Abstract
This chapter deals with small-angle light scattering (SALS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. The importance of X-ray scattering over the X-ray diffraction techniques is discussed. It is well known that the diffraction of light from an object is due to the wave nature of light, whereas scattering is considered a phenomenon of the dual (both particle and wave) nature of light. Scattering is a wave interaction but diffraction is a wave propagation phenomenon. Developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology necessitate various techniques to characterize various nanomaterials. This chapter reviews the progress in characterizing nanomaterials with SALS and SAXS along with the fundamental working principles.
