Topic: X-Ray Scattering fromThin Films and Surfaces: Fundamentals and Practical Applications
Time: 10:00 AM, Sept. 29th
Location: Conference Room B, BLDG 909-1F
Abstract:
X-ray scattering is the traditionally the mostsuccessful method for structure determination, from inorganic materials to molecular systems toproteins. The conventionalapplication is frequently considered to be associated with bulk materials, butof course there are many ways X-ray scattering can be employed to characterizethin films and surfaces or other forms of nano-materials. Thepresentation will explain the fundamentals of X-ray scattering from thin filmsand surfaces. After explaining the concept of grazing-incidencescattering and the associated surface-sensitivity we will discuss differentspecific applications, namely:
- X-ray reflectivity (XRR)
- grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD)
- grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS)
- nano-diffraction from nano-particles
For each technique, we will discuss practicalapplications to thin films, surfaces, and other nano-materials.
