EISFDiffSphere¶

Description¶

This fitting function models the elastic incoherent intensity of a particle undergoing continuous diffusion but confined to a spherical volume [1], EISFDiffSphere.

$EISF(Q) = (3 \frac{j_1(QR)}{QR})^2(Q\cdot R)$

$R$ units are inverse of $Q$ units. Because of the spherical symmetry of the problem, the structure factor is expressed in terms of the $j_l(z)$ spherical Bessel functions.

Usage¶

Example - fit of Q-dependence:

from __future__ import print_function

q =  [0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9]
# A=2.0 and R=0.5
eisf = [1.9910173378712506, 1.9751335160492454,
        1.9515113999365767, 1.9203919612905054,
        1.8820909475511156, 1.8369942556092735,
        1.7855523076069868, 1.7282735296640419,
        1.6657170499144847]
w = CreateWorkspace(q, eisf, NSpec=1)
results = Fit('name=EISFDiffSphere', w, WorkspaceIndex=0)
print(results.Function)

Output:

name=EISFDiffSphere,A=2,R=0.5
