pyEELSMODEL.misc.hs_gdos module

pyEELSMODEL.misc.hs_gdos.dsigma_dE_HS(energy_axis, Z, ek, E0, beta, alpha, filename, q_steps=100)

Calculates the cross section from the Hartree-Slater cross sections from Rez. They are not used since they are not open-access.

pyEELSMODEL.misc.hs_gdos.dsigma_dE_from_GOSarray(energy_axis, rel_energy_axis, ek, E0, beta, alpha, q_axis, GOSmatrix, q_steps=100, swap_axes=False)

Calculates the cross section from the GOS array. The integral over q-axis is done on a logarithmic scale. Note the speed of the calculation is not super-fast and could be improved by a better implementation of the interpolation and integration.

Parameters:

  • energy_axis (1d numpy array) – The energy axis on which the cross section is calculated. [eV]

  • rel_energy_axis (1d numpy array) – The energy axis on which the GOS table is calculated. [eV]

  • ek (float) – The onset energy of the calculated edge [eV]

  • E0 (float) – The acceleration voltage of the incoming electrons [V]

  • alpha (float) – The convergence angle of the incoming probe [rad]

  • beta – The collection angle of the outgoing electrons [rad]

  • q_axis (1d numpy array) – The momentum on which the GOS table are calculated. [kg m /s]?

  • GOSmatrix (2d numpy array) – The GOS

  • q_steps (uint) – The number of q points used to numerically calculate the integral over the q direction. (default: 100)

  • swap_axes (boolean) – The two GOS tables from Segger and Zhang have different axes. So for one, the energy axis is the first one and for the other it is the q-axis. Hence by swapping the axes we can use the same function for both. (default: False)

Returns:

dsigma_dE – The calculated cross section in m^2

Return type:

1d numpy array

pyEELSMODEL.misc.hs_gdos.dsigma_dE_from_GOSarray_approx(energy_axis, rel_energy_axis, E0, beta, GOSmatrix, swap_axes=False)

Parameters:
