InN thin film lattice dynamics by grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Achieving comprehensive information on thin film lattice dynamics so far has eluded well established spectroscopic techniques. We demonstrate here the novel application of grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering combined with ab initio calculations to determine the complete elastic stiffness tensor, the acoustic and low-energy optic phonon dispersion relations of thin wurtzite indium nitride films. Indium nitride is an especially relevant example, due to the technological interest for optoelectronic and solar cell applications in combination with other group III nitrides.

Measurement of the interior structure of thin polymer films using grazing incidence diffuse x-ray scattering.
A method is developed for calculating the small-angle x-ray scattering originating from within the interior of a thin film under grazing incidence illumination. This offers the possibility of using x-ray scattering to probe how the structure of polymers is modified by confinement. When the diffuse scattering from a thin film is measured over a range of incident angles, it is possible to separat...
متن کاملMultiple scattering in grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction: impact on lattice-constant determination in thin films.
Dynamical scattering effects are observed in grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction experiments using an organic thin film of 2,2':6',2''-ternaphthalene grown on oxidized silicon as substrate. Here, a splitting of all Bragg peaks in the out-of-plane direction (z-direction) has been observed, the magnitude of which depends both on the incidence angle of the primary beam and the out-of-plane angle o...
متن کاملInvestigating Polymer–Metal Interfaces by Grazing Incidence Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering from Gradients to Real-Time Studies
Tailoring the polymer-metal interface is crucial for advanced material design. Vacuum deposition methods for metal layer coating are widely used in industry and research. They allow for installing a variety of nanostructures, often making use of the selective interaction of the metal atoms with the underlying polymer thin film. The polymer thin film may eventually be nanostructured, too, in ord...
متن کاملEvidence for kinetically limited thickness dependent phase separation in organic thin film blends.
We present depth-resolved grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, grazing incidence small angle scattering and x-ray reflectivity studies on the structure of mixed C(60) and diindinoperylene (DIP) films as a function of the mixing ratio. We observe enhanced out-of-plane order and smoothing of the mixed films compared to pure films upon coevaporation of DIP:C(60) thin films (in different mixing rat...
متن کاملIn situ studies of morphology, strain, and growth modes of a molecular organic thin film
We use grazing incidence x-ray scattering to study the molecular structure and morphology of thin ~,70 ML! crystalline films of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride ~PTCDA! on Au~111! surfaces as a function of film thickness, substrate temperature, and growth rate. Although the first two PTCDA monolayers grow in a layer-by-layer fashion, the film evolution beyond the second monolayer de...
