ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES FOR XAFS DATA ANALYSIS USING FEFF AND MATHEMATICA 7

The FEFF series of programs for the calculation of x-ray absorption spectra has had a transformative impact on EXAFS analysis because of its accuracy, flexibility, and portability. Its primary use has been in supporting a path by path analysis of experimental data using auxiliary programs such as IFEFFIT, Artemis, SixPack, etc. In this paper several alternative strategies for XAFS analysis that combine FEFF and Mathematica 7 are described. Executable programs are available from the author.
