Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
AnalysisMode Input string LoadReduceAnalyse In the first case, all the algorithm is run. In the second case, the data are not re-loaded, and only the TOF and y-scaling bits are run. In the third case, only the y-scaling final analysis is run. Allowed values: [‘LoadReduceAnalyse’, ‘ReduceAnalyse’, ‘Analyse’]
IPFile Input string Mandatory The instrument parameter file. Allowed values: [‘par’]
NumberOfIterations Input number 2 Number of time the reduction is reiterated. Allowed values: [‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’]
OutputName Input string polyethylene The base name for the outputs.
Runs Input string 38898-38906 List of Vesuvio run numbers (e.g. 20934-20937, 30924)
Spectra Input long list 135,182 Range of spectra to be analysed (first, last).
TOFRangeVector Input dbl list 110,1.5,460 In micro seconds (lower bound, binning, upper bound).
TransmissionGuess Input number 0.9174 A number from 0 to 1 to represent the experimental transmission value of the sample for epithermal neutrons. This value is used for the multiple scattering corrections. If 1, the multiple scattering correction is not run.
MultipleScatteringOrder Input number 2 Order of multiple scattering events in MC simultation. Allowed values: [‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’]
MonteCarloEvents Input number 1000000 Number of events for MC multiple scattering simulation.
ComptonProfile Input TableWorkspace Mandatory Table for Compton profiles
ConstraintsProfileNumbers Input long list 0,1  
ConstraintsProfileScatteringCrossSection Input string 2.*82.03/5.551 The ratio of the first to second intensities, each equal to atom stoichiometry times bound scatteringcross section. Simple arithmetic can be included but the result may be rounded.
ConstraintsProfileState Input string eq Allowed values: [‘eq’, ‘ineq’]
SpectraToBeMasked Input long list    
SubtractResonancesFunction Input string   Function for resonance subtraction. Empty means no subtraction.
YSpaceFitFunctionTies Input string   The TOF spectra are subtracted by all the fitted profiles about the first element specified in the elements string. Then such spectra are converted to the Y space of the first element (using the ConvertToYSPace algorithm). The spectra are summed together and symmetrised. A fit on the resulting spectrum is performed using a Gauss Hermte function up to the sixthorder.

Description

This algorithm allows the loading, reduction, and analysis of data obtained using Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS), also referred to as Neutron Compton Scattering (NCS), at the VESUVIO spectrometer. The algorithm has been developed by the VESUVIO Instrument Scientists, Giovanni Romanelli and Matthew Krzystyniak. A previous version of the algorithm was described in: G. Romanelli et al.; Journal of Physics: Conf. Series 1055 (2018) 012016.

DINS allows the direct measurements of nuclear kinetic energies and momentum distributions, thus accessing the importance of nuclear quantum effects in condensed-matter systems, as well as the degree of anisotropy and anharmonicity in the local potentials affecting nuclei. DINS data appear as a collection of mass-resolved peaks (Neutron Compton Profiles, NCPs), that are fitted independently in the time-of-flight spectra, using the formalism of the Impulse Approximation and the y-scaling introduced by G. B. West.

Additional information about DINS theory and applications can be found in the recent review: C. Andreani et al., Advances in Physics, 66 (2017) 1-73

Warning

This algorithm is still in development. If you encounter any problems please contact the Mantid team and the Vesuvio scientists.

Usage:

Example: Analysis of polyethylene

# create table of elements
table = CreateEmptyTableWorkspace()
table.addColumn(type="str", name="Symbol")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Mass (a.u.)")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Intensity lower limit")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Intensity value")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Intensity upper limit")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Width lower limit")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Width value")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Width upper limit")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Centre lower limit")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Centre value")
table.addColumn(type="double", name="Centre upper limit")
table.addRow(['H', 1.0079,  0.,1.,9.9e9,  3.,  4.5,  6.,  -1.5, 0., 0.5])
table.addRow(['C', 12.0,    0.,1.,9.9e9,  10., 15.5, 30., -1.5, 0., 0.5])

VesuvioAnalysis(IPFile = "ip2018.par", ComptonProfile = table, AnalysisMode = "LoadReduceAnalyse",
                NumberOfIterations = 2, OutputName = "polyethylene", Runs = "38898-38906", TOFRangeVector = [110.,1.5,460.],
                Spectra = [135,182], MonteCarloEvents = 1e3, ConstraintsProfileNumbers = [0,1],
                ConstraintsProfileScatteringCrossSection = "2.*82.03/5.51", SpectraToBeMasked = [173,174,181],
                SubtractResonancesFunction = 'name=Voigt,LorentzAmp=1.,LorentzPos=284.131,LorentzFWHM=2,GaussianFWHM=3;',
                YSpaceFitFunctionTies = "(c6=0., c4=0.)")

fit_results = mtd["polyethylene_H_JoY_sym_Parameters"]

print("variable", "value")
for row in range(fit_results.rowCount()):
    print(fit_results.column(0)[row],"{:.3f}".format(fit_results.column(1)[row]))

Output:

variable value
f1.sigma1 4.931
f1.c4 0.000
f1.c6 0.000
f1.A 0.080
f1.B0 0.000
Cost function value 0.200
