Re: Feff8.2 Xanes edge energy seems to be off +9ev



Dear feff_users,

I'm relatively new at feff. I'm trying to calculate the xanes edge for pertechnetate with feff8.2. This version of feff seems to calculate the pre-edge of pertechnetate quite well and the shape of the xanes edge also seems ok,


So be happy!

but the energy of the edge seems to be off +9eV from our experimental data. I'm including the feff.inp i used as an attachment. Does anyone have a clue what happens?

Don't worry too much about that: you are calculating xanes for a molecule and ther is no outer sphere in feff, so the Fermi level is not really defined in that case. Just shift your result by 9 eV. Just a remark concerning your input file: to use SCF 10.0 is not necessary here because your cluster size is much less than this value (4 will be enough). Take care of the use of ION card: look at the user guide. You can comment the LDOS card too: it will save time and it doesn't seem to be a useful concept for molecule.

Best regards

M. Jaouen
