[Ifeffit] Cementite EXAFS

[Bhoopesh Mishra]

Hi Andrew,
       Thank you so much for your reply. I could run a sample myself but
that can not happen in next few weeks (until my next beamtime). I would be
very thankful to you if you could send me your spectrum. I need to use it as
a standard.

Thanks,
Bhoopesh
