In your modified file, there is no space between the IPOT and the element label - "1Pd". That could be your problem. mam ----- Original Message ----- From: penelope arancegui To: ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 2:49 PM Subject: [Ifeffit] feff.inp trouble geometry Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble with a feff.inp file. I changed the geometry of a 13-atom Pd molecule but I don't know why FEFF8 doesn't read the archive. Using the cristollagraphy database for this molecule, ATOMS generated the following file: * This feff8 input file was generated by Artemis 0.8.007 * Atoms written by and copyright (c) Bruce Ravel, 1998-2001 TITLE ... * Pd K edge energy = 24350.0 eV EDGE K S02 1.0 * pot xsph fms paths genfmt ff2chi CONTROL 1 1 1 1 1 1 PRINT 1 0 0 0 0 0 *** ixc=0 means to use Hedin-Lundqvist * ixc [ Vr Vi ] EXCHANGE 0 *** Radius of small cluster for *** self-consistency calculation *** A sphere including 2 shells is *** a good choice *** l_scf = 0 for a solid, 1 for a molecule * r_scf [ l_scf n_scf ca ] SCF 4.0 *** Upper limit of XANES calculation. *** This *must* be uncommented to *** make Feff calculate full multiple *** scattering rather than a path expansion * kmax [ delta_k delta_e ] XANES 4.0 *** Radius of cluster for Full Multiple *** Scattering calculation *** l_fms = 0 for a solid, 1 for a molecule * r_fms l_fms FMS 6.20855 0 *** Energy grid over which to calculate *** DOS functions * emin emax eimag LDOS -30 20 0.1 *** for EXAFS: RMAX 3.0 and uncomment *** the EXAFS card RPATH 0.1 *EXAFS 20 POTENTIALS * ipot Z element l_scmt l_fms stoichiometry 0 46 Pd 3 3 0.001 1 46 Pd 3 3 4 ATOMS * this list contains 13 atoms * x y z ipot tag distance 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1 Pd 0.00000 0 1.99550 1.99550 0.00000 0 Pd 2.82206 1 -1.99550 1.99550 0.00000 1 Pd 2.82206 2 1.99550 -1.99550 0.00000 1 Pd 2.82206 3 -1.99550 -1.99550 0.00000 1 Pd 2.82206 4 1.99550 0.00000 1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 5 -1.99550 0.00000 1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 6 0.00000 1.99550 1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 7 0.00000 -1.99550 1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 8 1.99550 0.00000 -1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 9 -1.99550 0.00000 -1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 10 0.00000 1.99550 -1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 11 0.00000 -1.99550 -1.99550 1 Pd 2.82206 12 END With the coordinates I want to use, the file would be: * This feff8 input file was generated by Artemis 0.8.007 * Atoms written by and copyright (c) Bruce Ravel, 1998-2001 TITLE ... * Pd K edge energy = 24350 eV EDGE K S02 1 * pot xsph fms paths genfmt ff2chi CONTROL 1 1 1 1 1 1 PRINT 1 0 0 0 0 0 *** ixc=0 means to use Hedin-Lundqvist * ixc [ Vr Vi ] EXCHANGE 0 *** Radius of small cluster for *** self-consistency calculation *** A sphere including 2 shells is *** a good choice *** l_scf = 0 for a solid, 1 for a molecule * r_scf [ l_scf n_scf ca ] SCF 4 *** Upper limit of XANES calculation. *** This *must* be uncommented to *** make Feff calculate full multiple *** scattering rather than a path expansion * kmax [ delta_k delta_e ] XANES 4 *** Radius of cluster for Full Multiple *** Scattering calculation *** l_fms = 0 for a solid, 1 for a molecule * r_fms l_fms FMS 6.20855 0 *** Energy grid over which to calculate *** DOS functions * emin emax eimag LDOS -30 20 0.1 *** for EXAFS: RMAX 3 and uncomment *** the EXAFS card RPATH 0.1 *EXAFS 20 POTENTIALS * ipot Z element l_scmt l_fms stoichiometry 0 46 Pd 1 46 Pd ATOMS * this list contains 13 atoms * x y z ipot tag distance 0 0 0 0 Pd 0 0 0 0 2.822 1 Pd 2.82206 1 2.52407 0 1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 2 0.779982 2.40054 1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 3 -2.04202 1.48361 1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 4 -2.04202 -1.48361 1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 5 0.779982 -2.40054 1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 6 2.04202 -1.48361 -1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 7 2.04202 1.48361 -1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 8 -0.779982 2.40054 -1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 9 -2.52407 0 -1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 10 -0.779982 -2.40054 -1.26204 1 Pd 2.82206 11 0 0 -2.822 1 Pd 2.82206 12 END Do I need to modify something else besides the coordinates?
