Dear Dr. Anis, If you want to print feffNNNN. dat files, you may need to modify the print level in your PRINT card. Please try the following card. The 6th number in the PRINT card needs to be 3. Best, Kaifeng Zheng, Stony Brook UniversityStony

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.
