Dear All,

The database at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/adb/search.html is down and I am trying to create an input file (for feff calculation) for pure scandium ( http://www.periodni.com/sc.html ).

The problem is when the 'atoms', and 'feff' in Artemis calculate the scattering paths, they shows distances smaller than the expected 3.256A nearest neighbor distance. What is the error in the input file attached below ?

Thank you.
