- Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a laboratory technique, similar to the often complementary techniques of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and light scattering. These are particularly useful because of the dramatic increase in forward scattering that occurs at phase transitions, known as critical opalescence, and because many materials, substances and biological systems possess interesting and complex features in their structure, which match the useful length scale ranges that these techniques probe. The technique provides valuable information over a wide variety of scientific and technological applications including chemical aggregation, defects in materials, surfactants, colloids, ferromagnetic correlations in magnetism, alloy segregation, polymers, proteins, biological membranes, viruses, ribosome and macromolecules. There are numerous SANS instruments available worldwide. While analysis of the data can give information on size, shape, etc. , without making any model assumptions a preliminary analysis of the data can only give information on the radius of gyration for a particle using Guinier's equation.
- Small-angle neutron scattering', acroniem SANS ofwel Neutronenstrooiing onder kleine hoeken. De techniek is nauw verwant aan Small-angle X-ray scattering, maar maakt gebruik van neutronen in plaats van fotonen in het Röntgenbereik.
