Hello everyone, would anybody have a reference XANES spectrum of Se in Selenocysteine or of Se in bacteria ? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Atoms with Z bigger than 94 are missing
by Kathy Dardenne 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Hello, I just notice that feff6 in Athena from the last versions of Demeter (including the 0.9.26) did not accept Z value above 94 (Pu) anymore. I wanted to fit AM L3 data and got error message from FEFF that it was not possible. Changing Am Z to 94 solves the problem. Is it possible to get Am (Z=95) and Cm (Z=96) implemented in feff again? I am aware that using Z=94 for simulation of Am and Cm will likely yields similar results, by just replacing the Z in the atom output. But if it is possible without too much effort it will be nice to have. Thanks a lot. Cheers Kathy Dardenne

EXAFS fitting for regular & distorted monoclinic
by Ashwani Kumar 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hello everyone, I am new to the mailing list. i am Fitting data of regular and distorted ( from irradiation) NBS glass doped with Hafnium. Literature available Hafnia (monoclinic) data is taken as standard model to fit the data (monoclinic) of regular glass. Now i want to fit the distorted glass data with exafs result of regular glass data as standard model. or will it be ok , to also fit the distorted glass data with hafnia as standard model. . thanks A kumar

Cannot update Demeter to version 0.9.26 in MacPorts
by Fowler, Joseph W. (Assoc) 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hi Bruce, I’m posing this question to you in front of the whole mailing list, just in case someone out there can help us both. As you know, I’m the official Macports maintainer of the port demeter, in spite of my near-complete ignorance of how either Perl or Macports work. In February, I filed a Macports ticket to make their preferred perl (5.26) work with Demeter 0.9.25. It was a simple matter of adding the “-I.” argument, as you pointed out to me. They pulled my changes, or whatever they do over there. My next step is to update the Macports package information to upgrade from Demeter 0.9.25 to 0.9.26. I am having a problem when I try to build Demeter 0.9.26, however. The “./Build install” command says it cannot find or copy ‘src/Ifeffit.dylib’. Do the following give you any clues about why that might be? This might be too little information, but as you said, “ask early”. The following text shows how it goes when I try to build within the macports structure. I get the same error, though, when I clone the git repository, cd into it, run “perl -I. Build.PL”, and then try to run “sudo ./Build install”. It looks as if somehow an ifeffit directory variable is not being initialized properly in line 308 of DemeterBuilder.pm. If you or anyone can help me to solve this problem, then I ought to be able to change the Macports port to provide Demeter 0.9.26. Many thanks.

Phase shift
by Julian Ehwald 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Dear all, I have a very general question about the phase shift. I tried to fit a rather noisy sample of Li2IrO3, where I get a first main peak around 1 angstroem, according to FEFF calculation there should be something at 1.9 and not any closer. This phase shift seems a bit too big to be true, is there something like an upper bound for a reasonable phase shift? Best, Julian

Artemis Error
by Lê Ngọc Chính 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Dear Demeter developer I have some trouble when using artemis. I have used artemis normally on windows 10, but recently I can't use it anymore. The error message appears after I click "FIT" button. I also have tried re-install the software, but nothing happened. Please provide me the way to fix it. Thank you so much -- Chính

Directory path in Larch
by Imad Ahmed 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Hi Matt, I have a question about the working directory of Larch. So, as I run Larch from command line (OS=Unix), the default WD is the .larch/modules and that in anaconda, in which case running a Larch script means that I have to provide its full path. I wonder if there is a way to change the WD into the current project folder? Running *.lar is not a problem but is a rather less convenient. However, directing Larch to project directory seems important so that to avoid typing full path of data files within the *.lar script. ps. feffrunner.py allows flexible subfolder path but it assumes that the *.inp is located in that same folder. It would be helpful if the path of the *.inp can be allowed to vary, this would help organising project files into subfolders. Best wishes, Imad

With some small modifications, your scaript can become a valid Larch script like this: # larch from os.path import join, expanduser fname = join(expanduser(‘~'), '/xraylarch/examples/feffit/feff0001.dat') path1 = feffpath(fname) path2chi(path1) show(path1) newplot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, xlabel=r' $ k \rm\, (\AA^{-1})$', ylabel=r'$ k^2\chi(k)$', label = r'$\sigma^2 = 0$', show_legend=True, title=r'$\chi(k)$ from %s' % fname) path1.sigma2 = 0.002 path2chi(path1) plot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, label = r'$\sigma^2 = 0.002$') To do that from Python is a bit more involved. Each of the functions "feffpath", "path2chi", "show", "newplot", and "plot" need to be translated. As you probably say, "feffpath" is effectively `FeffPathGroup'. The others are less obvious, and many of the larch functions really want to be passed a "larch session" so that they can find other larch function or data sources. For example, FeffPathGroup needs a larch session in order to be able to look up atomic information. So in pure python that would be approximately: import os import os.path import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # using pyplot instead of build in plot commmands from larch import Interpreter from larch_plugins.xafs.feffdat import FeffPathGroup, _path2chi # need to create a Larch interpreter for each "session" _larch = Interpreter() fname = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Codes/xraylarch/examples/feffit/feff0001.dat") # note that many of the Larch functions will want a `_larch` instance passed in. path1 = FeffPathGroup(fname, _larch=_larch) _path2chi(path1, _larch=_larch) # show, approximately for attr in dir(path1): print(attr, getattr(path1, attr)) # plot, approximately plt.plot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, label= r'$\sigma^2 = 0$') path1.sigma2 = 0.002 _path2chi(path1, _larch=_larch) plt.plot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, label = r'$\sigma^2 = 0.002$') plt.xlabel(r' $ k \rm\, (\AA^{-1})$') plt.ylabel(r'$ k^2\chi(k)$') plt.title(r'$\chi(k)$ from %s' % fname) plt.legend() plt.show() But also, since you have to build a Larch Interpreter, you could simply use it to execute the previous Larch script: from larch import Interpreter text = ''' # larch from os.path import join, expanduser fname = join(expanduser(‘~'), '/xraylarch/examples/feffit/feff0001.dat') path1 = feffpath(fname) path2chi(path1) show(path1) newplot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, xlabel=r' $ k \rm\, (\AA^{-1})$', ylabel=r'$ k^2\chi(k)$', label = r'$\sigma^2 = 0$', show_legend=True, title=r'$\chi(k)$ from %s' % fname) path1.sigma2 = 0.002 path2chi(path1) plot(path1.k, path1.chi*path1.k**2, label = r'$\sigma^2 = 0.002$') ''' _larch = Interpreter() _larch.run(text) The latter approach is highly recommended. --Matt Newville
