6Scattering Theory - Correlation
?p (r) ???u?? ??u) du
?p (r) is known as ????????????????????????
correlation function pair correlation
function fold of ? into itself self-convolutio
n function pair distribution function radial
distribution function Patterson function
7Scattering Theory - Correlation
?p (r) ???u?? ??u) du
?p (r) is known as ????????????????????????
correlation function But, whatever it's called,
it represents correlation betwn pair
correlation function ??u') and ??u) on
avg. fold of ? into itself self-convolution
function pair distribution function radial
distribution function Patterson function

9Scattering Theory - Correlation
?p (r) ???u?? ??u) du
More If we know A(S), then ??r) ?A(S)
exp (-2pi S rk) dS
10Scattering Theory - Correlation
?p (r) ???u?? ??u) du
More If we know A(S), then ??r) ?A(S)
exp (-2pi S rk) dS If we know I(S), then
??r) ?I(S) exp (-2pi S rk) dS
11Scattering Theory - Correlation
?p (r) ???u?? ??u) du
More If we know A(S), then ??r) ?A(S)
exp (-2pi S rk) dS If we know I(S),
then ??r) ?I(S) exp (-2pi S rk)
dS Note Since A(S) is complex, can only get
??r) from A(S) ??r) from I(S)
inverses..nothing else
12Scattering Theory - Correlation
Since A(S) is complex, can only get ??r) from
A(S) ??r) from I(S) inverses..nothing
else This means must model in some way to get
??r) from I(S) or ??r) Saxs uses ??r)
