Charged clusters



Hi All,
I have a question regarding FEFF calculations on a charged cluster of atoms. As already discussed in one of the previous mails, one should vary Vr in the EXCHANGE card to simulate charged clusters and try to fit the experimental data. Does the positive sign of Vr means moving the Fermi level to the right, therefore accommodating more electrons (i.e., having a negatively charged cluster)? And vice versa, does the negative sigh of Vr would correspond to a positively charged cluster? I'm trying to fit some XANES spectra of different impurities in CdTe, and from these fits extract, if possible, hints about the charge state of the impurities.
