Meso scale SAXS Powder Simulations

Primary LanguagePythonOtherNOASSERTION

This library allows the prediction/simulation of the one-dimensional (circular average) x-ray scattering curves for nanoscale superlattices (i.e. crystalline nano/meso-structures). The code can also be used to fit experimental data (I(q) or S(q)).
