An apparatus for measuring X-Ray small- and wide angle scattering of solid materials and especially of molten metals with temperatures up to 1100 °C is described. Alloys of the eutectic system Al -Sn with tin-contents up to 30 At.-% are investigated. The influence of surface oxide layers on the scattered intensity is discussed. Correlation functions as well as the Guinier approximation yielded inhomogeneities with mean diameters up to 10 Å in the investigated melts. Therefore the dimensions of these so-called short range segregation zones correspond to those of the first coordination sphere

Acquisition of microstructural information during realistic service conditions is an ongoing need for fundamental materials insight and computational input. In addition, for engineering applications it is often important to be able to study materials over a wide range of penetration depths, from the surface to bulk. In this presentation we discuss developments at the Sector 1-ID beamline of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) to utilize high-energy x-ray scattering for such studies. The use of high-energies (~80 keV) provides a highly penetrating probe, with sampling depths up to several mm in most materials. Through the development and use of high-energy optics, we can perform both small- and wide-angle scattering (SAXS/WAXS), to probe a large range of sample dimensions in reciprocal space (ranging from Angstroms to hundreds of nanometers), with real space resolutions ranging from microns to mm.

The double-focusing high-flux wiggler beamline dedicated to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) at ELETTRA has gone into user operation recently. It has been designed specifically for time-resolved studies of non-crystalline and fibrous materials in the submillisecond time scale, and has been optimized for small-angle scattering measurements. An overview of the beamline status and of some representative results, highlighting the performance of the SAXS beamline, are given.

X-ray scattering of biological macromolecules in solution is an increasingly popular tool for structural biology and benefits greatly from modern high-brightness synchrotron sources. The upgraded MacCHESS BioSAXS station is now located at the 49-pole wiggler beamline G1. The 20-fold improved flux over the previous beamline F2 provides higher sample throughput and autonomous X-ray scattering data collection using a unique SAXS/WAXS dual detectors configuration. This setup achieves a combinedq-range from 0.007 to 0.7 Å−1, enabling better characterization of smaller molecules, while opening opportunities for emerging wide-angle scattering methods. In addition, a facility upgrade of the positron storage ring to continuous top-up mode has improved beam stability and eliminated beam drift over the course of typical BioSAXS experiments. Single exposure times have been reduced to 2 s for 3.560 mg ml−1lysozyme with an average quality factorI/σ of 20 in the Guinier region. A novel disposable plastic sample cell design that incorporates lower background X-ray window material provides users with a more pristine sample environment than previously available. Systematic comparisons of common X-ray window materials bonded to the cell have also been extended to the wide-angle regime, offering new insight into best choices for variousq-space ranges. In addition, a quantitative assessment of signal-to-noise levels has been performed on the station to allow users to estimate necessary exposure times for obtaining usable signals in the Guinier regime. Users also have access to a new BioSAXS sample preparation laboratory which houses essential wet-chemistry equipment and biophysical instrumentation. User experiments at the upgraded BioSAXS station have been on-going since commissioning of the beamline in Summer 2013. A planned upgrade of the G1 insertion device to an undulator for the Winter 2014 cycle is expected to further improve flux by an order of magnitude.
