In-situ Small Angle X-ray Scattering for nanoparticle characterization
- Application highlight - Nanoparticles are characterized by the fact that they have at least one dimension in the nanometer range, i.e. between 1 and 100 nanometers. This means that ...
GISAXS reveals packing of PbS quantum dots for use in solar cells
Quantum dots are semiconducting nanocrystals of about two to ten nanometers in size. Due to their tunable optoelectronic properties, they find use in a range of applications such as LEDs, single-electron transistors, medical imaging and solar cells. When used in solar cells, light produces an electron-hole pair in the quantum…
Number concentrations for Gold Nanoparticles: robust and traceable measurements in the lab
SAXS laboratory instruments provide traceable number concentration measurements for nanoparticles. Nanoparticles (NPs) are an essential building block for ...

SAXS/WAXS results help elucidate structure-function relationships in foams
Foams – gas trapped in solids or liquids – are common materials, found all around us. Liquid foams can be found in cosmetic formulations, home care products and food, whereas solid foams find use in mattresses, insulation and lightweight structures in automotive, space and aircraft applications. Solid foams are cellular…
