Experiment at GALAXI

This is an example of a real data fit. We use our own measurements performed at the laboratory diffractometer GALAXI in Forschungszentrum Jülich.

Real-space model

Fit window

  • The sample represents a 4 layer system (substrate, teflon, hmdso and air) with Ag nanoparticles placed inside the hmdso layer on top of the teflon layer.
  • The sample is generated with the help of a SampleBuilder, which is able to create samples depending on parameters defined in the constructor and passed through to the create_sample method.
  • The nanoparticles have a broad log-normal size distribution.
  • The rectangular detector is created to represent the PILATUS detector from the experiment (line 19).
  • In the simulation settings the beam is initialized and the detector is assigned to the simulation. A region of interest is assigned at line 39 to simulate only a small rectangular window. Additionally, a rectangular mask is added to exclude the reflected beam from the analysis (line 40).
  • The real data is loaded from a tiff file into a histogram representing the detector’s channels.
  • The run_fitting() function contains the initialization of the fitting kernel: loading experimental data, assignment of fit pair, fit parameters selection (line 62).
