MRI Consortium: Acquisition of X-Ray Scattering Instrumentation - SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS

杜克大学的小角X射线散射（SAXS）设施将是北卡罗来纳州研究三角区的第一台X射线散射仪器。杜克大学共享材料仪器设备（SMIF）的SAXS设备将为该地区的三所主要大学提供服务：杜克大学、北卡罗来纳州州立大学和查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学。它也将提供给两个历史上的黑人大学，北卡罗来纳州A T州立大学和北卡罗来纳州中央大学，目前利用仪器在SMIF。该仪器将为材料科学、结构生物学、聚合物和胶体化学、化学和生物医学工程以及纺织工程的研究人员提供服务。仪器的能力将是广泛的，以满足用户的不同需求，并包括广角X射线散射（WAXS）和掠入射小角X射线散射（GISAXS）。

The small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) facility at Duke University will be the first X-ray scattering instrument in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. It will therefore serve a multidisciplinary community of researchers and provide the opportunity, for the first time, to train students in advanced scattering techniques.The SAXS facility at Duke University's Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) will serve three major universities in the area: Duke University, North Carolina State University, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It will also be available to two historically black universities, North Carolina A&T State University, and North Carolina Central University, that currently utilize instrumentation at SMIF. The instrument will serve researchers in materials science, structural biology, polymer and colloidal chemistry, chemical and biomedical engineering, and textiles engineering. The instrument capabilities will be broad to address the different needs of the users, and include wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS).
