DIANNA (Diffraction Analysis of Nanopowders) is a free software developed to simulate atomic models of structures from an ensemble of nanoparticles and to calculate their whole X-ray powder diffraction patterns and the radial distribution function. The main objects of investigation are the particles whose coherent scattering domains do not exceed several nm. DIANNA is based on the ab initio method using the Debye scattering equation. This method makes it possible to obtain information on the atomic structure, shape and size of nanoparticles. ...

Keywords (XNDiff): -SAXS -SANS -absolute units -core (double)shell crystalline nanoparticles -with a parallelepidal shape -particle assemblies -powder and ensemble average -C/C++ -Unix -OpenMP -HPC Cluster Keywords (BatchMultiFit): -simultaneous fits for several SAXS and SANS curves with simulation data from XNDiff -SANS data can be smeared with dq values from experimental data sets or analytical functions -Mathematica console -local and global optimizers (simulated annealing, differential evolution, Nelder-Mead, ...) can be used -range for fit parameters and further constraints between fit parameters -parallelized (typ. 4-8 threads) TODO (BatchMultiFit): -read and use errorbars from experimental data sets -allow different q-ranges for different data sets in the fits -rewrite and test in Python using e.g. the lmfit module: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lmfit/ to get rid of Mathematica and to run it on HPC clusters

...The intended purpose of the simulator is to act as a tool for the study and development of nanotech entities. The project will also focus on the simulation of complex biological applications such as Targeted Drug Delivery by simulating nanowires, magnetic nanoparticles and others. Updates will follow from January 2017.
