Direct determination of one-dimensional interphase structures using normalized crystal truncation rod analysis

A one-dimensional non-iterative direct method was employed for normalized crystal truncation rod. The non-iterative approach, utilizing Kramers-Kronig relation, avoids the ambiguities due to the improper initial model or the incomplete convergence in the conventional iterative methods. The validity and limitation of the present method are demonstrated through both numerical simulations and experiments with Pt (111) in 0.1 M CsF aqueous solution. The present method is compared to conventional iterative phase-retrieval methods.

In situ and non situ surface x-ray scattering studies of in plane Cs+ ordering in Helmholtz planes of Pt(111) surface

In-plane ordering of Cs+ layers in Helmhotlz planes was studied on Pt(111) surface in 0.1 M CsF electrolyte solutions with synchtrotron surface x-ray scattering techniques. The ordering was measured in a new transmission cell, designed for in situ and non situ measurements and high-temperature sample annealing all in the cell without sample transfer steps. At -850 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, (2x2) in-plane scattering peaks were weak under in situ condition and grew rapidly under non situ condition as the surface emersed from the electrolyte. The models for the (2x2) structures are presented and differences between in situ and non situ conditions are discussed.
