Probing at the nanoscale using Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) technique

Probing at the nanoscale using Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) technique 

Format:  in-person (limit 20 participants) 

Instructor(s):  Dr. Pio Buenconsejo 

Duration: 2 hours 

Course Description:  Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to study the structure of a material at length scales in the nanometer range to investigate size, shape, order, orientation and distribution. Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) on the other hand captures the interatomic distances at the sub-nanometer range shedding light on the atomic ordering and/or crystallinity of the material. The course will introduce new users on the basic principles of SAXS/WAXS, transmission and grazing incident experiment, data analysis and some examples related to materials science research.
