Definition
----------
Calculates the form factor for a rectangular solid with a core-shell structure.
The thickness and the scattering length density of the shell or "rim" can be
different on each (pair) of faces. The three dimensions of the core of the
parallelepiped (strictly here a cuboid) may be given in *any* size order as
long as the particles are randomly oriented (i.e. take on all possible
orientations see notes on 2D below). To avoid multiple fit solutions,
especially with Monte-Carlo fit methods, it may be advisable to restrict their
ranges. There may be a number of closely similar "best fits", so some trial and
error, or fixing of some dimensions at expected values, may help.
The form factor is normalized by the particle volume $V$ such that
.. math::
I(q) = \frac{\text{scale}}{V} \langle P(q,\alpha,\beta) \rangle
+ \text{background}
where $\langle \ldots \rangle$ is an average over all possible orientations
of the rectangular solid, and the usual $\Delta \rho^2 \ V^2$ term cannot be
pulled out of the form factor term due to the multiple slds in the model.
The core of the solid is defined by the dimensions $A$, $B$, $C$ here shown
such that $A < B < C$.
.. figure:: img/parallelepiped_geometry.jpg
Core of the core shell parallelepiped with the corresponding definition
of sides.
There are rectangular "slabs" of thickness $t_A$ that add to the $A$ dimension
(on the $BC$ faces). There are similar slabs on the $AC$ $(=t_B)$ and $AB$
$(=t_C)$ faces. The projection in the $AB$ plane is
.. figure:: img/core_shell_parallelepiped_projection.jpg
AB cut through the core-shell parallelipiped showing the cross secion of
four of the six shell slabs. As can be seen, this model leaves **"gaps"**
at the corners of the solid.
The total volume of the solid is thus given as
.. math::
V = ABC + 2t_ABC + 2t_BAC + 2t_CAB
The intensity calculated follows the :ref:`parallelepiped` model, with the
core-shell intensity being calculated as the square of the sum of the
amplitudes of the core and the slabs on the edges. The scattering amplitude is
computed for a particular orientation of the core-shell parallelepiped with
respect to the scattering vector and then averaged over all possible
orientations, where $\alpha$ is the angle between the $z$ axis and the $C$ axis
of the parallelepiped, and $\beta$ is the angle between the projection of the
particle in the $xy$ detector plane and the $y$ axis.
.. math::
P(q)=\frac {\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}F^2(q,\alpha,\beta) \ sin\alpha
\ d\alpha \ d\beta} {\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \ sin\alpha \ d\alpha \ d\beta}
and
.. math::
F(q,\alpha,\beta)
&= (\rho_\text{core}-\rho_\text{solvent})
S(Q_A, A) S(Q_B, B) S(Q_C, C) \\
&+ (\rho_\text{A}-\rho_\text{solvent})
\left[S(Q_A, A+2t_A) - S(Q_A, A)\right] S(Q_B, B) S(Q_C, C) \\
&+ (\rho_\text{B}-\rho_\text{solvent})
S(Q_A, A) \left[S(Q_B, B+2t_B) - S(Q_B, B)\right] S(Q_C, C) \\
&+ (\rho_\text{C}-\rho_\text{solvent})
S(Q_A, A) S(Q_B, B) \left[S(Q_C, C+2t_C) - S(Q_C, C)\right]
with
.. math::
S(Q_X, L) = L \frac{\sin (\tfrac{1}{2} Q_X L)}{\tfrac{1}{2} Q_X L}
and
.. math::
Q_A &= q \sin\alpha \sin\beta \\
Q_B &= q \sin\alpha \cos\beta \\
Q_C &= q \cos\alpha
where $\rho_\text{core}$, $\rho_\text{A}$, $\rho_\text{B}$ and $\rho_\text{C}$
are the scattering lengths of the parallelepiped core, and the rectangular
slabs of thickness $t_A$, $t_B$ and $t_C$, respectively. $\rho_\text{solvent}$
is the scattering length of the solvent.
.. note::
the code actually implements two substitutions: $d(cos\alpha)$ is
substituted for -$sin\alpha \ d\alpha$ (note that in the
:ref:`parallelepiped` code this is explicitly implemented with
$\sigma = cos\alpha$), and $\beta$ is set to $\beta = u \pi/2$ so that
$du = \pi/2 \ d\beta$. Thus both integrals go from 0 to 1 rather than 0
to $\pi/2$.
FITTING NOTES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. There are many parameters in this model. Hold as many fixed as possible with
known values, or you will certainly end up at a solution that is unphysical.
#. The 2nd virial coefficient of the core_shell_parallelepiped is calculated
based on the the averaged effective radius $(=\sqrt{(A+2t_A)(B+2t_B)/\pi})$
and length $(C+2t_C)$ values, after appropriately sorting the three
dimensions to give an oblate or prolate particle, to give an effective radius
for $S(q)$ when $P(q) * S(q)$ is applied.
#. For 2d data the orientation of the particle is required, described using
angles $\theta$, $\phi$ and $\Psi$ as in the diagrams below, where $\theta$
and $\phi$ define the orientation of the director in the laboratry reference
frame of the beam direction ($z$) and detector plane ($x-y$ plane), while
the angle $\Psi$ is effectively the rotational angle around the particle
$C$ axis. For $\theta = 0$ and $\phi = 0$, $\Psi = 0$ corresponds to the
$B$ axis oriented parallel to the y-axis of the detector with $A$ along
the x-axis. For other $\theta$, $\phi$ values, the order of rotations
matters. In particular, the parallelepiped must first be rotated $\theta$
degrees in the $x-z$ plane before rotating $\phi$ degrees around the $z$
axis (in the $x-y$ plane). Applying orientational distribution to the
particle orientation (i.e `jitter` to one or more of these angles) can get
more confusing as `jitter` is defined **NOT** with respect to the laboratory
frame but the particle reference frame. It is thus highly recmmended to
read :ref:`orientation` for further details of the calculation and angular
dispersions.
.. note:: For 2d, constraints must be applied during fitting to ensure that the
order of sides chosen is not altered, and hence that the correct definition
of angles is preserved. For the default choice shown here, that means
ensuring that the inequality $A < B < C$ is not violated, The calculation
will not report an error, but the results may be not correct.
.. figure:: img/parallelepiped_angle_definition.png
Definition of the angles for oriented core-shell parallelepipeds.
Note that rotation $\theta$, initially in the $x-z$ plane, is carried
out first, then rotation $\phi$ about the $z$ axis, finally rotation
$\Psi$ is now around the $C$ axis of the particle. The neutron or X-ray
beam is along the $z$ axis and the detecotr defines the $x-y$ plane.

Examples of the angles for oriented core-shell parallelepipeds against the
detector plane.
Validation
----------
Cross-checked against hollow rectangular prism and rectangular prism for equal
thickness overlapping sides, and by Monte Carlo sampling of points within the
shape for non-uniform, non-overlapping sides.
