Dear all I am trying to use artemis to do fitting to CeO2. But really I cant get the right way to do that. During the fitting, I am using amp as set and change in N degeneracy of the path. attached is the best fit i got but it still not good and the chi-square is 41.109065479 so can you suggest me what to do thanks Mohamed
There is a large number of articles explaining how to fit CeO2 including discussions why multi-electron excitatoins complicate the fit, and some of those authors (e.g., A. Soldatov, but also M. Benfatto) propose first principle methods that account for those. Some papers even show that ignoring those contributions may give a decent fit, but you should be aware of the multitudes of theoretical issues surrounding EXAFS modeling of this system before trying it on your own.

I don't know anything about CeO2, but...for me there is something wrong
since the Athena fitting, because there are too many peaks below the main
one, and specially below 1 A. Am I right or not?

Hello, to ideas coming into my mind without an look at your data: 1. Very noisy data ... (may produce to many peaks) 2. problems with the background correction regards Stefan Am 13.05.2010 um 23:34 schrieb María Elena Montero Cabrera:

I agree. To see if the problem is at high k, just make three copies of the data and then ft it with larger values for kmax. That would indicate noise as the problem. You can do the same at low k by adjusting kmin. That would indicate a problem with the background. You can find examples of these methods in my book chapter. Send me an email and I'll send it to you.

Mohamed, I think you need to do some homework. Along with Shelly's suggestion, I suspect that you need to read up on the meaning of the Rbkg parameter in Athena. There is some discussion of this in the Athena manual. Shelly's book chapter is very useful. I suggest you also read up on what's been written about how to interpret chi- square. Look through the stuff at xafs.org. Matt, Shelly, and Scott -- as well as myself and others -- have written extensively about how to think about chi-square. It is not obvious just from looking at a picture that there is anything wrong with your fit.

Dear Mohamed, There is an example of CeO2 EXAFS analysis, taking into account background problems, in the following paper: *J. Padežnik Gomilšek, I. Kozjek-Škofic, N. Bukovec, A. Kodre */X-ray absorption study of CeO2 and Ce/V mixed oxide thin films obtained by sol-gel deposition. /* *Thin solid films, vol. 446, issue 1, (2004) 117-123. regards Iztok Arcon mohamed sobhy wrote:
