Re: [Ifeffit] EXAFS Fitting for Ni sorb to bacterial biomass and Mn oxides

While I don't have much experience with biological samples in exafs, if you need to generate Ni - C paths, use the virtual path function in the new Dartemis which is very easy to use. Chris Dr. Christopher Patridge Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Thanks Chris. Regards. 2014-03-18 11:54 GMT-03:00 Chris Patridge patri...@buffalo.edu: Hello, I think it is valid. The model for v2o5 is tough to fit well at low R because the apical oxygen bond is so short that there is some significant overlap between the background and signal near 1

I think it is not valid. You have too many fitting parameters for the first shell (all your sigma2 are independent variables) and you ran out of independent points that are limited by the delta R and delta K. To increase delta R you extended your fitting range to the second shell but is

Thanks guys. With respect to the numbers, I only try a quick fit in order to formulate the question in the list. My interest is to know if the procedure to consider the two inequivalent positions is valid. Regards. 2014-03-18 11:57 GMT-03:00 Bruce Ravel bra...@bnl.gov: On 03/18/2014 10:31 AM,

Academically speaking, valid, but, practically, may not be useful if your purpose is to fit the data and not just to construct a valid theoretical calculation. Most likely, the constraints you will have to apply in order to limit the number of variables will be too restrictive which will defeat

Thaks Anatoly, in fact I have a set of EXAFS data of V2O5 xerogel intercalated with Co atoms. I would like to have information of the effects of Co intercalation in the local order around vanadium atoms. 2014-03-18 12:30 GMT-03:00 Anatoly I Frenkel afren...@yu.edu: Academically speaking,
