We present a strategy for quantitatively evaluating the field-induced alignment of nonspherical particles using small-angle scattering techniques. The orientational distribution function (ODF) is determined from the anisotropic scattering intensity via the scheme of real spherical harmonic expansion. Our developed approach is simple and analytical and does not require a presumptive hypothesis of the ODF as an input in data analysis. A model study of aligned rigid rods demonstrates the validity of this proposed approach to facilitate the quantitative structural characterization of materials with preferred orientational states.
