TLDR
In this paper, the details of the interface region of a molecular beam epitaxially grown Al single crystal on a single-crystal substrate were studied using X-ray diffraction and total external reflection.
Abstract
A new technique utilizing conventional x‐ray diffraction in conjunction with total external reflection has provided a powerful tool for studying ordered interfaces and surface phenomena. It has been used in this work to study the details of the interface region of a molecular beam epitaxially grown Al single crystal on a molecular beam epitaxially grown GaAs single‐crystal substrate. A simple model including variations of the lattice parameter and disorder in the interface region is in agreement with these experimental results.

Biological reduction of nanoengineered iron(III) oxide sculptured thin films.

TL;DR: Results underscore the feasibility of an STF-based fiber optic iron(lll) reduction sensor for in situ subsurface deployment and determine that mineralogy of the film materials did not change, but surface roughness generally increased.

Applications of synchrotron radiation in materials analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the synchrotron radiation (SR) emitted by circulating high-energy electrons has extraordinary properties: the light is intensive and bright, it is tunable and highly collimated, and finally it is linearly polarized.

High-resolution grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction for characterization of defects in crystal surface layers

TL;DR: In this paper, the peculiarities of high-resolution measurements in grazing-incidence diffraction (GID) are studied, both theoretically and experimentally, and it is shown that complete discrimination between coherent reflection and diffuse scattering due to defects in GID requires a three-dimensional mapping of reciprocal space.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of an interfacial super-structure: a-si on Ge0.2Si0.8 (111)-5 × 5

TL;DR: In this article, the interfacial structure between amorphous Si (a-Si) and Ge 0.2 Si 0.8 /Si(111) was investigated by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction with the use of a synchroton radiation Xray source.

CXVII. The total reflexion of X-rays

TL;DR: In this article, the total reflexion of X-rays was studied and it was shown that X-ray can be interpreted as a measure of the amount of radiation absorbed by the human body.

Single‐crystal‐aluminum Schottky‐barrier diodes prepared by molecular‐beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs

TL;DR: In this paper, the metal-semiconductor surface barriers were formed by epitaxially grown Al(001) on GaAs (001) with MBE at room temperature.
