Hi Andy: I peeked into the database and there are 2 files here fb.013.Z FE83 B17 HT=400C, AT NT fb.014.Z FE83, B17 AS CAST It looks to me as if the HT that is referred to by the first file is the annealing temperature of the sample. The "AT NT" leads me to believe that the data is taken at "NT" which might be Nitrogen Temperature. This is just speculation but I wouldn't bet on the data having been taken at the high temperature.

Dear All,

I am comparing some simulated EXAFS signals to the file fb.013 from the Farrel-Lytle database. I would be hugely grateful if someone with more knowledge of this data could comfirm the meaning of the line -

# FE83 B17 HT=400C, AT NT

In particular I need to know the sample temp but to my untrained eye the line is ambiguous (I am hoping it is 673K...)

The whole header is below for reference but it's only temp I need.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy
