Glassy Carbon Round Robin

Samples

Two samples of glassy carbons (labeled C4 and G9) from Jan Ilavsky have made their way (as of Dec 1 2008) to NIST, ILL and ISIS and will head on to Diamond and APS. Additionally another sample, labeled G8, has been measured at ISIS.

The samples are cut from glassy carbon material, manufactured by Alpha Aesar under description: Glassy Carbon type 2. These samples are manufactured in 50 x 50 mm plates, nominally 1 mm thick. Measurements with a micrometer were all between 0.99 and 1.01 mm

ESRF ID01 PINHOLE

The calibration sample measured on ID01 is designated "Glassy Carbon type 2 C, sample C14", thickness 1 mm.

The scattering intensity has been determined by cross calibration with a secondary standard ("lupolen BL4"). The scattering intensity of this sample decreases locally with the absorbed dose where irradiated. The unirradiated parts of this sample have identical scattering intensities that are higher than the scattering intensites of the irradiated parts. The calibration factor was found by scanning the secondary standard and using only an unirradiated part for calibration. Due to the uncertainties of the sample the accuracy of the absolute calibration is not assumed to be better than +-20%. The error bars indicate the statistical errors that are practically neglegible (typically 0.1% of the data values).

ESRF ID02 USAXS

The calibration sample measured on ID02 is designated "Glassy Carbon type 2 C, sample C14", thickness 1 mm. The scattering intensity has been calibrated with the USAXS camera relative to the primary beam without any cross calibration.

Remark: To increase the resolution at very low q-values a third crystal is mounted perpendicular to the scanning crystals. This reduces the sensitivity at higher q-values. Therefore only the range from qmin=0.0002*nm to qmax=0.06*nm has been measured.
