A plane wave: Phase fronts (planes of equal phase)
Point scatter: Scattering vector
Form factor scattering Independent scatterers:
Form factor scatteringAn example: a uniform sphere In reality:
Form factor scatteringAn example: a uniform sphere Guinier range: I(K) exp(-RgK)2/3) LOG-LOG plot: Porod range: I(K) A/K4 total surface area
2p/d experimental Form Factor 4 orders of magnitude variation Dangerous region
‘1D object’ orientational average ‘2D object’ Form factor scatteringMore examples: disks & rods
Form factor scatteringMore examples: Dumbbells R = 95 nm Johnson et al. (Utrecht); published in Langmuir (2005)
SANS: structure factor effect in dipolar chains M. Klokkenburg et al., to be published.
