[Ifeffit] EXAFS simulations - peak too high

[Anatoly I Frenkel]

You are probably trying to investigate the staple motif? People from Dalhouse University, Peng Zhang and others used FEFFIT for this purpose and analyzed Au-S and Au-Au contributions in such situations.
Their papers explain the way FEFF modeling was done.

Subject: [Ifeffit] EXAFS simulations - peak too high

Hello.

I am running some EXAFS simulations Au L3 on Au clusters with SR coating.
In the outer shell Au sits between 2 S atoms. 4 Au atoms are in the neighborhood
up to 3.5 Angström.
Expecting two peaks in the chi(R) - one for Au-S and one for Au-Au (here
it can be several little ones) I find that for 1 out of 5 sites the Au-Au
peak is way too high.
Is something in the FEFF code weighing an Au-Au path for this site
too much? Does anyone have some ideas on that?

Thanks,
Lisa
