Description:Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is a powerful technique for
  probing nanoscale structure and morphology in materials with long-range o
 rder on the nanometer scale (1–100 nm) but which may not be crystalline\
 , including polymers\, proteins\, biomaterials. Conventional X-ray diffrac
 tion (XRD) can struggle with these materials due to their amorphous nature
  or large feature sizes. This seminar will provide a brief overview of SAX
 S theory\, followed by a practical discussion of the SAXS capabilities ava
 ilable on ARC’s new XRDynamic 500. Anton Paar’s applications scientist
  Dr. Semih Gulac will outline the types of samples and experiments that ca
 n be performed\, the structural information that can be obtained\, and the
  practical limitations of the system. While the XRDynamic 500 is not a ded
 icated high-resolution SAXS instrument\, it offers valuable screening capa
 bilities for assessing nanoscale features (&lt\;100 nm) and guiding decisi
 ons about more advanced measurements (e.g.\, high-resolution or specialize
 d in situ studies). Preliminary test data collected on selected research s
 amples will be presented to illustrate expected data quality.\n\nRegister
