Different Radiations
• Light (refractive index or density differences)– laboratory scale, convenient– limited length scales, control of scattering events (contrast)– dynamic measurements (diffusion)
• X-rays (small angle) (electron density differences)– laboratory or national facilities– opaque materials– limited contrast control
• Neutrons (small angle) (atomic properties)– national facilities– great contrast control

– nuclear reactor• US: NIST

Constructive interference
Destructive interference
Example of Interference
Constructive and destructive interference can lead to more (or less) intensity
![Page 12: Small Angle Neutron Scattering - - The](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081622/613d5163736caf36b75be6f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Another Example of Interference
Constructive and destructive interference from path length differences
Light waves only interfere if they are polarized in the same direction.

So What is Special About Neutrons?
• Neutrons have spin ½• Neutrons are scattered from atomic nuclei,
and the scattering event depends on the nuclear spin.
• There are coherent and incoherent scattering lengths tabulated for elements and isotopes– coherent – information about structure– incoherent – arises from fluctuations in scattering
lengths due to nonzero spins of isotopes and has no structural information
![Page 24: Small Angle Neutron Scattering - - The](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081622/613d5163736caf36b75be6f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Neutron cross-sections• Hydrogen is special. Spin =1/2, with different spin up
and spin down scattering, gives rise to a very large incoherent scattering (this is bad for structure measurements, but good for dynamics)
• Deuterium is spin 1, with much lower incoherent scattering

For a molecule, thescattering length density
SLD=Σbi/molecular volume
H/D substitution changes the scattering power and givescontrol of n(r): this is called contrast variation.

DILUTE LIMIT: Scattering from ParticlesIntraparticle Interference
Scattering from larger particles can constructively/destructively interfere, depending on size (relative to the size of the object) and shape of the particles.
Size (how big is big?)• Scattering vector, q, which gives the length probed• Introduce dimensionless quantity, ‘qR’, that indicates how big the particles are relative to the wavelength.
Shape• Introduce the Form Factor, P(q), the define the role of particle shape in the scattering profiles• P(q) for Spheres, leading to Guinier Plots• P(q) for vesicles, which are different than spheres• P(q) for Gaussian Coils/Polymers, leading to Zimm Plots

Form Factors for Spheres
![Page 35: Small Angle Neutron Scattering - - The](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081622/613d5163736caf36b75be6f5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Perry, R.L., and Speck, E.P. "Geometric Factors for Thermal Radiation Exchange Between Cows and Their Surroundings", American Society of Agricultural Engineers Paper #59-323.
For evaluating thermal radiant exchange between a cow and her surroundings, the cow can be represented by an equivalent sphere. The height of the equivalent sphere above the floor is 2/3 of the height at the withers. The origin of the sphere is about 1/4 of the withers-to-pin-bone length back of the withers. The sphere size differs for floor and ceiling, side walls, and front and back walls. For the model surveyed, the radius of the equivalent sphere is 2.13 feet for exchange with floor and ceiling, 2.38 feet for side walls, and 2.02 feet for the front and back walls. These values are 1.8, 2.08, and 1.78 times the heart girth. An equation in spherical coordinates is given for the variation of the size of the equivalent sphere with the angle of view measured from the vertical and transverse axes.
Form Factor for a Cow
The shape factor for exchange with an adjacent cow in a stanchion spacing of 3'8" was found to be 0.1.

• Guinier Approximations work well provide ‘qa’ is small (black- full expression of P(q); blue- Guinier Approximation)
• As particles get larger, the angles must be far smaller• Limit ~ 100 nm for LS measurements, using smaller angles

Scattering from Particulate Systems
So how do we get S(q)?
Various thermodynamic models relate g(r) (and thus S(q))to the interparticle potential
There are two questions:1. What is the nature of the potential?
Hard sphere?Electrostatic?Depletion?Steric?
2. What thermodynamic formalism do you use tocalculate g(r)?
