[Ifeffit] Negative ss problem

[Chris Patridge]

Hello,

It seems to me that you have some more problems than just ss values.   
The data collection range seems a little short just ~300 eV past the  
edge. Amp is quite high and delr is very large. I am an expert by no  
means but I might suggest that you have the wrong model. The model is  
trying to compensate for high R space magnitude by making amp above 1  
and ss negative.  Have you considered your data processing in Athena?   
Did you use the default settings?  I would guess Cu-O bonds might be  
too short for the presets in Athena. How did you check your model?

Buena salud,

Chris Patridge
