Indirect Geometry Changes¶
New Features¶
- The Elwin tab in Inelastic Data Analysis has a new loader which now allows users to add workspaces. 
 
- Fit functions ElasticIsoRotDiff and InelasticIsoRotDiff have been made available in the ConvFit tab in the Inelastic Data Analysis interface. 
Improvements¶
- Single input has been removed from the Inelastic Data Analysis Fit tabs. All data input is now done via the multiple input dialog. 
- The data input widgets in the Inelastic Data Analysis Fit tabs has been made dockable and can be resized once undocked. 
- Updated Inelastic Data Analysis and Elwin and I(Q,t) documentation with new screenshots and details of the new Elwin loader. 
Bugfixes¶
- A bug has been fixed in Inelastic Data Analysis on the F(Q)Fit Multiple Input tab that allowed duplicate spectra to be added. 
- A bug has been fixed that stopped additional spectra being added to Inelastic Data Analysis if spectra from that workspace had already been added. 
- A bug has been fixed in Inelastic Data Analysis that limited the integration range on the tabs to between -1 and 1. 
- A bug has been fixed in Elwin tab that caused Mantid to crash if a file of the wrong format was loaded. 
Algorithms¶
New Features¶
- A new option - Autoconvolutionis added to the Abins Algorithm. This enables simulation of quantum orders up to order 10 by convolving the highest calculated spectrum (order 1 or 2) against the fundamentals spectrum repeatedly, before applying Debye-Waller terms. (NB: This has introduced small numerical differences from previous versions of Abins, because data is now binned before applying Debye-Waller terms. This difference will converge with small bin sizes.)
Improvements¶
- Introduced multithreading for detectors/spectra to VesuvioCalculateMS in order to speed up the VesuvioAnalysis algorithm. 
- The Abins Algorithm can now import XML data from VASP calculations using - selective dynamicsto restrict the set of atoms active in vibrations. The data is imported and processed as though these are the only atoms in the system, with appropriately-dimensioned displacement data. This approximation is useful for the study of light (e.g. organic) molecules adsorbed to surfaces of heavy (e.g. noble-metal) catalysts.
- Abins Algorithm: Thresholding of low-intensity modes has been changed. This impacts the second-order spectrum, especially at elevated temperature; excitations were being discarded on the basis of a low intensity in the fundamental spectrum, when they could contribute to a noticeable peak in the second-order spectrum. 
Bugfixes¶
- IndirectILLEnergyTransfer will now perform the monitor normalisation correctly; that is, in wavelength instead of energy. It will also provide the monitor workspace as a diagnostic output, if requested.
