Book excerpt: The x-ray standing wave technique is a sensitive tool for determining the position of atoms within a crystal, adsorbed onto a surface or distributed within the crystal or at the interface. The technique is based on the x-ray standing wave field that arises as a result of the interference of coherently related incident and reflected plane waves and is described by the theory of dynamical diffraction of x-rays. When two coherently related traveling plane waves having the same wavelength pass through each other their superposition results in a standing wave of period D = lambda/2 sin theta; where lambda is the wavelength of the traveling waves, and 2 theta is the relative angle between them. The generation of a standing wave requires both an incident and a reflected wave and the letter can be generated by either Bragg diffraction or total external reflection.
Download or read book X ray Standing Wave Technique The Principles And Applications written by Jorg Zegenhagen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The X-ray standing wave (XSW) technique is an X-ray interferometric method combining diffraction with a multitude of spectroscopic techniques. It is extremely powerful for obtaining information about virtually all properties of surfaces and interfaces on the atomic scale. However, as with any other technique, it has strengths and limitations. The proper use and necessary understanding of this method requires knowledge in quite different fields of physics and technology. This volume presents comprehensively the theoretical background, technical requirements and distinguished experimental highlights of the technique. Containing contributions from the most prominent experts of the technique, such as Andre Authier, Boris Batterman, Michael J Bedzyk, Jene Golovchenko, Victor Kohn, Michail Kovalchuk, Gerhard Materlik and D Phil Woodruff, the book equips scientists with all the necessary information and knowledge to understand and use the XSW technique in practically all applications.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1/3 monolayer (ML) Sn/Si(III)-(√3 x √3)R30° surface structure has been extensively studied using x-ray standing waves (XSW). The summation of several XSW measured hkl Fourier components results in a three-dimensional, model-independent direct-space image of the Sn atomic distribution. While the image demonstrates that the Sn atoms are located at Si(111) T4-adsorption sites, it alone cannot determine whether the Sn atomic distribution is flat or asymmetric. However, conventional XSW analysis can make this distinction, concluding that one-third of the Sn atoms are located 0.26 A higher than the remaining two-thirds. This "one up and two down" distribution is consistent with the vertical displacements predicted by a dynamical fluctuations model. A second sample prepared in a slightly different manner exhibits the same long-range surface symmetry, but a direct space image clearly reveals that a significant fraction of the Sn atoms in the second surface have substituted for Si atoms in the bottom of the Si surface bilayer.

Download or read book Synchrotron Radiation Selected Experiments in Condensed Matter Physics written by W. Czaja and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains most of the invited talks and two contributed posters of a workshop which was held in]uly 1990 within the frame of the Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verita at Ascona in Switzerland. The main idea has been to demonstrate that in many areas in solid state physics the use of synchrotron radiation as a powerful source for polarized uv radiation between 5 eV and about 1500 eV yields exciting new results. Furthermore, one has tried to attract a larger number of Ph D-students to bring them into contact with experienced people in the field. This tutorial aspect, I su ppose, is also in the spirit of Stefano Franscini, after whom the Centro, a joint undertaking between the Cantone Ticino and the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), has been named. Stefano Franscini, himself a dedicated teacher, has been the first member of his Canton in the Swiss Federal Council. As such he has been head of the departement of the interior and has been strongly supporting the foundation of the ETHZ. But he is also reknown, even today, as Cantonal Counceler, who has organised the elementary school system in Ticino.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrochemical surface science (EC-SS) is the natural advancement of traditional surface science (where gas–vacuum/solid interfaces are studied) to liquid (solution)/electrified solid interfaces. Such a merging between two different disciplines—i.e., surface science (SS) and electrochemistry—officially advanced ca. three decades ago. The main characteristic of EC-SS versus electrochemistry is the reductionist approach undertaken, inherited from SS and aiming to understand the microscopic processes occurring at electrodes on the atomic level. A few of the exemplary keystone tools of EC-SS include EC-scanning probe microscopies, operando and in situ spectroscopies and electron microscopies, and differential EC mass spectrometry (DEMS). EC-SS indirectly (and often unconsciously) receives a great boost from the requirement for rational design of energy conversion and storage devices for the next generation of energetic landscapes. As a matter of fact, the number of material science groups deeply involved in such a challenging field has tremendously expanded and, within such a panorama, EC and SS investigations are intimately combined in a huge number of papers. The aim of this Special Issue is to offer an open access forum where researchers in the field of electrochemistry, surface science, and materials science could outline the great advances that can be reached by exploiting EC-SS approaches. Papers addressing both the basic science and more applied issues in the field of EC-SS and energy conversion and storage materials have been published in this Special Issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces. The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an introduction of the scientific problem, the theory necessary to understand how the technique works and how to understand the results. Descriptions of real experimental setups, experimental results at different systems are given to show both the strength and the limits of the technique. In a final part the new developments and possible extensions of the techniques are presented. The included techniques provide microscopic as well as macroscopic information. They cover most of the techniques used in surface science.
