The structure of micellar solutions is determined from X-ray small-angle scattering measurements on an absolute scale. The most probable structure is chosen by comparison with spherical cylindrical and lamellar models. This method is applied to two-component micelles and it is possible to follow the variation of micellar dimensions when the concentration of each component is varying.

By X-Ray small angle scattering the relaxation and crystallization of amorphous Mg76Zn24 was investigated in-situ. Radii of gyration of the different phases developing during the annealing of the sample were determined. By comparison of the small angle scattering results with DSC-results from the literature and the phase diagram the different phases could be identified. The crystallization of amorphous Mg76Zn24 is preceded by the formation of β-phase (Mg72Zn28)-like inhomogeneities in the amorphous phase. Further annealing leads to the final crystalline phases γ-MgZn and Mg.

AbstractNeutron small-angle scattering measurements of several different chlorophylls hydrated in deuterated octane-toluene mixtures show that long, hollow cylinders of aggregated chlorophyll are formed. Clear secondary maxima are present in the scattering, and the cylinder diameters are well determined, but depend on the type of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll-a and Bacteriochlorophyll-a were particularly studied, and several samples of each have been measured. Other chlorophylls have also been studied. The results provide strong evidence that chlorophyll cylinders are only certain sizes, with diameters very nearly in the ratio of small integers. Thus, the cylinder diameters appear to be quantized. Neutron scattering results that further test this quantization property are presented here, together with a proposal for the stereochemical features of chlorophyll aggregation which account for the diameter quantization.

Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering have become increasingly popular owing to improvements in instrumentation and developments in data analysis, sample handling and sample preparation. For some time, it has been suggested that a more systematic approach to the quantification of the information content in small-angle scattering data would allow for a more optimal experiment planning and a more reliable data analysis. In the present article, it is shown how ray-tracing techniques in combination with a statistically rigorous data analysis provide an appropriate platform for such a systematic quantification of the information content in scattering data. As examples of applications, it is shown how the exposure time at different instrumental settings or contrast situations can be optimally prioritized in an experiment. Also, the gain in information by combining small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering is assessed. While solution small-angle scattering data of proteins and protein–lipid complexes are used as examples in the present case study, the approach is generalizable to a wide range of other samples and experimental techniques. The source code for the algorithms and ray-tracing components developed for this study has been made available on-line.

Small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering experiments were performed in several polymer-containing portland cement pastes with the same w/c ratio. The nature of the results is discussed in terms of the role of the polymer upon the properties of the materials. A comparison with other works seems to indicate that the capillary pores are strongly affected whereas the gel porosity remains unchanged by the polymer solutions.
