Dear Abdallah,
It is often quite reasonable to fix two paths debye waller factors to be the
same if they are the same atom at similar distances. However there is a slight
problem with what you are trying to do. Because EXAFS is a sum of sine waves
the minimum distance it can resolve between two paths of the same atom type is
Pi/2*Kmax where kmax is the maximum k value in your data. Hence if you are
trying to fit separate paths of the same atom type 0.06 A apart you need data
out to about 26 k.
I think and no one has ever told me this is completely Ok the only way to get
two distances from such an analysis is to assert that the difference between
the path is a fixed value and thus refine the two paths with the same delta R
(and probably the same debye wller factor) this in my experience works in some
cases
Best regards

Dear all,
Good morning,
I try to Fit EXAFS spectra of a sample composed of supported tungsten oxide (
WO3/ZSM-5) nanoparticles obtained by operando studies under gas (CH4, He) at
750 ?C.
First, and after several trials, I analyzed the WO3 reference spectrum obtained
at room temperature and I succeeded in determining the amplitude (S0) by using
the monoclinic structure WO3 cif file.
Then, I used the value of this amplitude obtained to be able to fit the
structural parameters (coordination number N, Debye-waller Factor, Interatomic
distance) of WO3/ZSM-5 nanoparticles under gas, but I can't.
the best result I got was by selecting the first two shells (at 1.858 and
1.919 Angstrom) of the monoclinic structure. However, with all the
optimizations, the Debye-waller factor obtained for the second W-O shell
(1.919 Angstrom) is always negative, and if I don't take this shell into
account, I completely lose my Fit.
Have any of you ever worked on this type of sample and might have an idea that
would help me improve my Fit?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Abdallah Nassereddine
