[Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak

[Qingying Jia]

Hi Disha,

  The shift in bond distance in this case, is not necessarily associated
with the change of oxidation state. It can be simply caused by the
insertion/removal of Li/Na or whatever depending on your battery type
during the charge/discharge, which sometimes changes the oxidation state of
Mn slightly, sometimes doesn't.

  Regards,
