3 Small-angle x-ray scattering Anomalous SAXS Nanoscale refractory analogue - Gelation & Calcination - Sintering

4 A small-angle x-ray scattering camera flight tube e.g.: HMI SAXS beamline at Bessy, Berlin sample position detector x-rays from storage ring

5 Small-angle scattering vs. diffraction k k' q=k'-k q = (4 sin x-rays scatter from electrons neutrons scatter from nuclei and magnetic moments diffraction small-angle scattering - scattering from atomic structures - size of objects ~ - small length scale -> large angle - scattering from interfaces - size of objects >> - large length scale -> small angle

6 SAXS and particle size

7 SAXS and particle size

8 What can we learn from a SAXS pattern? Porod slope at larger q q -n where n represents the surface morphology n=4: smooth 3<n<4: surface fractal 1<n<3: mass fractal Guinier regime Guinier radius is proportional to the particle size (radius of gyration of the particles)

9 Small-angle x-ray scattering Anomalous SAXS Nanoscale refractory analogue - Gelation & Calcination - Sintering

10 Anomalous SAXS Resonant scattering and absorption Side effects not entirely unwanted! experiment at 18keV -> compressed q scale difference patterns reveal which features are due to edge element even if partial scattering functions cannot be computed atomic scattering factor: f(q,e) = f 0 (q) + f '(q,e) + jf (q,e) scattered intensity ~ f 2 = f f 0 f ' + (f ' 2 +f 2 ) normal SAXS correlations btw. edge element & others correlations between labelled phases only

11 Chemical contrast ASAXS: 3 energies below the edge => determine partial structure factors but: chemical edge shift photon energy calibrated to Zr foil at keV 8eV chemical shift of edge in unreacted sample edge shifts by several ev as reaction progresses

12 Chemical contrast Energy-dependent SAXS: compare above/below edge => maximum contrast with little uncertainty w.r.t. chemical shifts but: fluorescence photon energy calibrated to Zr foil at keV 8eV chemical shift of edge in unreacted sample edge shifts by several ev as reaction progresses

13 Finding the resonance 1. Absorption measurement gives f": f"(e) ~ E µ(e) 2. Extend the measured range according to tabulated data 3. Kramers-Kronig transform gives f':
