PDConvertReciprocalSpace v1¶

Summary¶

Transforms a Workspace2D between different reciprocal space functions.

Properties¶

Description¶

The neutron diffraction is measuring the differential scattering cross section (DCS(Q) in the algorithm)

Here the \(N\) is the number of scattered neutrons in unit time in a solid angle \(d\Omega\), and \(\phi\) is the incident neutron flux. The algorithm supports the following conversions:

where \(N_s\) is the number of scatters in the sample and both \(\langle b_{tot}^2 \rangle\) and \(\langle b_{coh} \rangle^2\) are defined in the Materials concept page.

NOTE: This algorithm requires that SetSampleMaterial v1 is called prior in order to determine the \(\langle b_{tot}^2 \rangle\) 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.

• \(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}(Q)\) conversions are:

  • To \(F(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.DCS_to_F()
  • To \(F_K(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.DCS_to_FK()
  • To \(S(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.DCS_to_S()

• \(S(Q)\) conversions are:

  • To \(F(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.S_to_F()
  • To \(F_K(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.S_to_FK()
  • To \(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.S_to_DCS()

• \(F(Q)\) conversions are:

  • To \(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.F_to_DCS()
  • To \(F_K(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.F_to_FK()
  • To \(S(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.F_to_S()

• \(F_K(Q)\) conversions are:

  • To \(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.FK_to_DCS()
  • To \(F(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.FK_to_F()
  • To \(S(Q)\) see pystog.converter.Converter.FK_to_S()

Usage¶

import wget
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mantid.simpleapi import CreateWorkspace, SetSampleMaterial, PDConvertReciprocalSpace
from mantid import plots

# Grab the reciprocal data for argon
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marshallmcdonnell/pystog/master/tests/test_data/argon.reciprocal_space.dat"
filename = wget.download(url)
q, sq, fq_, fk_, dcs_ = np.loadtxt(filename, skiprows=2, unpack=True)

# Convert S(Q) to Mantid wksp
s_of_q = CreateWorkspace(DataX=q, DataY=sq,
                       UnitX="MomentumTransfer",
                       Distribution=True)
SetSampleMaterial(InputWorkspace=s_of_q, ChemicalFormula='Ar')
f_of_q=PDConvertReciprocalSpace(InputWorkspace=s_of_q, From='S(Q)', To='F(Q)')
fk_of_q=PDConvertReciprocalSpace(InputWorkspace=s_of_q, From='S(Q)', To='FK(Q)')
dcs_of_q=PDConvertReciprocalSpace(InputWorkspace=s_of_q, From='S(Q)', To='DCS(Q)')

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={'projection':'mantid'})
ax.plot(s_of_q,'k-', label='$S(Q)$')
ax.plot(f_of_q,'r-', label='$F(Q)$')
ax.plot(fk_of_q,'b-', label='$F_K(Q)$')
ax.plot(dcs_of_q,'g-', label='$d\sigma / d\Omega(Q)$')
ax.legend() # show the legend
fig.show()
