 +== Energy scans on Ni (pi correction)==
 +To show the asymmetry between sigma and pi polarization one can multiply the pi-polarization by <m> cos(2theta)^2 </m>
 +{{ :documentation:all_escan_corrected.gif?direct& |}}
 +
 +
 +====== Fitting: An overview ======
 +
 +Each of the reflectivities were fitted independently. The fit procedure was done with the simplex algorithm 
 +up to 500 iterations. For delta and beta, the tabulated values were taken.
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Fitting thickness, interface roughness, surface roughness and multiplicator together ====
 +
 +== Thickness ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_thickness.png?direct& |}}
 +  - thickness around 90 to 100 Angstrom
 +  - off resonant: thickness is constant (98 Angstrom)
 +  - off resonant: thicker film of around 1 Angstrom for pi polarization
 +  - La M5: left side of peak reduced thickness, right Ok
 +  - La M4: left side of peak reduced thickness, right seems Ok
 +  - Ni L3: reduced thickness, strong polarization dependent (vice versa to off-resonant)
 +  - Ni L2: reduced thickness
 +
 +== Multiplicator ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_multiplicator.png?direct& |}}
 +  - off resonant: factor around 3e-5
 +  - strong influence on the number of points (peaks and noise effects). => Muliplicator can have a large error.
 +  - almost a factor of 5 difference between off and on resonance
 +
 +== Interface roughness ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_sigma1.png?direct& |}}
 +  - roughness varies between 0 and 10 Angstrom. 
 +  - off resonance: not constant
 +  - off resonance: increasing with higher energy
 +  - on resonance: sigma is often zero. 
 +  - depends on the number of points +- 2 Angstrom  
 +
 +== Surface roughness ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_sigma2.png?direct& |}}
 +  - off resonance: surface roughness around 3-5 Angstrom
 +  - on resonance: roughness can drop to zero
 +  - depends on the number of points +- 1 Angstrom
 +
 +
 +== Error of fit ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_error2.png?direct& |}}
 +  - error is small off resonance, large on resonance
 +
 +
 +====== Fitting: Refining ======
 +
 +  - Set multiplicator. This must be constant in that range. Off resonant fit very well, so choose 3e-5 as multiplicator.
 +  - set maximum roughness of the surface to 7 Angstrom
 +
 +==== Fitting thickness, interface roughness, surface roughness together ====
 +
 +This gives almost the same results as the first fit. But the error changes especially on resonant on the La-edges,.
 +
 +{{ :documentation:fit2_refl.png?direct& |}}
 +
 +  - the top two curves are the measurement, the bottom two curves are the fit.
 +
 +
 +====== Fitting: Optical constants ======
 +
 +  - Fixed thickness to 98.5 Angstrom
 +  - Fit delta and beta of substrate independently ( no Kramers-Kronig relation)
 +
 +==== Fitting interface roughness, surface roughness and delta, beta of LSAT ====
 +
 +
 +== delta and beta ==
 +{{ :documentation:fit_delta_substrate.png?direct& |}}
 +{{ :documentation:fit_beta_substrate.png?direct& |}}
 +
 +  - huge underestimate of the size of peaks. (The La peak of LAO is not really a good replacement)
 +  - almost no difference between sigma and pi
 +  - off resonant fits very well with chantler tables 
 +
 +
 +==== Apply Kramers-Kronig ====
 +
 +  - Because of the disturbance of the Ni L3 edge  one has to fit a lorentzian to the La M4 edge and take this values for the higher energies (850-860 eV).
 +
 +== Fit Lorentzian to the M4 peak ==
 +{{ :documentation:kk_fit_lorentz.png?direct& |}}
 +
 +
 +
 +  - take the new values for delta and beta and put them to chantler. 
 +  - calculate Kramers-Kronig   beta->delta and delta->beta
