2 | This model calculates the form factor for a flexible cylinder with an |
---|
3 | elliptical cross section and a uniform scattering length density. |
---|
4 | The non-negligible diameter of the cylinder is included by accounting |
---|
5 | for excluded volume interactions within the walk of a single cylinder. |
---|
6 | The form factor is normalized by the particle volume such that |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | .. math:: |

9 | |
---|
10 | P(q) = \text{scale} \left<F^2\right>/V + \text{background} |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | where the averaging $\left<\ldots\right>$ is over all possible orientations |
---|
13 | of the flexible cylinder. |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | The 2D scattering intensity is the same as 1D, regardless of the orientation |
---|
16 | of the q vector which is defined as |
---|

23 | Definitions |
---|
24 | ----------- |
---|
25 | |
---|
26 | The function calculated in a similar way to that for the flexible_cylinder model |
---|
27 | from the reference given below using the author's "Method 3 With Excluded Volume". |
---|
28 | The model is a parameterization of simulations of a discrete representation of |
---|
29 | the worm-like chain model of Kratky and Porod applied in the pseudo-continuous |
---|
30 | limit. See equations (13, 26-27) in the original reference for the details. |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | .. note:: |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | There are several typos in the original reference that have been corrected |
---|
35 | by WRC. Details of the corrections are in the reference below. Most notably |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | - Equation (13): the term $(1 - w(QR))$ should swap position with $w(QR)$ |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | - Equations (23) and (24) are incorrect; WRC has entered these into |
---|
40 | Mathematica and solved analytically. The results were then converted to |
---|
41 | code. |
---|
42 | |
---|
43 | - Equation (27) should be $q0 = max(a3/sqrt(RgSquare),3)$ instead of |
---|
44 | $max(a3*b/sqrt(RgSquare),3)$ |
---|
45 | |
---|
46 | - The scattering function is negative for a range of parameter values and |
---|
47 | q-values that are experimentally accessible. A correction function has been |
---|
48 | added to give the proper behavior. |

53 | The chain of contour length, $L$, (the total length) can be described as a chain |
---|
54 | of some number of locally stiff segments of length $l_p$, the persistence length |
---|
55 | (the length along the cylinder over which the flexible cylinder can be considered |
---|
56 | a rigid rod). |
---|
57 | The Kuhn length $(b = 2*l_p)$ is also used to describe the stiffness of a chain. |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | The cross section of the cylinder is elliptical, with minor radius $a$ . |
---|
60 | The major radius is larger, so of course, **the axis ratio (parameter 5) must be |
---|
61 | greater than one.** Simple constraints should be applied during curve fitting to |
---|
62 | maintain this inequality. |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | The returned value is in units of $cm^{-1}$, on absolute scale. |
---|
65 | |
---|
66 | In the parameters, the $sld$ and $sld\_solvent$ represent the SLD of the |
---|
67 | chain/cylinder and solvent respectively. The *scale*, and the contrast are both |
---|
68 | multiplicative factors in the model and are perfectly correlated. One or both of |
---|
69 | these parameters must be held fixed during model fitting. |
---|
70 | |
---|
71 | **No inter-cylinder interference effects are included in this calculation.** |
