Dear Luo,

A quick look at your attached figures tells me that you have several pairs of atom that are too close to each other.

For example, pair #1: atom #144 and atom #160, and pair #2: atom #145 and atom #161, as in the output console.

This trouble usually happens when one uses a CIF file which is an output from a Rietveld refinement software like Fullprof.

I now present here one way to solve this issue.

1. Attached, please find the CIF file that I have simplified for you.

2. Please open it with Demeter.

3. Now at the Shift vector, please input 1/4 0 0.

4. "Run Atoms".

5. "Run feff" and wait for some seconds.

Attached, please also see two other figure files for your reference.

I wish you luck.

Sincerely yours,

Duc-Chau Nguyen, PhD.

Subject: [Ifeffit] Artemis warning after FEFF calculation---can't close GLOB filehandle

Dear ifeffit memebers,

I received an Artemis warning after importing a CIF file into FEFF calculation as usual, which said, “Can’t close GLOB(…) filehandle at …” I first assumed it might be caused by some system errors. So I tried this CIF file on another PC and received a similar warning---can’t close a GLOB() filehandle. Also, I tried FEFF8 using Webatoms, but this still didn't work... Is that due to the CIF file itself or the software bug on my PC? I never met this situation before because it's always been very smooth to import a CIF file and generate atomic coordinates and paths before fitting... I don’t know how to handle this.

The CIF file is attached. I appreciate any suggestions that might be helpful. Thank you for your time!

Xinyu Luo
