Hello Robert,

Thanks for your help.

We do not have access to ICSD at the moment, but should get it soon.
I can't see the pdf that you attached. Could you send it again?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Abhinav

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Attached is the CIF file in question. The crystal is Tobermorite 14A, taken
from COD website.

However, the structure has partial occupancy and it is modified to include
full occupancy. The modified CIF file shows a space group of B11b (and
cannot be recognized by Artemis). I tried a C1c1 space group (it works) but
it shows the same structural values as a P11b.

AP

[Ifeffit] Data export and coordination number

2017-03-13 Thread Abhinav Prabhakar
Hello,

As a new user, I have some questions related to the use of Athena and
Artemis:

i) Is it possible to extract the normalized/background corrected data from
Athena (in E-,k- and R- space) and export it as numbers (to Excel perhaps)?

ii) Using Artemis, how can coordination numbers (N) be expressed as 'guess'
parameters (Artemis allows only numerical values for N)?

Thank you.

Regards,

Abhinav Prabhakar (Mr.)

[Ifeffit] Space group type in Artemis

2017-03-11 Thread Abhinav Prabhakar
Hello,

I have a question about the working of Artemis as a new user.

Artemis does not recognize the space group B11b. When importing a cif file
of a crystal with this symmetry, it sends a prompt message that the space
group symbol cannot be recognized. As a result, I changed it to P11b and it
works. But would this change any crystal information (for eg. Degen, Reff
values) significantly?

Thank you.

Abhinav Prabhakar (Mr)
