Abstract
Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a powerful technique that is used to resolve the size and structure of phases on the nanometer scale, within a sample. While these features may also be observed with other techniques, such as: electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, SAXS provides a means to resolve statistically significant nanometer features in-situ, because of its ability to probe over a relatively large sample volume (~ 1mm x 1mm x 1 mm). This makes SAXS well suited to study the structures of ionic liquids (IL). However, a typical SAXS experiment and subsequent analysis require careful considerations of the sample and limits of the analytical approach used. In this chapter, we will present a brief introduction to SAXS with special emphasis on the experimental setup and analysis. At the end of this chapter, X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy will be presented as a potentially powerful technique to resolve the dynamics of scattering phases in IL solutions.Citation
