iFit/sw_mff

PURPOSE ^

returns the magnetic form factor values and the coefficients

SYNOPSIS ^

function [formFactVal, coeff, S] = sw_mff(atomName, Q)

DESCRIPTION ^

 returns the magnetic form factor values and the coefficients

 [formFactVal, coeff, S] = SW_MFF(atomName, {Q})

 Input:

 atomName      String, contains the name of the magnetic ion in FullProf
               notation (e.g. Cr^3+ --> 'MCR3' or 'Cr3'). It can be also a
               vector of the 7 coefficients, see below. If the string
               contains whitespace, the first word will be used as input.
 Q             Momentum transfer in Angstrom^-1 units with dimensions of
               [1 nQ] or [3 nQ], optional.

 Output:

 formFactVal   Value of form factor, evaluated at the Q points if Q is
               defined.
 coeff         Form factor coefficients according to the following
               formula:
               <j0(Qs)> = A*exp(-a*Qs^2) + B*exp(-b*Qs^2) + C*exp(-c*Qs^2) + D*exp(-d*Qs^2) + E,
               where Qs = Q/(4*pi) and A, a, B, ... are the coefficients.
               Optionally the (D,d) coefficients are zero.

 S             Value of the spin quantum number (last column in ion.dat).
