Particle structures

BornAgain supports two- and three-dimensional particle arrangements through dedicated structure classes.

2D structures

Particles deposited on a surface or suspended from an interface. Use Dilute2D or Dense2D for disordered assemblies, and structures like Crystal1D, Crystal2D, FiniteCrystal2D, or RadialParacrystal for ordered or partially ordered systems.

Add these structures to a layer with deposit2D, addDeposit2D, suspend2D, or addSuspend2D.

See 2D structures for details on interference functions and size-distribution models.

3D structures

Particles distributed throughout a layer’s volume, such as nanoparticles in a polymer film. Use Dilute3D for uncorrelated volume distributions and add them with fill3D or add3D.

See 3D structures for details on correlation models.

History

3D structures were introduced in BornAgain 24.
