Application of spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering to study the structure of charged colloids

We have recently built a SESANS setup at the Interfaculty Reactor Institute in Delft. Here, we present the measurements on charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. We have observed the local colloidal structure directly in real space. We consider the measurements on charged colloids in the frame of “like-charge attraction” controversy and show the advantage of SESANS' real-space domain for straightforward interpretation of the results.
