Quantitative characterization of the contrast mechanisms of ultra‐small‐angle X‐ray scattering imaging

Quantitative characterization of the contrast mechanisms of ultra‐small‐angle X‐ray scattering... A general treatment of X‐ray imaging contrast for ultra‐small‐angle X‐ray scattering (USAXS) imaging is presented; this approach makes use of phase propagation and dynamical diffraction theory to account quantitatively for the intensity distribution at the detector plane. Simulated results from a model system of micrometre‐sized spherical SiO2 particles embedded in a polypropylene matrix show good agreement with experimental measurements. Simulations by means of a separate geometrical ray‐tracing method also account for the features in the USAXS images and offer a complementary view of small‐angle X‐ray scattering as a contrast mechanism. The ray‐tracing analysis indicates that refraction, in the form of Porod scattering, and, to a much lesser extent, X‐ray reflection account for the USAXS imaging contrast. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Crystallography Wiley

Abstract

A general treatment of X‐ray imaging contrast for ultra‐small‐angle X‐ray scattering (USAXS) imaging is presented; this approach makes use of phase propagation and dynamical diffraction theory to account quantitatively for the intensity distribution at the detector plane. Simulated results from a model system of micrometre‐sized spherical SiO2 particles embedded in a polypropylene matrix show good agreement with experimental measurements. Simulations by means of a separate geometrical ray‐tracing method also account for the features in the USAXS images and offer a complementary view of small‐angle X‐ray scattering as a contrast mechanism. The ray‐tracing analysis indicates that refraction, in the form of Porod scattering, and, to a much lesser extent, X‐ray reflection account for the USAXS imaging contrast.
