fuzzy_sphere_extended

Description:

Definition
----------
This model expands the fuzzy sphere model to include the high q contributions
associated with density fluctuations from self-avoiding random walk polymers.
The scattering intensity $I(q)$ is given as

$I(q) = \text{scale} \times V (\Delta \rho)^2 (P_{fs}(q) + P_{b}(q))$

Where $P_{fs} = A(q)^2$ is the fuzzy sphere form factor.


$A(q) = \frac{3\left[\sin(qR) - qR \cos(qR)\right]}{(qR)^3}
\exp\left(\frac{-(\sigma_\text{fuzzy}q)^2}{2}\right)$

The $P_{b}(q)$ term accounts for the density fluctuations of polymer chains
within a 'blob' of radius, $\xi$ (i.e., the correlation length of the density
fluctuations), and is given by


$P_b(q) = \frac{a_b}{\mu q_b} \frac{\sin(\mu \arctan(q_b))}{(1+q_b^2)^{\mu/2}}$
$\mu = \nu^{-1}-1$
$q_b = \frac{q\xi}{\left[\text{erf}\left(\frac{qR_g}{\sqrt{6}}\right)\right]^3}$

Where $\nu$ is the Flory-Huggins parameter, $R_g$ is the radius of gyration of
the polymer chain, and $a_b$ is the relative amplitude of $P_b(q)$ to $P_{fs}(q)$.
