Material reflection tables

The tables are from the article

** X-Ray Interactions: Photoabsorption, Scattering, Transmission, and Reflection at E=50-30.000eV, Z=1-92 **

B.L.Henke, E.M.Gullikson and J.C.Davis Center for X-Ray optics, lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, California 94720

And from various sources from https://refractiveindex.info/.

When possible, the two sources were merged (for example energies above 30eV are from Henke et al., and energies below from https://refractiveindex.info/)

Raw data

You can find the data in .csv files in Synrad's param/Materials folder (Gitlab link). The CSV file has the grazing angles (0 rad = parallel, PI/2 rad = perpendicular) in the header row, and the energy in eV in the header column.

A subset of materials is plotted below.
