Comparative log–log graphs between scattering curves for (a) combusted and (b) intact samples. Part (c) corresponds to a magnification of Porod and background regions of (b). In (a), the bidirectional arrows represent segments of constant power-law slopes in scattering curves. Each segment's SD was calculated with 1σ level of statistical significance. The arrows follow the color code used for each sample. The letter `P' stands for the Porod region. Blue upper boxes highlight sizes in ångström calculated using d = 2π/q, with q values from the abscissa axis. For each sample, vertical green boxes highlight positions in the q reciprocal space for crystallite sizes (S1cx, S52cx, S51cx) in ångstrom. In (c), the vertical arrows delimit the maximal scatterer sizes in background regions (BGD). The hydrogen content measured for each sample is shown in horizontal rectangles. |
