NXdispersion_table

Status:

base class, extends NXobject

Description:

A dispersion table denoting energy, dielectric function tabulated values.

Symbols:

The symbols in this schema to denote the dimensions

n_points: The number of energy and dielectric function points

Groups cited:

none

Structure:

model_name: (optional) NX_CHAR

The name of this dispersion model.

convention: (optional) NX_CHAR

The sign convention being used (n + or - ik)

Any of these values: n + ik | n - ik

wavelength: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_points]) {units=NX_LENGTH}

The wavelength array of the tabulated dataset. This is essentially a duplicate of the energy field. There should be one or both of them present.

energy: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_points]) {units=NX_ENERGY}

The energy array of the tabulated dataset. This is essentially a duplicate of the wavelength field. There should be one or both of them present.

refractive_index: (optional) NX_COMPLEX (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_points]) {units=NX_DIMENSIONLESS}

The refractive index array of the tabulated dataset.

dielectric_function: (optional) NX_COMPLEX (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_points]) {units=NX_DIMENSIONLESS}

The dielectric function of the tabulated dataset.
