two_lorentzian

This model calculates an empirical functional form for SAS data characterized by two Lorentzian-type functions.

Definition

The scattering intensity \(I(q)\) is calculated as

\[I(q) = \frac{A}{1 +(Q\xi_1)^n} + \frac{C}{1 +(Q\xi_2)^m} + \text{B}\]

where \(A\) = Lorentzian scale factor #1, \(C\) = Lorentzian scale #2, \(\xi_1\) and \(\xi_2\) are the corresponding correlation lengths, and \(n\) and \(m\) are the respective power law exponents (set \(n = m = 2\) for Ornstein-Zernicke behaviour).

For 2D data the scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D, where the \(q\) vector is defined as

\[q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2}\]
