Abstract
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a versatile and convenient method to investigate the higher order structure of molecular assembly systems. However, the more complicated a system of interest, the more difficult the interpretation in the SANS profile. In order to increase the reliability of structural analysis on a complicated system, it is desirable to obtain different kinds of structural information from the same sample simultaneously. Polarized infrared spectroscopy is able to provide information about the molecular structure, concentration, and orientation of each chemical species in a system. In order to utilize these advantages of polarized infrared spectroscopy, a simultaneous measurement system was built by incorporating a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer into a time-of-flight small angle neutron scattering instrument covering a wide Q range. Using this system, simultaneous measurements of wide- and small-angle neutron scattering and polarized FTIR spectroscopy was realized for the first time.
