When defining samples in the Momentum Transfer App, there are two categories of information to be entered. The first is for registering samples for measurement and is accessed when a sample is created, or by selecting an existing sample and clicking “Edit” to update sample identification, composition, and safety information. The second category of i

Total Scattering Pair Distribution Function (TS-PDF) Analysis Total scattering goes beyond typical assessment of diffraction peaks to consider the diffuse intensities scattered underneath and in between. These carry further information about defects, disorder, dynamics, and morphology that underpin functional properties. The pair distribution functi

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) Small-angle X-ray scattering probes the material over very low spatial frequencies. This allows observations of in­ho­mo­ge­neity or periodicity in the density, which can be particularly useful for identifying microphase segregation or mesoporosity. It also can give information about domain morphology and size, fo
