​OK. Just be be clear, using S02=0 will tell Feff to *not* set S02 to 1,
and that will alter the result.

​OK, that's good.   Using a ground state potential should give different
results from using the Hedin-Lundquist model.

Were you expecting to change this parameter and get no change in output?

​There are a number of parameters​ for Feff9, and changing these does
typically alter the result -- it's more or less why they exist.

Sorry if this sounds curt of impolite, but I don't understand what you are
expecting to happen.

What are you hoping to get out of these calculations?
