Abstract

FEFF9 is an ab initio self-consistent multiple-scattering code for simultaneous calculations ofexcitation spectra and electronic structure.The approach builds in core-hole effects and can include local fields (TDLDA). Output includes extended x-ray-absorption fine structure (EXAFS), full multiple scattering calcula-tions of various x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) and projected local densities of states (LDOS).The spectra include x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), x-ray natural and magnetic circular dichroism (XNCD and XMCD), spin polarized x-ray absorption spectra (SPXASand SPEXAFS), non-resonant x-ray emission spectra (XES), the x-ray scattering amplitude(Thomson and anomalous parts), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).This work has been supported in part by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and bythe University of Washington Office of Technology Transfer.
