Abstract

A two-dimensional ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) apparatus was constructed using a rotating-anode X-ray generator and a Bonse–Hart camera. In this camera, two sets of two channel-cut single crystals were used to collimate the X-ray beam in both the horizontal and the vertical planes. The measured intensity profile of the direct beam showed a high small-angle resolution in all directions on the detector plane. The full width at half-maximum was 17′′, indicating that the apparatus can be applied to structural analysis in the range up to 2 μm, even for directionally oriented samples. One- and two-dimensional USAXS profiles from colloidal silica powder agreed well with each other, showing that the desmearing procedure adopted in the previous one-dimensional USAXS experiments were justified.
