Comparative analysis of scattering functions for an ensemble of optically homogeneous hard spheres with varying degrees of polydispersity. (a) Probability density function illustrating the Schulz–Flory distributed radius R. (b) Form factor P(Q). (c) Average structure factor 〈S(Q)〉. (d) Measurable structure factor SM(Q). All evaluated at a total volume fraction of φ = 0.5, spanning polydispersities from 5 to 25%. 〈R〉 denotes the mean radius of the spheres. |
