The University of New Mexico/Sandia National Laboratories small-angle scattering laboratory

The University of New Mexico/Sandia National Laboratories small-angle scattering laboratory provides a wide q-range, 3×10−4 Å−1<q<0.7 Å−1, for the structural analysis of materials on length scales from a few angstrom to ∼0.1 μm. The wide q-range is accomplished by combining data from a Bonse-Hart spectrometer (3×10−4 Å−1<q<3×10−2 Å−1) and a 5 m pinhole (3×10−3 Å−1<q<0.7 Å−1) instrument. Automation of the data acquisition systems along with a variety of sample environments and sample changers yields flexible, high throughput instruments.
