Abstract
A chamber for in situ WAXS, SAXS and GISAXS studies of polycrystalline and amorphous materials was designed and constructed. It is used under vacuum o r filled with a gas mixture to operate as a reactor where a plasma for mate rials surface treatment is produced, The WAXS intensity is recorded by an e xternal imaging plate moving parallel to the chamber axis, making it possib le to obtain successive patterns during in situ studies of structural trans formations. The chamber is also used for classical SAXS and GISAXS studies of thin films. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
