Microstructural parameters of high-purity alumina powder are determined quantitatively throughout the bulk of the material using small-angle neutron scattering techniques. A unified theoretical and experimental approach for analyzing multiple scattering data is developed to obtain values for particle size, volume fraction and surface area. It is shown how particle size and volume fraction can be measured in a practical way from SANS data totally dominated by incoherent multiple scattering (`beam broadening'). The general phase-shift dependence of single-particle scattering is incorporated into the multiple scattering formalism, and it is also shown that the diffractive limit (small phase shift) applies even for phase shifts as large as unity (particle radii of order 1 μm). The stability of the Porod law against multiple scattering and the phase-shift scale are described, a useful empirical formula for analysis of beam broadening data is exhibited, and the applicability of the formulations to polydispersed systems is discussed.

Real-space magnetic small-angle neutron scattering data from nanocrystalline cobalt and nickel have been analysed in terms of a recently developed micromagnetic theory for the autocorrelation function of the spin misalignment [Michels (2010).Phys. Rev. B,82, 024433]. The approach provides information on the exchange-stiffness constant and on the mean magnetic `anisotropy-field' radius.

ABSTRACTWe present small angle neutron scattering data of porous glasses. Analysis of the structure factor shows that the morphology on length scales between 30 A and 800 A depends on fabrication procedures. Fast gelation leads to a clumpy glass, whereas slow gelation produces a random smooth internal interface.

Several aspects of the application of the maximum-entropy method (MEM) to the determination of particle size distributions by small-angle scattering (SAS) are discussed. The `historic' version of the MEM produces completely satisfying results. Limiting the data error from below (i.e.imposing a minimal relative error) is proposed as a solution of some convergence problems. The MEM is tested against the Fourier transform technique. The size distribution of Pb particles in an Al–Pb alloy is determined by the MEM and the Fourier transform technique. The size distributions obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and SAXS show partial agreement.
