<div dir="ltr">Dear<div>RMC group</div><div><br></div><div>I am trying to perform EXAFS fitting for an amorphous material, I have the exafs.dat data files. the rmc6f file and the files generated by feff.

On the other hand, since this is an amorphous material how can I define different absorbers in the .rmc6f file (this is a cubic cell with 216 atoms, 72 of them are absorbing).</div><div><br></div><div>In some cases I have generate the absorlist.dat and scattlist.dat, but when running rmcprofile an error appear in screen telling that threader are not sufficient scatters for the number of atoms.</div><div><br></div><div>Could you please helmet with this, I have been arround this per days without results.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Hi Daniel,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Basically the files that you need to get started are: a configuration file, with extension .cfg or .rmc6f (this contains the atomic coordinates for your ‘box’
of atoms); one or more data files (in this case your diffraction/total scattering data) and a control file with the extension .dat, which tells the program what to do. Have you had a look at the tutorials that come with the RMCProfile download? They should
help with the formatting and contents of these files but please ask if not.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">For the configuration file you have two options. You can either use the output from EPSR, and convert that into a format suitable for RMCProfile (which seems
like the best thing to do in this case, and I can help you with the conversion) or you can start from scratch. Because your material is amorphous the most obvious way to generate a starting model is by randomly adding the correct proportions of atoms to a
box. During refinement you will then probably need to provide more information on , for example, connectivity or coordination number in order for the model to become realistic. There is a program in the RMCProfile distribution called dwbuild which should help
with this, although it may be extremely slow (as it tries to only place atoms at reasonable distances from one another).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
