Summary
Texture effects in X-ray scattering of powder samples are described theoretically and experimentally. This model aids in detecting circulite-type mesopore organization in nanostructured silica fibers.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Nanotechnology
- Crystallography
Background:
- Powder X-ray scattering is susceptible to pronounced texture effects.
- Understanding these effects is crucial for accurate data interpretation.
- Nanostructured materials often exhibit complex textural properties.
Purpose of the Study:
