Determination of microscopic interaction constants by x-ray reflectivity measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
The density profiles of liquid-gas interfaces of binary mixtures are determined by xray reflectivity measurements. The surface tension γ is calculated from the measured data in the framework of the capillary waves theory. It is demonstrated that gradient theory can be used to investigate the van der Waals interaction between the different constituents of the liquid. The determination of Lennard-Jones constants and mixing rules for molecule-molecule interactions leads to a microscopic understanding of the liquid-gas interface. The refinement of the gradient theory to the data shows very good agreement when a liquid-gas interface according to a capillary wave roughness is used.

Measurements of the Optical Constants of Scandium in the 50-1300eV Range
Scandium containing multilayers have been produced with very high reflectivity in the soft x-ray spectrum. Accurate optical constants are required in order to model the multilayer reflectivity. Since there are relatively few measurements of the optical constants of Scandium in the soft x-ray region we have performed measurements over the energy range of 50-1,300 eV. Thin films of Scandium were ...
متن کاملDetermination of layer structure in Mo/Si multilayers using soft X-ray reflectivity
The soft X-ray reflectivity characterization of Mo/Si multilayer deposited by electron beam evaporation is discussed. The measurements are performed on Indus-1 synchrotron storage ring. The interdiffusion of two-layer materials in multilayer leads to the formation of interlayers. To understand the influence of interlayers and interfacial roughness on soft X-ray reflectivity profile, simulation ...
متن کاملOptical constants measurements of strongly absorbing media.
An experimental arrangement is described for determination of refractive indices n and extinction coefficients k of strongly absorbing liquids and solids over a wide spectral region. The reflectivity of parallel polarized light vs angle of incidence is measured, and the optical constants are calculated from the minimum parallel reflectivity and the corresponding Brewster angle. The accuracy of ...

The crystal structure of the title Schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.The solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(II) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. The crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.
متن کاملResonant X-ray Reflectivity from the Liquid Bi-In Surface
Resonant x-ray reflectivity measurements from the surface of liquid Bi22In78 find only a modest surface Bi enhancement, with 35 at% Bi in the first atomic layer. This is in contrast to the Gibbs adsorption in all liquid alloys studied to date, which show surface segregation of a complete monolayer of the low surface tension component. This suggests that surface adsorption in Bi-In is dominated ...
