Abstract

The stability of the determination of particle size distributions using model small-angle scattering intensity from mixtures of polydisperse spherical and cylindrical particles has been analyzed. It is shown that when using a parametric distribution model, the probability of obtaining the correct nonlinear least squares solution decreases when the range of starting parameter values is expanded, and the scatter of solutions corresponding to local minima of the target function increases. Ambiguity of solutions occurs in most cases with overestimations of the average size of cylindrical particles and their polydispersity compared to the exact solution. To avoid the minimization target function falling into local minima, a good starting approximation is required, within 50% of the relative detuning of the model parameters from their exact values.
