Hi Debora,
The edge energies are very difficult to calculate, and FEFF only calculates them to roughly 5% accuracy. In this case the accuracy is actually much better. However, relative edge energies between different systems may be more reliable. Most comparisons between theoretical and experimental XANES allow for a shift of the edge to align the spectra. If the comparison is of several systems, a single shift should be used for all of them.
Cheers,
Josh Kas

Dear all,
I'd like to know which kind of concern I should have for feff to simulate the XANES for K-edges. I'm asking because I'm trying to simulate Sn K-edge and I have around 30 eV energy shift for the edge position. Can it be related with a wrong parameter for one of the cards?
Thank you, Debora Meira
