Anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS) was employed to analyze
CdSxSe1-x-doped silicate glasses, x = 0.4 and 0.6. From the intensity
variations, as measured for four X-ray energies near the K-absorption
edge of Se and at 9.5 keV, reliable values for the ratio of molecular
densities in the crystalline CdSxSe1-x phase and the surrounding amor
phous matrix were found. Combination of this with the integrated inten
sity yields values for the CdSxSe1-x volume fraction of 0.7 to 3%. Mea
n particle radii between 5 and 7 nm and number densities in the range
1 to 8 x 10(16) cm(-3) were obtained from fitted Gaussian and log-norm
al size distributions, respectively.
