AXEAP : a software package for X-ray emission data analysis using unsupervised machine learning

The Argonne X-ray Emission Analysis Package ( AXEAP ) has been developed to calibrate and process X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) data collected with a two-dimensional (2D) position-sensitive detector. AXEAP is designed to convert a 2D XES image into an XES spectrum in real time using both calculations and unsupervised machine learning. AXEAP is capable of making this transformation at a rate similar to data collection, allowing real-time comparisons during data collection, reducing the amount of data stored from gigabyte-sized image files to kilobyte-sized text files. With a user-friendly interface, AXEAP includes data processing for non-resonant and resonant XES images from multiple edges and elements. AXEAP is written in MATLAB and can run on common operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

The AXEAP2 program for K β X-ray emission spectra analysis using artificial intelligence

The processing and analysis of synchrotron data can be a complex task, requiring specialized expertise and knowledge. Our previous work addressed the challenge of X-ray emission spectrum (XES) data processing by developing a standalone application using unsupervised machine learning. However, the task of analyzing the processed spectra remains another challenge. Although the non-resonant K β XES of 3 d transition metals are known to provide electronic structure information such as oxidation and spin state, finding appropriate parameters to match experimental data is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Here, a new XES data analysis method based on the genetic algorithm is demonstrated, applying it to Mn, Co and Ni oxides. This approach is also implemented as a standalone application, Argonne X-ray Emission Analysis 2 ( AXEAP2 ), which finds a set of parameters that result in a high-quality fit of the experimental spectrum with minimal intervention. AXEAP2 is able to find a set of parameters that reproduce the experimental spectrum, and provide insights into the 3 d electron spin state, 3 d –3 p electron exchange force and K β emission core-hole lifetime.
