Grazing incidence X-ray techniques are now widely used for surface and thin film analysis.
The present article overviews the recent advancement since 1993 of the grazing incidence X …

The interplay of ordering, confinement and growth in ultrathin films gives rise to various
interesting phenomena not observed in bulk materials. The nature of ordering and interfacial …

The properties of soft-matter thin films (eg liquid films, polymer coatings, Langmuir-Blodgett
multilayers) nowadays play an important role in materials science. They are also very …

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films occupy a unique niche at the crossroads of materials science,
complex fluids, and biophysics. They have many similarities to inorganic epitaxial films due …

A large number of low-dimensional nanomaterials having different shapes and being
dispersible in solvents open a fundamental question if there is a universal deposition …

X-ray scattering investigations of surfaces and interfaces in soft-condensed matter are
reviewed. Both high-resolution structural determinations in the direct space and …

We report on the preparation of high performance field-effect transistors (FETs) based on
large areas of aligned films of a TTF derivative, namely, tetrakis-(octadecylthio) …

Here we shall discuss the importance of grazing incidence X-ray scattering techniques in
studying morphology of nanostructured materials confined in thin films and multilayers. In …

The long-range interface correlation in thin polymer films (polystyrene and fully brominated
polystyrene) prepared by spin-coating is examined. Using diffuse X-ray scattering at small …

To control the properties of hybrid organo-clay films prepared by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB)
method, the film formation mechanism should be understood. This work aimed to …
