Hi Gyuchul,

By itself, webatoms can calculate a cluster of many thousands of atoms (it is not necessarily fast, but a cluster size of 100 Ang should work and can give a few 100,000 atoms). Feff9, on the other hand, will have a compiled-in maximum number of atoms in its cluster. That number could easily be as low as 400, and you would have to rebuild Feff to make it larger.

Hi All,

I am trying to simulate the EXAFS spectrum of pure molybdenum through FEFF9 software. I got the atomic configurations of molybdenum from molecular dynamics simulations, and I'd like to import it into FEFF 9. In order to do that, I converted lammps file into cif file, and I am trying to convert cif file into feff.inp. I am using Webatoms to convert cif file into feff.inp. The default value of cluster size and longest path is 8 and 5, respectively (in angs). However, when I try to increase the cluster size and the longest path to 10, it stops working, and I got the internal error. I am working with 1024 atoms (8x8x8 cells, bcc crystal structure). Are 1024 atoms too many to deal with in webatoms? or is there other ways to convert cif file into feff.inp?

I don't have any problems when I use the ideal cif file (not from molecular dynamics simulations).

Sincerely,

Gyuchul Park
