Workshop 8
Applications of Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering
Friday, May 6, 2005
Location: Bldg. 402, Room E1100/E1200
Organizers: Jin Wang, Advanced Photon Source, and Randall Winans, Chemistry Division, Argonne National Laboratory
As an increasingly important structural-characterization technique, grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISAXS) finds vast application in nanostructures and nanocomposites at surfaces and interfaces. Most significantly, as a complementary method to conventional surface-sensitive tools such as scanning probe microscopy and electron microscopy, GISAXS can be used in situ and in real time to monitor the formation of a nanostructure or nanocomposite. This capability makes it especially suitable for studying the kinetics of nanoassembly processes. This workshop will focus on the applications of GISAXS and the current technical capability at the APS to support general users in this area.
