Hi Joshua,

Thank you for your comment. Like you said, I tried FOLP with value from 1
to 1.3 and it didn't change the calculated spectrum much. It's very
time-consuming when FOLP reached 1.3, taking more than 3 hours to finish
the calculation on my laptop. On using 0.8 for hydrogen, actually I'm going
to calculated a sample with lots of Li in it. Do you suggest using a
similarly small number of FOLP for Li, in an analogy to H? The other thing
I want to ask is the CRITERIA card in Feff9. It seemed that once I asked
the program to calculate XANES, the CRITERIA card in the software cannot be
checked. It can only be checked if I selected EXAFS calculation mode. Is
there any way to solve this? thanks again for all your answers.
