Hi Anis, Do you have the Demeter package (predecessor to Larch) installed? The stand-alone atoms version there can read your cif file and outputs the attached feff. inp. -R. On 2024-11-14 1: 12 p. m. , Anis Attiaoui via Ifeffit wrote: Thank you,

Thank you, Matt.

 

I did try to pip install larixite but it doesn’t seem to work for some reason. So I tried to directly build it after downloading the app. Still It seems not to be working.

Below is the output.

 

Sorry for this inconvenience.

With pip install larixite

Hi Anis, 

 

I think we fixed a few problems that might apply here for larixite.   This CIF file should work if you upload it to

     https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/larixite/

 

When I do this, it seems like it works fine.  See:

    https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/larixite/cifs/Ge0.9Sn0.1-1728-atom-T900K-snapshot-21900.cif

 

We intend that xraylarch will use this newer code soon.

Dear Ifeffit Community,

 

I am struggling to generate the feff.inp file using the following .cif file (attached).

I am using py-Larch for this project.

 

I tried using these 2 functions: from larch.xrd.cif2feff import cif2feffinp and from larch.xrd.structure2feff import structure2feffinp.

For some reason both of them, they cannot seem to read the cif cluster file (attached).

 

The snippet of the code I am using is :
inp_file = cif2feffinp(cif_file, 'Sn', edge='K', absorber_site=1, version8=False)

I am trying to generating inp_file using feff6.

 

I keep getting the error output of inp_file: “# could not read CIF file”.

I am wondering if this is because the .cif file is bad or there is sthg else going on.

 

Any suggestions will be tremendously helpful.

Best regards,
