Correlation of order beyond the first neighbour shell in complex liquids

In the proposed experiment, we want to probe the structure of different complex liquids. We plan to study hard spheres and charge-stabilized colloids. Using X-ray cross correlation analysis (XCCA) in Ultra-small angle scattering (USAXS) geometry, correlations of local order will be accessed beyond the first neighbour shell by correlations of different q-values to validate the predictions from simulations.
