RESUMO
The potentialities of coherent X-radiation for investigation of structural features of self-assembled systems and liquid crystals was studied using Monte Carlo techniques. The radiation spectra were simulated for the case of interaction of 20 MeV electrons with a liquid crystal, and the influence of the various crystal parameters was studied. The simulations show that coherent X-radiation spectra are almost free of background, and that such measurements could be considered as an alternative to those where Synchrotron sources are used.
