Description

The neutron diffraction is measuring the differential scattering cross section. This can be converted to the structure factor S(Q). Using the PDFFourierTransform algorithm, one can obtain the pair distribution function, G(r):

(1)G(r)=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^\infty Q[S(Q)-1]\sin(Qr) dQ

One can transform between this quantity and GK(r) or g(r) using:

(2)GK(r)=\frac{\langle b_{coh} \rangle^2}{4\pi r\rho_0}G(r)

(3)g(r)=\frac{G(r)}{4\pi r\rho_0}+1

where \rho_0 is the sample number density and \langle b_{coh} \rangle^2 is defined in the Materials concept page.

NOTE: This algorithm requires that SetSampleMaterial v1 is called prior in order to determine the \rho_0 and \langle b_{coh} \rangle^2 terms.

PyStoG

This algorithm uses the external project PyStoG and specifically uses the pystog.converter.Converter object. To modify the underlying algorithms, the following functions are used for the conversions.

Usage

import wget
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mantid.simpleapi import CreateWorkspace
# Grab the real data for argon
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marshallmcdonnell/pystog/master/tests/test_data/argon.real_space.dat"
filename = wget.download(url)
r, gofr, GofR_, GKofR_ = np.loadtxt(filename, skiprows=2, unpack=True)

# Convert gofr to Mantid wksp
g_of_r = CreateWorkspace(DataX=r, DataY=gofr,
                         UnitX="Angstrom",
                         Distribution=True)
SetSampleMaterial(InputWorkspace=g_of_r, ChemicalFormula='Ar')
bigG_of_r=PDConvertRealSpace(InputWorkspace=g_of_r, From='g(r)', To='G(r)')
GK_of_r=PDConvertRealSpace(InputWorkspace=g_of_r, From='g(r)', To='GK(r)')

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={'projection':'mantid'})
ax.plot(g_of_r,'k-', label='$g(r)$')
ax.plot(bigG_of_r,'r-', label='$G(r)$')
ax.plot(GK_of_r,'b-', label='$G_K(r)$')
ax.legend() # show the legend
ax.set_xlabel('$r(\AA)$')
fig.show()

The output should look like:
