This is a valid point, as was Chris's response. When Atoms reads crystal data (which your cif file is -- it has two molecular units in a triclinic P -1 unit cell) it assigns unique potentials, then makes a rhmoboid out of unit cells which is big enough to completely enclose a sphere if radius

Hi George, I spent some time on airplanes this week working on this problem, which proved to be deeper than I originally thought. I think I have a solution that will work (as opposed to last week's solution that didn't work!) but I need to do some more testing because the solution touches a

[Ifeffit] modeling significant defects and molecules

2013-10-31 Thread Carl Brozek
dear listhost, I would like to use Artemis/Atoms to simulate EXAFS of a crystalline material with significant defects that include additional atoms to the unit cell. Can I simulate this material without making a new cif file? Ideally, I would be able to input a DFT-optimized model cluster as xyz

Hi Carl, You can always use symmetry P1 and specify every atom in the unit cell in the atoms input. That can be tedious for a large unit cell, but is achievable. -R. On 10/31/2013 11:09 AM, Carl Brozek wrote: dear listhost, I would like to use Artemis/Atoms to simulate EXAFS of a

Hi Carl: Yes, you can do that and start with a FEFF input file if you know the coordinates of all the atoms that you need in your model. After you edit the FEFF input file, you can simply start from there bypassing the atoms portion of the model building. Carlo On Thu, 31 Oct 2013, Carl

YOu could use ATOMS to make a FEFF file for a simple structure, then copy the header from that and replace the atoms list with a set of coordinates. You'd have to write a program which would automatically fill in the correct IPOTs and symbols, but it's not that hard. What's annoying is if you

Carl, See https://speakerdeck.com/bruceravel/modeling-non-crystalline-samples particularly the bit on slides 11 and 12. The bottom line is that Atoms is *a* starting point, not *the* starting point. It is just one way of making input data for Feff, not the only way. B On 10/31/2013 12:09

Hi Rene, Bruce, I pulled this merge request. With the fixed code, I verified on Fedora 15 x86_64 that I could install PGPLOT and ifeffit with sudo sh ./PGPLOT_install ./configure make sudo make install This is with gcc 4-6 series for x86_64. That is, I think this should work for you now.
