Revision as of 10:03, 3 June 2014
A common question for new GISAXS users is: "What software can I use to analyze my data?" Unfortunately, there is no single package that will allow you to perform any possible analysis. This is in part due to the diversity of possible kinds of data analysis one might want to do on GISAXS or GIWAXS images. The following lists a variety of packages that are available.
Contents
Data Viewing, Reduction, and Simple Analysis
These packages provide ways to view data, and perform simple operations (linecuts, etc.).
Geared towards 2D data
- Fit2D: A well-known package for treatment and conversion 2D scattering images.
- ImageJ: A generic tool for image treatment and analysis. Can be used to open and process x-ray detector images.
- view.gtk: A simple interface for viewing 2D data, calibrating your data into q-space, and extracting linecuts. Written by Lin Yang for the X9 beamline at NSLS.
- [Download here.] Installation requires GTK libraries.
- GIXSGUI: Visualization and reduction package for GISAXS. Requires the commerical Matlab software. Written by Zhang Jiang.
Geared towards 1D data
- NCNR SANS/USANS Package: Set of tools for reducing SANS and USANS data. Requires the commercial IgorPro software.
- Citation: S.R. Kline "Reduction and Analysis of SANS and USANS Data using Igor Pro", J. Appl. Cryst. 2006, 39, 6, 895. doi:10.1107/S0021889806035059
- Indra 2: Reduction of USAXS data. Requires the commerical IgorPro software. Written for the 15ID instrument at APS.
- DPDAK: Open-source Python tool for analyzing large sets of SAXS data. Wrosk on Linux and Windows.
Data Modeling and Fitting
SAXS
- NCNR SANS/USANS Package: Can model form factors for many common object shapes in solution. Requires the commercial IgorPro software.
- Citation: S.R. Kline "Reduction and Analysis of SANS and USANS Data using Igor Pro", J. Appl. Cryst. 2006, 39, 6, 895. doi:10.1107/S0021889806035059
- Scatter: Targetted towards analysis of transmission-mode SAXS and SANS. Allows modeling of nano- and meso-structrue materials (surfactants, lipids, micelles, vesicles, block-copolymers, etc.).
GISAXS
- IsGISAXS: GISAXS analysis and simulation software. Enables prediction of 2D scattering patterns, including the effects of DWBA and its variants. Written by Rémi Lazzari.
- Citation: R. Lazzari "IsGISAXS: a program for grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering analysis from supported islands", J. Appl. Cryst. 2002, 35, 406-421. doi: 10.1107/S0021889802006088
- Official page.
- BornAgain: Python implementation of DWBA modeling (similar to IsGISAXS, but more modern). Allows for GISANS and GISAXS simulation and fitting. Available on Linux and MacOS. Written by the Scientific Computing Group at MLZ Garching.
- HipGISAXS: A high-performance (GPU and massively parallel) C++ software for simulating GISAXS data.
- Citation: S. Chourou, A. Sarje, X.S. Li, E. Chan, A. Hexemer, "HipGISAXS: A High Performance Computing Code for Simulating Grazing Incidence X-Ray Scattering Data" Journal of Applied Crystallography 2013, 46, 6, 1781-1795. doi: 10.1107/S0021889813025843

- Official page.
Reflectivity
- Reflfit: NIST software for fitting neutron (or x-ray) reflectivity curves.
- Motofit: Co-refinement of multiple contrast reflectometry data (x-ray or neutron). Written by Andrew Nelson, ANSTO, Australia.
- Citation: Nelson, A. "Co-refinement of multiple contrast neutron / X-ray reflectivity data using MOTOFIT." Journal of Applied Crystallography 2006, 39, 273-276. doi: 10.1107/S0021889806005073
