The Voight function (as opposed to the pseudo-Voight) is defined in terms of
the complex error function which is in turn defined in terms of the Gamma
function. The pseudo-Voight is simply the sum of a Cauchy & Gauss profile. Here
are a few references on the Voight function:

Suortti et al, J. Appl. Cryst 12 (1979) 365-369.
Young & Wiles, J. Appl. Cryst 15 (1982) 430-438.
Ahtee et al, J. Appl. Cryst 17 (1984) 352-357.
