Dear Ifeffit Community,

The attachment didn't open ?! I am resending the same.

In any case, I will give all the details :-

The sample is a thin layer, it's pretty homogeneous and had no pinholes
during measurements. The fit details are :-
k_min = 2, k_max = 14
R_min = 1, R_max = 3
The potential is self consistent in these calculations
Fitting was performed in the R-space

Best regards,
Soham.
