Description:
One challenge in the production of nanometer-sized objects with given properties is to control their growth at a macroscopic scale in situ and in real time. A dedicated ultrahigh-vacuum grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering setup has been developed, yielding high sensitivity and dynamics. Its capabilities to derive the average particle shape and size and the film growth mode and ordering and to probe both surfaces and buried interfaces are illustrated for two prototypical cases: the model catalyst Pd/MgO(100) and the self-organized Co/Au(111) system. A wide range of technologically important systems can potentially be investigated in various gaseous environments.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Renaud, Gilles -- Lazzari, Remi -- Revenant, Christine -- Barbier, Antoine -- Noblet, Marion -- Ulrich, Olivier -- Leroy, Frederic -- Jupille, Jacques -- Borensztein, Yves -- Henry, Claude R -- Deville, Jean-Paul -- Scheurer, Fabrice -- Mane-Mane, Jeannot -- Fruchart, Olivier -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 30;300(5624):1416-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departement de Recherche Fondamentale sur la Matiere Condensee/Service de Physique des Materiaux et des Microstructures, Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique Grenoble, 38054 Grenoble Cedex 09, France. grenaud@cea.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12775836" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
