Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) spectroscopy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the use of wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) spectroscopy to calculate the pair distribution function in amorphous ice, as detailed in the referenced paper. It highlights the precise distances to the first coordination shell for low-, high-, and very-high-density amorphous ice, measured at 2.75, 2.78, and 2.80 Å, respectively. The accuracy of these measurements is attributed to the large momentum transfer of 23 Å−1 utilized in the experiments. Participants seek clarification on the significance of momentum range in this context. Understanding this aspect is crucial for interpreting the structural properties of different forms of amorphous ice.

I read the "J. Phys. Chem. B 2018, 122, 7616−7624" paper where they calculated the pair distribution function using wide-angle X-ray scattering and mentioned the term " The distances to the first coordination shell for low-, high-, and very-high-density amorphous ice (LDA, HDA, VHDA) were determined to be 2.75, 2.78, and 2.80 Å, respectively, with high accuracy due to measurements up to a large momentum transfer of 23 Å−1 ". Can anybody help me in understanding the term? How the range of momentum
