NXmirror

Status:

base class, extends NXobject

Description:

A beamline mirror or supermirror.

Symbols:

No symbol table

Groups cited:

NXdata, NXgeometry, NXshape

Structure:

@default: (optional) NX_CHAR

Declares which child group contains a path leading to a NXdata group.

It is recommended (as of NIAC2014) to use this attribute to help define the path to the default dataset to be plotted. See https://www.nexusformat.org/2014_How_to_find_default_data.html for a summary of the discussion.

type: (optional) NX_CHAR

Any of these values:

  • single: mirror with a single material as a reflecting surface

  • multi: mirror with stacked, multiple layers as a reflecting surface

description: (optional) NX_CHAR

bend_angle_x: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

bend_angle_y: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

interior_atmosphere: (optional) NX_CHAR

Any of these values: vacuum | helium | argon

external_material: (optional) NX_CHAR

external material outside substrate

m_value: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_UNITLESS}

The m value for a supermirror, which defines the supermirror regime in multiples of the critical angle of Nickel.

substrate_material: (optional) NX_CHAR

odd_layer_material: (optional) NX_CHAR

odd_layer_density: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_MASS_DENSITY}

layer_thickness: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

An array describing the thickness of each layer

GEOMETRY: (optional) NXgeometry

reflectivity: (optional) NXdata

Reflectivity as function of wavelength

shape: (optional) NXshape

A NXshape group describing the shape of the mirror

figure_data: (optional) NXdata

Numerical description of the surface figure of the mirror.
