contents Contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS) has been widely employed for nano structural analysis of multicomponent systems. In CV-SANS experiments, scattering intensities of samples with different scattering co\ ntrasts are decomposed into partial scattering functions, corresponding to structure of each component and cross-correlation between different components, by singular value decomposition (SVD). However, the estimation of partial scattering functions with small absolute values often suffers from instability due to the significant differences in the singular values. In this paper, we propose a remedy for this instability by introducing the Tikhonov regularization, which ensures more stable reconstruction of the partial scattering functions.
