These notebooks provide interactive, GUI-independent examples for users who
prefer to explore Dyna calculations step by step.
Available Notebooks
01_basic_reflectivity.ipynb
Builds the default W/Si sample, runs a Stepanov angle scan, plots the
reflectivity, and saves the calculated observables to CSV.
02_compare_formalisms.ipynb
Runs the Elzo and Stepanov formalisms on the same magnetic sample, plots the
two reflectivity curves, and reports the relative numerical difference.
03_kerr_faraday.ipynb
Evaluates Kerr and Faraday magneto-optical rotations for a published dielectric
tensor benchmark.
04_load_yaml_project.ipynb
Loads a YAML project file, inspects the sample, runs the simulation, and shows
the equivalent headless SimulationConfig workflow.
05_fit_experimental_data.ipynb
Creates a small synthetic dataset, fits one layer thickness without the GUI,
plots model/data/residuals, and writes fit outputs.

a Dyna source checkout. If no source checkout is found, they use the installedDynaRef package.
