Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues

ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....

Neutron and Synchrotron X-Ray Scattering Studies of Superconductors

Superconductors hold the promise for a more stable and efficient electrical grid, but new isotropic, high-temperature superconductors are needed in order to reduce cable manufacturing costs. The effort to understand high-temperature superconductivity, especially in the layered cuprates, provides guidance to the search for new superconductors. Neutron scattering has long provided an important pr...

High resolution X-ray scattering studies of substrates and multilayers

2014 High resolution X-ray scattering measurements on multilayer substrates and surfaces are reviewed. It is shown that the usual substrates of float glass and Si-wafers are dominated by large scale figure error, whereas samples of super polished SiC substrates are comparable in flatness and roughness to state-ofthe-art test flats from current X-ray telescope programs. Likewise high resolution ...

Structure of interfacial liquids: X-ray scattering studies.

We have used synchrotron x rays to study three different liquids near solid-liquid interfaces. For either ultrathin (45-90 A) or thick ( approximately 5000 A) liquid films on silicon substrates, we find (on the basis of diffraction peaks or specular reflectivity data) that the molecules form 3-6 layers at the interface, with plane spacings close to the molecular dimensions. Rough surfaces and/o...
