- # This is a rough approach to fit a model function to the density
- # data of a liquid crystal. The function consists of a linear
- # branch for the high temperature region and of a curved branch with
- # linear asymptote for the low temperatuer branch
- #
-
- # free parameters:
- # m1, m2 slopes of the linear function in the low and high T region
- # Tc transition temperature
- # dens_Tc density at the transition temperature
- # g factor to scale tanh function
