[Ifeffit] Node in chi(k) envelope for a single shell

Dear List,

I have noticed in several fits that Artemis -- i.e., feff -- reports for
a SINGLE shell (with absorber = scatterer = Hg, edge = L3) an almost-node
in the envelope of chi(k) around 6 inverse angstroms. See the image at

http://pjm.math.berkeley.edu/users/levy/files/HgNode.gif

and the FEFF output after my signature.

I've done my best to account for this behavior, but I simply don't
have a physical intuition for why the F(k) factor should dip to zero
or almost zero.  Note that this is not a beat caused by two similar
frequencies being added; the Fourier transform does
of course show two peaks -- which is how my curiosity was aroused --
but the example figure comes from a SINGLE path, with 12 identical
scatterers all at the same distance from the absorber.

Looking forward to your two cents...

Silvio
