SAXS-WAXS Analyzer

Purpose

The SAXS-WAXS Analyzer skill provides structural characterization of nanomaterials through small and wide angle X-ray scattering, enabling determination of size, shape, and spatial organization at the nanoscale.

Capabilities

  • SAXS data reduction and analysis
  • Form factor fitting
  • Guinier and Kratky analysis
  • Pair distance distribution function
  • WAXS crystallinity assessment
  • Self-assembly structure determination

Usage Guidelines

SAXS Analysis

  1. Data Reduction

    • Subtract background
    • Apply transmission correction
    • Merge multiple detector regions
  2. Form Factor Analysis

    • Fit to sphere, cylinder, or other models
    • Extract size distribution
    • Determine shape parameters
  3. Structural Analysis

    • Calculate P(r) function
    • Determine Rg from Guinier
    • Assess folding from Kratky

Process Integration

  • Statistical Particle Size Distribution Analysis
  • Directed Self-Assembly Process Development
  • Structure-Property Correlation Analysis
