Silver behenate as a calibration standard of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering

B. Lee, C.-T. Lo, S. Seifert and R. E. Winans

Abstract: Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) patterns of a silver behenate composite film, which has a typical layered structure, are described. The peak position of the film in the GISAXS pattern was varied depending on the incident angle, which was well described by taking into account the refraction and the reflection effects. Since the refractive index of samples depends on sample preparation, it is recommended that the measurement of silver behenate as a standard be done in conventional transmission mode to avoid any complexity.

Keywords: silver behenate; lamellae; films.
