Destruction of long-range order recorded with in situ small-angle x-ray diffraction in drying colloidal crystals.
High-resolution synchrotron small-angle x-ray diffraction is applied to characterize the structure and long-range order in a sedimentary hard-sphere colloidal crystal before and during its drying. The principles of the technique and the influence of the coherence properties of the x-ray beam are dis...
