penelopetools.api.util.xraytransition.get_transitions_materials(materials, config_filepath, beam_energy=1000000.0)

Returns all the transitions for the elements in the materials if they are below the specified beam energy. The transitions are returned in a dictionary where the key is made out of the symbol of the element and the transition, and the value is the energy of the transition.

Parameters:

• materials (Materials) – materials
• config_filepath – path to the configuration file
• beam_energy – maximum energy of the allowed transitions (in eV)
