I am having trouble fitting my sample with both Fe5C2 and Fe3O4 as standards. Hopefully somebody could help me out and I really appreciate it.

My iron sample was mainly iron carbide in the core and iron oxide on the shell. Fe5C2 has a monoclinic structure and generated complicated FEFF paths. Many of the paths have similar distances. I have found some paper reported their results as follows, which apparently combined several paths together and assume they have similar path length. My first question is does someone know how they did it? It seems that combing similar paths makes fitting much easier, but I am not sure whether this is a correct way to do the fitting.

My second question is regarding fitting with the two combined models of Fe5C2 and Fe3O4. I haven't fit with two models before. Is it just like what I did in the attached Artemis file? Shall there be any restrictions between the two models and do I have to fix some of the parameters? 

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Best,
