Exploiting small angle X-ray and neutron scattering SAXS/SANS methods on the same sample volume at the same time offers a unique possibility to obtain complementary nanoscale structural information at two different contrast situations. A custom-made portable SAXS system has been designed, constructed and installed at D22-ILL for simultaneous SAXS/SANS experiments. For the first time, the temporal structural cross-correlation between organic stabilizing agent (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide; CTAB micelles) and gold seeds, which cooperate in the formation of different size/shape of large stabilized gold nanoparticles [1], has reliably been determined on the same sample. Compared with an independent experimental approach, the current experimental approach ensures the exactness of the probed samples, especially for time-resolved studies. This novel nano-analytical method at ILL will answer yet unresolved scientific questions allowing real time investigations of a wide range of innovative materials such as smart self-assembling nanomaterials and multifunctional materials as well as enabling comprehensive in situ studies on biological systems.
