[Ifeffit] No shift in XANES absorption peak

 Dear Claudia, Qingying Jia, Matt

Thank you so much for your responses :)

The shift in bond length I see is almost around 0.1-0.12 Angstrom, which is
not small enough to ignore. I think the coordination might be changing, if
not the oxidation state. I will redo the Artemis calculations with N as a
variable again to see if that helps. Because keeping my N constant actually
gave me pretty low Debye-Waller values and R factor was also below 5% so I
was assuming the fits were reliable.

I was also thinking maybe Mn is undergoing partial oxidation, however, in
bulk we do not see that change in the main XANES absorption peak. I am not
sure if that can be a possibility.

Thanks a lot again!
Kind Regards
Disha
