Note that the values returned for all methods depend on the data resource used. See Xray::Absorption.
"mcmaster"
This is called "mcmaster" for historical reasons. It calculates the normalization correcion for a
given element.
$sigma_mm = Xray::FluorescenceEXAFS->mcmaster($element, $edge);
It takes the central atoms tag and the alphanumeric edge symbol as arguments and returns the
normalization correction in units of Angstrom squared.
"normalization" and "edgestep" are aliases for this method.
"i0"
This calculates the correcion due to the I0 fill gases in a fluorescence experiment.
$gases = {nitrogen=>$nitrogen, argon=>$argon, krypton=>$krypton};
$sigma_i0 = Xray::FluorescenceEXAFS->i_zero($central, $edge, $gases);
It takes the central atoms tag, the alphanumeric edge symbol, and a reference to a hash containing
the volume percentages of the three gases as arguments. It assumes that any remaining volume is
filled with helium and it correctly accounts for the fact that nitrogen is a diatom. It returns the
I0 correction in units of Angstrom squared.
"i_zero" and "izero" are aliases for this method.
"self"
This calculates the correcion due to self-absorption fluorescence experiment. It assumes that the
sample is infinately thick and that the entry and exit angles of the photons are the same.
$contents = {Y=>1, Ba=>2, Cu=>3, O=>7};
($amp_i0, $sigma_i0) = Xray::FluorescenceEXAFS->self($central, $edge, $contents);
It takes the central atoms tag, the alphanumeric edge symbol, and a reference to a hash which counts
the atoms in the unit cell. It returns a list whose zeroth element is the multiplicative amplitude
correction and whose first element is the sigma^2 correction in units of Angstrom squared.
"overabsorption" is an aliases for this method.
