AI-reflectivity is a code based on artificial neural networks trained with simulated reflectivity data that quickly predicts film parameters from experimental X-ray reflectivity curves. This project has a common root with (ML-reflectivity)[https://github.com/schreiber-lab/ML-reflectivity] and evolved in parallel. Both are linked to the following publication:

X-ray reflectivity (XRR) is a powerful and popular scattering technique that can give valuable insight into the growth behavior of thin films. This study Shows how a simple artificial neural network model can be used to determine the thickness, roughness and density of thin films of different organic semiconductors [diindenoperylene, copper(II) phthalocyanine and alpha-sexithiophene] on silica from their XRR data with millisecond computation time and with minimal user input or a priori knowledge. For a large experimental data set of 372 XRR curves, it is shown that a simple fully connected model can provide good results with a mean absolute percentage error of 8–18% when compared with the results obtained by a genetic least mean squares fit using the classical Parratt formalism. Furthermore, current drawbacks and prospects for improvement are discussed.
