XAFSmass is a program for calculating the mass of XAFS [X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure] samples.
The chemical formula parser understands parentheses and weight percentage, also in nested form.
XAFSmass reports the quantity (weight, thickness or pressure) together with the expected height
of the absorption edge. The GUI is provided by Qt.
