dTheorySingleExp_Nonerg_ISF(lagtime, tau, s, C)¶ Theoretical model with an exponential term for the intermediate scatting function. Also contains a non-ergodicity parameter. With this, the ISF will decay to the non-ergodicity paramter (C), instead of to zero as is the case with ergodic systems.
- Parameters
lagtime (array) – 1D array of the lagtimes
tau (float) – The characteristic decay time
s (float) – Stretching exponent
C (float) – The non-ergodicity parameter
- Returns
ddm_matrix – DDM matrix as shown in equation below
- Return type
array
Notes
\[\begin{split}f(q, \Delta t) = e^{\left( \frac{-\Delta t}{\tau}\right)^{s}} + C \\ D(q, \Delta t) = A \times (1 - f(q, \Delta t)) + B\end{split}\]A non-ergodic model was used in the paper below. 1
