This may be a question related to Artemis or to EXAFS fitting in general for a relative newcomer. Over the past months, when I've fit EXAFS data using Artemis and feff-derived single-scattering paths, I sometimes end up with best fit values for 2nd-shell coordination numbers or sigma squared values that are negative. Do these values have any meaning, or do they most likely signify that the chosen paths are not appropriate for fitting the spectral region in question? Also, is there a way to constrain the parameters to only consider positive values. Thanks. Timm Strathmann
