1. This is not an algorithm. However this fit function is a used through the Fit v1 algorithm.
3. ThermalNeutronBk2BkExpConvPVoigt is not a regular peak function to fit individual peaks. It is not allowed to set FWHM or peak centre to this peak function.
A thermal neutron back-to-back exponential convoluted with pseuduo-voigt
peakshape function is indeed a back-to-back exponential convoluted with
pseuduo-voigt peakshape function, while the parameters are not directly given, but calculated from a set of parameters that
are universal to all peaks in powder diffraction data.
The purpose to implement this peak shape is to perform Le Bail Fit and other data analysis on time-of-flight powder diffractometers’ data in Mantid. It is the peak shape No. 10 in Fullprof. See Refs. 1.
Thermal neutron back to back exponential convoluted with pseudo voigt peak function is a back to back exponential convoluted with pseudo voigt peak function. Its difference to a regular back to back exponential convoluted with pseudo voigt peak functiont is that it is a function for all peaks in a TOF powder diffraction pattern, but not a single peak.
Furthermore, the purpose to implement this function in Mantid is to refine multiple parameters including crystal sample’s unit cell parameters. Therefore, unit cell lattice parameters are also included in this function.
1. setFWHM() 2. setCentre() : peak centre is determined by a set of parameters including lattice parameter, Dtt1, Dtt1t, Zero, Zerot, Dtt2t, Width and Tcross. Therefore, it is not allowed to set peak centre to this peak function.
A back-to-back exponential convoluted with pseuduo-voigt peakshape function for is defined as
For back-to-back exponential:
For psuedo-voigt
The parameters and
represent the absolute
value of the exponential rise and decay constants (modelling the neutron
pulse coming from the moderator) , L’(x) stands for Lorentzian part and
G’(x) stands for Gaussian part. The parameter
is the
location of the peak; more specifically it represent the point where the
exponentially modelled neutron pulse goes from being exponentially
rising to exponentially decaying.
