Micellar Shapes and Phase Behaviour

In parallel with this series of micellar, lamellar and sponge phases which follow one after the other as 0a/0s is increased, the morphology of the aggregates themselves evolves. It passes through the sequence of spherical, cylindrical and 

The dependence I q) of intensity on q is determined by the spatial distribution of matter in the sample. Moreover, the explored range of wave vectors corresponds to the spatial scale over which the sample is observed. For large wave vectors, the profile I(q) contains information about the small scale local structure of the sample. Conversely, for small wave vectors, I q) gives information about large scale structure.
