[Ifeffit] Debye Waller for first shell and second shell

[Carlo Segre]

it is quite possible for there to be significant disorder in the first 
shell.  Vacancies can cause this or a size mismatch with a dopant atom. 
In addition, oxygen is much less massive than iron and so can have much 
higher thermal vibrations.

Cheers,

Carlo
