Hello everyone, I’m running FDMNES calculations, and I have the following situation: Run A: Multi-site calculation with 3 non-equivalent positions. FDMNES internally applies epsii shifts, and I merge the per-site spectra — the merged spectrum is correct internally, meaning the relative positions between sites are preserved. Run B: Single-site calculation with 1 non-equivalent position. My goal is to compare the merged spectrum from Run A with the single-site spectrum from Run B. The challenge: because FDMNES aligns energies internally per run, the merged spectrum from Run A is not correctly referenced to the same absolute energy scale as Run B. My question: What is the recommended way to shift the merged multi-site spectrum from Run A so that it can be meaningfully compared with a completely different single-site calculation? Is it acceptable to use the position of a peak B, WL, etc, for a rigid shift, and are there best practices for doing this while preserving the internal relative positions of the merged spectrum? Thank you! Sincerely, Olga Olga Filimonova Post-doc researcher - ID26 European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France
