Re: [Ifeffit] FEFF10 simulation of Pt alloy

Dear Harry, To a good approximation, using a decreased lifetime broadening works for simulating HERFD-XANES. See https://doi.org/10.1021/jp063416t where conventional and HERFD XANES are calculated with FEFF by decreasing the broadening (Fig. 2). This is done in the EXCHANGE card, e.g. to decrease

Hi Will, I worked with the Fe K-pre-edge, following the method of Wilke et al. (e.g. ref 20 in the Chaurand paper). Letting the peaks fit freely (but with shared FWHM and Gaussian/Lorentzian ratio) gave the best results. A few reasons to rely on the fitting program to give you the numbers: -

Dear Pushkar, regarding your last question: the absorption edge jump (Delta µd) is the difference in absorption before the edge and after the edge, e.g. Pt L3-edge is at 11564 eV, so Delta(µd) = µd at 11580 eV - µd at 11550 eV. The total absorption (µd) takes all atoms into account. You only need

Dear Pushkar, in the X-ray data booklet (online version http://xdb.lbl.gov/xdb.pdf), see "Section 1.6 MASS ABSORPTION COEFFICIENTS" for the explanation and a reference to absorption coefficient tables in literature. I personally like the empirical way, i.e. comparison to well-known standard

Dear Gemma, you indeed want a feff-input with a central Co on/in a kaolinite matrix. You should define the location of the Co ion - the simplest assumptions would be substitution of an Al or Si. Import the cif and run ATOMS to create the kaolinite structure. Then replace either Al or Si with Co

Dear Pushkar, 1) The priority is the mass, i.e. the number of absorbing atoms of the measured element, because that determines the edge jump. The thickness mostly depends on the type of sample and amount of BN (or cellulose) used and is usually important for the stability and homogeneity of the

Dear Matteo, µx that you measured is dimensionless: x in the thickness (in cm) and µ the Absorption coeffiecient (per cm). Indeed, if you want to know the Absorption coefficient µ of your sample, you should divide µx by x. All the best, Alexey 2016-05-13 2:11 GMT+02:00 Matteo Busi
