AbstractMechanism and dynamics of the ordering process in oriented crystallization of polymers were investigated by time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXS). As a model system for the oriented crystallization, a cross-linked polybutadiene rubber with a high cis-1,4-linkage was chosen, and the structure evolution during the isothermal crystallization was investigated under constant elongations by real time and in situ analyses of the microscopic observables such as long spacing, crystallite size, SAXS integrated intensity, WAXS crystallinity and WAXS line width as well as a macroscopic observable such as stress. The isothermal ordering processes were explored in three different crystallization regimes: crystallization from (i) unoriented melts, (ii) weakly-to-moderately oriented melts and (iii) highly oriented melts.

Materials with systematic absence of X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks are desirable for conducting some special researches using X-ray diffraction or time-resolved X-ray scattering. This paper proposes a method for designing this kind of materials. It utilizes solid solution to reduce the structure factor of a selected reflection to zero by choosing proper components and their contents to let the reflection amplitudes from different atomic layers in a unit cell of the solid solution cancel each other completely. This method on how to select a solid solvent and how to calculate its content was illustrated using SrTiO3 as an example. A solid solution Sr1−xCaxTiO3 with a systematic absence of the (001) diffraction can be designed, and the value of x can be determined to be x=0.54 using an iteration calculation process. This result was verified by the experimental XRD pattern of a Sr0.46Ca0.54TiO3 sample.

The feasibility of time-resolved structural studies using pulsed X-ray radiation from a 3rd generation synchrotron is discussed and compared with scattering experiments which might be possible with a future free electron laser (X-FEL). As an example, it is shown that the structural changes during the isomerisation process of trans-stilbene into cis-stilbene can be observed using time-resolved X-ray diffraction in the gas-phase as well as in solution.

Photogeneration of excess charge carriers in semiconductors produces electronic strain. Under transient conditions, electron-hole pairs may be separated across a potential barrier. Using time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements across an intrinsic AlGaAs/n-doped GaAs interface, we find that the electronic strain is only produced by holes, and that electrons are not directly observable by strain measurements. The presence of photoinduced charge carriers in the n-doped GaAs is indirectly confirmed by delayed heat generation via recombination.
