R is Reff + deltaR, so that *is* refining R. When you say "I don't know how to refine N and R", I'm left unsure what part you do and do not know. There are lots of on-line examples and documentation. If you're having trouble, it might help to ask a specific question. > But the fitting with Ni (or Fe) edge can only generate the same R and > deltr for Ni-Ni and Ni-Fe pairs. > I'm sorry, I don't understand. In principle, the Ni-Ni distance and Ni-Fe distances can be different, of course. Fitting the edges of Ni and Fe will yield a little difference in the R and > deltr.

As said earlier, unless you're looking at some weird situation, I would expect measuring distances and coordination numbers separately for Ni-Ni, Ni-Fe, Fe-Fe, and Fe-Ni to be very, very hard. My recollection (could be wrong) is that the nominal near-neighbor distances for fcc Ni and bcc Fe are both around 2.48 Ang. With Z different by only 2, I would not expect these to be distinguishable. But the program definitely allow you to try.... --Matt Newville
