Hi Shelly, this is no problem with the late answer. Thanks for your hint. I will talk about this with my boss for further proceeding. cheers, Eckhard
Hi Eckard,
I realize that you have posted a message every month for about 3 months in a row without any reply: Shame on us... I will try to answer some of your questions and maybe that will help to get some discussion going. The energy scale in feff8 is NOT defined as you would expect it to be for determining the absolute energy of an edge. The energy scale in FEFF8 is related to the difference between the energy level of the intersist (potential level inbetween the muffin tins that represent atoms) and the threshold energy level for the excitation of the electron.
I realize that this doesn't solve your problem, but hopefully it will spark some discussion.
Cheers,
Shelly

Hello,
i have problems with feff-xanes calculations related to pyrite. I try to get the k-edge of sulfur (as absorber) in FeS2. I get the edge at ~2472 eV and i think this is wrong because i get the same energy with gypsum and i think there should be an energyshift related to 2472 eV. My proceeding is as follows:
calculate the atomic positions with the asymetric unit from the http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php database (Pyrite spacegroup Pa3) respectively http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/xtal_data/CIFfiles/00596.cif with "powdercell 2.4"
feffrun with the feff.inp-file like in the attachment (thanks to Josh Kas for his feff-hints)
I started the feff-run on the one hand with 12 atoms (unitcell) and on the other hand with 22 atoms (14x Fe and 8x S in the cube)
After this i plotted from xmu.dat the absorbtion mu (column 4) as a function of the energy (column 1). The result is in the attachment too.
I don't know why i get everytime the Sulfur-k-edge at the same position (for pyrite or gypsum) respectively without energyshift related to 2472 eV.
many thanks for your help :-) Ciao, Eckhard

Hallo @all,
(first at all, sorry for my bad english)
i'm a student working on my diploma thesis (nexafs/xanes) and my job is to simulate with FEFF 8.4 spectra, for example absorption as a function of energy (mu_(E)). I'm a newbie in this topic and i tried to get the k-edge of Sulfur for the substance gypsum (CaSO4 * 2(H2O)) and pyrite (FeS2). I'm interested in the XANES-range of the spectra not the EXAFS. I get everytime my peaks at ~2472 eV for Sulfur as absorber whatever substance i use (gypsum, pyrite,...). There are no differences with the peak position on the energy-scale or shifts. I'm really confused :-( I think, there should be differences in the spectra... I send you two feff.inp files from my feff-runs. My source is the mineralogy database (http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php) where i get the data for the unitcell. Then i put the data in the XtalDraw program to get the positions of the Atoms in Angstrom, by the way i get i nice 3D-View of the unitcell :-). Then i put the values of the positions into feff... I simulated pyrite with 12 atoms and gypsum with 48. I'm appreciative for every help :-)
ciao, Eckhard
