We observed surface X-ray diffraction from He-4 submonolayers adsorbed on a single-surface graphite using synchrotron X-rays. Time evolutions of scattering intensities along the crystal truncation rod (CTR) were observed even after reaching…
A few atomic layers of helium adsorbed on graphite have been attracting much attention as one of the ideal quantum systems in two dimension. Although previous reports on neutron diffraction have shown fundamental structural information in…
We comment and discuss the findings and conclusions of a recent theoretical study of the diffraction of He atoms from a monolayer of Xe atoms adsorbed on the graphite (0001) surface [Khokonov et al., Surf. Sci. 496(2002)L13]. By revisiting…
Miscut surfaces of layered crystals can exhibit a stair-like sequence of terraces having periodic variation in their atomic structure. For hexagonal close-packed and related crystal structures with an {\alpha}{\beta}{\alpha}{\beta} stacking…
Incoherent surface scattering yields a statistical description of the surface, due to the ensemble averaging over many independently sampled volumes. Depending on the state of the surface and direction of the scattering vector relative to…
A general formalism of X-ray scattering from different kinds of surface morphologies is described. Based on a description of the surface morphology at the atomic scale through the use of the paracrystal model and discrete distributions of…
Using coherent x-ray scattering, we evidenced atomic step roughness at the [111] vicinal surface of a silicon monocrystal of 0.05 degree miscut. Close to the (1/2 1/2 1/2) anti-Bragg position of the reciprocal space which is particularly…
We demonstrate a strategy for simulating wide-range X-ray scattering patterns, which spans the small- and wide scattering angles as well as the scattering angles typically used for Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis. Such simulated…
Imaging surfaces using low energy neutral atom scattering is a relatively recent development in the field of microscopy. In this work we demonstrate that this technique is sensitive enough to distinguish films as thin as a single monolayer…
A growing number of shock compression experiments, especially those involving laser compression, are taking advantage of in situ x-ray diffraction as a tool to interrogate structure and microstructure evolution. Although these experiments…
Crystal truncation rods are used to study surface and interface structure. Since real surfaces are always somewhat miscut from a low index plane, it is important to study the effect of miscut on crystal truncation rods. We develop a model…
We develop a general theory of crystal truncation rod (CTR) scattering from vicinal surfaces with a coherently strained heteroepitaxial film. The formalism incorporates film-induced interference fringes, full elastic lattice distortion,…
The surface phonon dispersion curves of commensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(111) and incommensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(001) surfaces have been measured using He atom scattering (HAS) time of flight (TOF) spectroscopy. The TOF spectra are…
Periodic multilayers are nowadays widely used to perform x-ray analysis in the soft x-ray range (photon energy lower than 1 keV). However, they do not permit to obtain high-resolution spectra like natural or synthetic crystals. Thus,…
We present coherent speckled x-ray diffraction patterns obtained from a monolayer of surface atoms. We measured both the specular anti-Bragg reflection and the off-specular hexagonal reconstruction peak for the Au (0 0 1) surface…
Crystal truncation rods calculated in the kinematical approximation are shown to quantitatively agree with the sum of the diffracted waves obtained in the two-beam dynamical calculations for different reflections along the rod. The choice…
Diffraction patterns produced by fast He atoms grazingly impinging on a LiF(001) surface are investigated focusing on the influence of the beam collimation. Single- and double- slit collimating devices situated in front of the beam source…
The structure of an adsorption octadecanamide film at the planar toluene-water interface is studied by X-ray reflectometry using synchrotron radiation with photon energy of 15 keV. The electron density (polarizability) profiles, according…
The performance of manganite-based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) has suffered from reduced magnetization present at the junction interfaces that is ultimately responsible for the spin polarization of injected currents; this behavior has…
We revisit the problem of adsorption of a single He-4 layer on graphene, focusing on the commensurate C1/3 crystalline phase, specifically on whether it may possess a nonzero superfluid response, and on the existence of superfluid phases,…
