| Abstract: | X-ray surface scattering is the most powerful probe of near-atomic-level structure at liquid-vapor and liquid-liquid interfaces. Synchrotron X-ray sources throughout the world have specialized instruments available for the study of these interfaces. Since 2002, the ChemMatCARS facility at Sector 15 of the Advanced Photon Source near Chicago, IL, USA, has assisted general users in the study of liquid surfaces and interfaces to model processes of interest to physical, chemical, and biological scientists. ChemMatCARS recently sponsored its third School for Liquid Surface X-ray Scattering (LSXS 2016), held at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory on May 12–13, 2016. Methods of data analysis were featured, providing students with the opportunity to fit data, analyze errors, and participate in virtual experiments. Techniques covered this year included X-ray reflectivity (XR), grazing incidence diffraction (GID), X-ray fluorescence near total reflection (XFNTR), and X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). This is the third year that the LSXS School has been held at APS, the first year being in 2007 and the second in 2012. |
