Publication 5.5 - Absolute Scattering(2016-08-10) Heiney, Paul A.When the incident and scattered X-ray intensities, and the volume of sample accessed, are well understood the scattered intensity can be used to obtain quantitative information such as the internal surface area of a porous system. Time 11:23.Publication 5.4 - Porod, Guinier, and Kratke Plots(2016-08-05) Heiney, Paul A.Different ways of representing SAXS data. Porod plots pull out high-Q features on a linear scale.
