Small angle X-ray scattering has been utilised to study the structure
of hematite aggregates. The small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) spectr
a obtained provided insight into structure of the hematite aggregates
and the size of the primary particles. The structural analysis results
obtained by SAXS are consistent with previous results obtained from s
tatic light scattering studies. Both techniques indicate that the mass
fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates are markedly higher than th
ose obtained for other particle systems.
