Small-angle neutron scattering study of the mixed state ofYb3Rh4Sn13

Small angle neutron scattering

Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a technique that enables to probe the 3-D structure of materials on a typical size range lying from ∼ 1 nm up to ∼ a few 100 nm, the obtained information being statistically averaged on a sample whose volume is ∼ 1 cm3. This very rich technique enables to make a full structural characterization of a given object of nanometric dimensions (radius of gyrati...

Neutron small angle scattering of hemoglobin.

Neutron small angle scattering experiments were performed on human hemoglobin in various mixtures of Hz0 and DzO. It was possible to observe the inter-particle effect without corrections for resolution and to verify the first minimum and the secondary maximum in accordance with the theoretical scattering curve. The accuracy in determining the radius of gyration has been improved over that deter...

Structural behaviour of mixed cationic surfactant micelles: a small-angle neutron scattering study.

Self-assembly in mixtures of two single-chain cationic surfactants, with different tail lengths (CTAB and DTAB) as well as of a single-chain (DTAB) and a double-chain (DDAB) cationic surfactant, with identical tail lengths, have been investigated with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rationalised in terms of bending elasticity properties. The growth behaviour of micelles with respect t...

Use of small-angle neutron scattering to study tubulin polymers.

Small-angle neutron scattering has been used to examine taxol-stabilized microtubules and other tubulin samples in both H(2)O and D(2)O buffers. Measurements were made at pH/pD values between 6.0 and 7.8, and observed scattered intensities, I(Q), have been interpreted in terms of multicomponent models of microtubules and related tubulin polymers. A semiquantitative curve fitting procedure has b...
