[Ifeffit] Fwd: FEFF trouble help me please !!!!

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi,

I want to remind everyone that it is important to use the mailing
list.  I do not feel that I am obligated to answer questions about the
software that come to me by any other channel, particularly when I do
not have a personal relationship with the person asking the question.
That said, I am forwarding this fellow's question to the mailing list
and providing an answer.

Thitipong, this is a case of GIGO.

According to Acta Cryst. (1972). B28, 3102-3103 (the reference I found
for Cr23C6):

   The crystal structure of chromium carbide, C r 2 3 C 6 , has
   been described as cubic, space group Fm3m, 4Cr (I) in (a)
   (000), 8Cr (II) in (c) (l-lq:), 48Cr (III) in (h) (Oxx), x=
   0.165, 32Cr (IV) in (f) (xxx), x=0.385, 24C in (e) (x00),
   x=0-275 (Westgren, 1933) on the basis of X-ray single
   crystal and powder diffraction data. We have confirmed
   this structure and determined the atom positions more
   precisely by a neutron diffraction study of a powder sample.

Using those coordinates, I have no problem running atoms and feff.
The structure is a bit strange -- I guess this is more like a metal
than a carbide -- but it seems consistent with the paper after a
cursory inspection.

According to http://www.crystallography.net/cod/1009019.html, the
space group for Cr7C3 is P M C N.  Atoms and feff run fine with this
input data.

Some hints on asking questions that so you'll get the answers you are

Hi Bruce ,
My name is Thitipong . I have trouble about FEFF program and believes
   you can help me.
Now I am doing "XANES simulation" Cr23C6 and Cr7C3 .
So , when I run FEFF program - it report TWO ATOMS VERY CLOSE TOGETHER .
How can I fix it ?

This it Data of atom Cr23C6

title name :    Cr23C6
title formula : Cr23C6
space F M 3 M
a=10.6599 b=10.6599 c=10.6599
rmax = 10
core=Cr1
atom
Cr  0     0     0     Cr1
Cr  0.25  0.25  0.25  Cr2
Cr  0.385 0.385 0.385 Cr3
Cr  0     0     0.340 Cr4
C   0.276 0.276 0.276 C1

and Cr7C3

title name :    Cr7C3
title formula : Cr7C3
space P M C M
a=7.0149 b=12.1530 c=4.5320
rmax = 10   rpath=6
core=Cr1
atom
Cr  0.064  0.811  0.056 Cr1
Cr  0.250  0.626  0.057 Cr2
Cr  0.250  0.206  0.250 Cr3
Cr  0.250  0.416  0.261 Cr4
Cr  0.065  0.021  0.250 Cr5
C   0.250  0.562  0.459 C1
C   0.029  0.342  0.028 C2

If there is any other way please let me know.

Thank You ,
Thitipong
