Caution: CXRO includes Compton scattering when calculating the absorption length, while Refrac does not. The difference becomes obvious for materials of light elements when energy is >10 Kev.
For example, the following script plots dispersion and absorption of SiO2 for X-ray energies between 0.1-10 KeV:
>>x = 10.^linspace(log10(0.1), log10(10), 1000); % list of X-ray energies (KeV)
>>y = refrac('SiO2', x, 2.648); % give chemical formula and mass density to calculate properties of SiO2
>>loglog(x*1000, y.dispersion, x*1000, y.absorption); % plot in eV

For usage, in Matlab command window, type ">>help refrac".
refrac Material property when interacting with x-rays.
Usage: result = refrac(Chemical Formula,Energy,MassDensity)
Input:
1) Chemical formula. Can be either cell array (for multiple
formulas) or single string. Formula is case sensitive (e.g. CO
for Carbon Monoxide vs Co for Cobalt);
2) Energy (0.03KeV~30KeV). Can be single or list.
3) List of mass densities (g/cm^3);
Output: Can be either cell of structures (if input formular is cell
array) or single structure (if input is single string) with the
following elements:
1) Chemical formula;
2) Molecular weight;
3) Number of electrons per molecule;
4) Mass density (g/cm^3);
5) Electron density (1/A^3);
6) X-ray energy (KeV);
7) Corresponding X-ray wavelength (A);
8) Dispersion;
9) Absorption;
10) Critical angle (degree);
11) Attenuation length (cm);
12) Real part of scattering length density (SLD) (A^-2);
13) Imaginary part of SLD (A^-2).
