refl1d.resolution.binedges(L)[source]

Construct bin edges E from bin centers L.

Assuming fixed $$\omega = \Delta\lambda/\lambda$$ in the bins, the edges will be spaced logarithmically at:

$\begin{split}E_0 &= \min \lambda \\ E_{i+1} &= E_i + \omega E_i = E_i (1+\omega)\end{split}$

with centers $$L$$ half way between the edges:

$L_i = (E_i+E_{i+1})/2 = (E_i + E_i (1+\omega))/2 = E_i (2 + \omega)/2$

Solving for $$E_i$$, we can recover the edges from the centers:

$E_i = L_i \frac{2}{2+\omega}$

The final edge, $$E_{n+1}$$, does not have a corresponding center $$L_{n+1}$$ so we must determine it from the previous edge $$E_n$$:

$E_{n+1} = L_n \frac{2}{2+\omega}(1+\omega)$

The fixed $$\omega$$ can be retrieved from the ratio of any pair of bin centers using:

$\frac{L_{i+1}}{L_i} = \frac{ (E_{i+2}+E_{i+1})/2 }{ (E_{i+1}+E_i)/2 } = \frac{ (E_{i+1}(1+\omega)+E_{i+1} } { (E_i(1+\omega)+E_i } = \frac{E_{i+1}}{E_i} = \frac{E_i(1+\omega)}{E_i} = 1 + \omega$
refl1d.resolution.bins(low, high, dLoL)[source]

Return bin centers from low to high preserving a fixed resolution.

low, high are the minimum and maximum wavelength. dLoL is the desired resolution FWHM $$\Delta\lambda/\lambda$$ for the bins.

refl1d.resolution.binwidths(L)[source]

Determine the wavelength dispersion from bin centers L.

The wavelength dispersion $$\Delta\lambda$$ is just the difference between consecutive bin edges, so:

$\Delta L_i = E_{i+1}-E_{i} = (1+\omega) E_i - E_i = \omega E_i = \frac{2 \omega}{2+\omega} L_i$

where $$E$$ and $$\omega$$ are as defined in binedges().

refl1d.resolution.divergence(T=None, slits=None, distance=None, sample_width=10000000000.0, sample_broadening=0)[source]

Calculate divergence due to slit and sample geometry.

Parameters: T : float OR [float] | degrees incident angles slits : float OR (float,float) | mm s1,s2 slit openings for slit 1 and slit 2 distance : (float,float) | mm d1,d2 distance from sample to slit 1 and slit 2 sample_width : float | mm w, width of the sample sample_broadening : float | degrees FWHM additional divergence caused by sample dT : float OR [float] | degrees FWHM calculated angular divergence

Algorithm:

The divergence is based on the slit openings and the distance between the slits. For very small samples, where the slit opening is larger than the width of the sample across the beam, the sample itself acts like the second slit.

First find $$p$$, the projection of the beam on the sample:

$\begin{split}p &= w \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{180}\theta\right)\end{split}$

Depending on whether $$p$$ is larger than $$s_2$$, determine the slit divergence $$\Delta\theta_d$$ in radians:

$\begin{split}\Delta\theta_d &= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{2}\frac{s_1+s_2}{d_1-d_2} & \mbox{if } p \geq s_2 \\ \frac{1}{2}\frac{s_1+p}{d_1} & \mbox{if } p < s_2 \end{array} \right.\end{split}$

In addition to the slit divergence, we need to add in any sample broadening $$\Delta\theta_s$$ returning the total divergence in degrees:

$\begin{split}\Delta\theta &= \frac{180}{\pi} \Delta\theta_d + \Delta\theta_s\end{split}$

Reversing this equation, the sample broadening contribution can be measured from the full width at half maximum of the rocking curve, $$B$$, measured in degrees at a particular angle and slit opening:

$\Delta\theta_s = B - \frac{180}{\pi}\Delta\theta_d$

refl1d.resolution.slit_widths(T=None, slits_at_Tlo=None, Tlo=90, Thi=90, slits_below=None, slits_above=None)[source]

Compute the slit widths for the standard scanning reflectometer fixed-opening-fixed geometry.

Parameters: T : [float] | degrees Specular measurement angles. Tlo, Thi : float | degrees Start and end of the opening region. The default if Tlo is not specified is to use fixed slits at slits_below for all angles. slits_below, slits_above : float OR [float,float] | mm Slits outside opening region. The default is to use the values of the slits at the ends of the opening region. slits_at_Tlo : float OR [float,float] | mm Slits at the start of the opening region. s1, s2 : [float] | mm Slit widths for each theta.

Slits are assumed to be fixed below angle Tlo and above angle Thi, and opening at a constant dT/T between them.

Slit openings are defined by a tuple (s1,s2) or constant s=s1=s2. With no Tlo, the slits are fixed with widths defined by slits_below, which defaults to slits_at_Tlo. With no Thi, slits are continuously opening above Tlo.

Note

This function works equally well if angles are measured in radians and/or slits are measured in inches.
