Spheres, rods, discs, which can fit what?
A remark in a recent paper by Dr. Yojiro Oba (currently at KURRI) caught my attention. It discusses which shape assumption can be appropriate to […]
Contrast-variation SAXS
Contrast variation is commonly used in SANS to highlight a single segment of a mutli-part structure. In SANS it is easy to do this because […]
Twists and turns
We couldn’t help but look at some more Mg-Zn alloys since our last paper. In particular, we have been looking at what happens to the […]
Tele-SAXS Beamtime with on-the-fly data corrections.
This has been a very interesting last couple of days. I was unable to join Zoë Schnepp and Martin Hollamby for our SAXS beamtime at […]
Preparing for Beamtime
One more burst of beamtime is coming up at the end of this week. This one will be with Zoë, Martin and Ashleigh once more, […]
Video: “Applied Metrology of Small-angle Scattering”
Another video, and this one was a bit sizeable. The video is the majority of the introduction of my talk series for this year. The […]
Guinier in polydisperse systems revisited
Last week, I was contacted by Christian Gollwitzer (author of this excellent paper) about something posted here (and in particular detailed in this document) a […]
Applications of SAXS: Self-assembled Structures
[Ed: It looks like there is more interest than I thought in the field of SAXS; the “Everything SAXS” review paper has been downloaded over […]
Update tomorrow
Dear readers, unfortunately, my video recording for this week needs a bit more editing than I had spare time for today. It’ll be done tomorrow. […]
Applications of SAXS: Fibres
I started working with small-angle scattering when investigating fibres during a (fun) company internship at Teijin Aramid. The most recent developments of our work in […]
