Resonant X-Ray Scattering from the Surface of a Dilute Hg-Au Alloy
Elaine DiMasi, Holger Tostmann, Oleg G. Shpyrko +5
We present the first resonant x-ray reflectivity measurements from a liquid surface. The surface structure of the liquid Hg-Au alloy system just beyond the solubility limit of 0.14…
Microscopic View on Short-Range Wetting at the Free Surface of the Binary Metallic Liquid Gallium-Bismuth: An X-ray Reflectivity and Square Gradient Theory Study
Patrick Huber, Oleg Shpyrko, Peter S. Pershan +3
We present an x-ray reflectivity study of wetting at the free surface of the binary liquid metal gallium-bismuth (Ga-Bi) in the region where the bulk phase separates into Bi-rich a…
Wetting behavior at the free surface of a liquid gallium-bismuth alloy: An X-ray reflectivity study close to the bulk monotectic point
Patrick Huber, Oleg Shpyrko, Peter S. Pershan +4
We present x-ray reflectivity measurements from the free surface of a liquid gallium-bismuth alloy (Ga-Bi) in the temperature range close to the bulk monotectic temperature $T_{mon…
X-ray study of the liquid potassium surface: structure and capillary wave excitations
Oleg Shpyrko, Patrick Huber, Peter S. Pershan +4
We present x-ray reflectivity and diffuse scattering measurements from the liquid surface of pure potassium. They strongly suggest the existence of atomic layering at the free surf…
Quenching of lamellar ordering in an n-alkane embedded in nanopores
Patrick Huber, Dirk Wallacher, Johann Albers +1
We present an X-ray diffraction study of the normale alkane nonadecane C_{19}H_{40} embedded in nanoporous Vycor glass. The confined molecular crystal accomplishes a close-packed s…
