Agree. Took a quick look at your spectrum. The IrOx seems to be extremely
amorphous without much Ir-Ir interactions. The dip is around 11 (A-1) in
the k-space. So you may just truncate anything beyond that dip and the
remaining spectrum should carry most useful information and be fitable, at
least for the first shell Ir-O bond.
