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

Abstract
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.
