Effect of polydispersity. Scattering curves of our simple cubic crystal (a = 3.5 nm and 10 × 10 × 10 subunits), with spheres of radius 1.5 nm as subunits. We then added a Gaussian distribution function with a standard deviation of 0.3 nm to the radius of the spheres (with a mean at the inputted radius) to simulate the effect of polydispersity in the model. The minima, related to sphere radius, have shifted and are a lot less prominent, as would be expected from a polydispersed system. |
