Re: [Ifeffit] Question on GDS values: amp

2011-08-01 Thread Scott Calvin
Hi Nic, The delr and ss values may adopt reasonable values with a negative amp, but they're almost certainly not the right values. A negative amp turns the chi(k) upside-down. To make it ft, the other parameters then have to shift the graph over by half an oscillation, yielding values of

Dear Nic, this sounds like your fit is shifted to the experimental chi(k) by half an oscillation period. Typically, you can recognize this by looking at the enot value. So what is your enot value like? Does it help changing the enot starting value by a couple of eV? Finally, (and this is a
