class easyreflectometry.sample.assemblies.multilayer.Multilayer[source]#

Bases: BaseAssembly

A multi layer is build from a single or a list of Layer or LayerCollection. The multi layer will arrange the layers as slabs, allowing the reflectometry to be determined from them. The front layer is where the neutron beam starts in, it has an index of 0.

More information about the usage of this assembly is available in the multilayer documentation
