  • Nanoconfinement platform for nanostructure quantification via grazing-transmission X-ray scattering
    Patent number: 9557283
    Abstract: A nano-confinement platform that may allow improved quantification of the structural order of nanometer-scale systems. Sample-holder ‘chips’ are designed for the GTSAXS experimental geometry. The platform involves fabricated nanostructured sample holders on and in one or more corners of a substrate support where the sample material of interest is positioned at the corner of the substrate support. In an embodiment, the substrate material making up the substrate support beneath the sample-holding area is removed. A scattering x-ray sample platform includes a substrate support arranged in a parallelepiped form, having a substantially flat base and a substantially flat top surface, the top surface being substantially parallel with the base, the parallelepiped having a plurality of corners. At least one corner of the substrate support has a sample holding area formed in the top surface of the substrate support and within a predetermined distance from the corner.
