Analyzing specular reflectivities with parametric B-splines

  • 1. National Inst. of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD (United States). Materials Science and Engineering Lab.

Description

A method of using parametric B-spline curves to interpret neutron and x-ray specular reflectivity spectra is described. The introduction of parametric curves for scattering length density profiles greatly expands the function space accessible to low-dimensional representations but also requires means to restrict the space to physically acceptable functions. A practical fitting procedure is outlined, and two examples are shown
