or "Dynamic x-ray reflectivity (off-or-on resonance regime for isotropic, anisotropic and magnetic multilayers) simulation program" is a simulation tool to analyze structural, magnetic and electronic profiles along the growth direction of ultrathin layers. It simulates conventional x-ray or optical reflectivity, resonant (or "anomalous") x-ray reflectivity, "orbital reflectometry", magnetic resonant x-ray reflectivity with applications to magnetic or anisotropic layers, in hard or soft matter.

DYNA is an on-going open-source project, uses Python + Qt, or Matlab environment.

Formalisms

• Parratt
• Boundary-Propagation matrix

Features

• magnetic-sensitive susceptibility, arbitrary magnetic moment direction described by Euler angles, with the limitation of neglictible spin-orbit coupling in the valence states
• anisotropic susceptibility, in the limitation of an uniaxial symmetry along the depth of the film, for the simulation of oriented molecules or orbitally ordered films.
• Angular/Q scans
• Energy spectra at fix angle or fix Q
• Polarization Analysis, in and out
• Refinement in user-defined interval, with limits on parameters, and constrains between parameters
• Multifit: one system is refined by simultaneous simulations of various data (angle and energy scans, of any polarization, energy or angle configurations).
