Hi Dien Li,

Create a FEFF calculation and for each phase.

Weight the SO2 of the paths for each calculation by the proportion of that 
phase that is present; that is often done with a guessed parameter.

For example,

Set SO2_U = 0.85
Guess frac_goethite = 0.3
Guess frac_organic = 0.3
Def frac_uraninite = 1 - frac_goethtite - frac_organic

Then, for the paths associated with U on goethite, enter in the SO2 field the 
expression SO2_U * frac_goethite, and similarly for the other phases.

While that's how you do it in theory, these kinds of fits often end up 
unstable; Ifeffit may find fits that work well statistically but are utter 
nonsense; e.g., they might have negative fractions. The more you can constrain 
or restrain the fit, the less likely you are to have that happen.

In fact, if you have more than one sample in this class, you might want to try 
PCA first, including target transforms, to start getting a sense of what's 
present, and then switch to Artemis once the possibilities have been narrowed 
down.

Hi, All

"Assuming" there are multiple phases in one sample, saying, U on goethite, U on 
organic matter, and uraninite, how to fit the EXAFS data using Artemis? Thanks.
