We report hard x-ray phase contrast imaging of black lipid membranes, freely suspended over a micromachined aperture in an aqueous solution. Biomolecular and organic substances can thus be probed in hydrated environments by parallel beam propagation imaging, using coherent...

Neutron supermirrors are increasingly important devices for transporting, bending, and focusing neutron beams. Reflected neutrons from a supermirror are divided into specular and off-specular (diffuse) components. Suppression of the diffuse component is important since it reduces the...

The effect of the incorporation of small amounts (~1 mole%) of amphiphilic solutes, such as cholesterol, a short-chain lipid (DC[sub 10] PC), and a bola lipid, into multilamellar DMPC bilayers is studied by small-angle neutron scattering and differential-scanning calorimetry. The anomalous...

The diffuse scattering of x rays by thin films limited by rough interfaces is presented theoretically in terms of height�height correlation functions. The method employed, analogous to the use of Green functions, allows a rigourous treatment down to grazing incidences. An expression for the...
- Surface scattering of x rays in thin films. Part II. Experiments on thin soap films. Daillant, J.; B�lorgey, O. // Journal of Chemical Physics;10/15/92, Vol. 97 Issue 8, p5837
The diffuse scattering of x rays by black-soap films has been investigated. The results were analyzed using a treatment of surface scattering developed in a companion paper. We show that the fluctuations of the surfaces limiting the film are correlated at wavelengths on the order of 100 nm. The...

The scattering of neutrons, x-rays, or light by a polydisperse system of particles is studied. As is well known, for fixed wave vector q the scattering intensity I(q) is a quadratic function of the scattering length density of the external medium. The minimum of the parabola is the minimal...

We discuss specular reflectivity and off-specular scattering of neutrons and X-rays from magnetic films. Both these techniques are capable of providing information about the morphology of the chemical and magnetic roughness and the magnetic domain structure. The use of neutrons with polarization...

We describe a new 17 T cryomagnet for neutron, x-ray or optical experiments with rapid in situ sample change. Sample temperatures are controllable from below 2 K to 300 K in vacuum. Alternatively a room temperature bore insert can be used for experiments at the field center under atmospheric...
