Neutron Reflectivity and Grazing Angle Diffraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last 10 years, neutron reflectivity has emerged as a powerful technique for the investigation of surface and interfacial phenomena in many different fields. In this paper, a short review of some of the work on neutron reflectivity and grazing-angle diffraction as well as a description of the current and planned neutron rcflectometers at NIST is presented. Specific examples of the characterization of magnetic, superconducting, and polymeric surfaces and interfaces are included.

Neutron and X-ray scattering on the monolayer structure of a lecithin fullerene-derivative.
Using neutron reflectivity with contrast variation, X-ray reflectivity, and grazing incident small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), we have characterized the in-depth and in-plane structural characteristics of the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films formed by a novel lecithin C60-derivative, FPTL, of three phospholipids jointly bonded on one single olefinic moiety of a C60 cage. Based on ...

In-plane diffraction and reflectivity measurements of an organosilane
A high-intensity grazing-incidence X-ray diffractometer system, which uses a parabolic graded multilayer mirror and an 18-kW rotating-anode generator, has recently been developed for the structural characterization of surfaces and thin film~. Its goniometer has two in-plane tp/20 x axes and two conventional m¢20 axes for measurements of in-plane and out-of-plane diffraction, respectively. The d...
متن کاملImplementation of a beam deflection system for studies of liquid interfaces on beamline I07 at Diamond.
X-ray optics, based on a double-crystal deflection scheme, that enable reflectivity measurements from liquid surfaces/interfaces have been designed, built and commissioned on beamline I07 at Diamond Light Source. This system is able to deflect the beam onto a fixed sample position located at the centre of a five-circle diffractometer. Thus the incident angle can be easily varied without moving ...

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 کاملInterface-sensitive imaging by an image reconstruction aided X-ray reflectivity technique1
Recently, the authors have succeeded in realizing X-ray reflectivity imaging of heterogeneous ultrathin films at specific wavevector transfers by applying a wide parallel beam and an area detector. By combining in-plane angle and grazing-incidence angle scans, it is possible to reconstruct a series of interface-sensitive X-ray reflectivity images at different grazing-incidence angles (proportio...
