24 | This model provides the scattering intensity, $I(q) = P(q) S(q)$, for a |
---|
25 | lamellar phase where a random distribution in solution are assumed. |
---|
26 | Here a Caille $S(Q)$ is used for the lamellar stacks. |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | The scattering intensity $I(q)$ is |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | .. math: |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | I(q) = 2\pi \frac{P(q)S(q)}{\delta q^2} |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | The form factor is |
---|
35 | |
---|
36 | .. math: |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | P(q) = \frac{2\Delta\rho^2}{q^2}\left(1-\cos q\delta \right) |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | and the structure factor is |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | .. math: |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | S(q) = 1 + 2 \sum_1^{N-1}\left(1-\frac{n}{N}\right) |
---|
45 | \cos(qdn)\exp\left(-\frac{2q^2d^2\alpha(n)}{2}\right) |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | where |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | .. math: |
---|
50 | |
---|
51 | \begin{eqnarray} |
---|
52 | \alpha(n) &=& \frac{\eta_{cp}}{4\pi^2} \left(\ln(\pi n)+\gamma_E\right) \\ |
---|
53 | \gamma_E &=& 0.5772156649 && \text{Euler's constant} \\ |
---|
54 | \eta_{cp} &=& \frac{q_o^2k_B T}{8\pi\sqrt{K\overline{B}}} && \text{Caille constant} |
---|
55 | \end{eqnarray} |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | Here $d$ = (repeat) spacing, $\delta$ = bilayer thickness, |
---|
58 | the contrast $\Delta\rho$ = SLD(headgroup) - SLD(solvent), |
---|
59 | $K$ = smectic bending elasticity, $B$ = compression modulus, and |
---|
60 | $N$ = number of lamellar plates (*n_plates*). |
---|
61 | |
---|
62 | NB: **When the Caille parameter is greater than approximately 0.8 to 1.0, the |
---|
63 | assumptions of the model are incorrect.** And due to a complication of the |
---|
64 | model function, users are responsible for making sure that all the assumptions |
---|
65 | are handled accurately (see the original reference below for more details). |
---|
66 | |
---|
67 | Non-integer numbers of stacks are calculated as a linear combination of |
---|
68 | results for the next lower and higher values. |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | The 2D scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D, where the |
---|
71 | $q$ vector is defined as |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | .. math:: |
---|
74 | |
---|
75 | q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2} |
---|
76 | |
---|
77 | The returned value is in units of |cm^-1|, on absolute scale. |

---|
84 | provided by the NIST Center for Neutron Research (Kline, 2006). |
