Custom formfactor

Scattering from a monodisperse distribution of particles, whose form factor is defined by the user.

  • This example shows how users can simulate their own particle shape by implementing the analytical expression of its form factor.
  • The particular shape used here is a polyhedron, whose planar cross section is a “plus” shape with a side length of $20$ nm and a height of $15$ nm.
  • These particles are distributed on a substrate.
  • There is no interference between the scattered waves.
  • The wavelength is equal to 0.1 nm.
  • The incident angles are $\alpha_i = 0.2 ^{\circ}$ and $\varphi_i = 0^{\circ}$.
