An approximation for the Voigt, this model simply sums equal FWHM Lorentzians and Gaussians. The parameter a directly computes the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM). The parameter a3 varies from 0 to 1, with 0 being a pure Lorentzian and 1 being a pure Gaussian.

Another Voigt approximation, this model has been used for fitting XPS spectra. It combines the Gaussian and Lorentzian in a multiplicative format. As with the Gaussian-Lorentzian sum function, the a3 parameter varies from 0 to 1. Here though, the pure Lorentzian occurs with a3=1 and the pure Gaussian with an a3 =0. Another difference is that the degree of Lorentzian character is not a linear function of a3.

v5_Spectroscopy_GaussCnstr1.png

This model has no validity for fitting a single peak. The concept of this model is to fit many peaks with only two widths. The a2 width represents a constant line spread function, the width of each peak due to effects which have no frequency or energy dependence. The a3 term simply creates a scaled width which is linearly proportional to energy. It is not a width per se, but is used to produce a unique frequency-dependent width component for each peak. When fitting constrained Gaussians, a single a2 and a3 is always fit. Widths and shapes cannot be varied.
