X-ray Scattering Facility
Current Interests and Activities Include:
The CMU Department of Physics X-ray Scattering Facility hosts a wide
variety of work on the structure of materials. Materials range
from complex fluid wetting layers (surfactant solution films studied
near room temperature under hydrated conditions), to biologically
relevant lipid membranes (complex molecular systems studied in various
states of osmotic pressure and temperature), to new electronic
materials (thin semiconductor layers grown epitaxially on semiconductor
substrates). Instrument and technique development is also an active
area of research.
The facility is located
in Wean Hall room 6425 and is administered by Prof. R. M. Suter.
