pypxr 0.0.1

A collection of utilities for reducing data and modeling Polarized Resonant Soft X-ray Reflectivity.

PyPXR

Open-source python utilities for modeling Polarized X-ray Reflectivity using an anisotropic transfer matrix formalism. The roots of this package were originally forked from the refnx.reflect layer model developed by Andrew Nelson.

This package requires the use of refnx in order to model and fit data.

Some functionalities have been forked and repurposed from other open-source utilities:

• D. Dietze : FSRStools
• M. Jeannin : pyGTM
• P. Dmitriev : PyATMM

Results produced from the main-branch uniaxial calculation have been published and can be found online
