Analytical Interpretation
Model ρ(r) → calculate I(q) → fit to observed I(q)
Or
Model ρ(r) → calculate Γ(r) → fit to F.T. of observed I(q)
(models cast in parameters of size, shape, dispersity, thermo mixing
energy, etc.)

Common SAXS Models
DILTUE PARTICULATE SYSTEM
•Mono or poly dispersed
•No interparticle scattering effects
SAXS Interpretation yields
•Size/dispersity for known shapes
•Rg for unknown shapes
•Can incorporate dense packing effects into model
22. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
Common SAXS Models
Non Particulate 2 Phase System
•2 intermixed phases without host or matrix
SAXS Interpretation yields
•Phase volume fraction, domain size,
•information on interphase boundary
(sharp or diffuse)
23. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
Common SAXS Models
Periodic Systems
•Lamellar stacks, ordered copolymers, biologic
Periodic and ordered structures
WAXS methods apply but with emphasis on
deviations from ordered structures
26. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
Common SAXS Models
Soluble Blend System
•Single disordered phase dissolved molecularly with
density inhomogeneity
(miscible polymers, block copolymers, polymer solns)
SAXS Interpretation yields
•Solution properties
(could be treated as dilute system but blend model formulated
for more direct treatment of thermodynamic properties
rather than size and shape)

TWO IMPORTANT GENERAL MODEL RESULTS
(some interpretation without models)
•GUINIER LAW
•POROD LAW
28. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
GUINIER LAW
•Even for unknown, irregular or ‘non-describable shapes; scattering has
predictable form at low q
29. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
GUINIER LAW
Valid for
•q << 1/Rg
•Dilute system
•Isotropic (random particle orientation)
•Solvent scattering subtracted
30. Materials Characterization Lab
www.mri.psu.edu/mcl
POROD LAW
•Predictable relationship between I(q) and total interface area
in 2 phase systems at high q
•Can obtain total interface area for absolute intensities or specific
surface area (S/V) for relative measure of
scattered intensity
•Deviations from Porod Law indicate and give information on
diffuse interphase boundaries

Pt particle size in carbon-supported Pt electrocatalysts
for fuel cell applications
•This study used moderately small angle so that size
agreed with WAXS/Scherrer but SAXS best at smaller size
•Generally, WAXS/Scherrer not effective in large sizes (no line
broadening, xtal domain vs. grain domain, no distribution info)
•TEM/SEM: specific areas vs. average important to catalyst
properties
Stevens, et al, CARBON 41 (2003)
