Dear IFEFFIT experts:
Is it possible to add a k^3 term in the phase for fitting to take into account anharmonic effect? The fitted coefficient will be proportional to the 3rd cumulant of Debye-Waller factor. I work with high-temperature high-pressure systems where anharmonic effect is not negligible.
Thanks. Yuan Ping
Hi Yuan, Here is the relevant page from the Ifeffit reference manual: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ifeffit/refman/node51.html You want to use the "3rd" path parameter, which adds a term proportional to C3*k^3 to the sine function in the exafs equation. See the attached figure for the place in Artemis where this parameter is introduced.
