&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Derivations==&lt;br /&gt;
===Form Factor===&lt;br /&gt;
For a sphere of radius &amp;#039;&amp;#039;R&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the volume is:&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We can use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system spherical coordinates], where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; denotes the angle with respect to the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;+q_z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; axis, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the in-plane angle (i.e. with respect to the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;+x&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; axis):&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp; \mathbf{r} = (x,y,z) = (r\sin\theta\cos\phi , r\sin\theta\sin\phi , r\cos\theta) \\&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp; \mathbf{q} = (q_x,q_y,q_z) \\&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp; q = |\mathbf{q}|^2 = \sqrt{ q_x^2 + q_y^2 + q_z^2 }&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Where the form factor is:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
F_{sphere}(\mathbf{q}) &amp;amp; = \int\limits_V e^{i \mathbf{q} \cdot \mathbf{r} } \mathrm{d}\mathbf{r} \\&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi}\int_{r=0}^{R} e^{i \mathbf{q} \cdot \mathbf{r} } r^2 \mathrm{d}r \sin\theta \mathrm{d}\theta \mathrm{d}\phi \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We take advantage of spherical symmetry. E.g. we can rotate any &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; onto a particular axis, such as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;q_z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. So that:&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathbf{q}=(0,0,q_z) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
\mathbf{q}\cdot\mathbf{r} &amp;amp; =q_x x + q_y y + q_z z \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = q_z z \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = q r \cos\theta&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And so:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
F_{sphere}(q) &amp;amp; = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \mathrm{d}\phi \int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{R} e^{i q r \cos\theta } r^2 \mathrm{d}r \sin\theta \mathrm{d}\theta  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = [2\pi]  \int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{R} ( \cos(q r \cos\theta) + i \sin(q r \cos\theta)  ) r^2 \mathrm{d}r \sin\theta \mathrm{d}\theta&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A simple variable substitution:&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;u = q r \cos\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathrm{d}u = - q r \sin\theta \mathrm{d}\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yields:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
F_{sphere}(q) &amp;amp; = 2\pi  \int_{0}^{R} r^2 \left[\int_{0}^{\pi}( \cos(u) + i \sin(u)  )\frac{-\mathrm{d}u}{q r} \right] \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 2\pi  \int_{0}^{R} r^2 \frac{-1}{qr} \left[ \sin(u) - i \cos(u)  \right]_{\theta=0}^{\pi} \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 2\pi  \int_{0}^{R} \frac{-r}{q} \left[ \sin(q r \cos\theta) - i \cos(q r \cos\theta)  \right]_{\theta=0}^{\pi} \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 2\pi  \int_{0}^{R} \frac{-r}{q} \left[ \sin(- q r ) - i \cos(- q r) - \sin(q r) + i \cos(q r)  \right] \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 2\pi  \int_{0}^{R} \frac{r}{q} \left[ 2 \sin(q r ) \right] \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \frac{4\pi}{q}  \int_{0}^{R} r \sin(q r ) \mathrm{d}r  \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_integrals_of_trigonometric_functions#Integrands_involving_only_sine the fact that]:&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\int x\sin ax\;dx = \frac{\sin ax}{a^2}-\frac{x\cos ax}{a}+C\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We integrate:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
F_{sphere}(q) &amp;amp; = \frac{4\pi}{q}  \left[ \frac{\sin(qr)}{q^2} - \frac{r\cos(qr)}{q} \right]_{r=0}^R  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \frac{4\pi}{q}  \left[ \frac{\sin(qR)}{q^2} - \frac{R\cos(qR)}{q} - \frac{\sin(0)}{q^2} + \frac{0\cos(q0)}{q} \right]  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \frac{4\pi}{1}  \left[ \frac{\sin(qR)}{q^3} - \frac{R\cos(qR)}{q^2} - 0 + 0 \right]  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 4\pi  \left[ \frac{\sin(qR)}{q^3} - \frac{R\cos(qR)}{q^2} \right]  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 4\pi R^3  \left[ \frac{\sin(qR)}{q^3R^3} - \frac{qR\cos(qR)}{q^3R^3} \right]  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \frac{3\times4\pi R^3}{3}  \left[ \frac{\sin(qR)-qRcos(qR)}{q^3R^3} \right]  \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = 3 V_{sphere} \frac{  \sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR) }{ (qR)^3 }&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;amp; = V_{sphere} \\&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Isotropic Form Factor Intensity===&lt;br /&gt;
To average over all possible orientations, we use:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
P(q) &amp;amp; = \int\limits_{S} | F(\mathbf{q}) |^2 \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s} \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = \int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi} | F(-q\sin\theta\cos\phi,q\sin\theta\sin\phi,q\cos\theta)|^2 \sin\theta\mathrm{d}\theta\mathrm{d}\phi&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a sphere:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
P_{sphere}(q) &amp;amp; = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} | F_{sphere}(q) |^2 \sin\theta\mathrm{d}\theta\mathrm{d}\phi \\&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp; = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \left| 3 V_{sphere} \frac{  \sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR) }{ (qR)^3 } \right|^2 \sin\theta\mathrm{d}\theta\mathrm{d}\phi&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the spherical symmetry guarantees that the integrand does not depend on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
P_{sphere}(q) &amp;amp; = \left( 3 V_{sphere} \frac{  \sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR) }{ (qR)^3 } \right)^2 \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin\theta\mathrm{d}\theta\mathrm{d}\phi \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =  3^2 V_{sphere}^2 \left( \frac{  \sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR) }{ (qR)^3 } \right)^2 \left[\int_{0}^{2\pi}\mathrm{d}\phi\right]\left[\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin\theta\mathrm{d}\theta\right] \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =  9 V_{sphere}^2  \frac{  (\sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ (qR)^6 }  \left[ 2\pi \right]\left[ 2 \right] \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =  36 \pi V_{sphere}^2  \frac{  (\sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ (qR)^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Isotropic Form Factor Intensity at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;=0===&lt;br /&gt;
At &amp;#039;&amp;#039;q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;=0, we expect:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
P_{sphere}\left(0\right) = 4 \pi V_{sphere}^2&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Isotropic Form Factor Intensity at large &amp;#039;&amp;#039;q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Note that:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
P_{sphere}(q) &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =  36 \pi V_{sphere}^2  \frac{  (\sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ (qR)^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =   36 \pi \left( \frac{4 \pi R^3}{3} \right)^2  \frac{  (\sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ q^6 R^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =   64 \pi^3 \frac{  (\sin(qR)-qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ q^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For large &amp;#039;&amp;#039;q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-q R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; term dominates the numerator:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
\lim_{q \rightarrow \infty} P_{sphere}(q) &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =   \lim_{q \rightarrow \infty} 64 \pi^3 \frac{  (\sin(qR) - qR \cos(qR))^2 }{ q^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =   \lim_{q \rightarrow \infty} 64 \pi^3 \frac{  q^2 R^2 \cos^2(qR) }{ q^6 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; =   64 \pi^3 R^2 \lim_{q \rightarrow \infty}  \frac{  \cos^2(qR) }{ q^4 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The oscillation of the numerator is overwhelmed by the decay of the denominator:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{alignat}{2}&lt;br /&gt;
\lim_{q \rightarrow \infty} P_{sphere}(q) &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; \approx   \frac{  64 \pi^3 R^2  }{ q^4 } \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{alignat}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
