Description

The properties of soft-matter thin films (e.g. liquid films, polymer coatings, Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers) nowadays play an important role in materials science.

They are also very exciting with respect to fundamental questions: In thin films, liquids and polymers may be considered as trapped in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry.

This confined geometry is expected to alter the properties and structures of these materials considerably.

This volume is dedicated to the scattering of x-rays by soft-matter interfaces.

X-ray scattering under grazing angles is the only tool to investigating these materials on atomic and mesoscopic length scales.

A review of the field is presented with many examples.
