In situ capabilities of Small Angle X-ray Scattering

Journal Article · · Nanotechnology Reviews
Abstract

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ideal characterization tool to explore nanoscale systems. In order to investigate nanostructural changes of materials under realistic sample environments, it is essential to equip SAXS with diversein situcapabilities based on the corresponding requirements. In this paper, we highlight the representative experimental setups and corresponding applications of five widely usedin situcapabilities: temperature, pressure, stretching, flow-through, and electric field. Additionally, we also briefly introduce other fourin situtechniques including humidity, high-throughput, rheology, and magnetic field.
