Optical constants for elements and various materials in the EUV and VUV wavelengths
Project description
Optical constants for elements and various materials in the EUV and VUV wavelengths.
Welcome! This is ocdb, a Python package for easily accessing the X-ray/EUV/VUV scattering and absorption data contained in the Optical Constants Database (OCDB) provided by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB.
Features
A list of (planned) features:
Access to X-ray/EUV/VUV scattering and absorption coefficients (n and k)
Interface compatible to the periodictable Python package
Provides data and uncertainties
FAIR and linked data: citable, reliable, and reproducible
Community-driven: easy to contribute
And to make it even more convenient for users and future-proof:
Open source project written in Python (>= 3.9)
Developed fully test-driven
Extensive user and API documentation
Installation
To install the ocdb package on your computer (sensibly within a Python virtual environment), open a terminal (activate your virtual environment), and type in the following:
pip install ocdb
