Material:Silver behenate

Silver behenate, or AgBH is silver salt of a long-chain fatty acid.

It is frequently used as a calibration standard in SAXS and WAXS, because it generates a large number of well-defined rings whose q-position is well-known.

Peak positions

• $q_{0}=0.1076\mathrm {\AA} ^{-1}$
• Rings:
  1. 0.1076 Å⁻¹
  2. 0.2152 Å⁻¹
  3. 0.3228 Å⁻¹
  4. 0.4304 Å⁻¹
  5. 0.5380 Å⁻¹
  6. 0.6456 Å⁻¹
  7. 0.7532 Å⁻¹
  8. 0.8608 Å⁻¹
  9. 0.9684 Å⁻¹
  10. 1.076 Å⁻¹
  11. 1.184 Å⁻¹
• There is a doublet at approximately:
  1. 1.369 Å⁻¹
  2. 1.387 Å⁻¹

AgBH standard at low-q (SAXS)
