lmfitxps 1.3.0

This package contains additional models for the lmfit package for fitting XPS spectra.

lmfitxps

Introduction

Welcome to lmfitxps, a small Python package designed as an extension for the popular lmfit package , specifically tailored for X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) data analysis.

While lmfit provides simple tools to build complex fitting models for non-linear least-squares problems and applies these models to real data, as well as introduces several built-in models, lmfitxps acts as an extension to lmfit designed for XPS data analysis. lmfitxps provides a comprehensive set of functions and models that facilitate the fitting of XPS spectra. In particular, lmfitxps provides several models, which use the convolution of a gaussian with model functions of the lmfit-package.

In addition to models for fittig signals in XPS data, lmfitxps introduces several background models which can be included in the fit model for fitting the data rather then substracting a precalculated background. This is the so-called active approach as suggested by A. Herrera-Gomez and generally leads to better fit results. For further details, please refer to the documentation of lmfitxps and lmfit!
