Get Metal Composition for Chemisorption
Copy
mic.metal_composition(metal='', metal_property='', sample_number=0):
Get information about the active metals in this sample
Keyword arguments:
metal --- the metal to return information about
if '' or None, then return a list of the
active metals
metal_property --- the specific property to return information on
if '' or None, then return all the properties
for the specified metal (requires metal to be
specified)
sample_number --- Identifier for the metal data to retrieve
0 : current sample file (default)
1 through 8 : corresponding overlay sample file
Usage:
metal_list = mic.metal_composition()
copper_prop = mic.metal_composition('copper')
copper_perc = mic.metal_composition('copper',
'percent of sample mass')
In the above first usage case, the list of active metals is returned.
In the above second usage case, a python dictionary type
is returned which includes all the properties of the metal
available and their corresponding values. The last case returns
a single value (int, float, or string) for the specified property.
The metal_property keywords which one can use are
atomic weight
oxygen atoms
density
percent of sample mass
metal atoms
cross sectional area
percent reduced
stoichiometry GASNAME
where in the last keyword one substitutes the desired gas name to
obtain its stoichiometry factor. One can also make the call
metal_composition(metalname) without any metal_property keyword
provided to see the whole dictionary of keywords and values.
