Table 1. Fractional standard uncertainty in desmeared calibrated USAXS intensity for one measurement of one coupon for a USAXS setup at a specific X-ray energy.
X-ray energy (keV) | Number of coupons measured | Standard uncertainty (%) |
---|---|---|
10.5 | 4 | 2.19 |
11.5 | 4 | 2.16 |
11.5 | 16 | 2.09 |
12.0 | 4 | 1.81 |
12.0 | 16 | 1.71 |
16.8 | 4 | 2.24 |
The same four glassy carbon coupons, each cut from the center of a plate, were measured at all four X-ray energies. At 11.5 and 12.0 keV, 12 additional coupons were measured, cut from the edge, corner and intermediate locations.
