Xray::Absorption::Shaltout(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Xray::Absorption::Shaltout(3pm) "cross_section" Example: $xsec = Xray::Absorption -> cross_section($elem, $energy, $mode); @xsec = Xray::Absorption -> cross_section($elem, @energy, $mode); The $mode argument is different here than for the other resources. The options are "xsec", "photo", "coherent" and "incoherent", telling this method to return the full cross-section or just the photoelectric, coherent, or incoherent portions. The values for all cross-sections are computed as log-log polynomials as described in the original paper by Shaltout et al. NAME
Xray::Absorption::Shaltout - Perl interface to the Shaltout tables SYNOPSIS
use Xray::Absorption; Xray::Absorption -> load("shaltout"); See the documentation for Xray::Absorption for details. DESCRIPTION
This module is inherited by the Xray::Absorption module and provides access to the data contained in Update of photoelectric absorption coefficients in the tables of McMaster Abdallah Shaltout, Horst Ebel, and Robert Svagera X-Ray Spectrometry(2006) vol. 35, p. 52-56 The data is contained in a database file called shaltout.db which is generated at install time from a flat text database of the data which can be found at <http://www.ifp.tuwien.ac.at/forschung/abdallah.shaltout/> as explained in the reference. The required Chemistry::Elements module is available from CPAN in the miscellaneous modules section. EDGE AND LINE ENERGIES
The Shaltout data resource includes all K, L, M, and N edges but does not provide any of the line energies. An minimal set of line energies is imported from the McMaster data resource. BUGS AND THINGS TO DO
This module has not be tested sufficiently. AUTHOR

Xray::Absorption::Henke(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Xray::Absorption::Henke(3pm) NAME
Xray::Absorption::Henke - Perl interface to the Henke tables SYNOPSIS
use Xray::Absorption; Xray::Absorption -> load("henke"); See the documentation for Xray::Absorption for details. DESCRIPTION
This module is inherited by the Xray::Absorption module and provides access to the data contained in the Henke tables of anomalous scattering factors and line and edge energies. The data in this module, referred to as "The Henke Tables", was published as B. L. Henke, E. M. Gullikson, and J. C. Davis, Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables Vol. 54 No. 2 (July 1993). The Henke data is available on the web at http://www-cxro.lbl.gov/optical_constants/ and more information about the data can be obtained from Eric Gullikson <EMGullikson@lbl.gov>. The data is contained in a database file called henke.db which is generated at install time from the flat text files of the Henke data. The data is stored in a Storable archive using "network" ordering. This allows speedy disk and memory access along with network and platform portability. The required "File::Spec", "Chemistry::Elements", "Storable", modules are available from CPAN. METHODS
The behaviour of the methods in this module is a bit different from other modules used by "Xray::Absorption". This section describes methods which behave differently for this data resource. "get_energy" Example: $energy = Xray::Absorption -> get_energy($elem, $edge); This behaves similarly to the "get_energy" method of the other resources. When using the Henke data resource, $edge can be any of K, L1-L3, M1-M5, N1-N7, O1-O7, or P1-P3. Line energies are not supplied with the Henke data set. The line energies from the McMaster tables are used. "cross_section" Examples: $xsec = Xray::Absorption -> cross_section($elem, $energy, $mode); @xsec = Xray::Absorption -> cross_section($elem, @energy, $mode); This behaves slightly differently from the similar method for the McMaster and Elam resources. The Henke tables are actually tables of anomalous scattering factors and do not come with coherent and incoherent scattering cross-sections. The photo-electric cross-section is calculated from the imaginary part of the anomalous scattering by the formula mu = 2 * r_e * lambda * conv * f_2 where, "r_e" is the classical electron radius, lamdba is the photon wavelength, and conv is a units conversion factor. r_e = 2.817938 x 10^-15 m lambda = 2 pi hbar c / energy hbar*c = 1973.27053324 eV*Angstrom conv = Avagadro / atomic weight = 6.022045e7 / weight in cgs The $mode argument is different here than for the other resources. The options are "xsec", "f1", and "f2", telling this method to return the cross-section or the real or imaginary anomalous scattering factor, respectively. The values for f1 and f2 are computed by linear interpolation of a semi-log scale. Care is taken to avoid the discontinuities at the edges. Because the Henke tables do not include the coherent and incoherent scattering terms, the value returned by "get_energy" may be a bit smaller using the Henke tables than that from the McMaster tables. EDGE AND LINE ENERGIES
The Henke data resource provides a fairly complete set of edge energies. Any edge tabulated on the Gwyn William's Table of Electron Binding Energies for the Elements (that's the one published by NSLS and on the door of just about every hutch at NSLS) is in the Henke data resource. The Henke data comes with the same, limited set of fluorescence energies as McMaster. BUGS AND THINGS TO DO
o It would be nice to improve the inter-/extrapolation near absorption edges. As it stands, these tables produce really poor DAFS output. AUTHOR
