iFit/sqw_vaks

PURPOSE ^

model = sqw_vaks(p, h,k,l,w, {signal}) : dispersion(HKL) in perovskites ABX3 with DHO(energy)

SYNOPSIS ^

function signal=sqw_vaks(varargin)

DESCRIPTION ^

 model = sqw_vaks(p, h,k,l,w, {signal}) : dispersion(HKL) in perovskites ABX3 with DHO(energy)

   iFunc/sqw_vaks: a 4D S(q,w) with a HKL dispersion, and a DHO line
      shape, based on a parameterisation by Vaks, suited for ABX3 perovskite 
      compounds. This parameterisation is based on a quadratic expansion of the
      Hamiltonian, valid for e.g. |k|<.3 rlu in a cubic 
      crystal and provides energies of TA1,TA2,LA,TO1 and TO2 modes.

 WARNING:
      Single intensity and line width parameters are used here.
      The HKL position is relative to the closest Bragg peak. 

   The acoustic parameters can be related to the elastic constants as:
     At= (C12+2C44)/rho [meV2/rlu2]
     Al=  C44/rho
     Aa= (C11-C12-2C44)/rho
   with rho=density of the crystal [g/cm3]

 Example:
 s=sqw_vaks('KTaO3'); qh=linspace(0,.5,50);qk=qh; ql=qh; w=linspace(0.01,10,51);
 f=iData(s,[],qh,qk,ql,w); scatter3(log(f(:,:,1,:)),'filled');
