Technique to characterize the nanoscale microstructure of a wide range of materials such as nanoparticles, ferrofluids, polymers, and liquid crystals. Experiments can be carried out under different sample environments, such as temperature, magnetic field, or shear stress.
SAXS provides information on the particle size and shape, on the particle-size distribution, and on the interactions between the particles.
Used by several groups in the Physics and Materials Science Department and available to external partners.
