In addition to bulk thermodynamic experiments, scattering measurements can be used to probe microscopic fluctuations at length scales of the order of the probe wavelength λ. In a typical set up, a beam of wavevector ki is incident upon the sample and the scattered intensity is measured at wavevector ks = ki+q. For elastic scattering, |ki| = |ks| ≡ k, and q ≡ |q| = 2k sin θ, where θ is the angle...
