Hi Dien, 

When I look at your project, I find that I have to add Parameters to the GDS page for the "P1.1" path.  When I include that in the fit, the coordination number for that Path goes to 0 (0.07 +/- 0.3) and that "ss_P11" is -0.03 +/- 0.04.  Both "P1.1" and "P1.4" show values for "delr" that are above 0.8 Ang, pushing them both to be at R ~ 4.0 Ang.

My guess would be that those might not be the best paths to use here.  It does look like there is something with R ~ 3.8 Ang, but I might I am not sure I can guess what that is...

Hi, Matt and Carlo and other EXAFS experts

 

Attached please find a fpj data file. The basic system is silica + PO4 ligand on surfaces, which was used for adsorption of La. We collected La L3-edge EAXFS data and did this fitting. I used two models of La binding as monodentate and bidentate. I saw the negative ss parameter. I saw this in some of my other EXAFS data fitting samples as well. I have two questions for help:

  1. What might cause the negative ss parameters and how I may improve this, is this caused by incorrect structure models
  2. If we can do some “stress” test to make sure the fitting is valid and meaningful.

 

Please you can help look at and play this data set and direct me on how to do this correctly, thank you so much.
