Dear All, I am trying to generate the path files of a DFT structure using larch in python. I will briefly describe the methodology I am following in hope it might help shed some light to the problem I am facing. I start from a .cif file of the relaxed DFT structure of 64-atoms GeSn. Then, I try to evaluate all the possible .inp file of the corresponding absorbing atoms (Sn and Ge). I am attaching the .inp file of one site0 for Sn ( tested it through Artemis and it works fine). Then I try to call the FeffRunner module to extract the corresponding feffNNNN.dat path files that will be used to build the EXAFS spectra. It is in this step that I am facing an issue. It seems that FeffRunner is working but it doesn't generate the corresponding feffNNNN.dat path files. (I am attaching an image of what is produced when I run the FeffRunner module). Below is the python script I used to generate the .inp file as well as the paths via Larch. " from larch.xafs import FeffRunner from larch.xrd.struct2xas import Struct2XAS # read .cif DFT data with ase DFT_path = '/home/ml-dell/Documents/Simulation/exafs/DFT/' cif_file = f'{DFT_path}CIF-00010-T300K.xyz' mat_obj = Struct2XAS(file = cif_file, abs_atom="Ge") for site in range(mat_obj.nabs_sites): mat_obj.set_abs_site(site) #to get information on the coordination environment around absorber atom mat_obj.get_coord_envs_info() mat_obj.get_coord_envs() # use feff to generate .inp mytemplate = None mypath = DFT_path mat_obj.make_input_feff(radius=9.0, template=mytemplate, parent_path=mypath) # now we can run feff to generate the paths via larch feff_inp = f"{mat_obj.outdir}/feff.inp" session = Interpreter() sim = FeffRunner(feff_inp,_larch=session) sim.run() " I will be thankful for any suggestions on how to fix this issue.
