[Ifeffit] Linear Combination Fitting using ATHENA

[Teck Kwang Choo]

The database: http://cars.uchicago.edu/~newville/ModelLib/search.html does
not seem to have Ferrite.

The matrix of my sample is largely Mg-ferrite where Fe is in the form of Fe
(III). If you anyone has the spectra for Mg-ferrite, would it be possible
to provide it to me? Otherwise, I do not think my sample spectra would be
useable at all!

Thanks and kind regards.
