A new program called miXAFS for the analysis of X‐ray absorption fine‐structure (XAFS) data is presented. miXAFS can analyze the XAFS functions simultaneously for all measured X‐ray absorption edges of the constituent elements in a sample under the constraints for the structural parameters over the edges. The program provides a surface plot of the R ‐factor as a function of two structural parameters, which is useful to validate the optimized structural parameters. The structural parameters can be obtained from the XAFS data in a few steps using the setting file and batch process. The program, which is coded in MATLAB and freely available, runs on Macintosh and Windows operating systems. It has a graphical user interface and loads experimental data and XAFS functions in a variety of ASCII data formats.
