Sphere/shell models

This group of distribution models represents spin labels in simple partitions of 3D space.

Model function Description
dd_sphere Labels distributed in a sphere
dd_spheresurf Labels distributed on a sphere’s surface
dd_spherepoint One label fixed, other label distributed in a sphere
dd_shell Labels distributed on a spherical shell
dd_shellsphere Labels distributed on a sphere inside a spherical shell
dd_shellshell Labels distributed on a spherical shell inside another spherical shell
dd_shellvoidshell Labels distributed on two spherical shells separated by a void
dd_shellvoidsphere Labels distributed on a sphere inside a spherical shell separated by a void

Toy models

This group contains distribution models that have absolutely no physical relevance. They are useful as distributions to test numerical algorithms.

Model function Description
dd_circle Semi-circle distribution
dd_triangle Triangle distribution
dd_uniform Uniform distribution

Background models

Physical models

This category involves models that describe particular distributions of spin labels in space. These models depend on physical parameters such as spin concentration, exclusion distances, and dimensionality.

Model function Description
bg_hom3d Homogeneous distribution in 3D
bg_hom3dex Homogeneous distribution in 3D with hard-shell excluded volume
bg_homfractal Homogeneous distribution in fractal dimensions

Phenomenological models

This category comprises phenomenological models that represent various mathematical functions that are intended to mimick the background decay, without reference to a particular spatial distribution of spins. The parameters of these models do no have direct physical meaning.

Model function Description
bg_exp Exponential decay
bg_strexp Stretched exponential decay
bg_sumstrexp Sum of two stretched exponential decays
bg_prodstrexp Product of two stretched exponential decays
bg_poly1 Linear polynomial
bg_poly2 Quadratic polynomial
bg_poly3 Cubic polynomial
