Small Angle X-ray Scattering (Academic, 1982). Small-angle scattering in materials science - a short review of applications in alloys, ceramics and composite materials. Structure Analysis by Small-Angle X-ray and Neutron Scattering (Plenum, 1987).įratzl, P. A new method for the evaluation of small-angle scattering data. Recent applications of SAS in structural biology and the soft-matter and hard-matter sciences are also discussed. In this Primer, we provide an overview of SAS, summarizing the types of instrument used, approaches for data collection and calibration, available data analysis methods, structural information that can be obtained using the method, and data depositories, standards and formats. Samples for SAS studies may be prepared in situ or under near-native conditions and the measurements performed at various temperatures, pressures, flows, shears or stresses, and in a time-resolved fashion. The analysis of SAS data from coherent scattering events provides information about the length scale distributions of material components. X-ray and neutron scattering profiles measured from bulk materials or materials deposited at surfaces arise from nanostructural inhomogeneities of electron or nuclear density. Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a technique that is able to probe the structural organization of matter and quantify its response to changes in external conditions.
