Small Angle X-ray Scattering

    The BL17B3 SAXS endstation is constructed for studying the static and dynamic nanostructures of matter including polymers, liquid crystals, macromolecular solutions, nanocomposite, alloy, nanoparticles, and protein solutions. The SAXS endstation is featured in simultaneously time-resolved SAXS/WAXS/DSC measurements, with a time resolution of ~10 sec. for a semi-crystalline system of poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (PHT). Anomalous scattering is also available for nanoparticles and their composites, containing Pt, Au, and other elements which have characteristics of X-ray absorption in the energy region between 7-14 KeV. Grazing incidence SAXS for thin films of polymer or lipid membranes on solid substrates can be conducted.
