X-Ray Cross-Correlation Analysis of Disordered Ensembles of Particles: Potentials and Limitations
Figure 1
(a) Geometry of the diffraction experiment. A coherent X-ray beam illuminates a disordered sample and produces a diffraction pattern on a detector. The direction of the incident beam is defined along the z-axis of the coordinate system. (b) A disordered 3D sample composed of tetrahedral pentamers. All clusters have random position and orientation in the 3D space. (c) A disordered 2D sample composed of asymmetric clusters. All clusters have random position and orientation in the 2D plane.
