Morphology reconstruction from experimental small-angle x-ray scattering patterns by physics-aware neural network by Chenhao Zhao, Shenyang Sun, Xueqing Han, Jianhe Zhu, Wancheng Yu, Liangbin Li

“…The developed methodology here allows us to rapidly predict the morphologies for any given SAXS pattern without any in-prior phase information and, thus, provides an intuitive understanding of the microstructures of the measured samples. A real-time feedback of the morphologies of measured samples to SAXS beamline users at modern synchrotron radiation light sources will be feasible in the near future.…”
