Observation of Molecular Layering in Thin Liquid Films Using X-Ray Reflectivity

Yu, C.-J., Richter, A. G., Datta, A., Durbin, M. K., Dutta, P.·1999·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We report the direct observation of internal layering in thin ( $\ensuremath{\sim}45--90\AA{}$) liquid films of nearly spherical, nonpolar molecules, tetrakis(2-ethylhexoxy)silane, using synchrotron x-ray reflectivity. The Patterson functions have secondary maxima indicating layer formation, and model-independent fitting to the reflectivity data shows that there are three electron density oscillations near the solid-liquid interface, with a period of $\ensuremath{\sim}10\AA{}$ (consistent with the molecular dimensions). The oscillation amplitude has a strong inverse dependence on the substrate surface roughness.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
