An interesting feature of several soft matter systems is so-called orientational order, which can be referred to a specific orientation of anisotropic building blocks or bonds between these blocks. Angular x-ray cross-correlation analysis (AXCCA) is a method to analyze and interpret the anisotropy in x-ray scattering data in order to reveal the details of the orientational order [1]. In combination with scanning x-ray diffraction, AXCCA allows to study the spatial distribution of the orientational order across a large sample. After explaining the concepts of AXCCA, we will discuss the example of such a system, in which orientational order exists at several length scales, namely a superlattice of PbS nanocrystals coupled by organic linkers [2]. AXCCA allows to reveal the preferred orientation of nanoparticles with respect to the superlattice and the degree of angular disorder.
