Definition
This model calculates an empirical functional form for SAS data characterized by a broad scattering peak. Many SAS spectra are characterized by a broad peak even though they are from amorphous soft materials. For example, soft systems that show a SAS peak include copolymers, polyelectrolytes, multiphase systems, layered structures, etc.
The d-spacing corresponding to the broad peak is a characteristic distance between the scattering inhomogeneities (such as in lamellar, cylindrical, or spherical morphologies, or for bicontinuous structures).
The scattering intensity \(I(q)\) is calculated as
Here the peak position is related to the d-spacing as \(q_0 = 2\pi / d_0\).
\(A\) is the Porod law scale factor, \(n\) the Porod exponent, \(C\) is the Lorentzian scale factor, \(m\) the exponent of \(q\), \(\xi\) the screening length, and \(B\) the flat background.
For 2D data the scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D, where the \(q\) vector is defined as
