Abstract
Small-angle scattering is a rather mature discipline which can yield valuable information on the size, amount and distribution of inhomogeneities encountered in materials science research. Methods have been published which permit one to extend the standard analysis of data from a small-angle scattering experiment to include determination of the distribution of particle sizes. This extended analysis has been carried out for voids in a β'-phase Ni-Al-In alloy, and, in order to assess the reliability of the procedure, the identical void distribution has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy. A quantitative comparison is made of the results from these two independent experiments, and the general performance of the Brill-Schmidt method for particle size determinations is discussed.
