Dear Scott,
In addition to practical explanation from Fred, you give theoretical details and a good example.
I am reading your book 'XAFS for everyone' from time to time. It helps a lot.
Thank you.

Hi Kug-Seung,
Fred has explained the basic issues with spinels well. For an example of how to handle them, you can see this article of mine:
http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.66.224405
If you don’t have access to the article, let me know, and I can email you a copy.

You need to consider both sites to have a chance of fitting, and set multiplication factors on the relative amps in the ratio. It has 1/3 tetrahedral sites and 2/3 octahedral. You need to do the feff calculation twice with each site as the core atom.

I am sure this model could be improved upon but I wanted to show you how to get going in fitting the structure. In theory as the Mn tetrahedral site and octahedral sites are different oxidations states they might (should) have different E0s as well but with a limited data range this gets hard to test properly.
