2This model describes the scattering from polymer chains subject to excluded
3volume effects and has been used as a template for describing mass fractals.
4
5Definition
6----------
7
8The form factor was originally presented in the following integral form
9(Benoit, 1957)
10
11.. math::
12
13    P(Q)=2\int_0^{1}dx(1-x)exp\left[-\frac{Q^2a^2}{6}n^{2v}x^{2v}\right]
14
15where $\nu$ is the excluded volume parameter
16(which is related to the Porod exponent $m$ as $\nu=1/m$ ),
17$a$ is the statistical segment length of the polymer chain,
18and $n$ is the degree of polymerization.
19
20This integral was put into an almost analytical form as follows
21(Hammouda, 1993)
22
23.. math::
24
25    P(Q)=\frac{1}{\nu U^{1/2\nu}}
26    \left\{
27        \gamma\left(\frac{1}{2\nu},U\right) -
28        \frac{1}{U^{1/2\nu}}\gamma\left(\frac{1}{\nu},U\right)
29    \right\}
30
31and later recast as (for example, Hore, 2013; Hammouda & Kim, 2017)
32
33.. math::
34
35    P(Q)=\frac{1}{\nu U^{1/2\nu}}\gamma\left(\frac{1}{2\nu},U\right) -
36    \frac{1}{\nu U^{1/\nu}}\gamma\left(\frac{1}{\nu},U\right)
37
38where $\gamma(x,U)$ is the incomplete gamma function
39
40.. math::
41
42    \gamma(x,U)=\int_0^{U}dt\ \exp(-t)t^{x-1}
43
44and the variable $U$ is given in terms of the scattering vector $Q$ as
45
46.. math::
47
48    U=\frac{Q^2a^2n^{2\nu}}{6} = \frac{Q^2R_{g}^2(2\nu+1)(2\nu+2)}{6}
49
50The two analytic forms are equivalent. In the 1993 paper
51
52.. math::
53
54    \frac{1}{\nu U^{1/2\nu}}
55
56has been factored out.
57
58**SasView implements the 1993 expression**.
59
60The square of the radius-of-gyration is defined as
61
62.. math::
63
64    R_{g}^2 = \frac{a^2n^{2\nu}}{(2\nu+1)(2\nu+2)}
65
66.. note::
67    This model applies only in the mass fractal range (ie, $5/3<=m<=3$ )
68    and **does not apply** to surface fractals ( $3<m<=4$ ).
69    It also does not reproduce the rigid rod limit (m=1) because it assumes chain
70    flexibility from the outset. It may cover a portion of the semi-flexible chain
71    range ( $1<m<5/3$ ).
72
73A low-Q expansion yields the Guinier form and a high-Q expansion yields the
74Porod form which is given by
75
76.. math::
77
78    P(Q\rightarrow \infty) = \frac{1}{\nu U^{1/2\nu}}\Gamma\left(
79    \frac{1}{2\nu}\right) - \frac{1}{\nu U^{1/\nu}}\Gamma\left(
80    \frac{1}{\nu}\right)
81
82Here $\Gamma(x) = \gamma(x,\infty)$ is the gamma function.
83
84The asymptotic limit is dominated by the first term
85
86.. math::
87
88    P(Q\rightarrow \infty) \sim \frac{1}{\nu U^{1/2\nu}}\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2\nu}\right) =
89    \frac{m}{\left(QR_{g}\right)^m}\left[\frac{6}{(2\nu +1)(2\nu +2)} \right]^{m/2}
90    \Gamma (m/2)
91
92The special case when $\nu=0.5$ (or $m=1/\nu=2$ ) corresponds to Gaussian chains for
93which the form factor is given by the familiar Debye function.
94
95.. math::
96
97    P(Q) = \frac{2}{Q^4R_{g}^4} \left[\exp(-Q^2R_{g}^2) - 1 + Q^2R_{g}^2 \right]
98
99For 2D data: The 2D scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D,
100where the $q$ vector is defined as
101
102.. math::
103
104    q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2}
