Table 1. SLDs of H2O (solvent), poly(styrene) (sphere) and iron oxide for neutrons and X-rays.
neutrons | X-rays | |
---|---|---|
ρH2O = ρsolvent | −5.6 · 10−5 1/nm2 | 9.5 · 10−4 1/nm2 |
ρpoly(styrene) = ρsphere | 1.3 · 10−4 1/nm2 | 9.2 · 10−4 1/nm2 |
ρiron oxide | 6.7 · 10−4 1/nm2 | 40.6 · 10−4 1/nm2 |
ρshell | 1.8 · 10−4 1/nm2 | 9.7 · 10−4 1/nm2 |
As iron oxide magnetite (Fe3O4) was assumed. For poly(styrene) (chemical formula (C8H8)n) the volumetric mass density 1g/cm3 was used for the calculation. The SLDs ρshell > ρsphere were used for the calculations of the PDDFs of the particles (Fig. 2).
