Functions for analyzing molecular simulations according to scattering experiments. Currently, functions are available to compute:

• Static structure factor
• Van Hove Correlation Function

Currently, the majority of form factors are esimated from the atomic number. Specific form factors can additionally be used for water, taken from DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1603079.
