Hi Paul,

It seems possible that one of the other amplitude terms is also incorrect.  Scott already mentioned the step height but what about the coordination number?  The amplitude of the model is given by coordination number * S₀².  You mentioned that the S₀² value was somewhere between 2 and 4.  What is the value for coordination number * S₀²?  If the coordination number is 1, then it is possible that the parameters are switched.  Maybe the coordination number should be between 2 and 4 and S₀² should be around 1.

HTH,

Shelly

Subject: [Ifeffit] Amplitude in Artemis

I have just started a PhD and have been given alot of EXAFS data to simulate but I don't know much about artemis. I have tried to fit the data for quite some time now, but can't get any kind of good fit unless the amplitude is above 1. Is there any way amp can be above 1 and rationally explained?

Cheers,

Paul
