Hi All,
Thank you for the information. I double-checked my Feff calculation and
noticed that I did not change the uranium edge from K (default, but not
reasonable for uranium) to L3 (what I used in experiment). After using the
correct uranium edge to run the Feff calculation, the fitting result looks
good.
I previously used Artemis. The Feff function in this software would
automatically pick the common edge for the absorbing elements (in my case,
L3-edge for uranium or thorium). That makes me ignore the edge box in Larch.
Best,
Juejing

Hi Juejing,
It also wasn't clear to me which edge you were measuring, but U XAFS are
interesting. The large size of Uranium atoms typically improves convergence
of XAFSs calculations, so FEFF calculations often work well for L-edge XAFS
spectra with 17 keV x-rays. On the other hand, K-edge XAFS of U compounds is
often not useful due to the large core-hole broadening of U which limits
the XAFS to short near neighbor distances, and the large > 100 keV K-edge
energy is not available at many synchrotron sources. I'll be interested to
hear what source you used to measure the XAFS. Thanks.
With best wishes,
John
