The lambda is in the amplitude.
I assume FEFF does not integrate over the distribution of distances, which is where the term in question comes from. That is, FEFF
calculates A (complex) in
chi(k) = Im(A(k)*exp(-lambda*R+2*i*k*R)/R^2)
for a single R, but what you want with a non-0 ss (Artemis' notation for sigma2) is
chi(k,ss) =
where <...> is the average over a Gaussian distribution of R with second moment equal to ss. The derivation, for
any who are interested, starts with setting R = R0+dr and approximating 1/R^2 as (1/R0^2)*exp(-2*dr/R0) to get
chi(k,ss) = Im[(A(k)/R^2)*Integral{Exp(-[(lambda+2/R0)+2*i*k]*dr-dr^2/(2*ss)),dr}/Integral{Exp(-dr^2/(2*ss),dr}] (Mathematica notation).
Completing the square and doing the integral yields the cited term (except with a 2/R0 not 1/R0) as well as the familiar
exp(-2*ss*k^2) amplitude. Typically, the term is question is pretty small.
It results in a distance shift of ss*(1/lambda+2/R0). If ss=0.01A^2 (fairly hefty), R0=2A and lambda = 0.1A^-1, then we get
a shift of 0.01A. With an ss=0.01A^2, one might expect anharmonic effects of that order. I also did not include in the above
any R dependence of A(k), either in magnitude or phase due to curved-wave effects. Bruce, any idea if those are ever significant
in this context? I suspect not.
Therefore, the question is whether, if you tell FEFF that there's a ss, it adds in the above factors, and whether IFEFFIT/Artemis
do that, assuming you care about a <~0.01A shift which would probably exist in any reference spectrum as well.

Does the math expression in IFEFFIT include the term -4k*sigma2*(1/labmda
+1/R) in the phase? If yes, the 1st cumulant is sigma1= R+dR. If no,
sigma1= R+dR+2*sigma2*(1/labmda +1/R). It this correct?
When Ifeffit evaluates the exafs equation, it includes lamdba from the
Feff calculation.
