Hi Eugenio,

Quick question: Did you change the tags for the Co atoms so that they are different?
If I do that, I get 4 and 6 coordinate results. you can import the cif file twice, run atoms on both
sites (with tags different) and get the two feff inputs for running.

-R.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to make Co K-edge EXAFS fitting for the Co3O4 compound (*.cif file is attached). The nearest neighbour of Co is oxigen at about 1.93 Angstrom distance.
Cobalt sits in two inequivalent sites in the unit cell. When I perform the FEFF calculation in Artemis for either one or the other site i get the same path with Reff = 1.93 and degeneracy = 4.
So i wonder what is the correct way to take account of the presence of both sites. At the beginning i was thinking to put 2*amp as S0^2 parameter to take account for twice the coordination number.
Then i tried to use the "Aggregate" option in Artemis. When I use this option i get exactly the same result, i.e. a SS path with Reff = 1.92 and degeneracy = 4... I was expecting to get twice the degeneracy.. (the margin and beta parameters are set to default) 

My question is:
Why do i get the same path list when I do use the "Aggregate" pathfinder and when I don't? What is wrong in my interpretation?

Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Eugenio
