Description

Default

volfraction

([0.0, 1]) volume fraction of blocks.

0.05

radius

Å

([0.0, inf]) radius of particles.

5.0

fractal_dim

([0.0, 6.0]) fractal dimension.

2.0

Å

([0.0, inf]) cluster correlation length.

100.0

sld_block

1e-6/Å\(^{2}\)

([-inf, inf]) scattering length density of particles.

2.0

sld_solvent

1e-6/Å\(^{2}\)

1

focus_xw

m

horiz. dimension of a rectangular area.

0.5

focus_yh

m

, vert. dimension of a rectangular area.

0.5

focus_aw

deg
