X-ray scattering functions of fractal structures : comparison between simulations and experiments

Abstract
Small angle X-ray scattering (S.A.X.S.) functions of aluminum hydroxide aggregates Al (OH)x, are quantitatively compared with the ones obtained from numerical simulations on cluster-cluster (C1-C1) aggregation models. While the x = 2.6 case is fitted by the standard 3d model, the x = 2.5 case can be fitted by a newly developed « tip-to-tip » 3d model, which considers cluster polarizability
