Using Grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISAXS) for thin-film analysis

Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) is an advanced characterization technique that provides detailed structural information about thin films and nanostructured surfaces.

This seminar will explore the fundamental principles of GISAXS, its unique capabilities, and its applications across various fields. GISAXS is particularly adept at analyzing surface and interface morphologies with high resolution, making it an indispensable tool for studying materials in areas such as nanotechnology, materials science, and polymer research.

Attendees will gain insights into how GISAXS can be employed to investigate the orientation, periodicity, and hierarchical structures of nanomaterials, as well as the self-assembly processes of block copolymers and thin film coatings. The seminar will also cover the latest advancements in laboratory GISAXS instrumentation.

Andreas Keilbach

Dr. Andreas Keilbach obtained his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Munich, with a focus in porous materials. After his PhD studies, he joined Anton Paar in April 2011 and is currently the global product manager for Small-Angle X-ray Scattering instrumentation at Anton Paar GmbH.

May Nyman, Terence Bradshaw Professor of Chemistry

Professor Nyman is a leader in the international polyoxometalate community, best known for establishing polyoxoniobate chemistry, for which she was awarded the 2023 F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry. Her aqueous metal-oxo cluster expertise spans much of the periodic table including f-elements and main group metals, in addition to transition metals. Professor Nyman moved from Sandia National Laboratories (NM) to Oregon State University in 2012 with one goal to expand and promote the use of X-rays towards understanding ion association, self-assembly and supramolecular assembly of inorganic ions in solution.
