For the first shell, I used cubic phase as my starting model and that gave a pretty good fit. However, when I take wurtzite phase as my starting model and vary two bond lengths (both Zn-S, with the axial bond longer by only 0.004 Ang) independently, my delr and ss go crazy. I think that as the first two S subshells are so close to each other, my data can't identify them (delr and ss) independently. So I defined their delr and ss to be same and the
results match pretty well with the cubic phase. The r-factor and reduced-chi square with the two models are very similar.Thanks a lot !

Is the core-hole lifetime broadening of pre-edge XANES peaks the same as at the main edge?  I'm looking into issues of de-noising of XANES epsctra, so
need to figure out how narrow real features can be.

hello

Two phase can be mixed in ZnS. You need to check r-factor and reduced-chi squrare with two model.
If you want to fit only first shell,
I suggest.
first use cubic zinc-blende model in FEFF, and check goodness of fit.
second, fix the bond length of 3 bonding length and change the bond length of a rest.
when you use my suggestion, the variables in Artemis is delrS1(changable), sigmaS1(changable), others(fix)

Dear Ifeffit Community,

Zinc Sulfide exists largely in two phases, either the cubic zinc-blende
(F-43m) phase, or the hexagonal wurtzite (P63cm) phase.

The details of the NN distances are as follows :-
1.  For cubic phase, the NN distances (Zinc to Sulfur bond lengths) are
2.3028 Angstroms each, 4 such bonds exist in a tetrahedral arrangement;
2.  For hexagonal phase, there are 2 different NN distances (Zinc to Sulfur
bond lengths) 3 bonds having the length 2.3421 Angstroms each, and 1 axially
elongated bond of length 2.3465 Angstroms. So they differ only by  0.0044
Angstroms !

I am performing a first shell fit to Zinc Sulfide which exists in the
wurtzite phase (hexagonal_P63cm). However, I could fit it quite well taking
the cubic phase (Zinc blende_F-43m) as my starting model. The only thing is
that since bond distances are higher in a hexagonal phase than the cubic
phase, I end up with a considerable delr as I underestimated my starting
bond length value. Taking a wurtzite model involves defining two different
bond lengths (which differ only by 0.0044 Angstroms !), paths 1 and 2 in the
FEFF, whose sigma^2 values are quite similar. This gives unusually large
delr values and high sigma^2 for the longer axial bond, which looks
suspicious !

Do I really need to define the two bond distances separately of so close
values? Or taking a cubic phase will be sufficient? Please find the attached
project file (artemis.apj) where I have tried out some simulations with both
cubic and hexagonal models.

Here are a few details you asked for :-

The sample is a thin layer, it's pretty homogeneous and had no pinholes during measurements. The fit details are :-
k_min = 2, k_max = 14
R_min = 1, R_max = 3
The potential is self consistent in these calculations
Fitting was performed in the R-space

Best regards,
Soham.
