ElasticDiffSphere¶

Description¶

This fitting function models the elastic part of the dynamics structure factor of a particle undergoing continuous diffusion but confined to a spherical volume, ElasticDiffSphere.

\[S(Q,E\equiv \hbar \omega) = (3 \frac{j_1(QR)}{QR})^2(Q\cdot R) \delta (\omega)\]

Because of the spherical symmetry of the problem, the structure factor is expressed in terms of the \(j_l(z)\) spherical Bessel functions.
