Interactive, Web-Based Calculator of Neutron and X-ray Reflectivity
نویسنده
چکیده
For many users of the neutron and X-ray reflectometry instruments at NIST, these measurements represent a relatively small and specialized part of their research portfolio. As such, providing calculation and modeling tools that are as accessible and easy-to-use as possible is a high priority of the facility. In order to meet this need, a purely web-browser-based calculator for reflectivity modeling and rudimentary fitting has been developed and provided on a publicly accessible web server. Going to https://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/magik/calculators/reflectivity-calculator.html, will load a one-page web application into the browser. Any relatively modern browser with support for ECMAScript 5 will be able to load and run the application. A calculator for magnetic samples can be found at https://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/magik/calculators/magnetic-reflectivity-calculator.html.

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملNeutron and X-ray scattering on the monolayer structure of a lecithin fullerene-derivative.
Using neutron reflectivity with contrast variation, X-ray reflectivity, and grazing incident small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), we have characterized the in-depth and in-plane structural characteristics of the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films formed by a novel lecithin C60-derivative, FPTL, of three phospholipids jointly bonded on one single olefinic moiety of a C60 cage. Based on ...
متن کاملStructural studies of the neural-cell-adhesion molecule by X-ray and neutron reflectivity.
The structures of adhesion proteins play an important role in the formation of intercellular junctions and the control of intermembrane spacing. This paper describes the combination of neutron and X-ray specular reflectivity measurements to investigate the structure of the ectodomain of the neural-cell-adhesion molecule (NCAM). The measurements with unmodified NCAM suggest the presence of a ben...
متن کاملModel-independent inversion of x-ray or neutron reflectivity data
A technique is described for the model-independent analysis of x-ray or neutron reflectivity data. Rather than trying to find just one optimum solution, the idea is to find the set of solutions that are feasible. The approach is based on inversion of the missing phase information using a feasible set approach coupled with a genetic algorithm search for the set of solutions. It does not require ...
متن کاملX-ray and neutron investigation of self-assembled lipid layers on a titanium surface.
Titanium is the most widely preferred metal material for bone reconstruction in orthopedics and dentistry. To improve its biological performance, various coatings can be applied. In this investigation, a biomimetic coating on a model implant surface was studied in X-ray and neutron reflectivity experiments to probe the quality of this coating, which is only few nanometers thick. Titanium was de...
