XANES for benzene



Dear FEFF users

I mainly deal with organic molecules and would like to use FEFF to
interprete their ELNES or XANES

I am trying to simulate carbon K-edge XANES of benzene crystal for it
seems a simplest example.  A previous simulation and experimental work
was shown by J. A. Horsley et al. in J. Chem. Phys., 83 (1985) 6099,
where MS-Xa method is adopted.  I wonder if I can simulate the similar
result by means of FEFF8.2 anyhow.

So far, the obtained result is not as good as the previous simulation
and I am wondering if there is a special parameter set for organic
molecules. I am using CSD data of benzene and the TkAtom for obtaining
an initial input file. I performed the calculation with default
parameters as well as changing a set of rfms1, xkmax, xkstep, estep,
r_fms, l_fms and eimag values. One of the sample files is attached. I am
still far from the experimental spectrum.  

I read through feff mailing-list archive and found a close subject at
http://cars9.uchicago.edu/feff/feffusers/msg00175.html
but no concrete suggestion has been given.

I would be glad to receive any suggestions or comments.
