[Ifeffit] Linear Combination Fitting problem

Hello, I'm using Demeter 0.9.21 on Windows 7 (32 bit). I encountering a few problems with Athena. So I wonder if it can be solved in future releases. 1. The names of my spectra are quite long (around 40 characters). The first problem is when I try to import data from Athena project file:

Hi Qingyu, Each Mo absorber contributes to the spectrum equally, so if you think you have a good analysis that indicates x% of Mo scatterers are most similar to Li2MoO3 and 100-x% are most similar to MoO3, those are simply atomic percentages. All you have to do is convert the atomic% to mass%

Hi all, @Drew Latta: I was wondering why the end members should be magnetite and maghemite. Is it because they are both of inverse-spinel structure, the difference only being that the latter has all Fe completely oxidized into Fe(III)? Would you be able to provide the standard spectra to me if

Here are reference spectra. The calibration is defined with the Fe metal edge at 7110.75eV. The maghemite spectrum has been corrected for mild overabsorption by reference to magnetite, which is very similar. The magnetite is synthetic Fe3O4 from Aldrich, and done in TEY, so no

Hello, maybe that fingerprinting technique would be Mossbauer spectroscopy. The Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio comes easily and also there are lots of papers about Mg-ferrite, an example: 10.1109/TMAG.2009.2018880 http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TMAG.2009.2018880 Alexandre.

Dear Teck Kwang Choo, it is the ratio of the number of (in your case) iron atoms. This ratio has no unit. You will therefore get the same number if you calculate molar % ratio or weight % (Except you consider the weight of the missing electron in Fe3+... :-). Now, if you weigh your standards and

Hi Guven, This is not unusual, in my experience, particularly if the chi(k) fit is not particularly good. XANES and EXAFS are sensitive to different aspects of the local environment. In particular, the chi(k) is much more affected by structure beyond the nearest-neighbors. In your system,
