The matrix correction package in the NeXL microanalysis library for Julia. NeXLMatrixCorrection depends upon
NeXLUncertainties and NeXLCore.
NeXLMatrixCorrection is available through the Julia registry. You can install it using the package manager from the command prompt.
]add NeXLMatrixCorrectionCurrently NeXLMatrixCorrection implements the XPP, CitZAF, XPhi and Riveros matrix correction and Reed fluorescence correction algorithms for bulk and coated samples. The library is designed to make it easy to add additional algorithms.
Primarily the algorithms in NeXLMatrixCorrection are designed to take a Vector{NeXLCore.KRatio} and return a NeXLCore.Material. Since they are intended for both WDS and EDS, the k-ratio can represent one or more characteristic X-ray lines from a single element. K-ratios compare a measured intensity with the intensity from a reference (standard) material. Typically, these two materials are measured at the same beam energy but multiple beam energy measurements are also supported.
The primary methods are
quantify( # Generic method for EDS, WDS or mixed data
sample::Union{String, Label}, # Sample name or Label
measured::Vector{KRatio}; # The k-ratios
mc::Type{<:MatrixCorrection}=XPP, # Default algorithm choices
fc::Type{<:FluorescenceCorrection}=ReedFluorescence,
cc::Type{<:CoatingCorrection}=Coating)::IterationResult
quantify(ffr::FilterFitResult)::IterationResult # Specialized for the results from fitted EDS spectra
# where
KRatio(
lines::AbstractVector{CharXRay}, # CharXRay or X-rays measured
unkProps::Dict{Symbol,<:Any}, # Properties of the measurement ( :BeamEnery, :TakeOffAngle )
stdProps::Dict{Symbol,<:Any}, # Properties of the standard ( :BeamEnery, :TakeOffAngle )
standard::Material, # Composition of the standard
kratio::AbstractFloat, # The k-ratio (can be an UncertainValue)
