XFIT is an interactive and user-friendly program for the analysis of X
-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS, EXAFS) curves. XFIT incorporates
in a single package a number of features available in other existing
programs: ab initio EXAFS calculation (using FEFF4.06/6.01), empirical
EXAFS calculation (as in XFPAKG), allowance for polarization, use of
Fourier filtering, and the application of constraints and restraints.
Additional features not previously available are: simultaneous refinem
ent with respect to several data sets, simultaneous refinement of seve
ral absorber sites, and Monte-Carlo error analysis. Applications inclu
ding the analysis of EXAFS data from mixtures and the analysis of DAFS
(diffraction anomalous fine structure) data are indicated.
