Hi Michael, It is best to start by guessing the third cumulant only, leaving the fourth cumulant set to zero. A survey of the published literature shows very few examples where the fourth cumulant has been fit--by that point the cumulant expansion itself is starting to become iffy, which is not

Michael, The values for C3 and C4 should be very small -- they are in Ang^3 and Ang^4, and should be numerically smaller than sigma2 (in Ang^2). I would expect values of 0.001 for C3 in a highly disordered system. I'm not sure anyone has actually seen a value for C4 that was not consistent wit

Hello, I'm trying to make an EXAFS analysis on the Structure of Tb in a borogermanate glass System. The reference is an .cif of Terbium-Gallium-Garnet (TGG). I expect some disorder caused to working in glass. Therefore I would like to use the 3rd and/or the 4th parameter. I tried to set a gu
