Description
The identification and correlation of structural, chemical and functional features is crucial to understand complex systems in life and material science. Beside the nanostructure information that could be obtained by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the anomalous technique (ASAXS) is one tool to label structure components to specific elements. In this sense, ASAXS can be understood as a nanostructure and nanochemical analysis technique. Another tool is the combination of SAXS with spectroscopic methods like UV-Vis, Raman or/and fluorescence to correlate structural, chemical and functional features. In the talk the different approaches will be demonstrated by studies of a frequency up-conversion glass ceramic, a bimetallic catalyst and a single wall carbon nanotube dispersion.
