Hi euG,

That amp is not physically reasonable, unless you're using it as a  
proxy for the coordination number.

The uncertainty on the other variables does not seem high to me for a  
single-shell fit. Well, 2 eV is a bit high for an uncertainty on E0,  
but not crazy high.

There are some approaches that can be used to try to reduce the  
uncertainties, but you shouldn't even think about that until you get  
the amp (S02) straightened out.
