material_xray_attenuation — TOMOGRAPHY spectral_xray op

• Data kinds: none → pairs (an op determined by its arguments alone — it takes no image or data input)

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.material_xray_attenuation(material='CU', e_min_kev: 'float' = 10.0, e_max_kev: 'float' = 150.0, n_points: 'int' = 141, quantity: 'str' = 'mu_rho', density_g_cm3=None) -> 'np.ndarray' (to call the implementation directly, import materials; materials.material_xray_attenuation(material='CU', e_min_kev: 'float' = 10.0, e_max_kev: 'float' = 150.0, n_points: 'int' = 141, quantity: 'str' = 'mu_rho', density_g_cm3=None) -> 'np.ndarray'; from the registry, opstomography.get("material_xray_attenuation"))

Usage

Return a material's X-ray attenuation as pairs (E [keV], value); the mass attenuation coefficient μ/ρ [cm²/g] by default.

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

material: 名前(WATER / MUSCLE / BONE / PVC / CU / SAPPHIRE …、material_xray_table の一覧)、化学式("Al2O3")、または {"composition": "C2H4" か {"SiO2": 0.7, …} か ((Z, w), …), "density_g_cm3": 0.93}。quantity: mu_rho(全減衰、干渉性散乱を含む)/ mu_en_rho(エネルギー吸収)/ mu(線減衰係数 μ = ρ·μ/ρ [1/cm]、密度が要る)。

格子は e_min_kev〜e_max_kev の対数等間隔 n_points 点。吸収端(Cu の K 端 8.979 keV など) の上下は表の 2 行のあいだで飛ぶ —— 格子に端ちょうどの点があれば端の上の値になる。表は 1 keV〜1 MeV(NIST の行の log–log 補間、NIST が推奨する補間)。範囲の外は ValueError。

公表値(NIST SRD 126): Cu の 8 keV で 52.55 cm²/g、K 端 8.979 keV で 38.29 → 278.4 cm²/g、水の 60 keV で 0.2059 cm²/g。
