What is it about?

The integral expressions of the correlation functions and its first two derivates are worked out for the case of amorphous muliphase systems.

Why is it important?

The formulae esplicitly show how the relevant physical quantities depend on the geometry and the relative configuration of samples' interfaces. In particular, the zero-distance limits of the first and the second derivative respectively depend on the interface areas and on the edge lengths and related dihedral angles.

Perspectives

Tthe aforesaid two limiits determine the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering intensity do that from the experimatally observed behaviour one could extract useful constraints or even determine some of the aforesaid geometrical quanitites.
