Hi Mr/Ms, I am a new learner of XAS and meet a problem like before and hope you can give me some hints. [cid:image001.png@01D6ADDA.9D016B40] [cid:image005.png@01D6ADDA.9D016B40] I have a data set after merged and alignment. But at 11-13 A-1, the amplitude of k is much higher than normal but there seems no weird points at XAS spectrum. I wonder how I could deal with this part? If I shorter kmax and it must lose some important information. Best Wishes, Danting Sent from Mailhttps://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986 for Windows 10

Dear Danting, did you look on the background that is subtracted? I guess it is your background that is doing something weird here. To look at the background tick "Background" in the plot. In the region you mention it should be a smooth line without visible oscillations. Cheers, Edmund On 29.10.20 11:02, Chen, Danting wrote:

I agree, this is a sign of a poor background subtraction. I find that this
can be mitigated by cutting back on your spl;ine range for background
subtraction. Change it by 0.5 at a time or less and keep plotting in
k-space. You might have to lose a bit of range but that just means that
the data is not good enough to extend that far.

It's possible that your data really has a kink in it. Zoom in on that last bit in E space before any background subtraction and see if there's something odd-looking. If there's really an artifactual kink, then there's not much you can do. mam On 10/29/2020 7:47 AM, Carlo Segre wrote:
