Hi Fan, If you included an attachment, I did not see it. If so, can you send it some other way?
I would not expect that the Sr K-edge of SrTiO3 needs much playing around with parameters in the feff.inp file prior to running Feff. I would advise against doing that unless you know what you are doing. Don't set Vi to be below 0. I would be more inclined to believe that the data treatment had problems or that the use of the feff paths had problems. Without knowing what you did, it is very hard to speculate what might be going wrong.
