Abstract
Dilute polydisperse system is a common research object in small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). In SAXS studies, the extrapolation of the scattering data in the low scattering vector region is necessary for many quantitative structural analyses. The classical Guinier extrapolation method is based on the Guinier approximation, which is only applicable to the scattering data with a distinct linear segment on the Guinier plot. In this contribution, a new map-polynomial fitting extrapolation method is proposed. It takes the bilateral data constructed by mapping the measured data as the fitting object, and provides reliable extrapolation results within an explicit fitting range and a specific polynomial order. The new method is superior to the Guinier method in terms of extrapolation effect and applicability range. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by experimental sample.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
