[Ifeffit] Comparison of "amp" between Feff8.40 and feff6 - Curved waves or Plane waves?

By looking at the FEFF.inp file it appears that the path in question is a Ti-O-Ti where the angle of this linkage is very close to 180 degree (had it been 180 degree, the total length would be not 3.9317 but either 3.90500 or 4.15600. In a perovskite with Ti on center such angle would be 180 degree but in your input file you have TiO6 octahedron displaced relative to the Pb corners in 100 direction (also known as tetragonal distortion). Still, the angle is close to 180 degree which makes a contribution of forward scattering, triple-scattering paths that go through O in forward direction twice, the strongest - and that should explain why your path amplitude increased over 100 percent. Why the two programs give different amplitude, must be a bug, as Bruce and Scott explained.

Dear all,

While I am calculating FEFF path through Feff8.40 using the "feff8.inp" as attached, I notice that the value of "amp" shown on "FEFF interpretation page" for some paths goes over 100%. For example, path 14 has a Reff=3.9317 far away from first shell, yet it has an "amp"=169.913. On the contrary, if I do the same in Artemis through embedded Feff6.0(using "feff6.inp"),  none of paths has an "amp" over 100%. I am guessing this could be all right because Feff8 is using curved waves Feff6 instead plane waves. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated!
