Dodecahedron

A regular dodecahedron.

Constructor

Dodecahedron(a)

Parameters:

  • a, length of the edge

Usage

As for any other Form factor.

Implementation

Class Dodecahedron inherits from the interface class IFormFactor .

Form factor computation is based on the generic form factor of a polyhedron with inversion symmetry provided by libformfactor .

Volume has been validated against $$ V= \dfrac{1}{4}(15+7\sqrt{5})a^3 \approx 7.663 \space a^3. $$

Example

Scattering by uncorrelated, oriented truncated dodecahedra for horizontal incidence:
