erlab.analysis.fit.functions.general

Some general functions and utilities used in fitting.

Many functions are numba-compiled for speed.

Note

numba-compiled functions do not accept xarray objects. To broadcast over xarray objects, use xarray.apply_ufunc().

erlab.analysis.fit.functions.general.dynes(x, n0=1.0, gamma=0.003, delta=0.01)[source]

Dynes formula for superconducting density of states.

The formula is given by [4]:

\[N_0 \text{Re}\left[\frac{|x| + i \Gamma}{\sqrt{(|x| + i \Gamma)^2 - \Delta^2}}\right]\]

where \(x\) is the binding energy, \(N_0\) is the normal-state density of states at the Fermi level, \(\Gamma\) is the broadening term, and \(\Delta\) is the superconducting energy gap.

Parameters:
  • x (array-like) – The input array of energy in eV.

  • n0 (default: 1.0) – \(N_0\), by default 1.0.

  • gamma (default: 0.003) – \(\Gamma\), by default 0.003.

  • delta (default: 0.01) – The superconducting energy gap \(\Delta\), by default 0.01.

erlab.analysis.fit.functions.general.fermi_dirac(x, center, temp)[source]

Fermi-dirac distribution.

\[\frac{1}{1 + e^{(x-x_0)/k_B T}}\]
Parameters:
  • x (ndarray[Any, dtype[float64]]) – Energy values at which to calculate the Fermi edge.

  • center (float) – The Fermi level.

  • temp (float) – The temperature in K.

erlab.analysis.fit.functions.general.fermi_dirac_broad(x, center, temp, resolution)[source]

Resolution-broadened Fermi edge.

The Fermi edge is calculated as:

\[\frac{1}{1 + e^{(x-x_0)/k_B T}} \otimes \text{g}(\sigma)\]

where \(\text{g}(\sigma)\) is a Gaussian kernel with standard deviation \(\sigma\). Note that the resolution is given in FWHM rather than the standard deviation.

Parameters:
  • x (ndarray[Any, dtype[float64]]) – The energy values at which to calculate the Fermi edge.

  • center (float) – The Fermi level.

  • temp (float) – The temperature in K.

  • resolution (float) – The resolution of the Gaussian kernel in eV. Note that this is the FWHM of the Gaussian kernel, not the standard deviation.

erlab.analysis.fit.functions.general.fermi_dirac_linbkg(x, center, temp, back0, back1, dos0, dos1)[source]

Fermi-dirac edge with linear backgrounds above and below the fermi level.

Parameters:
  • x (ndarray[Any, dtype[float64]]) – The energy values at which to calculate the Fermi edge.

  • center (float) – The Fermi level.

  • temp (float) – The temperature in K.

  • back0 (float) – The constant background above the Fermi level.

  • back1 (float) – The slope of the background above the Fermi level.

  • dos0 (float) – The constant background below the Fermi level.

  • dos1 (float) – The slope of the background below the Fermi level.

Note

back0 and back1 corresponds to the linear background above and below EF (due to non-homogeneous detector efficiency or residual intensity on the phosphor screen during swept measurements), while dos0 and dos1 corresponds to the linear density of states below EF including the linear background.
