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

[Ying Zou]

Dear all,

Nice to get so prompt response from Bruce and Scott, thanks for their effort to make this list vital!

Looks like "amp" is a factor which can be reduced. Then there is a question: how would all paths be sorted? by Reff or by "amp"? More techically related another question is then: can FEFFIT and FEFF work seamless together on this? Is there any presumption in FEFFIT (or more explicityly, ARTEMIS/ATHENA) which assumes all the paths have been sorted by descending "amp" down from 100% with ascending REFF? 

The background story behind this: using the same structural model (thanks Bruce!), I tried to fit either use paths from FEFF840 or from FEFF6. The fitting with FEFF6 paths does a quite good job, giving a R_factor~1%, reduced chi square~ 90. Yet the one with FEFF840 paths terminates abnormally because two parameters cannot be determined. 

Attached please find two ARTEMIS project files. And appreciate for comments!
