5 | Calculates the macroscopic scattering intensity for a multi-component |
---|
6 | homogeneous mixture of polymers using the Random Phase Approximation. |
---|
7 | This general formalism contains 10 specific cases |
---|
8 | |
---|
9 | Case 0: C/D binary mixture of homopolymers |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | Case 1: C-D diblock copolymer |
---|
12 | |
---|
13 | Case 2: B/C/D ternary mixture of homopolymers |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | Case 3: C/C-D mixture of a homopolymer B and a diblock copolymer C-D |
---|
16 | |
---|
17 | Case 4: B-C-D triblock copolymer |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | Case 5: A/B/C/D quaternary mixture of homopolymers |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | Case 6: A/B/C-D mixture of two homopolymers A/B and a diblock C-D |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | Case 7: A/B-C-D mixture of a homopolymer A and a triblock B-C-D |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | Case 8: A-B/C-D mixture of two diblock copolymers A-B and C-D |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | Case 9: A-B-C-D tetra-block copolymer |
---|
28 | |
---|
29 | .. note:: |
---|
30 | These case numbers are different from those in the NIST SANS package! |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | The models are based on the papers by Akcasu *et al.* and by |
---|
33 | Hammouda assuming the polymer follows Gaussian statistics such |
---|
34 | that $R_g^2 = n b^2/6$ where $b$ is the statistical segment length and $n$ is |
---|
35 | the number of statistical segment lengths. A nice tutorial on how these are |
---|
36 | constructed and implemented can be found in chapters 28 and 39 of Boualem |
---|
37 | Hammouda's 'SANS Toolbox'. |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | In brief the macroscopic cross sections are derived from the general forms |
---|
40 | for homopolymer scattering and the multiblock cross-terms while the inter |
---|
41 | polymer cross terms are described in the usual way by the $\chi$ parameter. |
---|
42 | |
---|
43 | USAGE NOTES: |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | * Only one case can be used at any one time. |
---|
46 | * The RPA (mean field) formalism only applies only when the multicomponent |
---|
47 | polymer mixture is in the homogeneous mixed-phase region. |
---|
48 | * **Component D is assumed to be the "background" component (ie, all contrasts |
---|
49 | are calculated with respect to component D).** So the scattering contrast |
---|
50 | for a C/D blend = [SLD(component C) - SLD(component D)]\ :sup:`2`. |
---|
51 | * Depending on which case is being used, the number of fitting parameters can |
---|
52 | vary. |
---|
53 | |
---|
54 | .. Note:: |
---|
55 | * In general the degrees of polymerization, the volume |
---|
56 | fractions, the molar volumes, and the neutron scattering lengths for each |
---|
57 | component are obtained from other methods and held fixed while The *scale* |
---|
58 | parameter should be held equal to unity. |
---|
59 | * The variables are normally the segment lengths ($b_a$, $b_b$, |
---|
60 | etc.) and $\chi$ parameters ($K_{ab}$, $K_{ac}$, etc). |
