ElasticDiffRotDiscreteCircle

Description

Summary

This fitting function models the elastic part of the dynamics structure factor of a particle undergoing discrete jumps on N-sites evenly distributed in a circle. The particle can only jump to neighboring sites. This is the most common type of discrete rotational diffusion in a circle.

S(Q,E) \equiv = \int e^{-iEt/\hbar} I(Q,t) dt = A_0(Q,r) \delta (E)

A_0(Q,r) = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{k=1}^{N} j_0( 2 Q r sin(\frac{\pi k}{N}) )

This function makes up the elastic part of DiffRotDiscreteCircle.
