Hi Taehoon: There are probably several ways of doing the modeling but it all depends critically on what question you are trying to answer. Once you have identified this, the modelling path will become clearer. In general though, yes, you can make two ATOMS models and use paths from both.

If you have any knowledge about the distance between the Rb and Cl, you can use that to build a quick first shell FEFF calculation. You will also have to select a geometry but that is less important, I generally assume either tetrahedral or octahedral. Carlo On Wed, 30 Jul 2014, Karin

Hi Ke Yes, if you change the position of your E0 in Athena, it will result in a shift in your fit parameters. However, don't simply shift your E0 just to avoid the warning. Take a look to see if Athena mispositioned it first but if you are confident that it is correct, then you might take a

Either way is fine but I would suggest taht you not use the calibrate function, just read off the zero crossing and put it into the E0 location. Calibrate actually shifts the data and that is not necessarily what you want to do, particularly if you are comparing spectra.. Carlo On Thu, 16
