Based on explicit formulas of chord length density functions (CLDs) for a regular pentagon and a hexagon, the CLDs of infinitely long regular homogeneous pentagonal/hexagonal cylinders are discussed. Characteristic properties of the small-angle scattering of these cylinders are studied.

It is shown that it is possible to estimate the chord length distribution from small-angle scattering data by indirect Fourier transformation. This is done for several examples of scatterers varying in structure from globular to elongated as well as scatterers consisting of separated parts. The presented examples suggest that the chord length distribution may give additional information about the scatterer. Therefore it may be relevant to consider estimation of the chord length distribution as an additional tool for analysis of small-angle scattering data.

The analytical expression of the correlation function γ(r) for the cuboid with edgesa,bandcis established. The calculation is based on the chord-length distribution. Details of these structure functions at essentialrpositions are analysed, including higher derivatives of the correlation function at the maximum chord length. The result was checked on closer analysis of the corresponding scattering intensityI(h) and its asymptotic behaviourI∞(h).

For a spherical half-shell (SHS) of diameter D, analytic expressions of the small-angle scattering correlation function \gamma_0(r), the chord length distribution (CLD) and the scattering intensity are analyzed. The spherically averaged pair correlation function p_0(r)\simeq r^2\gamma_0(r) of the SHS is identical to the cap part of the CLD of a solid hemisphere of the same diameter. The surprisingly simple analytic terms in principle allow the determination of the size distribution of an isotropic diluted SHS collection from its scattering intensity.

The methods used to extract chord-length distributions from small-angle scattering data assume a structure consisting of spatially uncorrelated and disconnected convex regions. These restrictive conditions are seldom met for a wide variety of materials such as porous materials and semicrystalline or phase-separated copolymers, the structures of which consist of co-continuous phases that interpenetrate each other in a geometrically complex way. The significant errors that would result from applying existing methods to such systems are discussed using three distinct models for which the chord-length distributions are known analytically. The models are a dilute suspension of hollow spheres, the Poisson mosaic and the Boolean model of spheres.

An approximation for the small-angle scattering (SAS) correlation function (CF) β0(r) of a plane oval domainXis discussed. The approach is based on two parameters, the perimeteruand the surface areaSRS, ofX. The function β0(r) fixes the correlation function γ0(r) of the oval homogeneous rod with constant right sectionX. The mean chord lengthl1of such a rod is the root of the equation γ0(l1) = 1 − 8/(3π). For a dilute rod arrangement, the Porod lengthlpand γ′(l1), the value of the derivative of the sample CF atr=l1, are related by γ′(l1) = −4/(3πlp).

In this paper we obtain an elementary expression for the chord length distribution function of a regular polygon. The formula is derived using δ-formalism in Pleijel identity. In the particular cases of a regular triangle, a square, a regular pentagon, and a regular hexagon, our formula coincides with the results of Sulanke (1961), Gille (1988), Aharonyan and Ohanyan (2005), and Harutyunyan (2007), respectively.
