Waller values and R factor was also below 5% so I was assuming the fits were reliable. I was also thinking maybe Mn is undergoing partial oxidation, however, in bulk we do not see that change in the main XANES absorption peak. I am not sure if that can be a possibility. Thanks a lot again!

Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak
by Disha Gupta 11 Jun '18

Dear Dr Carlo The edges are almost identical. The pre-edge intensity change isn't that significant I feel. I did the Artemis fittings with the coordination numbers fixed. Maybe I can try varying the coordination numbers and see if it gives a different result. I have attached the images of the pre-edge and main peak. Thanks and Regards Disha From: Carlo Segre <segre(a)iit.edu> Date: Mon, Jun 11, 2018, 12:34 Subject: Re: [Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak To: XAFS Analysis using Ifeffit <ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov> Hi Disha: it would be good to see the XANES you are referring to. Are the edges identical or do they change but not shift significantly? Is the coordination number also constant? Generally, the bond distance will change with oxidation state if the coordination number is constant but if the coordination number changes, then there could be a change in bond length too.

Demeter on Windows 10 does not work

Dear all, I've just changed my loving Windows-7 to the new Windows-10. I've installed Demeter (v.0.9.26, 64-bit), but it does not work: cmd-Windows appears for the a couple of seconds and disappears forever. Is it already known problem of the OS? Sorry, may be this question already appeared here, I just missed it.

No shift in XANES absorption peak
by Disha Gupta 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Dear All Firstly, I would like to say sorry if I have missed out on this discussion before but it would be great if you could help me out. I have been analyzing some Mn K-edge XAS data for some battery materials. While the XANES data shows no shift in the main absorption peak which means that there is no oxidation change happening, however, when I am fitting the data in Artemis, I can see a shift in the bond lengths suggesting an oxidation change. Is it possible that bond lengths change even though XANES spectra show no change? Thank you and Kind Regards Disha

Interpreting old XANES data with missing standards
by Don Baker 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Hello All, First let me apologize if the question below is inappropriate for this group, but I don't know of a better set of experts that I can ask. So, here is some background: I have some old S K-edge XANES data from NSLS X15B for S-bearing silicate glasses that was collected by a Ph.D. student who decided to leave for a good job rather than finishing their degree. During my current sabbatical year I have been looking at the data and reading papers on the topic. I think that I now understand, at least qualitatively, the changes in the spectra as a function of iron concentration in the glasses, but to perform quantitative modelling I need XANES spectra of MgS and CaS, which we did not think to collect all those years ago. I have searched for XANES spectra of MgS and CaS on the CARS XAFS Data Library and on the XAFS Database at IIT without success. I am unaware of other databases available. Now for for my questions: 1. Does anyone know of a XANES database that contains MgS and CaS spectra? (Or did I miss it in the databases I searched?) 2. If I cannot find measured MgS and CaS spectra, what do you think about using calculated spectra (e.g., Zheng et al.,2012, NPJ Computational Materials, 12 -- which uses FEFF) for quantitative modelling? And information, ideas, and suggestions that you may have will be appreciated. Wishing you all the best from a spring morning in Montreal, Don -- Melting rocks today for a better tomorrow . . .
