[Ifeffit] More than 256 paths on Mac OS 10.5?

2010-10-06 Thread Scott Calvin
Hi all, Do any of you have a version of Ifeffit compiled for Mac OS 10.5 that allows more than 256 paths? --Scott Calvin Sarah Lawrence College ___ Ifeffit mailing list Ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov

Hi Han Sen: I agree that the small sigma2 values for the MS paths is suspect. The data is saying that it wants more amplitude from these paths than is physically possible. One way to increase the amplitude of the paths is to make the scattering angle closer to 180deg for a linear path. It is a

Hello Shelly and Bruce, Thank you both for replying. I was wondering if there was some obvious reason that I missed. But you're both right, I think I will try to re-orientate the paths to make them more linear and then try the Debye and Einstein models. I may be back for more before I conclude

Although I agree with the main points that Bruce makes, I do want to comment on one piece: On Oct 6, 2010, at 7:03 AM, Bruce Ravel wrote: . In no case can I understand a physical explanation for the the MS sigma^2 being smaller than for the SS. Actually, there is a physical situation

Hello Scott, Just to make sure I understand what you mean, are you saying that in your 3 atom system, the S1 and S2 atoms have relatively fixed locations but A may have large vibrational amplitudes in the A-S1 and A-S2 directions? So the round-trip 3 atom MS path has a small sigma^2 value since
