In-situ x-ray scattering studies of Ag nano-structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)When metals are synthesized on the nanoscale, new physics can arise in the growth process as quantum confinement of the conduction electrons, known as quantum size effects, can lead to preferred heights of metallic nanoscale ... -
Quantifying structural disorder in bulk hydrogenated graphene using x-ray and neutron diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Functionalization of graphene's two-dimensional sheets can be used to modify graphene's physical properties, such as changing its conductivity or inducing ferromagnetism, which is of broad interest for a myriad of applications. ... -
Subsurface structure & morphology : Epitaxial metal film growth studied by in situ X-ray scattering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)The existence of missing material (vacancies) below the exposed surface was deduced from deposition-angle-dependent experimental evidence. Due to a lack of experimental evidence, theoretical film growth models have largely ... -
X-ray diffraction studies on the Pb/Si(111) system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)This dissertation investigates the structure of the Pb wetting layer on the Si(111)7x7 using X-ray diffraction techniques. It was found that the wetting layer shows a surprising kinetic behavior within the structure over ... -
X-Ray scattering at the periphery : forbidden bragg reflections and silicon nanowire arrays
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)In this work, we developed two separate unconventional X-ray scattering techniques that enable us to extract novel information from distinct systems at disparate length scales. We examine the formation of Si nanowire (SiNW) ...
