[Ifeffit] calibrating and aligning samples for LCF

If you trust that the calibration did not change between when the nanoparticles and the Fe foils were run, then all you need to do is to align the
spectra so that the edge for Fe comes out at the same place as it did for the references. The tricky bit is that if you have references from somewhere else,
you may not know what the energy basis was. Some people take the Fe K-edge to be at 7112eV, some at 7110.75 (Kraft's paper), etc. If all reference spectra
came from the same source, it may be reasonable to assume that they all had the same energy reference, so you could do your LCF with an e0 shift as an additional
parameter.
Now, suppose you don't trust the calibration. There may be a monochromator glitch at a convenient energy. These tend not to move very much, so if you
have the raw data for Fe foil, you can back out the energy of the glitch, then use that to calibrate the unknown, provided the data for it was taken at the
same beamline as the Fe, and not too long before or after.
We have a set of reference spectra, most of which were collected at 10.3.2, and done with consistent calibration: http://xraysweb.lbl.gov/uxas/Databases/Overview.htm .

I would like to fit the Fe nanoparticle data using LCF and the Fe & Fe oxide standards. Data collected from Fe foil during the two months have been calibrated in energy. What is the best way to calibrate or align the other nanoparticle samples and standards collected during both of these sessions prior to doing LCF?

The fit wasn?t perfect so I started to change parameters-FMS and SCF but there was so significant improvement. I can only add that others fit are even worse. My question is which parameter I should change or which card should I add to make XANES calculations better? Maybe you can recommend any paper?
