To develop an accessible numerical Fourier transformation method for calculating small-angle scattering intensity from arbitrary, densely packed particle geometries where standard analytical models fail.
Calculated scattering intensity on user-defined 2D and 3D cubic lattices using numerical Fourier transformation and spherical summation in reciprocal space.
Applied a smoothing algorithm and an exact mathematical correction to account for continuous rather than discrete lattice-point scattering densities.
Demonstrated that randomly packed parallel cylinders at volume fractions exceeding ~25% produce a distinct correlation peak, deviating from expected 1/q and 1/q⁴ power laws.
Identified that conventional peak-position analysis overestimates cylinder thickness by a factor of ~1.5.
Showed that densely packed mixtures of diverse rectangular boards generate an I(q) ≃ 1/q scattering profile without forming a correlation peak.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Numerical simulation demonstrates non-ideal scattering behavior in densely packed nanoparticles, indicating that traditional methods overestimate particle thickness by 1.5-fold.
