Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (GISAXS) on Small Targets Using Large Beams [PDF]

, 2017
GISAXS is often used as a versatile tool for the contactless and destruction-free investigation of nanostructured surfaces. However, due to the shallow incidence angles, the footprint of the X-ray beam is significantly elongated, limiting GISAXS to ...
