Figure 8
Calculated scattering from ensembles of spheres with number density varying as a function of radius, N(r) = r−a. The heterogeneous distribution of radii fills in the troughs in the calculated scattering from a single sphere (seen in Fig. 6). It also mixes scattering patterns that have different qmin below which the power-law behavior ends. That leads to scattering with different apparent slopes. Left: scattering from ten ensembles with a = [1,10]. Right: linear fits to the calculated intensities for a = [1,4]. |
