The SAXSSpheres McXtrace Component

12.14  The SAXSSpheres McXtrace Component

A sample of monodisperse spherical particles in solution.

Identification

  • Author: Martin Cramer Pedersen (mcpe@nbi.dk)

  • Origin: KU-Science

  • Date: May 2, 2012

Description

A simple component simulating the scattering from a box-shaped, thin solution of monodisperse, spherical particles.

Example: SAXSSpheres( xwidth = 0.01, yheight = 0.01, zdepth = 0.01, R = 50.0, SampleToDetectorDistance = 0.5, DetectorRadius = 0.1 )

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
