[Ifeffit] Fitting using Experimental standard

2010-01-04 Thread abhijeet gaur
A very happy new year to all Generally the fitting is done using theoretical standards. For that in Artemis, we give input as crystallographic data. But If we want to use an experimental standard instead of theoretical standard, how that can be done. Is it possible to use experimental standard in

I know of one very obscure conference proceeding describing what you are looking for. It was written during pre-Artemis times but the method can be used with Artemis, of course. A. I. Frenkel, M. Vairavamurthy, and M. Newville, A study of the coordination environment in aqueous cadmium-thiol

Hi Fiona, An experimental standard is a spectrum of a known material (the term is also often used for the known material itself, in addition to its spectrum). If you use Athena to do a linear combination fit, you are most commonly using experimental standards to do it. A theoretical

An experimental standard is an EXAFS spectrum of a known compound. If you pick the right known compound (and if such exists) then you have an isolatable shell consisting only of scattering from one kind of atom, with the others being at distances sufficiently different so that one can

Thank you, Matthew. As they say in Russia, everything new is well forgotten old. Seriously, that paper was really how to use FEFFIT for both experimental and theoretical standards, not just theoretical. A. - Original Message - From: ifeffit-boun...@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov

Re: [Ifeffit] Fitting using Experimental standardAh, I see. I think Artemis has some way of putting in experimental phase and amp, but that may be just to make a corrected FT. Is that so? Otherwise, I suppose it should be possible to write a fake FEFF path file and read it in. I guess that's

I doctored FEFF path. Not sure if Artemis offers anything better and less intrusive than this trick but I think it is still the only way to use experimental standards for fits (other than the ratio method that is implemented in athena as Bruce desribed, which is used for monoatomic shells

I wonder if some kind soul with some programming time to spare (ha ha) could write a program to do that. It would be relatively simple, but does need the knowledge of how to write a FEFF path. It would ask questions like where the phase and amp files are, what k-power was used, what the
