Notes:
It is proved that the second-order derivative of the correlation function, relevant to an amorphous N-component sample, can have a first-order discontinuity at a point r0 (≠ 0) only when the interfaces have the following geometrical property: there exists a finite-area subset of one phase boundary, say Si, such that any point P1 of this is far away, r0, from a point P2, belonging to another boundary, say Sj, and moreover the segment P1P2 is orthogonal both to Si and to Sj. The explicit integral expression of the discontinuity is obtained. The relevance of this result to the analysis of scattered intensities showing a systematic deviation from the Porod-Debye law is pointed out.
