Scattering Study

The growth of Ag on MgO(001) was investigated from sub monolayer up to 600 Å coverage. A new method for the preparation of very flat, clean and stoichiometric MgO(001) surfaces is described. The growth is found to be intrinsic, with negligible influence of surface defects. Twins appear at the very first stages of deposition while stacking faults form during the coalescence. A detailed mechanism is proposed for the elastic and plastic misfit relaxation processes. The introduction of a new dislocation within an island is, whatever its size, preceded by a strong deformation of its edges. Plastic relaxation is shown to be a continuous process that starts well before coalescence and the appearance of an interfacial dislocation network.

Solvent Vapor Annealing

Since the properties of functional materials are highly dependent on their specific structure, and since the structural changes, for example during crystallization, induced by coating and annealing processes are significant, the study of structure and its formation is of interest for fundamental and applied science. However, structure analysis is often limited to ex situ determination of final states due to the lack of specialized sample cells that enable real-time investigations. The lack of such cells is mainly due to their fairly complex design and geometrical restrictions defined by the beamline setups. To overcome this obstacle, an advanced sample cell has been designed and constructed; it combines automated doctor blading, solvent vapor annealing and sample hydration with real-time grazing-incidence wide- and small-angle scattering (GIWAXS/GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR). The sample cell has limited spatial requirements and is therefore widely usable at beamlines and laboratory-scale instruments. The cell is fully automatized and remains portable, including the necessary electronics. In addition, the cell can be used by interested scientists in cooperation with the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics and is expandable with regard to optical secondary probes. Exemplary research studies are presented, in the form of coating of P3HT:PC61PM thin films, solvent vapor annealing of DRCN5T:PC71BM thin films, and hydration of supported phospholipid multilayers, to demonstrate the capabilities of the in situ cell.
