Core - Part of the NeXL X-ray Microanalysis Library

Installing NeXLCore.jl

NeXLCore is available throught the standard Julia registry and can be installed using the standard package manager.

julia> ]add NeXLCore

or

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("NeXLCore")

Using NeXLCore

NeXLCore provides the core data and algorithms used throughout the NeXL libraries for elemental and X-ray-related data and calculations.

Standards

For consistency, function arguments and outputs will be use the following standard (unless otherwise mentioned.)

• All lengths are in centimeters
• All masses are in grams
• All energies are in eV
• All angles are in radians
• Mixed units are in combinations of these units (MACs are in cm²/g etc.)

The special macro n"..." has been defined to make constructing objects representing elements, subshells, atomic shells, transitions and characteristic x-rays quick and easy.

Examples:

n"Fe" == element(26)
n"L3" == subshell("L3")
n"Fe L3" == atomicsubshell(n"Fe",shell("L3"))
n"L3-M5" == transition(shell("L3"),shell("M5"))
n"Fe L3-M5" == CharXRay(26, transition(shell("L3"),shell("M5")))
