Building structures¶

Guide to assembling stratified stacks in refloxide: homogeneous slabs, mixed materials, callable depth laws, named functional forms, phase transitions, diffusion profiles, and multi-layer stacking.

This section replaces the former single-page “Built-in slabs” guide.

Figure builders live in docs/guides/builtin_slabs/build_figures.py.

Regenerate figures:

uv run python docs/guides/builtin_slabs/build_figures.py

Depth panels: left = sharp, right = erf-broadened interfacial roughness (display convention; kernel Nevot–Croce is unchanged). Reflectivity panels use refloxide.tmm.uniaxial_reflectivity at 284.4 eV over \(q \in [0.008,\,0.275]\,\mathrm{\AA}^{-1}\) (near the full accessible window at this energy).
