“…The SAXS technique has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for quantitatively determining the shape, orientation and size of a large number of polydispersed nanoparticles in bulk samples of various alloys [17], such as Al-Cu and Al-Mg-Si alloys [18][19][20], Al-Cu-Li alloys [21,22], Al-Zn-Mg alloys [23][24][25][26][27], Al-Li alloys [28], Al-Si-Zr-V-Fe alloys [29], Ti-Ni-Hf alloys [30], Fe-Cr alloys [31], Zr-Pd alloys [32] and Cu-Co alloys [33]. Moreover, several SAXS studies have resolved the different structures of two co-existing plate-like precipitates [34][35][36].…”
