Description
A Double-cylinder shaped all-incoherent scatterer
with both elastic, quasielastic (Lorentzian), and tunneling (sharp)
components. No multiple scattering. Absorbtion included.
The shape of the sample may be a box with dimensions xwidth, yheight, zdepth.
The area to scatter to is a disk of radius 'focus_r' situated at the target.
This target area may also be rectangular if specified focus_xw and focus_yh
or focus_aw and focus_ah, respectively in meters and degrees.
The target itself is either situated according to given coordinates (x,y,z),
or defined with the relative target_index of the component to focus
to (next is +1).
This target position will be set to its AT position. When targeting to
centered components, such as spheres or cylinders, define an Arm component
where to focus to.
The outgoing polarization is calculated as for nuclear spin incoherence:
P' = 1/3*P-2/3P = -1/3P
As above multiple scattering is ignored .
Example: Tunneling_sample(thickness=0.001,radius=0.01,yheight=0.02,focus_r=0.035,
target_index=1)
