What is Lorentzian peak?

Lorentzian (or Cauchy)

The Lorentzian is also a well-used peak function with the form: I(2θ) = w² w² + (2θ − 2θ₀)². where w is equal to half of the peak width (w = 0.5 H).

What is a Lorentzian curve?

the Lorenz curve, a graphical representation of the inequality in a quantity's distribution.

How do you find the FWHM of Lorentzian?

Lorentzian FWHM

FWHM is found by finding the values of x at 1/2 the max height.

What is the difference between Gaussian and Lorentzian?

The Gaussian curve is the classic 'bell-shaped' or 'normal' curve/distribution. The Lorentzian is somewhat narrower around its maximum and it extends out a little more than the Gaus- sian on its sides, i.e., the Lorentzian has 'wings'.
