model = sqw_acoustopt(p, h,k,l,w, {signal}) : acoutsic/optic dispersion(HKL) with DHO(energy) iFunc/sqw_acoustopt: a 4D S(q,w) with a 3D HKL dispersion with quadratic dependency, and a DHO line shape. This dispersion corresponds with a local description of an excitation, with its minimum around an (H0,K0,L0,E0) point. The model requires to define a direction corresponding with a Slope1 dependency as well as a second direction. An ortho-normal coordinate basis is then derived. All HKL coordinates are in rlu, and energies are in meV. The dispersion has the form: w(q) = sqrt(E0^2 + Slope^2*(q-HKL0)^2) so that when the dispersion is linear for E0=0 or far from HKL0, else it is quadratic. To define a pure acoustic mode, use (and adjust slopes): sqw_acoustopt(0) % minimum is E0=0 at q=0 To define an optical mode with energy E0 at Q=0, use: sqw_acoustopt([ E0 ]) % minimum is E0 at q=0 To define a mode which has its minimum E0 at a given HKL location, use: sqw_acoustopt([ H K L E0 ]) When creating the Model, the following syntax is possible: sqw_acoustopt(E0) centers the excitation at q=0 with energy E0 sqw_acoustopt([ h k l E0 ]) centers the excitation at q=[H K L] and energy E0 You can of course tune other parameters once the model object has been created. WARNING: Single intensity and line width parameters are used here. To model more than one branch, just add these models together.
