Abstract
A simple model based on Gaussian statistics, aimed at describing localized diffusive translational motion in one, two, and three dimensions is presented and used to calculate the corresponding incoherent neutron scattering laws. In the time domain, these laws are closed form mathematical functions. In the frequency domain, some of these laws can be expressed as an infinite series depending on one single index. Owing to this relative simplicity, such a model can advantageously replace previous models such as diffusion on a segment, inside a circle and inside a sphere with an impermeable surface, to analyze neutron quasielastic scattering data associated with molecular motions in confined media. It may also be more realistic when the confinement is defined by soft, ill-defined boundaries.
