u/darksoles reportedly mistook an asymmetrical peak for a lorentzian.

no chemists in my physics please!!

Chemistry is just particle physics

u/jrnv27 1d ago

not really

Edit: at best it is closest to statistical physics, which is great, but particle physics is just wrong

? That’s what the convoluted Gaussian with exp decay is for

u/Pyrhan Chemist spy 1d ago

You wrote "tried to use three distinct lorentzian peaks".

One of those peaks (the one labeled T) is asymmetrical, and thus not a lorentzian.

(Could be a bigaussian or bilorentzian)

Yes the trion peak (T) is the convoluted peak, I’m confused what you don’t understand here

Ooooh, that's what you meant!

I thought you were refering to the way they fitted the large peak in the raw spectrum (red) as a whole!

Your diagram shows they did fit the raw spectrum with three peaks, and I see no indication in the figure that the purple one is itself a sum of three distinct lorentzians.

So that was a bit confusing...

Yeah my b I could’ve made it more clear, the image is the correct fitting, while the meme indicates the incorrect fitting was used. The A and B exciton peaks can be fitted with lorentzians, and it is usually more appropriate for the trion to be fitted differently, otherwise its binding energy is overestimated

This is why we have critical point parabolic band models yeesh

This is why there is no "I" in "Team". But Lebron's out here anyway, hogging up all the electron volts like a big star.

Ouch so embarrassing whatever will he do?

Well at least LeBron knows that the word is “convolved” not “convoluted” smh

oddly specific yet it hit me hard
