Hi, Bruce
Thanks for the valuable information. I have tried the
sum of pathes method to do the estimation.
But it seems like not to accurtate compared to the data I
found in the paper.
So, I want to go back to the the proper fit fo find out
poper sigma^2 and eo.
But I don't have any numeric chi data for gamma-Fe2O3. Do
you have any idea where I may get these
information? Thanks for all the help.
Best Regard!!

hi, Can anyone tell me whether I can use ifeffit to do this job?
I want to know the % change in chi when the molecule have 3% change in radius? All I have is just the crystal struture of gamma-Fe2O3, which means I can only get the Feff. How can I introduce 3% change in redius so that I can get the difference of chi? Can anyone help me? Tanks a lot.
Hi TaiYen,
Since you are asking about using Ifeffit, I presume that you are interested in changes in the EXAFS spectrum rather than the XANES.
There are a number of ways you might approach this problem. Probably the best way of doing so would be to do a proper fit to measured data so that you can get a good measure of things like sigma^2 and e0. Then, using the results of the fit, modify the deltaR parameters for each path used in the fit to be 3% larger. Then simply add up the paths using the fitted values for sigma^2, e0, and so on.
You can also do something similar without actually doing a fit to data. Use Artemis or ifeffit itself to increase R for each path and simply sum the paths without using fitted values for sigma^2 and so on. The easiest way of doing so would be to set deltaR for each path equal to "0.03*reff". That will expand the length of each path by 3%, thanks to the magic of the special "reff" parameter in Ifeffit.
Another way of doing this (and a decent way of doing so for a XANES calculation) would be to use Feff's rmultiplier keyword: http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/feff/wiki/index.php?title=RMULTIPLIER
