AbstractInterfacial microstructures in 100-period InxGa1−xAs(15Å)/GaAs(100Å) superlattices grown on GaAs (100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy were studied by using large angle x-ray scattering techniques. Unusual satellite peaks in the lateral direction parallel to the sample surface were observed in a sample with x = 0.535 grown at 480°C, indicating an in-plane structural ordering. This result is confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy observations that thickness modulation in the InxGa1−xAs layers gives rise to long-range lateral periodic arrays of cluster-like microstructures with spacing on the order of a few hundred Ångstroms. This thickness modulation is found to occur only in [110] direction, thus the material can be viewed as a somewhat disordered array of grown-in parallel quantum wires.

A designed surfactant-like peptide is shown, using a combination of cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering, to have remarkable pH-dependent self-assembly properties.

A SWAXS (small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering) instrument was recently installed at the wiggler beamline BL17B3 of the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), Taiwan. The instrument, which is designed for studies of static and dynamic nanostructures and correlations between the nano (ormeso) structure (SAXS) and crystalline structure (WAXS), provides a flux of 1010–1011photon s−1at the sample at energies between 5 and 14 keV. With a SAXS area detector and a WAXS linear detector connected to two data acquisition systems operated in master–slave mode, the instrument allows one to perform time-resolved as well as anomalous scattering measurements. Data reduction algorithms have been developed for rapid processing of the large SWAXS data sets collected during time-resolved measurements. The performance of the instrument is illustrated by examples taken from different classes of ongoing projects: (i) time-resolved SAXS/WAXS/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with a time resolution of 10 s on a semicrystalline poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) sample, (ii) anomalous SAXS/WAXS measurements on a nanoparticulate PtRu catalyst, and (iii) grazing-incidence SAXS of a monolayer of oriented semiconductor quantum wires, and humidity-controlled ordering of Alamethicin peptides embedded in an oriented lipid membrane.
