Neutron Scattering XOP
Neutron Scattering XOP
This external operation (XOP) adds a set of functions to Igor Pro that are useful for neutron scattering users, especially when dealing with polarised beams. This XOP provides 46 functions related with:
- Reciprocal lattice calculations,
- Count rates calculations,
- Peak centering calculations,
- Optimizations,
- Flipping ratios and asymmetries calculations,
- 3He spin filter calculations.
This plug-in is free and may be improved on request. For using it, download the disk image file containing the XOP and the Help files. Then, put both in the Igor Extensions folder and relaunch Igor.
