Abstract

The experimental endstation of the hard X-ray beamline BL9 of the Dortmund Electron Accelerator is equipped with a Huber six-circle diffractometer. It is dedicated to grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity experiments on solid surfaces and thin films as well as to powder diffraction measurements. A new set-up for grazing-incidence X-ray scattering of liquids has been built up using a silicon mirror to reflect the incident X-ray to the liquid surface at angles of incidence around the critical angle of total reflection of the sample. X-ray reflectivity measurements of a polymer film and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction measurements of an epitaxically grown Gd40Y60 film, an oxidized surface of Fe-15at.%Al alloy and aqueous salt solutions are presented and discussed.
