Mucal on the web

Switch to the periodic table version of Mucal.

This is a program to calculate x-ray absorption coefficients. It uses the fortran subroutine mucal written by Pathikrit Bandyopadhyay. The sources for the subroutine (mucal_f and a c version, mucal_c) used to calculate the x-ray cross-sections are available.

If you want to know edge energies, fluorescence yield, etc. of an element fill in the symbol and submit query. For x-ray absorption coefficients, also fill in the energy of interest in the energy box.

Element Symbol:

Energy: keV   -   Please note that values above 500 will be treated as eV rather than keV

To submit the query, press: .

Calculations are based on data compiled By W. H.McMaster et. al.

Fluorescence yield data by M. O. Krause, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data. 8, 307(1979).
