Description
XMU files are used in X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). These files contain raw or processed spectral data specifically the x-ray absorption coefficient as a function of energy. XMU files contain 7 columns: energy, data as μ(E), background, pre-edge, post-edge line, derivative, and second derivative for a Data object. The files are associated with the software Demeter and the user interface Athena.
