[Ifeffit] weak scattering from second-nearest neighbors for single atom catalysts

[Anatoly Frenkel]

Hi Qiang,

There are many papers analyzing Pt SACs on ceria and many of them are able
to provide good evidence of Pt-O-Ce coordination. See for example Fig. 5d
in this paper and the discussion of the model and fit results.
