In situx-ray scattering study on the evolution of Ge island morphology and relaxation for low growth rate: Advanced transition to superdomes

Structure of Glancing Incidence Deposited TiO2 Thin Films as Revealed by Grazing Incidence Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering

“…To our knowledge, such patterns have not been reported previously for columnar systems although GISAXS patterns from faceted Ge quantum dots have shown non-centrosymmetric scattering. [7,10,11] Also, it is remarkable that the The sample is positioned with respect to the spatial coordinates x, y, and z as well as by its azimuthal orientation (w). The sample surface is defined as the xy plane; the incidence plane (xz) containing both the primary beam (PB) and the specular peak (SB) defines the meridian of the GISAXS pattern.…”

Probing surface and interface morphology with Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering

“…137 shows the measured GISAXS data for the growth temperature of 923 K as functions of the q y and q z coordinates of the scattering vector, i.e., for the [110] azimuthal directions of the primary beam. Very similar results were gained for the X-ray beam along the [ For the analysis of the measured data the DWBA for islands [37] (Section 6.2) was adapted to deduce directly the average height of the facets [478]. Let F (q) be the Fourier transform of the shape function S(r) of a single island.…”

Breaking Elastic Field Symmetry with Substrate Vicinality

“…The transition to superdomes is ruled either by anomalous coarsening or by coalescence [22,23]. A snapshot of the dome's coalescence can be seen in Fig.…”
