[Ifeffit] Amplitude in Artemis

[Paul]

Hi Shelly

Unfortunately the coordination number is 1 for all atoms present. I have the crystal structure of the complex, so I am currently including 6 ligating atoms all at distances defined by the structure in the input file. It seems to be the first shell that is causing the problems, with a quickfit first shell artemis fit giving nominally 13 ligating species (which is of course absurd). So I believe something else must be the problem.

Cheers

Paul

  Hi Paul,

   

  It seems possible that one of the other amplitude terms is also incorrect.  Scott already mentioned the step height but what about the coordination number?  The amplitude of the model is given by coordination number * S02.  You mentioned that the S02 value was somewhere between 2 and 4.  What is the value for coordination number * S02?  If the coordination number is 1, then it is possible that the parameters are switched.  Maybe the coordination number should be between 2 and 4 and S02 should be around 1.

   

  HTH,

  Shelly

  I have just started a PhD and have been given alot of EXAFS data to simulate but I don't know much about artemis. I have tried to fit the data for quite some time now, but can't get any kind of good fit unless the amplitude is above 1. Is there any way amp can be above 1 and rationally explained?

   

  Cheers,

   

  Paul
