  • X-ray diffraction measurements were performed on Anodisc membrane filters.
  • Analysis involved modeling pore diameter and spacing distributions.
  • The data was modeled using structure factors and incoherent source analysis.

Main Results:

  • Observed X-ray diffraction patterns indicate constant pore diameter and Gaussian pore-pore spacing.
  • Measured mean pore-pore distance was 0.37 micrometers, closely matching the calculated 0.32 micrometers.
  • Incoherent source analysis explained the Lorentzian sum fitting of spectrometer resolution functions.

Conclusions:

  • X-ray diffraction provides detailed insights into the nanostructure of Anodisc filters.
  • The findings validate the pore structure models and offer a new perspective on spectrometer performance.
