Probing Functional Thin Films with Grazing Incidence X-Ray Scattering: The Power of Indexing by Detlef-M. Smilgies

“…Grazing incidence small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS, GIWAXS) has been widely applied for the study of functional thin films, be it for the characterization of nanostructured morphologies in block copolymers, nanocomposites, and nanoparticle assemblies, or for the packing and orientation of aromatic molecules or conjugated polymers. Solution-processed thin films are typically uniaxial powders, with a specific crystallographic plane oriented parallel to the substrate surface while ordered domains assume random orientations laterally. …”
