Hi Riti,
You can change the muffin-tin radius using the FOLP card, which is available in FEFF6 as well as later versions. For example, if the H atoms have the potential index 1, then use

FOLP 1 0.8

to reduce the muffin tin radius of hydrogen.

FOLP 1 1.0

will have touching muffin tin potentials.

I'm CCing this to the Ifeffit mailing list, because there are probably many
people with more experience with this than me.

I believe there is not a simple way to set the muffin tin radius for H or
other atoms.  But, I think you can tweak this with the "FOLP" setting
(usually a number between 1 and 1.25 or so, representing the amount of
overlap between atoms).

My understanding is that Feff 9 handles hydrogen better than earlier
versions, but I don't run very many calculations with H in the structures.
Hopefully someone who does will share some insight.
