The new Advanced Polymers PRT on Beamline X27C: The coverfigures are simultaneous 

small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering patterns of Poly(viny1idene fluoride) (PVDF) fiber 

collected during deformation at different strains (1ef:zero strain, right: 740% strain). From 

these patterns, it is seen that the application of strain not only transforms the PVDF crystal 

from an alphaform to a betu-form, but also induces microviods in the stretchedfiber. Thls 

study suggests a novel way to produce polymerfibers with nanoscale porosity. This work is 

funded by a NSF-COAL1 grant (DMR-9629825).

Beamline X20C: The figure at right is an example of silicide phase formation from the reaction 

of metals with silicon. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction is used to capture the formation 

sequence during rapid thermal annealing. A resistive heater encapsulated in pyrolytic boron 

nitride is used together with a linear position sensitive detector allowing for the required time 

resolution during annealing at ramp rates of up to 35" C/s. Notice that in the figure, as 

temperature is ramped from 400°C to above 1000°C, at least ten different diffraction peaks 

representing four distinct silicide phases are present in the ten degree two theta diffraction

NSLS Chairman 

During FY 1997 Rrookhaven National Laboratory 

iclcbrated it’s 50“’ Anniversary and 50 years ofoutstnnding 

~chievement under the management of Associated 

Universities. Inc. The National Synchrotron Light Source 

md its users’ research record are part of that history and, 

iippropriarely, since research with light from synchrotron 

rxiiation hiis matured, the scene was set for ;I major 

national review of the D.O.E. synchrotron radiation 

1’ rovision . 

In the sccond week of the I:iscal ll,.ir tlic chxgc

(hi rmanship of Dr. I<obcrt Birgeiicau \vith ii resounding

the llncxpcctcd w what would be the coIlscqlIcIlccs of the 

“The pnnel wns very impressed by the outstanding 

petfirmanre oj’the second generntion firilities (SSRL rind 

NSLS), by the number ojusers tbg, serve well, by their ability 

to renew and improve themselves, by their ability to continue 

cvtting-e4ye research even though the storage rings themselves 

lire not the moSt advanced, by their commitment to education, 

iziid by their crbilities to engizge new users and ciddress new 

problems. Given the outstiindiq trmk record and clear vision

,- I he path to :it least ;inother decade of outstanding 

research ut NSLS was clcrirly Inid out with appropriate 

fiinding recommendations which were accepted in full 

by the Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee 

(BESAC). 

In sddition to formal meetings and the collection 

ofstatistics, the review included ;i visit to NSLS at which 

stnff and users lid ;I well-used opportunity to convincc 

the pancl of the strength of our program. I3y the end of 

FY IO97 NSLS had welcomed its 7000“’ user. For each 

of the last five years more than 2200 users came to the 

light source: dmost 8OO new users in each year. ‘The 

strength ofthcir programs in term ofqualiry and qumtity 

WIS made clear in the presentations to the pancl and by 

the hct ofovcr 4000 public;itions in ;limost 250 different 

Journiils during the I O‘IOs :ilonc. As the bar chart shows, 

within almost constant totd numbers the NSLS user 

community is not static hut represents ;I thriving and 

evolving population. ’The pioneers of research with 

synchrotron radiation from the physical sciences continue 

in steady numbers but new communities in the biological 

and environmental sciences are growing rapidly with a 

four to five year doubling time. In FY 1997 one third of 

our users were under the ngc of 30 and less than one 

third were over 40. Although about one halfcome from 

US universities the whole ofthe national and international

An outstanding year was overshadowed by the unprecedented early termination of the Associated Universities 

contract to manage the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The details are well known and some of these are outlined 

later in this Activity Report (page 1-4) . On 1 March 1998 Brookhaven Science Associates will take responsibility for 

setting the standards for the second half century of research at Brookhaven. II

and have performed in an 

exemplary fashion throughout all reviews.The coming 

year will clearly be spent adjusting to new requirements 

and completing existing initiatives. 

The year started with an in-depth ESH Selfassessment. Our dedicated team of NSLS personnel 

studied key areas such as Training, ALARA, ESH 

communications, Quality Assurance and Conduct of 

Operations. A list of findings was developed and 

prioritized. Our formal report was made to the BNL 

Directorate and accepted. Some of the findings have been 

resolved, but we have a ways to go on others. Thc cffort 

is continuing, but has clearly been hampered by the 

intense involvement that we have had to have with issues 

which have arisen this year. In particular, we had to 

expend a huge amount of resources during the DOE 

mandated Integrated Safety Management Evaluation 

through the winter and spring. Many man-months of 

effort, largely directed by our ESH Coordinator Nicholas 

A negative report. At thc 

NSLS, wc fclt good 

about how we fired in thc evaluation and have already 

acted on correcting those legitimate wwkncsscs found 

du ri ng the review. 

As a rcsult of thc ISME report and thc canccllntion 

of thc AUI contract, all of BNI, turned its attcntion to 

ESH and managcmcnt issucs. Directly affccting thc NSI,S 

operations has been a revision of the work planning for 

expcrimcnts at BNI,. To our credit, we wcrc Inrgcly 

exempt from that process sincc it was clear that we alrcndy 

arc doing most ofwhat is rcquircd. In fkt, our review of 

the final standard developed shows that we have only had 

to formally designate Andrcw Ackcrman as our 

Expcrinicnt Rcview Coordinator and givc sonic 

committee responsibility to oiir existing ESH Committee 

to be fully compliant. That is a clcnr indication that tlic 

NSLS continues to be in thc forefront of ESH activity at 

BNL. 

Based on some of the rccotiinicndntions in the 

ISME report, wc dccidcd to modib our Safety Approval 

1-4 
Form for experiments to better capture the safety measures 

being taken by the experimenters and to document the 

work control procedures that are agreed to by the NSLS 

staff and the users. At the same time, we were directly 

involved in the new Chemical Management System 

(CMS) at BNL in which all chemicals used at BNL are 

being logged into a database. At the NSLS we have a 

specific problem because of the large number of materials 

brought here by users. If purchased at BNL, the materials 

are automatically entered into the system and bar coded. 

However, if brought in from outside the Lab, we have a 

problem as to how to capture them in the system and 

how to assure the proper disposal. Andrew Ackerman 

worked closely with the CMS staff and made 

arrangements to exclude small quantities if brought to, 

and subsequently removed from, BNL by the user. That 

agreement makes it efficient for the users. In order to 

track those materials, however, we also had to change our 

Safety Approval Form (SAF). 

A third issue recently arose which also impacted our 

redesign of the SAF. The DOE must receive certain data 

from the user facilities under its jurisdiction. Items such 

as user hours, institutional involvement, distribution of 

resources, etc. are necessary and must be reported. All 

facilities will uniformly report to DOE each year. At the 

NSLS, our best way to capture such information is 

through the SAF since every experiment must have one - 

whether it is performed on an NSLS or PRT beamline, 

or by General Users or PRT members. With all of these 

motivations, we worked rapidly this summer and 

produced the new, comprehensive and (we hope) more 

useful form for introduction on October 1, 1997. Our 

intent is to have a system in place by Spring of 1998 for 

electronic submissions of the SAF. That will make it very 

easy for users to submit the comprehensive information 

now required. 

In addition, many new efforts are underway which 

involve our safety staff. Upgrades at the Accelerator Test 

Facility and the Source Development Lab require new 

safety documentation. The shielding of the VUV Ring 

and the upgraded X-Ray Ring shielding on the beamlines 

to accommodate 2.8 GeV operations are well underway. 

The latter is requiring a lot of effort by the users and the 

NSLS staff. These efforts are being carried out and 

coordinated by Andrew Ackerman, John Aloi, Tom 

Dickinson and Nick Gmur with a lot of cooperation from 

our users and NSLS staff. 

The year has not been without problems. A worker 

at a BNL construction site was killed in an industrial 

accident. BNL was ordered to stand down for several 

days, during which the NSLS staff and users met to discuss 

the general topic of safety in the workplace. I am sure 

that this was a useful exercise based on the wide range of 

issues covered and discussed. However, the length of the 

stand down and its impact on the operations of the rings 

for users certainly detracted from its full value. 

At the NSLS we have had several reportable 

incidents due to safety issues at the facility. In evaluating 

these events, the general theme is one of lack of individual 

responsibility or attention to good work planning and 

execution. I should note that those are fundamentals of 

Work Smart Standards which will become pervasive 

within our operations over the next year. The incidents 

include the improper use of a coffee thermos as a cryogenic 

dewar (it exploded and slightly injured two workers), a 

piece of sheet metal improperly secured during shielding 

upgrade (it slipped and nearly severed the workers thumb) 

and untrained users etching material in a hood (the 

reaction was exothermic and filled the hood and part of 

the NSLS with acid fumes). Fortunately none of these 

incidents caused severe injury, but the potential was there 

in each case. 

The NSLS cannot be responsible for training and 

behavior before a person comes to the facility and we 

cannot police everyone all the time. Users and staff must 

realize that their safety and that of their co-workers depend 

on their own behavior, training, work planning and good 

execution. 

As the new year develops and the NSLS learns what 

measures it must take to continue to improve and be 

compliant with any new regulations and standards, the 

user community will be informed and will be participants 

with us. We must continue to improve our already 

outstanding safety program, but we must remain vigilant 

to ensure that whatever changes are made are in the best 

interests of, and efficient for, our user community.

USERS’ EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 

Joel D. Brock 

Cornell University 

UEC Chair 

The purpose of the Users’ Executive Committee 

(UEC) is to promote communication between the user 

community and the NSLS Administration. To this end. 

the UEC conducts an annual user meeting and three 

public town meetings each ycar. The annual meeting 

serves several functions: to celebrate the scientific and 

technical accomplishments of the previous year, to obtain 

the latest news on the support of the U.S. Department 

of Energy for scientific facilities in general and the NSLS 

in particular, and to provide an opportunity to visit with 

old friends and colleagues. Although this year’s annual 

mceting included six workshops and several invited 

scientific talks, the tone was dominated by the more 

political talks. The key-note address titled “Future 

Schlock by Robert Park was lively and humorous, poking 

fun at predictions about the future and those who make 

them. The Interim Director of BNL and President of 

AUI, Lyle Schwartz then made some short remarks. The 

U.S. Department of Energy was represented by the 

Associate Director of Energy Research for the Office of 

Basic Energy Sciences, Patricia M. Dehnier. In response 

to Robert Park and Lyle Schwartz, she began her remarks 

by assuring the audience that during all the upheaval 

associated with BNL‘s problems there has been one 

constant: “the high regard” for the NSLS, its users, and 

the quality of their science. 

The goal of the public town meetings is to provide 

a venue for discussions between users and to keep 

communication c h a n ne Is between the N S L S 

Administration and the users open. Typically, 

presentations by both the NSLS staff and the UEC on 

user issues are followed by opportunities for questions 

and discussion. On the day following the town meetings, 

the UEC meets with the NSLS and Brookhaven 

Laboratory staff and management to discuss relevant 

issues. The current membership of the UEC is listed in 

the caption of the accompanying photograph. Three 

general membcrs of the UEC are elected each year at the 

annual mecting and serve two year terms. Each Special 

Interest Group (SpIG) also elects (by an e-mail election) 

a representative. After the general election, the UEC elects 

one of its general members as Vice-Chair. The Vice-Chair 

is responsible for organi7ing tlic next annual meeting and 

then bcconies the Chair in thc following year. 

During the past year, although the UEC has dealt 

with a large number of important issucs, our focus was 

dctcrniincd by thc search for a new contractor to manage 

Brookhaven National 1,aboratory and by a review of all 

four of thc DOE supported synchrotron facilities. We 

attempted, unsucccssfitlly, to contribute input to thc 

Source Selection Board for use in the selection of a ncw 

contractor to manage Brookhaven National Laboratory. 

Copies of the lctters scnt by the UEC to the DOE’S BNL 

Source Selection Board can be found on my web page - 

h t tp : //MT\TV. m sc. cor ti el I. cdd - brock. 0 ti the o t hc r hand , 

on June 25th and 26th, the users did assist with 

presentations to a review panel appointed by tlic Basic 

Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC) and 

chaired by Professor Robcrt J. Birgcncau of M.I.T. which 

reviewed the scientific and technical programs of the 

NSLS. This panel was charged with reviewing all four of 

the DOE synchrotron facilities (tlic AIS at Berkeley, the 

SSRL at Stanford, the APS at Argonne and the NSLS at 

BNL) and making reconinicndations for fiiturc funding 

priorities. The panel was explicitly rcqiicsted to consider 

the ramifications ofclosing one or more ofthese facilities. 

Several of the staff and users of the NSLS were called on 

to discuss the impact synchrotron radiation has had on 

their particular field of science. It was a very impressive 

event to witness. In the short time available, leading 

experts from over a do7cn distinct scicntific fields 

presented the impact science done at the NSLS has had 

on their specific field. Although I havc spcnt a 

considerablc amount of time working on the NSLS XRay Ring floor, I got an education about the breadth of 

the work being done at the NSLS. Tlicsc talks covcrcd 

the LISLI~I areas associated with synchrotrons, materials 

science, si1 r face/ i n tc r face physics, niagnc t is m , I it hog rap h y, 

to ni o g ra p h y, p owd e r d i ffra c t i o ti, m a c ro ni o 1 cc ~i I a r 

crystallography, infrared soiirccs, imaging, and so on. But 

several other talks were given, such as the onc by Dr. 

Barbara IIIman (USDA, U. of Madison, and new UEC 

1-6 
member) on the applications of synchrotron radiation to 

forest science, which illustrated the enormous potential 

of synchrotron-based measurements to impact nontraditional synchrotron disciplines. The draft of the 

13iryneau panel's report (See http://www-als.lbl.gov/als/ 

besac/indcx.html) was released early this fall and was very 

fworable towards the NSLS. Patricia Dehmer responded 

co the report very quickly releasing additional funds to 

hire NSLS user support staffand to upgrade user facilities. 

Due to the increase in funding resulting from the BESAC 

panel report, the NSLS has asked the UEC for input on 

how to distribute the additional capital equipment and 

personnel support funds. Although no less difficult than 

othcr issues, this is a welcome departure from the far more 

frequent request to help determine where to trim. 

Looking ahead, now that a new contractor has been 

chosen to manage BNL, the UEC needs to forge a strong 

and positive working relationship with the new laboratory 

management. This will take some time and effort on 

both sides. 

1997 has been another year of very strong scientific 

output at the NSLS. A cursory look through the abstracts 

and publication lists in this Activity Report demonstrates 

the tremendous variety of high quality science being done 

at the NSLS. The users have come to expect excellent 

and continuously improving operations at the National 

Synchrotron Light Source. The NSLS staff have labored 

hard to ensure that the brightness, stability and reliability 

of the sources improved steadily over the years. Yet, it is 

the quality of the science performed by the users which 

ultimately determines the success or failure of the facility. 

I am quite optimistic that the NSLS will remain a vital 

facility long into the future.

Asbestos Abatement 

J. A. Hriljac, C. E lem, Q. Zhu, R. Sabatini, L. Petrakis (Brookhaven National 

Lab), R. Hu, an CY J. Block (W.R. Grace and Co.) 

The energy, technology, and environmental research 

activities which fall into the category of applied science 

sometimes directly address important problems facing 

society. Success in such projects can have an im'mediate 

positive impact on the public, and thus garner a 

considerable ;imount of favorable attention from the 

general population and press. 

A striking example was announced during the bll 

of 1997 in a press release issued by W.Ii Grace and Co. 

'The collaborative venturc between (;race and RNL 

resulted in the dcvclopmcnt of ;i polymer foam which 

can be :ipplicd to iisbcstos as part of an abritcment strategy. 

'The foam chemically attacks the risbestos crystal structure, 

leaving behind a residue of minerals which can continue 

to act as a fire retarder/insulator. 

One important aspect leading to the success of the 

\\I. R. Grace and Co./BNL CRADA (Cooperative 

Reasearch and Devlopement Agreement) on Asbestos 

Abatement was the ability to accurately and reliably 

determine the quantity of asbestos in treated materials. 

The current EPA-recommended method is fiber counting 

using Polarised Light Microscopy. However, at the low 

levels of asbestos that the Project Team was concerned 

with, this method was believed to be insufficiently 

;iccur;1te and alternatives were explored. 

Quantitative X-ray pvdcr diffraction (QXRPD) 

is a well-established tool for the analysis of mixturcs of 

crystalline powders. One type of QXRPD analysis is the 

so-called ratio method, where ;I known quantity of ;in 

internal standard is mixed with chc analytc and the 

intensities ofa pcak from chc phasc ofinrerest is compared 

with that of the addcd internal standard. An exact weight 

percent can then be detcrmincd by comparison to a 

calibration curve produced from carefully prepared 

standard samples. Work led by Dr Ruizhong Hu at W. 

R. Grace and Co. focussed on the use of this method

developed to quantify low levels of chrysotile absbestos 

in chrysotile/gypsum/vermiculite (CGV) mixtures, a 

typical asbestos-containing material. 

One potential drawback of this method is that it 

requires a pre-treatment to remove the gypsum in order 

to allow accurate quantification at very low (< 1 Yo) levels. 

Proof that this did not affect the asbestos fibers (and hence 

complicate the quantification procedure) was achieved, 

in part, through the use of synchrotron X-ray powder 

diffraction at beam line X7A. Further work at X7A by 

Joe Hriljac, Cahit Eylem (then both in DAS), and Qing 

Zhu (then in Physics) extended the use of QXRPD to 

allow quantification of low levels (0.25-0.5%) of asbestos 

in the same CGV mixtures without any pretreatmentL21. A plot of the diffraction data around the

NEXAFS Microscopy of Polymers: Phase Separation and 

Dewetting in Polymer Thin Films and Bilayers

In many applications, the physio-mechanical 

properties of polymeric systems can be tailored by altering 

the chemical and morphological structure. In most cases, 

the polymer system of interest is not a homogeneous or 

single-component system, but is a blend, composite, or 

copolymer. Sophisticated analytical methods are required 

for their characterization. Amongst them is the recently 

developed technique of Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine 

Structure (NEXAFS) microscopy. It has an advantage of 

about three orders of magnitude over the equivalent 

electron microscopy technique in being able to 

spectroscopically analyze and image small sample areas 

of radiation sensitive materials such as polymers[']. In 

NEXAFS microscopy, excitations of core electrons into 

unoccupied molecular orbitals provide sensitivity to a wide 

variety of chemical functionalities in polymers. This 

sensitivity complements and resembles that achieved in 

infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Although NEXAFS spectra 

are not as specific and "rich" as IR spectra, the spatial 

resolution achieved in NEXAFS microscopy is about 50 

nmL2a3I, and thus much superior to that achieved in IR 

microscopy. In addition, x-ray linear dichroism 

microscopy can determine orientation of chemical 

moieties at higher spatial resolution. These inherent 

advantages of x-ray microscopy have opened up new 

avenues for the characterization of polymers. 

We will exemplify the impact of NEXAFS 

microscopy to the analysis of polymer systems by focusing 

our discussion on the characterization of phase separation 

and dewetting in polymer thin films and thin bilayers. 

Compared to bulk properties, relatively little is known 

about the properties of polymer thin films and surfaces, 

even though polymer films have considerable 

technological significance and technological applications, 

such as coatings and dielectric films. A detailed 

understanding of thin film properties and possible 

deviations from bulk properties is highly desirable and 

numerous studies on blends and bilayers have been 

undertaken in the recent past. While a variety of patterns 

that evolve during the phase separation process in polymer 

thin films have been observed, the two dimensional 

composition has never been directly determined. Often 

indirect methods, such as the use of selective solvent 

extraction for one of the phases in conjunction with AFM 

microscopy is utilized. However, the dissolution process 

can lead to ambiguities or artifacts. While qualitative 

details of the subsurface morphology might be revealed 

with electron microscopy techniques, NEXAFS 

microscopy provides quantitative equivalent thickness 

maps of each constituent polymer, which if summed 

together yield total thickness maps equivalent to AFM 

topographs. NEXAFS microscopy will thus allow for

quantitative investigation of the composition of phases 

and the dynamics of polymer phase separation. 

We investigated films composed of a 50/50 weight 

percent blend of polystyrene (PS) and poly(niethy1 

methacrylate) (PMMA) spun cast onto silicon substrates 

to a thickness of I46 nm. The films wcrc then annealed 

for varying times and subsequently transferred to TEM 

grids for STXM investigation. A series of X-ray 

micrographs arc acquired in the same sample area at 

energies coinciding with characteristic NEXAFS peaks 

of the constitiient components. For cx;implc, Figures A2a, A-3a, and A-4a wcrc acquired at the C IS to n*

Figure A-6: 

PBrS near the carbon absorption edge. 

Linear absorption coefficient of PS and 

separation during the spincasting into small domains is 

observed. After 10 minutes of annealing, intricate 

filamentary structures and inclusions are observed, with 

the system evolving towards the formation of large and 

thick PS domains with a PMMA interconnection layer 

after one week of annealing. The phase separation process 

is primarily driven by minimization of the interfacial free 

energies. In order to differentiate the effects of the relative 

absorption of the individual polymers, we employ a 

singular value decomposition method to extract thickness 

maps of individual components. Figure A-5 shows the 

results of using this technique for the sample annealed 

for one week. Figure 5a is the projected thickness map of 

PMMA, Figure A-5b is the map for PS, and Figure A-5c 

is the sum of 5a and 5b, and provides the 

total thickness map. The thickness map is 

equivalent and consistent with AFM 

topographs of these samples. The NEXAFS 

micrographs provide insight into the 

structure of the polymer interface formed. 

A related issue to phase separation in 

thin films of polymer blends is the wetting 

and dewetting in thin polymer films. We have 

thus investigated a polystyrene/brominated 

polystyrene (PS/PBrS) bilayer model system 

with the Stony Brook STXM and employed 

the method described above to achieve 

quantitative thickness maps of PS and PBrS, 

respectively. The initial structure was a 30 

nm thick layer of PBrS on top of a 40 nm 

thick PS layer prepared by spin casting each 

film and then floating the PBrS layer on top 

of the PS layer. After annealing, which 

initiates dewetting, the sample was 

transferred to aTEM grid for STXM analysis. 

Images were acquired of the same sample area 

at four energies. Each image contains combined 

information about the PS and PBrS composition and 

thickness, with the weight governed by the linear 

absorption 'coefficient of the two polymers (Figure A-6. 

See inset for chemical structure of PS and PBrS). Figure 

A-7 shows the resulting component thickness maps and 

underlying thickness profiles. Polystyrene has formed 

thick walls along a network of spines of PBrS that form 

as PBrS dewets. There is only a pure PS interconnecting 

thin film between the spines. The total thickness map is 

consistent with AFM topographs. We attempt to measure 

the contact angle in these systems as an indirect 

measurement of the interfacial energies. The NEXAFS 

data clearly shows thought that a contact angle of the

filamentary structures as measured with the AFM is only 

indirectly related to the PBrS profiles and the AFM 

measures primarily the PS walls. The STXM data suggests 

furthermore that the PBrS is actually completely 

encapsulated by PS after annealing. This would be 

consistent with SIMS and Photoelectron Emission 

Microscopy (PEEM) data that indicate that there is no 

or little PBrS at the very surface of the sample. 

In both cases presented, NEXAFS microscopy 

provides new quantitative insight into the composition 

and morphology of the samples investigated, and we 

believe to be at the very beginning of NEXAFS 

microscopy making contributions to the science of 

polymer thin films. A variety of other applications are 

pursued by some of us and other researchers at beamline 

XIA. These include the characterization of dispersed 

phases in complex polyurethane polymers and the initial 

measurements of the partial miscibility of polycarbonate 

(PC) and poly(buty1ene terephthalate) (PBT) in PClPBT 

blends. NEXAFS microscopy is also making contributions 

to polymer materials that were prepared via the nonequilibrium processing technique of mechanical alloying. 

The morphology of blends produced in this way from 

polymers such as poly(ethylene tcrcphthallatc) (PET), 

Vectra (75/25 malo/, oxybcnzoatc/2,(,oxynapl~tl~oatc), 

ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and PMMA can he 

readily visualized due to the chemical sensitivity of 

NEXAFS microscopy. NEXAFS microscopy of polymers 

has matured as a technique and is now systematically 

applied to a wide variety of materials.

Microbeam Diffraction Studies of Interfacial Strain 

I.C. Noyan, J.L. Jordan-Sweet, E.G. Liniger, and S.K. Kaldor (IBM Research 

Division, Yorktown Heights, NY) 

Modern integrated circuits may have millions of 

transistors and a comparable number of passive circuit 

elements connected by submicron wide metal lines. The 

total length of these fine wires may exceed hundreds of 

meters. In general, this wiring is distributed over several 

levels, separated by dielectric material to prevent shorts. 

Millions of metal-filled holes (vias) provide the 

interconnections between these levels. To achieve (typical) 

failure rates below one chip per thousand, the on-chip 

structures must be built to very exacting specifications; a 

few atoms of a contaminant in the wrong place may cause 

failure. In addition, significant material problems must 

be solved, often at a basic level. 

The thermal expansion coefficient mismatch 

between different materials may cause stresses that can 

result in fractures in the wiring or in the passivation levels 

that insulate them. In addition, the tremendous current 

densities seen by the fine metal wires (in excess of IO6 

amps/cm2) may result in electromigration, where the 

electron flux knocks atoms from the wiring lattice and 

sweeps them along, causing voids at the cathode end. The 

displaced atoms aggregate close to the anode end of the 

wire (which is terminated by a via with different 

metallurgy) and cause very large compressive stresses that 

can actually rupture the passivation. The basic design 

principles that are used to overcome these problems are 

based on continuum mechanics with corraborating data 

from large specimens. These formulations may not be 

appropriate for the small domains encountered in 

microelectronic devices; in some cases the material is too 

close to an edge such that edge effects

Figure A-8: Contour plot of the variation of Si (004) reflection 

intensity with position on a 2x2 mm area section of the sample. 

The circular area in the middle corresponds to the intensity 

increase observed as the microbeam traversed over one AI 

dot. The edge of the neighboring dot is seen in the tower 

right-hand corner. The data was acquired by step-scanning 

(with 50 micron steps along both axes, 1600 points) and 

counting for 60,000 monitor counts (about 5 seconds) at each 

position. The data were then normalized to yield diffracted 

counts per monitor count (cpmon) and processed to form equiintenisty contours. 

dominate and, in other cases, there simply 

are not enough atoms around to yield a 

continuum. Microdiffraction is used to 

obtain the basic boundary conditions to 

develop the deformation mechanics of small 

domains and, in addition, to yield structure 

and phase information. 

The first monochromatic x-ray 

microbeam diffraction experiments at 

Beamline X20A have been made by IBM 

scientists in Fall 1997. For this purpose a 

dedicated endstation which had been under 

construction during 1997 at Beamline X20B 

was used. This system is based on a twocircle Huber Goniometer and it uses tapered 

capillary optics for focussing the beam, 

micrometer precision sample-stages for 

specimen positioning, and energy-dispersive, 

linear and/or single channel detectors. 

Beam sizes ranging from 2 to 25 microns 

have been used to characterize the 

orientation and strain distribution on a 

variety of thin-film samples. In this first set 

of experiments, the applicability of 

continuum equations (which are based on 

global averages or large homogeneous 

volumes) to domains containing limited 

volumes of material was investigated. 

One case in particular is the interfacial 

strain state of patterned thin Al films on 

2-7 
single-crystal Si wafersl’l. In this experiment an array of 

I mm-diameter, 850nm-thick AI dots evaporated on a 00 1 

Si substrate was examined. A micro-beam topograph of 

the Si 004 reflection was constructed by mapping the 

integrated intensity as a function of position on the wafer. 

An example is shown in Figure A-8. The intensity 

contours corresponding to the region under the AI dot 

are 2x higher than the intensity from the bare Si substrate. 

This intensity enhancement is due to the transition from 

dynamical to kinematic scattering since the thermal 

stresses between AI and Si distort the Si under the thin 

film featiircsIZ,31. A high-resolution scan of the Si 004

The Structure of the GroEL/GroES/ADP Complex 

Z. Xu, A. Horwich and P. Sigler (Yale University) 

The structure of the molecular chaperone GroEL 

in complex with a partner assembly GroES in the presence 

of bound ADP, was determined to a resolution of 3.0 a 

using x-ray diffraction data collected at beamline X25 by 

Z. Xu, A. Horwich, and I? Sigler of Yale U. and the 

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)['I. The 

GroEL/GroES complex facilitates the folding of other 

proteins, and how this is accomplished is an important 

problem in modern biology. GroEL consists of two backto-back 7-fold rotationally symmetric rings, that enclose 

two large, non-contiguous central cavities in which an 

unfolded protein can be bound. GroES consists of a single 

7-fold rotationally symmetric ring, with mobile loops 

extending from its rim. In the presence of the nucleotide 

ATC GroEL and GroES interact via these loops to form 

diffraction data show that the overall structure of this 

complex undergoes a substantial change upon the binding 

of the nucleotide, arising from movements of the domain 

components of one of the GroEL rings (Figure B- 1). This 

creates an enlarged cavity from which the bound protein 

can be released, upon dissociation of the GroES ring from 

the GroEL. The diffraction data also provide insight to 

the binding of the nucleotide to the complex. The crystals 

of this complex have a very large unit cell and diffract xrays very weakly and anisotropically, and moreover are 

relatively small. Access to the high beam intensity ofX25 

was mandatory in order to determine its structure to such 

high resolution.

Mitochondrial bcl complex from

subunits, two b- type hcmcs, otic c-type

molecular weight of 250 Kd. The hcl 

complcx from bovine heart was purified 

2-10 
and crystallized, and bcl complex crystals can be cry0 

frozen for stable data collection; they possess the symmetry 

of space group I4122 with cell dimensions of a=b=153.7 

A and c=597.5 A. Synchrotron radiation sources was a 

critical factor in the successful structure determination. 

The use of beam time at beamline X12B of NSLS allowed 

data collection of both native and heavy atom derivatives 

in a relatively short period of time, a task that would have 

been impossible with a conventional x-ray source; the 

tunability of the x-ray wavelength at X4A enabled us to 

quickly and convincingly identify positions of iron atoms 

that are associated with redox-active prosthetic groups in 

the bcl complex, and detect movement of the Rieske Iron 

Sulfur Protein (ISP); the high-flux x-ray beam at X25 

permitted collection of a complete native data set to 2.7 

8, resolution, making the refinement of bcl structure 

possible. 

The structure of bcl was determined 

using MIRAS method with seven heavy 

metal derivatives. The current atomic model 

of the bcl complex contains eight subunits 

completely sequence assigned, including 

corel, core2, cytochrome b, Rieske ISP, 

subunits 6, 7, 10 and 11; three subunits 

partially sequence assigned, including 

cytochrome cl, subunits 8 and 9; and four 

prosthetic groups which include two b-type 

hemes, one C-type heme and a 2Fe-2S cluster 

with a total number of amino acids residues 

in the model near 2000. 

The bcl complex forms a dimer in the 

crystal, and is 155 A tall and 130 A wide 

(Figure B-2). The whole complex can be 

divided into three regions: The membranespanning region is about 42 A thick with 

26 trans-membrane helices for the dimer; 

the cytochrome b dimer contributes 16 

helices, cytochrome cl, the Rieske ISP, 

subunits 7,10, and 11 account for the other 

five pairs of helices, respectively; projecting 

38 A into the inter-membrane space are the 

water soluble parts of the Rieske ISP and 

cytochrome cl, as well as subunit 8; the 

matrix region of the bcl complex protrudes 

75 A into the mitochondrial matrix space 

and consists primarily of corel, core2 and 

subunits 6 and 9. 

Taking advantage of the anomalous scattering 

property of iron atoms in the bcl complex, we were able 

to determine the positions of and distances between these 

iron atoms in the bcl complex (Figure B-3), and to 

postulate possible routes for electron transfer within the 

bcl complex. More importantly, by combining 

anomalous diffraction experiments with specific inhibitor 

binding studies, we were able to detect very large 

conformational changes of the Rieske ISP upon binding 

of certain classes of inhibitors. These findings indicate a 

new mechanism for electron transfer from one subunit 

to another within the bcl complex.

Structural Lyme-ology 

C. L. Lawson, H. Li, M. Becker, and W. Ding (BNL Biology Department) 

The crystal structure of an antigenic protein from 

the outer surface of the Lyme disease bacterium has been 

determined by x-ray diffraction methods. OspA (outer 

surface protein A) is an abundant immunogenic 

lipoprotein of the Lynie disease spirochete Borrelia 

burgdorferi that is being developed as a vaccine to protect 

humans from being infected aftcr a tick bite. Making 

use of data from beam lines X12C, X12B, and X25, tlie 

crystal structure of a recombinant form of OspA was 

solved in a complex with thc Fab fragment of a mouse 

monoclonal antibody, and was refined to a resolution of 

1.9 AI’’. OspA is formed from a large 

antiparallel beta-sheet, with an LII~LISLI~~ 

nonglobular region of “freestanding” 

sheet connecting globular N- and Cterminal domains (Figure B-4). 

Another unusual feature of tlie folding 

pattern in the nonglobular region is 

arrays of residues with alternating 

charges. A hydrophobic cavity buried 

in a positively charged cleft in the Cterminal domain is a potential binding 

site for an unl<nown ligand. The 

binding region of this antibody is 

biologically interesting because it 

overlaps with a well conserved surface 

in the N-terminal domain that is not 

accessible on the spirochete. This 

suggests that OspA interacts with other 

membrane proteins. The other end of 

OspA, the C-terminal domain, is what 

is exposed in the spirochete, and this, 

the re fo re, is the i m m 11 no log i ca I I y 

interesting part. Recently, native and 

tungstate-derivative MAD data have 

been collected at X12C and X25 on

The Structure of the Human Natural Killer Cell Inhibitory 

Receptor 

Q. Fan, L. Mosyak, and D.C. Wiley (Harvard University) 

Natural killer (NK) cells lyse abnormal cells 

deficient in class I major histocompatibility complex 

(MHC) expression. Killer cell inhibitory receptors 

(KIR) on human NK cells prevent the lysis of target cells 

bearing specific class I MHC molecules. The x-ray 

structure of a p58 KIR (p58-cl42) was determined at 

I .7 A resolution using the multiwavelength anomalous 

diffraction (MAD) method. MAD data of a single 

selenomethionyl p58-cl42 crystal were collected to 2.2A 

with a 300 mm diameter MAR Research image-plate 

system on the X25 beamline of the NSLS. Based on the 

x-ray absorption spectrum of the Se-Met p58-cl42 crystal, 

three wavelengths for data collection were chosen, which 

included one wavelength at the absorption peak (0.979 1 

A), one at the inflection point (0.9794 A), and a third at 

a remote high energy point (0.9639 A). A native data set 

was collected to 1.7 A on F-1 beamline at CHESS. MAD 

phasing was treated as a case of multiple isomorphous 

replacement. The initial MAD map was improved by 

density modification. A model of p58-cl42 KIR was 

traced from both the density modified and unmodified 

electron density map. The atomic model has been refined 

against the native data set at 1.7 A resolution to a 

crystallographic R-value of 20.6% (R,,, = 25.4%). 

The p58-cl42 KIR structure has tandem 

immunoglobulin-like domains positioned at an acute, 60 

degree angle (Figure B-5). Loops on the outside of the 

elbow between the domains form a binding site 

projected away from the NK cell surface. The topology 

of the domains and their arrangement relative to each 

other reveals a relationship to the hematopoietic receptor 

family. We propose, by analogy to the hematopoietic 

receptors, that signalling by KIR may involve receptor 

dimerization.

of the lambda integrasc family, carries out site-specific 

recombination between 34-base pair DNA scqiicnces

(no other proteins or DNA scquences are rcquircd) has

they formed and crystallizcd a 200

used to con d iic t a m til t i wiivclc ngth 
anomalous diffraction (MAD) experiment using 

selenomethionine-containing Cre recombinase at the Se 

absorption edge. The anomalous scattering contribution 

from 22 selenium atoms in the crystallographic 

asymmetric unit was crucial in obtaining crystallographic 

phases to interpret the structure. 

The Cre-DNA intermediate structure is shown in 

Figure B-7. Four recombinase molecules (green and 

purple ribbons) form a pseudo-fourfold symmetric 

tetramer that is held together by a network of proteinprotein interactions. The cleaved loxP sites (gold ribbons) 

have been bent by about 90’ and adopt a nearly square 

planar configuration. The green recombinase molecules 

have cleaved the loxP site and formed phosphotyrosine 

bonds to the DNA. The purple recombinase molecules 

have not cleaved the DNA substrates and one of the 

interesting questions addressed by this structure involves 

understanding how the recombinase tetramer coordinates 

the cleavage reactions. The free ends of the cleaved DNA 

strands have been pushed towards the center of the 

synaptic complex, in what appears to be the start of the 

strand transfer process. The Cre-DNA synaptic 

intermediate structure has provided the first threedimensional framework for understanding many aspects 

of the lambda integrase family site-specific recombination 

reaction and has both supported a number of recent 

proposals about how the reaction occurs and has provided 

a fresh view of other aspects. The structural model also 

promises to serve as an important starting point for the 

design of improved recombinases and substrates for use 

in genetic engineering applications.

Crystal Structure of the P4-P6 Domain from a Group 

Ribozyme Reveals Principles of RNA Packing 

J. Cate and J. Doudna (Yale University) 

The discovery that RNA can function as a biological 

catalyst, or ribozymc, has raiscd important qucstions 

about the chemistry and evolution of enzymes. Several 

classes of ribozymes have been identified and 

charactcrizcd, but until recently thcrc was little 

information about the structure of RNA. The scqiienccs 

of most families of rihozymcs consist of a conwvcd series 

of short base-paircd stems (helices) connccted by “loop” 

regions. Biochemical experiments suggcstcd that thc 

helices of largc RNA molcculcs often pack into globular 

structures with solvent -i nacccssihle cores, much I i ke 

proteins. 

Group I self-splicing introns, the first class of 

ribozymes discovcrcd, havc thc rcniarkablc ability to cxcisc 

themselves from precursor transcripts without the aid of 

any protein. The structure of the RNA holds the key to 

understanding thc sel f-sp I i c i ti g m cch a ti ism as we1 I as 

evolutionary rclationships among ribozymcs. The group 

I intron from Tetrahymena thermophila has been well 

characterized biochemically, rcvcaling the ribozymc to bc 

comprised of two structural domains. Thc domains can 

be synthesized separatcly and asscniblcd in trans to 

produce active ribozymes. The 1 GO-nucleotide P4-PG 

domain, containing half of thc rcsiducs of the catalytic 

core, is an independently folding structural unit. 

Following the development of techniques for RNA 

crystallization, crystals ofthc P4-PG domain were obtained 

that diffracted X-rays to better than 2.8 A resolution. 

The solution of thc P4-Pb crystal structurc was 

achicvcd through an insightful obscrvation by Jamie Catc, 

thcn a graduatc studcnt working on thc projcct at Yale. 

Jamie noticed that P4-PG crystals grew best in the presence 

of tiny amounts of cobalt hcxamminc, a small molcculc 

that mimics the geometry of a fiilly hydrated magnesiuni 

ion. Since dramatic effects on crystal growth were seen 

with stoichionictric amounts of hcxamminc to RNA, 

Jamie reasoned that there might be just a few specific 

hexammine binding sites present in the RNA. To takc 

advantage of such potential sitcs for making hcavy atom 

dcrivativcs, Jamie obtaincd from Prof. Hcnry Taubc at 

Stanford a sample of osmium hexammine, and he soaked 

this compound into the P4-PG crystals. An anomalous 

differcncc Pattcrso ti map calcula tcd using di ffrac tio ti 

intensities measured on a laboratory x-ray source showed 

several strong peaks whose positions could hc refined and 

cross-checked. The osmium derivative w;is uscd to solvc

Figure B-8: 2.8 A crystal structure of the 160- 

nucleotide P4-P6 of the Tetrahymena self-splicing 

ribizome. Helices of the conserved catalytic core, in 

blue and red, pack against helices of an extended 

region. Tertiary contacts occur between an A-rich 

corkscrew motif (orange) and the P4 helix (blue), and 

between a tetraloop (gold) and its receptor (green). 

2-16 
The 2.8 A crystal structure of the P4-P6 domain is 

the first crystal structure of an RNA molecule large enough 

to show side-by-side packing of helices. Such packing is 

thought to be necessary to form stable active sites as found 

in self-splicing introns, Ribonuclease the ribosome and 

the spliceosome. In the domain, a sharp bend allows 

stacked helices of the conserved core to pack against helices 

of an adjacent region. Two specific long-range interactions 

clamp the two halves of the domain together: a 

magnesium-coordinated adenosine-rich corkscrew plugs 

into the minor groove of a helix, and a GAAA hairpin 

loop binds to a conserved 1 1-nucleotide internal loop. 

Metal- and ribose-mediated backbone contacts further 

stabilize the close helical packing, giving rise to a solventinaccessible interior. 

One interesting feature of the P4-PG structure is 

the discovery of an unexpected new motif that mediates 

both intra- and intermolecular interactions. At three 

separate locations in the P4-Pb molecule, adjacent 

adenosines in the sequence lie side-by-side, stacking 

simultaneously on both sides of the helix. This creates 

an adenosine platform, opening the minor groove for 

stacking or base-pairing with nucleotides from a distal 

RNA strand. This motif explains in part the 

preponderance of adenosines in internal loops of many 

RNAs. 

Most of the contacts that stabilize internal P4-P6 

domain structure as well as the packing of arrays of 

molecules in the crystal lattice involve the minor groove. 

The wide and shallow minor grooves of A-form helices 

are generally more accessible than the deep major grooves. 

However, non-canonical base pairings, loops and bulges 

in RNA can perturb the geometry of a helix, affecting 

the shape and electrostatic potential in localized regions. 

Indeed, local perturbations at tandem G-U “wobble” base 

pairs in the P4-P6 RNA give rise to specific metal binding 

pockets in the major groove: the hexammine binding sites 

used in the structure determination. In two cases these 

sites are occupied by fully-hydrated magnesium ions in 

the native structure. The binding sites expand the known 

repertoire of ligand binding motifs in RNA and may 

provide a general means of derivatizing appropriately 

designed RNAs for x-ray crystallographic analysis. 

Phylogenetic sequence comparisons show that one class 

of these motifs occurs frequently in ribosomal RNAs, 

suggesting a possible mechanism for metal binding in 

the ribosome.

The Structure of a Component of the AIDS Virus: 

the Carboxyl-Terminal Dimerization Domain of the H IV-1 

Capsid Protein 

T. R. Gamble, S. Yoo, F.F. Vajdos, U.K. von Schwedler, D.K. Worth lake, H. 

Wang, .P. McCutcheon, W.I. Sundquist, C.P. Hill (University of Uta K ) 

As reported recently"] we have solved the x-ray 

crystal structure of the C- ter m i ti al d i ni cri za t i o n do ni a i n 

of the capsid protein from the human immunodeficiency 

virus type 1 (HIV-1). The 26-kD capsid protein (CA) of 

HIV-1 results from the action of the well-known HIV 

protease: as the virus buds, a 55-kD polyprotein called 

Gag is processed by the viral protease to produce three 

discrete new proteins - one, called matrix, that binds to 

the viral membrane, the capsid protein which forms the 

conical viral core structure, and a third called nucleocapsid 

that helps to organize the viral RNA - as well as several 

smaller peptides. These arc the major structural proteins 

of HIV, with -2, 000 copies of each protein present in a 

single viral particle. 

CA performs several essential roles during the HIV 

life-cycle. Most importantly, CA forms the conical core 

structure that surrounds the viral genome at the center of 

the mature virus. Genetic analyses indicate that Capsid 

also functions during assembly of new virus particles and 

as the virus enters a new host cell. Our study focused on 

the COOH-terminal domain of Capsid, residues 146- 

231 (CA146-231). This domain contains a strctch of20 

ami no acid5, termed the M H R (m ajor ho niology region), 

that is found in all known onco- and Icntiviruscs, and in 

the yeast retrotransposon Ty-3. As one might expect, 

this highly conserved sequence is essential for viral 

replication, although its precise functions remain iinclcnr. 

Another feature of special interest is the role of CA146- 

231 in mediating Capsid dimerization; this domain 

dimersi7cs with the same affinity a5 the fiill length protein. 

Capsid dimerization is essential for core formation and 

infectivity, and the assenihly of infcctioris viral particles. 

In an effort to understand thc structural basis for 

Capsid dimerization and MHR conscrvntion, we 

de term i ned the crystal s truc t ti res of reco m hi tin tit 

sclenoniethionine-suhstituted CAI 5 1-23 1 at 1.8 A.

the dimer in vivo are shown as stick models near the center of the figure. 

2-18 
crystal-structure analysis were taken at NSLS beamline 

X12C. The structure was solved by the multiwavelength 

anomalous diffraction method (MAD), based on 

scattering from Se atoms that had been introduced to the 

protein in methionine residues. The structure 

determination was relatively rapid, with an electrondensity map produced and an essentially complete model 

built only 54 hours after data-collection began. Residues 

15 1-2 19 of CAI 5 1-23 1 formed a well ordered globular 

domain in this structure. The standard crystallographic 

R-value is 22.9% and the free R-value (used for cross 

validation of the result) is 27.4% at the end of the 

refinement of the structure of CAI 5 1-23 1. Once the 

CA151-231 structure was known, it was used to 

determine the CA146-231 structure by the method of 

molecular replacement. 

The CA146-23 1 and CA15 1-23 1 structures are very 

similar, with each molecule composed of an extended 

strand followed by four a-helices. Figure B-9 shows the 

structure of the biologically relevant CA146-23 1 dimer 

that is formed in the crystals. In this figure, the MHR is 

composed of the helix shown at the lower left (or upper 

right) and the strand that lies behind it in the figure. 

The role of the most highly conserved MHR residues is 

to form a hydrogen-bonding network that stabilizes this 

structure and links it to the helix that is seen end-on near 

the center of the dimer. The structure therefore explains 

the observation that certain “conservative” mutations in 

the MHR, for example Gln to Asn or Glu to Asp, block 

HIV-1 replication; even mutational changes as small as 

the deletion of a single carbon atom appear to disrupt 

the hydrogen-bonding network within the MHR. 

A series of four conserved hydrophobic residues also are 

essential for MHR function; they lie on one surface of 

this helix and contribute to the hydrophobic core of the 

protein. Thus, all of the conserved MHR residues perform 

critical structural roles. Although most of the Gag 

polyprotein is quite variable among other viruses, the 

remarkable conservation of this 20-residue segment 

suggests that the MHR structure mediates an essential 

interaction with a highly conserved binding partner, such 

as a cellular factor or an invariant segment of a viral 

protein. 

CA146-23 1 possesses almost identical dimerization 

affinity as the full length CA protein. The dimer interface 

is created by the parallel packing of two helices, to create 

a hydrophobic core. It is notable that the dimer interface 

and MHR are distinct non-overlapping structures. Sitedirected mutagenesis was used to confirm that the dimer 

seen in the CA146-231 crystal is also the dimer interface 

of full-length capsid protein in solution. Two interface 

residues, Trp184 and Met185 (see Figure B-9), were 

mutated to Ala in the intact CA. In neither case would 

the mutant protein form dimers in solution, thereby 

indicating that the crystallographic structure is indeed 

the authentic dimer. One of these mutations allowed 

the formation of viral particles in cell cultures, although 

the particles produced were not infectious. This indicates 

that the crystallographic dimer is an essential interaction 

in the assembly and maturation of viral particles, and 

provides another possible target for the design of drugs 

to treat AIDS.

Ce Metal Foil and Single Crystal CeO, Films 

Ce metal oxidizes readily and must be stored in an 

inert gas environment in order to prevent total oxidation 

to CeO,. A oxygen free surface can be prepared in UHV 

and then the degree of oxidation can be varied by 

controlling the oxygen exposure. Various techniques can 

be used to monitor the Ce oxidation state. These methods 

include Ce 4d and valence band 

photoemission (XPS) and x-ray 

absorption spectroscopy (US) at 

the 0 1s absorption edge.r31 These 

experiments have been performed 

on beamline X1B. 

At room temperature low 

exposures of 0, (< 10 L) produce 

Ce(II1) oxide. This layer is fairly 

stable and inhibits the uptake of 

additional oxygen. Large exposures 

of 0, (e 1000 L) are needed to 

produce Ce(1V) oxide. Figure C-1 

(light bars) shows the relative 

amount of Ce+3 and Ce+4 as a 

function of temperature. The Ce foil 

is the most oxidized at 300 K. The 

Ce(1V) oxide layer is themally 

unstable due to oxygen diffusion 

and oxidation of the underlying Ce'. 

The results indicate that oxygen 

transport through the Ce substrate 

is the limiting factor in the oxidation 

of the Ce bulk. The process is shown 

schematically in Figure C-2a. 

The reducibility of fully 

oxidized CeO, was studied by 

examining single crystal CeO, films. 

These films were very difficult to 

reduce showing little evidence of 

Ce+3 even after exposure to > 1000 

L of H, or CO at temperatures up 

to 800 K. These films could only 

be reduced in UHV by sputtering

Dynamic Effects in Core Excitation of Small Molecules 

B. Kempgens, A. Kivimaki, M.N. Piancastelli, K. Maier, H.M. KO pe, M. Neeb, 

U. Hergenhahn, and A. M. Bradshaw (Fritz-Haber-lnstitut, Ber P in) 

The high resolution capability ofXl B has continued 

to give new insights into dynamic effects in core excitation 

of small molecules. As reported last year, excitation of 

the antisymmetric stretching mode by vibronic coupling 

was observed in the 0 Is photoelectron spectrum in 

CO, [l]. A consequence of this effect is that the core hole 

dynamically localizes on one of the 0 atoms; the same 

phenomenon has been recently observed in the 

photoabsorption spectrum of hydrocarbon molecules 

containing equivalent C atomd21. In the photoelectron 

spectrum of the ethane molecule (C,H,) the intrinsic C 

1s bonding-antibonding splitting of ca. 105 meV has been 

established for the first New measurements of the 

vibrational fine structure of the C 1 s and 0 1 s main lines 

have been made in CO, as shown in Figure C-4. From 

an analysis of the Franck-Condon factors, the bond 

lengths of 1.079 A and 1.167 can be determined for 

the C 1s and 0 1s core-ionized states. This shortening 

and lengthening of the bond with respect to the ground 

state can be understood from the slightly antibonding 

and slightly bonding nature, respectively, of the C Is and 

0 1s core states in COC4]. In another study, measurements 

of the photoelectron spectra above the C 1s threshold in 

the series C,H,, C,H4, and C,H, have called into 

question the existence of shape resonances in the C 1s 

photoionization of these molecule^'^'. Shape resonances 

can be understood as enhancements of the 

photoionization cross section by angular momentum 

transfer to the photoelectron caused by its scattering on 

the molecular core. This pictures implies that they are

due to a single-particle phenomenon and should 

be visible in the single hole photoionization cross 

section. The C2H, photoelectron spectrum in 

Figure C-5a depicts the C2H2 C Is main line and 

its most prominent satellites, SI and SO, pertaining 

to the triplet and singlet states, respectively, due to 

the valence 1 (n)u-to-I (n)* shake-up 

accompanying the C 1s photoionization. By 

analyzing a series of these spectra taken at photon 

energies over the presumed shape resonance 

position, it is shown that the cross-section of SO is 

enhanced at a few eV above its threshold. The 

same is true for several other satellites, partly due 

to conjugate shake-up processes which involve the 

dipole excitation of the C 1s electron and the 

monopole ionization of a valence electron. Such 

an enhancement results in the peak around 310 

eV in the photoabsorption cross-section in Figure 

C-5b. In contrast to that in the C 1s 

photoionization main line, no clear enhancement, 

as would be expected from a shape resonance, is 

observable. A similar phenomenon leads to a 

shoulder in the C Is photoabsorption cross-section 

of C,H4, which was also previously interpreted as 

a shape resonance by other researchers. This study 

raises the question as to whether there exists a 

simple linear correlation between shape resonance 

position and bond length, as has been proposed 

earlier both in gas phase spectroscopy and surface 

science.

Monochromatic X-Ray Diffraction and Time-Resolved 

Measurements at High Pressure and Temperature 

J. Chen (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Crystal structure refinements require accurate 

diffraction intensities. A monochromatic x-ray diffraction 

has many advantages over an energy dispersive diffraction 

for the accurate intensity measurements. Traditionally, 

high pressure in situ x-ray diffraction with a large-volume 

press was carried out in the energy dispersive mode 

(EDXD) because of the apparatus geometry. The pioneer 

attempt to acquire monochromatic x-ray diffraction with 

a large-volume press was made at the Photon Factory['z2J, 

however, the diffraction from sample surrounding 

materials remained as a problem for applying imaging 

plate (IP) detectors to the press. At beamline X17B1, we 

have developed a translating imaging plate system 

interfaced with large-volume press SAM85[31, and 

designed a new high pressure cell coupled with a 

subtraction data processing[*]. These developments first 

time allow us to perform time-resolved structure 

refinements at high pressure and 

A experimental setup is schematically shown in 

Figure G-1. The imaging plates are mounted in a 

specially designed holder held on an optical rail. This 

can be tilted vertically and horizontally to the incident xray direction. The stage is movable along the incident xray direction to change the sample-to-IP distance (400 - 

870 mm) and along the axis perpendicular to the incident 

x-ray beam for translating the IP during exposure. The 

holder can be easily taken off from the guide block to 

allow the goniometer arm to move down for EDXD 

measurements. A vacuum ensure two plates, either 200 

mm x 250 mm or 200 x 400 mm size, are kept flat to the 

holder during exposure. When the imaging plate is used 

to record the diffraction pattern, the goniometer arm is 

rotated up to +35O. In the time-resolved measurements, 

a lead screen with avertical slit in the middle is introduced 

in the front of the imaging plate to define the dimension 

of exposure on the detector. Width of the slit is adjusted

depending on thc beam intensity, IP-to-sample distance 

and the transporting specd of the imaging plate. A direct 

beam stop is mounted on the slit. The heani stop blocks 

most of the intensity of the direct beam, and allows the 

direct beam to expose the imaging plate with the same 

intensity as a diffracted beam. 

The olivine-spinel transformation mechanism in 

fayalitc was studied by the time-resolved diffraction 

measurements. The experiment was carried out by 

compressing the sample at room temperature into the 

spinel stability ficld (6.9 GPa) and then heating up the 

sample. The sample transformed from olivine to spinel 

during the heating. A time-resolved pattern was recorded 

when the tcmpcraturc incrcascd from 300°C to 400°C. 

The transporting spccd of the imaging plate was ~.25mni/ 

min. The hcating rate was 1.75 OC/min. Figure G-2 

shows the diffraction pattern taken with an 8 mm front 

slit and 0.2 mm x 0.2 mm incident x-ray 

beam. he photon energy of the x-ray was 

4 1.12 kcV and the sample-to-IP distance 

was 8 12.6 mm. In Figure G-2, tlic sample 

started with olivine phase (on the Icft) and 

ended up with spinel phase (on the right). 

Indices on the two sides of tlie pattern 

indicate major diffraction peallts of olivine 

and spinel phases respectively. Most of the 

intensity of the incident beam was bloclltcd 

by a Icad stop, with a thickness about 2 

mm, behind the sample; thc rcst of thc 

intensity made a direct beam marlltcr on 

the top tlie imaging plate. Sonic high

It is observed that the spinel phase started

completely transformed into spinel at

the slit width, there is 52 mm on the 

imaging plate where the two p1i;iscs cocxist.

Figure G-3 shows results of the scqiicncc 

structiirc refincnicnts. The emphasis of the 

refinements focused on the atomic occupincy in tlic spinel 

structure. All the occupancy parameters for Fc, Si and 0 

were initially free for fitting. The refinements all rcsultcd 

in the occupancy parameter for 0 close to I. We therefore 

fixed the 0 occupancy to I for fitrthcr refincnicnts. The 

results showed that the occupnncy parameters F,i and F,< 

for Si and Fc are only 7990 and 82% when tlic spinel 

phase is first recognized as amount of2Wh ofthe mixture

reported by Furnish and Bassett['l 

from their observation of earlier 

appearance of some diffraction 

lines of spinel phase during the

stacking faults prior to the cation 

reordering. However there was no 

sound evidence such as structure 

refinement to confirm any of these 

mechanisms. Our experiments

to support the two-step

Synchrotron X-radiation, Ultrasonics, and the 

Composition of the Earth 

M. T. Vaughan (Center for High Pressure Research, State University of New York at Stony Brook) 

The primary data about the deep interior of the 

Earth that is relevant to its Composition are the travel 

times of seismic waves. These data are used to determine 

the compressional and shear acoustic velocity and the 

density, as functions of depth. To determine the 

composition of the materials present there (in terms of 

both chemistry and phase), we need to measure in the 

laboratory the equivalent parameters of candidate earth 

materials at equivalent conditions of pressure and 

temperatures. 

Acoustic velocities of many earth materials have been 

measured at elevated pressures and temperatures using 

ultrasonic interferometry for several decades now, however 

only recently have we been able to make these 

measurements at pressure and temperature conditions 

equivalent to the Transition Zone at 400 kni. (-15 

GPa)I’~*l . There has long been a problem ofdeterniination 

of the pressure in these experiments; use of fixed-point 

calibration has been fairly siiccessfd at room temperature, 

but is much less accurate at high temperatures. 

Synchrotron radiation has been used to addresc some 

of these issues for over a decade. The change in unit cell 

volume under increasing pressure and temperature is 

measured using x-ray diffraction; the known cquationc 

of state of various materials such as NaCl and MgO are 

then used to determine the pressure. With the installation 

of the DIA multi-anvil high pressure apparatus at the 

superconducting wiggler beam line at the NSLS in late 

1989, we perform these experiments at precisely 

determined temperatures on fairly large samples (-1 nini?. 

In the last two years, we have developed a facility to 

measure acoustic velocities using ultrasonic interferometry 

on samples while they are under high pressure and 

temperature inside the DIA apparatus. The ultrasonic 

sample is surrounded by NaCI, which can be uced to 

determine the pressure. In Figure G-4, we show the 

acoustic piezoelectric transducer-tiitigsteti carbide anvil 

arrangement and the high-tctii~~cratiirc cell asscnihly for 

the DIA. The WC anvil serves as an acoustic buffer rod 

to transmit the high-frequency signal (20 to 90 MHz) 

into the cell assembly. 

Using this technique, we have measured both the 

compressional and shear wave velocities of most of the 

major components of the earth’s mantle. These include 

magnesium silicate in the olivincl’l, wadsleyitel”, gnrnct 

(niajorite)l‘l, orthopyroxcncl”l, and pcrovskitc~’1 phases. 

Since these materials exist in the earth as Mg-Fc solid 

solutions, some of these nicas~irements have been made 

on samples with some iron in them. 

Even though the use ofx-ray diffraction to dctcrminc 

the pressure using the equation of state of some Imown 

material is a great improvement over earlier, fixed point 

calibration techniques, it still depends on the knowledge 

ofthat equation ofstate, which was dctcrminc earlier using 

a variety of techniques, not all of which arc necessarily 

very accurate. Measriremcnt of the change in cell volume 

at e I eva t ed press ii re (and t e m pc r a t 11 re) w h i 1 c 

simultaneously measuring the P- and S-wave acoustic 

velocities on the same sample, provides the ability to 

determine the pressure absolutely without reference to 

earlier calibrations. The p- and S-W;IVC acoustic velocities 

are given by Vp2=(K+(4/3)<;)/p and Vs‘=G/p, where K 

and C, are the bulk and shear moduli, respectively, and p 

is the density. These can be combined to eliminate G, 

giving K=p[Vp2-(4/3)Vs2]. Becarise the bulk modulus is 

also given by K=VdI’/dV, these two equations can be 

combined to eliminate the pressure if both acoustic 

velocities and the cell voliinie (or density) arc 

independently measured. We h;iw begun a project mal<ing 

these measurements for MgO, with the goal of creating 

an independent pressure ~cale’~~ W

Detection of Organic Compounds Associated with 

Carbonate Globules and Rims in the ALH84001 Meteorite 

from Mars 

G. J. FI nn (Dept. of Ph sics, SUNY-Plattsburgh), L. P. Keller, M. A. Miller (MVA, Inc.), CJacobsen and Y . Wirick (Dept. of Physics, SUNY-Stony Brook 

In August 1996, D. S. McKay and co-workersl’l 

reported possible evidence for biological activity on Mars 

in material along fracture surfaces in the ALH8400 1 

meteorite, believed to be from Mars. They found 

carbonate globules, which may form by precipitation from 

water, along the fracture surfaces. Dark rims surrounding 

the carbonate globules contain magnetite and iron-sulfide 

grains, similar in size and shape to those produced by 

terrestrial bacterial”. They also detected organic 

compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 

(PAHs), frequently produced by the decay of living 

material, “found in the highest concentrations in the 

regions rich in carbonates”[’]. While each of the features 

might have been produced by non-biological processes, 

their close spatial association sugysts they all formed by 

the same process. They 

concluded that biological 

activity, early in the Mars’ 

history, could explain all 

the features‘’]. 

Other investigators 

suggest the carbonates 

formed at high 

temperatures, inconsistent 

with precipitation from 

water[’]. In addition, most 

meteorites are 

contaminated by terrestrial 

organic matter, so the 

PAHs found associated 

with the carbonates might 

be from Earth not Mars. A 

recent study determined 

that a majority of the 

organic matter in 

ALH84001 is likely to be 

terrestrial 

contaminationl3I, although 

the same study found 

some pre-terrestrial carbon 

after the carbonates had 

been dissolved. If this 

carbon is organic, then 10 to 20%) of the organic mattcr 

in ALH84001 was present prior to its arrival on Earthl’l. 

The organic measurements by McKay’s group wcrc 

limited by the spatial resolution of the instrument and 

by their ability to detect only one class of organic 

compounds. Their instrument has a sampling bc;inispot 

50 microns in size”’, the width of a typical human hair. 

This is comparable to the size ofcntirc carbonate globulcs 

(-50 to 100 microns), and much larger than the dark 

rims (-5 to 10 microns thick) or the individual mngnctite 

crystals (tens of nanometers in size). In addition, their 

technique was sensitive only to PAHs, not other (possibly 

more interesting) organic molecules which arc less stahlc 

in the laser desorption process they used.

Microscope (STXM) on beamline X1A at 

the National Synchrotron Light Source 

(NSLS) at Brookhaven National 

Laboratory to determine the bonding states 

and the spatial distribution of carbon in 

carbonates and rims from the ALH84001 

meteorite[*]. The STXM has a 50 

nanometer analysis beamspot, comparable 

to the size of the individual magnetite and 

iron-sulfide crystals, which allows the 

spatial association of carbon bearing 

compounds to be examined with a 

resolution about 1000 times better than 

that achieved by McKay and co-workers[']. 

We then examined the samples using 

a Spectra-Tech Fourier Transform Infrared 

(FTIR) spectrometer, installed on beamline 

U4IR at the NSLS, to identify the carbon 

bondsL51. Beamline U4-IR produces an 

intense infrared light beam, providing a 

sensitivity about 100 times better than the 

conventional laboratory FTIR 

instrument[']. FTIR examination allows 

identification of a wide range of organic 

compounds, not just the PAHs detected by 

McKay et al. [l], using analysis spots down 

to about 3 microns in size. 

Samples: Fragments of ALH8400 1 

carbonate and rim were embedded in 

elemental sulfur, ultramicrotomed to -200 

nanometers thick, and deposited on an Si0 

substrate. This avoids exposure to the 

carbon-bearing epoxies and substrates 

normally used in preparation for 

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) 

and STXM examination. Thus, we insured 

that any carbon we detected was indigenous 

to the samples. 

TEM examination of the carbonate 

samples indicated they consisted mostly of 

large crystals of Mg-Fe-carbonate with some 

regions of fine-grained Mg-Fe-carbonate 

and magnetite. The dark rim samples were 

dominated by feldspathic glass, but 

included large (-5 micron) chromite and 

a few small regions of fine-grained 

magnetite, sulfide, and Mg-Fe-carbonate 

similar to the rim material described by 

McKay et al. [l]. 

STXM Examination: In the STXM 

mapping mode, the energy of the incident 

monochromatic x-ray beam is fixed and the 

sample is scanned beneath the beam. The

is bound in carbonate, while Spot 2 has three absorptions, 

at 284.9,286.5, and 288.2 eV, suggesting the presence of 

organic carbon at this spot. Spot 3 is a carbon-rich spot 

on the rim sample. It shows strong absorptions at 284.5 

and 288.2 eV, indicating the rim contains a different type 

of carbon than that in the globule.

Figure G-7: FTlR spectra of the C-H stretching region of a Rim sample (top) and a Carbonate Globule 

sample (bottom) from the ALH84001 meteorite. The Rim sample shows two strong absorptions, at 2918 

and 2850 cml, consistent with the positions and relative intensities of the C-H, stretching vibrations in an 

aliphatic hydrocarbon. The Carbonate Globule sample shows a single strong absorption at 2964 ern.', 

consistent with a C-H,stretching vibration, and a weaker, broad absorption from 2900 to 2950 cm-’. This 

sample may also show a very weak, broad feature from 2990 to 3060 cm.’, possibly associated with 

PAHs. 

absorption of the sample is measured at each pixel. Since 

the absorption of carbon increases sharply at 290 eV, the 

carbon K-edge energy, while the absorptions of other 

elements are approximately constant in a narrow range 

of energy near the carbon K-edge, a pixel showing an 

increase in absorption between the map just below the 

carbon K-edge (e.g., 280 eV) and the map just above the 

carbon K-edge (e.g., 300 eV) contains carbon (see image 

in Figure G-5). 

In Carbon-X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure 

(C-XANES) mode the beam hits a fixed position on the 

sample, and the monochrometer is scanned over the 

energy range from 270 to 310 eV. Absorptions in this 

region are characteristic of particular carbon bonds. The 

C-0 bond in carbonate gives rise to a strong absorption 

near 290 eV but no absorption near 285 eV, while C-C, 

C=C, and C-H bonds have strong absorptions in the 284 

to 287 eV range. Thus, C-XANES is a sensitive technique 

to detect organic (or graphitic) carbon in a matrix of 

carbonate, making the STXM particularly well suited to 

identitjing non-carbonate carbon in a matrix of carbonate 

(as is the case for the ALH84001 carbonate and rim 

samples) . 

The C-XANES spectra of the carbonatc samples 

showed a strong absorption at 290 cV, characteristic of 

the C-0 bond in carbonate. These samples also showcd 

weaker absorptions at 284.8 eV, 286.5 eV, and 288.2 eV 

(see Figure G-6). The relative intensities of the latter 

three absorption peaks were approximately constant 

(where they could be detected), suggesting that 

throughout the carbonate samples a single additional 

carbon - b e a r i n g phase do m i n a t ed the ab sorption . 

However these three peaks varied in intensity with 

position on the sample, ranging from spots showing only 

2-32 
the 290 eV carbonate peak to spots showing strong 

absorptions at 284.8 eV, 286.5 eV, and 288.2 eV but no 

detectable 290 eV peak. This indicates the second carbonbearing phase is distributed inhomogeneously on the scale 

of the 50 nm beamspot, within the carbonate. Work is in 

progress to correlate the locations of this phase with TEM 

mineralogy. 

Most spots on the rim samples showed no absorption 

at 290 eV, consistent with a low abundance of carbonate. 

Some spots showed two absorption peaks at 284.5 eV 

and 288.2 eV, indicating the presence of C-C, C=C, C0, or C-H bonds. The differences in absorption energies 

and the absence of the third peak in indicate that the 

dominant carbon-bearing phase in the rim is different 

from that in the carbonate globule. Correlation of the 

STXM carbon map with TEM mineralogy indicates the 

carbon-rich phase is associated with fine-grained 

magnetite and sulfide, and may also occur as veins or 

inclusions in the feldspathic glass. 

FTIR Examination: To determine if the dominant 

carbon-bearing compound is different in the rim samples 

and the carbonate globule samples and to determine if 

these phases are organic, the same samples analyzed by 

STXM were examined by FTIR, a technique routinely 

used for the laboratory identification of organic 

compounds. The FTIR spectra of the rim samples showed 

a broad absorption near 1000 cm-', characteristic ofsilicate 

glass, and two weaker features at 2918 cm-' and 2850 

cm-I, consistent in position and relative depths with the 

stretching vibrations of C-H, in an aliphatic hydrocarbon 

(see Figure G-7). 

The FTIR spectra of the carbonate globule samples 

showed a narrow absorption at + 1500 cm-', characteristic 

of carbonate, and a weaker absorption at 2964 cm-'. The 

feature at 2964 cm-' is characteristic of the C-H, 

asymmetrical stretching vibration. Although a weaker 

C-H, symmetrical stretching vibration generally occurs 

near 2870 cm-I, this feature is absent in the carbonate 

globule spectrum, and is suppressed in certain compounds 

containing C-H, groups. Two even weaker features at 

2920 cm-' and 2850 cm-', consistent with C-H,, were 

also detected at some spots on the carbonate globule 

samples. One particularly good spectrum of the carbonate 

globule sample appears to show a weak, broad absorption 

over the range 2990 cm-' and 3060 cm-', where the C-H 

stretching vibrations (centered at 3030 cm-') of a mixture 

of PAHs would occur. Follow-up measurements to 

determine if we have located the PAHs are planned. 

Conclusions: The combined STXM and FTIR 

measurements confirm, at a much smaller scale than was 

possible in the work of McKay et al. [l], the close spatial 

association between organic material and the carbonate 

globules and rims in ALH84001. The carbon detection 

limit of the STXM is of order percent level. IfALH84001 

has a similar bulk carbon content other Mars meteorites 

(0.04 to 0.07%[71), then the STXM results demonstrate 

that compared to the bulk meteorite relatively large 

concentrations of organic carbon are associated with the 

carbonate globules and rims. The FTIR measurements 

indicate the rim material contains an aliphatic 

hydrocarbon whose absorption is dominated by the CH, group, while the carbonate globule is dominated by 

the C-H, group absorption. Thus the rim and the globule 

contain different organic compounds. This results seems 

to rule out the simplest form of organic contamination 

of these samples, simple evaporation of an organic-rich 

fluid, which would be expected to leave the same residue 

in both the carbonate globules and the adjacent rim 

material. However, we cannot exclude contamination by 

selective absorption of different organic species onto the 

different mineral substrates.

Synchrotron Infrared Microspectroscopy: 

A New Technique for Probing the Chemical Composition 

of Bone and its Implications for Understanding 

Osteoarthritis 

L. M. Miller, D. Hamerman, and M.R. Chance (Albert Einstein Center for Syn- chrotron Biosciences), G. L. Carr and G. P. Williams (NSLS), Cathy S. Carlson 

(Bowman Gray School of Medicine) 

Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of disability 

among people over 65 years old and affects approximately 

40 million people in the United States (Center for Disease 

Control, 1990). It is characterized by a breakdown of 

the articular cartilage and thickening of the subchondral 

bone. To date, the cause of osteoarthritis is unknown, 

but, an extensive study of cynomolgus monkeys has 

demonstrated that the subchondral bone thickening 

precedes the development of articular lesions.[ll In 

addition, a recent study on humans determined that the 

subchondral bone from patients with symptomatic 

osteoarthritis was hypomineralized compared with that 

from asymptomatic individuals.l‘l These data suggest that 

the health and integrity of the articular cartilage is 

dependent upon the mechanical propertics of the 

underlying subchondral bone. In turn, the mechanical 

properties of subchondral bone arc also dependent upon 

its chemical structure. 

Over a lifetime, bone is continuously remodeling 

itself and the chemical composition of bone is extremely 

important to this process. Chemically, bone is made up 

of both organic and mineral components. The organic 

component is primarily type I collagen, whereas 

hydroxyapatite, Ca,,,(PO,),(OH),, is the mineral 

component of bone. As bone matures, the size, 

crystallinity, and stoichiometry of the hydroxyapatite 

crystals change. Substitutions into the hydroxyapatite 

crystal lattice are common, where calcium can be replaced 

by cations such as Na’, K, MgZ+, SrZ+, and Pb”. Phosphate 

and hydroxide can be replaced by CO,’-, HPOq’, C1 , 

and F-. These substitutions into the hydroxyipatite lattice 

are very important to bone strength, flexibility, and the 

process of remodeling because they affect crystal size, 

density, and solubility. Thus, we hypothesize that the 

bone matrix composition andlor bone mineral contcnt 

and crystallinity are modified iii sjtir in a specific manner 

as a function of subchondrd hone thickness. 

We have addressed this hypothesis by cxnniining the 

chemical composition ofsuhchondral bone using inJ;.crrcd 

mirro-sprrtrosrop~. Infrared spectroscopy is an analytical 

technique that is sensitive to the chemical coniponcnt~ 

in bone. This technique can be iised to determine (1) 

protein structure and concentration, and (2) mineral 

concentration, crystallinity, and contcnt (c.g. phosphate, 

acid phosphate, carbonate). The crystallinity rcsitlts arc 

correlated to hydroxyapatite crystal size and pcrfcction, 

as determined by x-ray powder diffraction. By putting 

infrared light through a microscope, infrared spectra can 

be collected on micron-sized rcgions of bone in sitrr and 

compared to visible images of the same region. Thus, we 

can examine the chemical composition of suhchondral 

bone as a function of subchondral bone thickness, i.c. 

severity of osteoarthritis. 

Inherently, the long wa\dengths of infrared light 

limit the spatial resolution achievahlc with this technique. 

We have demonstrated that substantial changes in 

chemical composition occur within 20 pni of the site of 

new bone growth.13,”l This type ofspatial resolution can 

only be achieved with a syirlwoti.o/i infrared source. 

Beamline U4IR at the National Synchrotron Light Source 

provides the world’s brightest source of synchrotron 

infrared light - IO00 times brighter than a conventional 

2-34 
infrared source - permitting rapid data collection at the 

diffraction limit, i.e. 3-5 pm in the mid-infrared region. 

Recently, we used synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy 

to examined the subchondral plate of a knee joint from a 

radiographically normal cynomolgus monkey (Miller et 

al, 1997a, b). The results can be summarized as follows: 

(1) Bone crystallinity decreases and (2) the carbonate / 

phosphate ratio increases as subchondral bone thickens. 

(3) The phosphate / protein ratio is high where 

crystallinity is high. (4) The acid phosphate concentration 

is relatively constant throughout the subchondral bone. 

Since these results suggest that the chemical composition 

of subchondral bone varies with thickness, we hope that 

future experiments as a function of disease severity will 

continue to provide a chemical understanding of the 

molecular basis for subchondral bone thickening in 

osteoarthritis. H

Macromolecular Crystallography Area Detectors 

L. Berman (NSLS) 

During the 1997 fiscal year, the area detectors for 

all of the macromolecular crystallography beamlines were 

upgraded, or were in the process of being upgraded. The 

overall intention was to make the collection of 

crystallography data to be a less laborious and more userfriendly chore, and to reduce the fraction of users’ beam 

time (dead time) in which no data could be collected at 

all. 

Beamline X4A, operated by HHMI, had installed a 

Rigaku R-Axis IV automatic imaging plate detector, 

replacing the manual Fuji imaging plates with off-line 

readout. The new detector contains two plates, allowing 

one plate to be read out (in about 3 minutes) while the 

other is exposing. This allows more efficient use to be 

made of the available beam time and simultaneously 

reduces the necessary labor to run the experiment, because 

manual exchange, readout, and erasure of imaging plates 

(with the concomitant book-keeping) arc no longer 

necessary. Beamline X4C, also operated by HHMI and 

undergoing commissioning, will, when operational, use 

an Area Detectors Systems Corp. (ADSC) Quantum-1 

single-module, lKxlK CCD detector, which has a 

readout time of less than 10 seconds. 

Beamline XSC, whose PRT was recently 

reconstituted under the principal auspices of Los Alamos 

National Laboratory, re-commenced a macromolecular 

crystallography program using the X-Ray Research 

(MAR) 300 mm diameter automatic imaging plate system 

that had been used on the X12C (BNL Biology Dept.) 

beamline for several years. This single-plate detector has 

a full-area readout time of about 3 minutes. On beamline 

X9B, under the joint auspices of the Albert Einstein 

College of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, 

a MAR 345 mm diameter automatic imaging plate system 

was implemented. This new single-plate detector has a 

full-area readout time of under 1.5 minutes. 

Beamline X12B, operated by the BNL Biology 

Dept., had earlier in the year removed the MAR 300 mm 

diameter imaging plate detector, that had been in use 

there, from its base. It was remounted on the long twotheta arm in the experimental hutch, that was historically 

employed for small angle x-ray scattering experiments. 

This upgrade allowed for having a very long detector 

distance (so that large unit cell crystals could be studied) 

and, by tilting the two-theta arm, attaining high 

resolution. An ADSC Quantum-4 four-module CCD 

detector (1Kxl K per module), funded by the 1996 DOE 

Basic Energy Scicnccs Facilitics Initiative Program along 

with some contributions by a few pharmaceutical 

companies, was also ordered for XI 2B, and arrivcd at thc 

start of the 1998 fiscal year. 

On X12C, also operated by the BNI, Biology Dept., 

a single-modulc, lKxlK CCD detector, built by a 

collaboration of Brandeis U. and thc BNI, Biology Dcpt., 

was installed at the start of the 19%’ fiscal year. It was 

presented as an optional alternative to the MAR 300 mni 

diameter imaging plate detector which had bccn in use 

on X12C for several years. Thc bulk of the 

macromolecular crystallography expcrinicnts on X12C 

have been serviced by the CCD dctcctor since. At the 

start of the 1998 fiscal year, a four-module CCD detector 

was delivered by the Brandcis / BNI, Biology collaboration 

to XI 2C for commissioning. It will ultimately be made 

available for use on X25. 

On the X25 wiggler beamline, opcratcd by the 

NSLS, a new MAR 345 mni dianietcr imaging platc 

system, provided by the NSLS via Facilities Initiative 

Program funds, was installed to scrvicc macromolecular 

crystallography experiments. This replaced use of two 

different MAR 300 mm diameter imaging plate systems, 

loaned during the past few years to X25 by the BNL 

Biology Dept. and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Thc 

readout time of the new dctcctor (pcr unit platc area) is 3 

times faster than for the old MAR detectors, and it has a 

finer spatial resolution. In addition, a MAR singlcmodule, 2Kx2K CCD detector, with even fincr spatial 

resolution and a readout time of less than 10 seconds, 

was also funded by the NSLS via the Facilities Initiative 

Program, and its delivery is expected in the 1998 fiscal 

year. It will be able to substitute on X25 for thc MAR 

imaging plate detector, on the same mounting base, when 

desired. The use of this CCD detector will not be 

restricted to macromolecular crystallography. Finally, the 

Brandeis / BNL Biology four-module CCD detector 

mentioned above that was commissioned on XI 2C, will 

become available for use on X25 during early 1998. 

Beamline X2C, primarily operated in the past with 

focussed and unfocusscd white x-ray beam capabilities, 

for Laue macromolecular crystallography and othcr white 

beam experimental programs, by the University of 

Chicago Consortium for Advanccd Radiation Sources 

(CARS) and the BNL Applied Science and Biology 

2-36 
Departments, got an NSLS-sponsored upgrade to give it 

a standard monochromatic beam capability. Cold Spring 

Harbor Laboratory and the State University of New York 

at Stony Brook joined this PRT in the 1997 fiscal year, 

and began a monochromatic macromolecular several years. W 

crystallography experimental program, based upon a 

MAR 300 mm diameter imaging plate system provided 

by Cold Spring Harbor. This system replaced the manual 

Fuji imaging plates that had been provided by CARS for

The pace of protein-structure determination is 

accelerating rapidly, and synchrotron X-ray sources such 

as the NSLS are at the center of this action. Structures of 

protein molecules are in high demand in biotechnology 

because they are important for applications such as drug 

discovery and engineering enzymes for commercial use. 

A structure of a protein molecule can be used to identify 

what each part of the molecule is doing and makes it 

possible to design new protein molecules that have 

improved properties for therapeutic or industrial use. As 

the genome projects continue to produce thousands of 

new protein sequences, the demand for structural 

information on these proteins is increasing. Synchrotron 

beam lines are a key tool for protein structure 

determination. The multiwavelength anomalous 

diffraction (MAD) method takes advantage of the 

intensity and tuneability of x-rays from synchrotron 

radiation sources in obtaining x-ray diffraction data that 

can be used to solve protein structures that contain atoms 

with accessible x-ray absorption edges. 

Until recently, the measurement and analysis of 

MAD x-ray data has been somewhat difficult owing to 

the number of steps involved and to the need for an expert 

to make important decisions about how to handle the 

data. We have assembled a variety of software and 

hardware systems to do much of this work for 

inexperienced users. These include beamline-control and 

data-collection software, graphical monitoring of data 

reduction, remote monitoring of beamline operations, 

and automatic solving of the phase problem to produce 

an electron-density map of the macromolecule. 

The portions of this that involve acquisition of the 

data, developed by Skinner and Sweet, have been 

produced for the operation of the synchrotron beamline 

X12C at the NSLS. These were highlighted in the 1996 

NSLS Activity Report. Users of the beamline 

communicate with all the experimental apparatus, 

including both the data-collection equipment and the 

beamline components including the monochromator, 

through an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). 

Important features of the system are (1) its modularity, 

so that different underlying programs or different 

apparatus can be incorporated easily, (2) its ease of use, 

minimizing both user errors and training effort, and (3) 

that most of the experimental operations and parameters 

are logged automatically, again minimizing errors and 

facilitating more-or-less automatic reduction of the data. 

At the time of writing, several different area-sensitive 

detectors are available (see accompanying article by L. 

Berman) for mounting on the four-circle diffractometer 

at the beamline. 

The logging of experimental parameters allows the 

nearly automatic reduction of data. We have constructed 

a graphical diagnostic routine to display color-coded 

information about the course of data reduction, neearly 

all of which is performed while users are present at the 

beamline. A web-based (Java code) tool monitors much 

of the information that is displayed on the GUI at the 

beamline, allowing beamline staff and professors back 

home to keep track of the course of the data collection at 

the beamline. Portions of this software package are in 

use at several beamlines, and we expect to be able to 

disseminate it further. 

To close the loop on the nearly automatic solving of 

structures, a new software package called SOLVE 

developed by Terwilliger and Berendzen can carry out all 

the steps and make all the necessary decisions in the 

analysis of MAD data automatically, and we have installed 

2-37 
it at beamlines X12C, X8C, and X4A at the NSLS. The 

SOLVE software has now bccn run by a numbcr of users 

at these beanilincs and has proven itselfcapable of solving 

protein structures in less time than was necessary to collcct 

the x-ray data. 

SOLVE is an expcrt system that automatically 

produccs thrce-dimensional elcctron-density maps of 

protein molecules from x-ray diffraction mcasurcnients. 

For a MAD striictiirc dctcrmination, a uscr at the NSLS 

used to calculatc electron density for the entire striicture. 

Thc hard part is coming up with likely solutions for tlic 

positions of the hcavy atoms and evaluating the relative 

quality ofdifferent solutions. These steps often have been 

done manually in thc past, while S0I.VIt can carry them 

both out automatically. SOIXF, generates a list of likely 

solutions for the locations of the heaviest atoms in thc

and constructs an electron density map that can be 

displayed using a graphics program. 

The approach used by SOLVE is similar to the one 

that a protein crystallographer would use. The MAD 

method for structure determination is a kind of

Bayesian Correlated MAD Phasing, is a comprehensive 

way to deal with errors in measurement and to deal with 

large differences between crystals used in the diffraction 

analysis. The result of this integration of techniques is a 

fully automated analysis of x-ray diffraction 

measurements. 

The recent successful structure determination by 

Richard Fahrner, Duilio Cascio and David Eisenberg 

(UCLA) at X12C illustrates how useful SOLVE can be. 

The UCLA group was interested in determining the 

structure of a histone protein (HMK) from a thermophilic 

organism. After other methods of solving the structure 

failed, they used established methods for 

selenomethionine incorporation to produced 

selenomethionyl histone protein, and then obtained 

crystals of the protein. Late in 1997, they came to 

beamline X12C at the NSLS to collect data for a threewavelength MAD experiment. Since accurate anomalous 

information is required for a good MAD experiment, they 

collected anomalous pairs using the Friedel flip method: 

for every wavelength there were two datasets, sweeping 

the same zones, 180 degrees apart. Their MAD 

experiment consisted of six complete datasets; two at the 

rising inflection point of the absorption spectrum 

(0.9798 A), two at the “white line” peak (0.9799 A), and 

two at a distant point (0.9500 A). Data collection 

proceeded smoothly and rapidly, employing the automatic 

MAD data-collection protocols described above. Two 

factors accelerated high resolution data collection. The 

size and dynamic range of the new four-module Brandeis 

CCD-based detector permitted collection of high 

resolution and low resolution data in a single pass. Also, 

careful oriention of the crystal with respect to the major 

zones allowed collection of a large amount of data in a 

short period of time. The integrated data were about ninefold redundant, greater than 99% complete to 1.4 A, with 

a merging R of 8.1%. Data collection for the complete 

MAD experiment required about seven hours. 

The software package SOLVE was used to perform 

phase determination and assess the quality of their MAD 

experiment. The SOLVE package offered several 

advantages for them. Whereas manual solution of 

Patterson maps in high symmetry space groups with 

multiple heavy atom sites is challenging and time 

consuming, SOLVE offered a simple-to-set-up, automatic 

phase determination alternative. The three-wavelength 

unmerged data with Bijovet pairs were input to SOLVE. 

Using the anomalous and dispersive differences between 

datasets, SOLVE determined a single solution for four of 

five Se-Met sites within 78 minutes running on a 5OOMhz 

DC ALPHA workstation. SOLVE was even able to 

distinguish the correct hand of the structure. The time 

from placing the crystal into the beam until the structure 

was solved was an astonishing 11 hours. 

The initial electron density maps were easily 

interpretable (Figure 1-2). The map quality was then 

improved through solvent-flattening and histogrammatching routines using the program “dm” in the CCP4 

program suite. The solvent-flattened map could be 

unambiguously traced for 98 of 154 residues. After 

refinement using XPLOR, the amino acids originally 

traced were returned in the 2Fo-Fc map and more 

importantly, most of the remaining residues could be 

traced. Their current 2.0 A model includes residues 3 to 

154 and 40 water molecules (R=26.3%, Rf,,,=33.7%).

Soft X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy (X1 B) 

K. Smith ef a/. (Boston U.) 

1997 saw the coniniissioning by Kevin Smith's group 

from Boston Univcrsity of a new high rcsolution soft xray emission spcctromctcr on X1 B. There arc only a 

handful of such instruments around the world, and this 

is the only onc dcdicatcd for use at the NSLS. Soft x-ray 

emission (SXE) spcctroscopy allows the bulk electronic 

structure ofcomplex solids to be measured without regard 

partial density ofstatcs (PDOS). l'hus thcsc spcctr;~ show 

the behavior of the dominant part of the vnlcncc band 

density of states in AI,Ga,~,N as the AI contctit is varied. 

The band gap for AIkGa,~,N varies from 6.2 CV in AIN (x 

= I) to 3.4 CV in GaN (x = 0). 'l'hc motion of the top of 

the valence band is clearly visible in the spectra, shifting 

linearly by 1.5 cV as x varies from 0 to 1. I his indicatcs .* 

to the quality or clcanlincss of the solid surface. 

In particular, SXE allows thc clcnicntally resolved 

partial dcnsity of states to be measurcd. SXE 

also allows the direct mcasiircment of hybrid 

states, of d-d excitations in transition nictal 

systems, and of changes in electronic structure 

during metal to non-metal transitions while the 

sample is in applied electric or magnctic ficlds. 

The BU group is using the spcctromctcr 

in the study of thrcc diffcrent classes of materials: 

wide band gap nitride semiconductors, orpnic 

superconductors, and transition metal oxides. 

During two runs in 1997, the BU group 

calibrated their SXE instrumcnt and began study 

of each of these materials systems. As an example 

of thc first cxpcrimcnts, Figure 1-4 shows a series 

ofN K-emission spcctra from thcAIxGa, ,N alloy 

system. Owing to thc magnitude ofthe bandgip 

in thesc matcrials, thcy are ideal candidates for 

optoelectronic devices working in thc bluc/UV 

range of the elcctromagnctic spectrum. The 

spectra in Figure 1-4 arc the result of tuning the 

incident photon energy to just abovc thc N K 

absorption edge, thus creating holes on the N 

Is level, and measuring thc radiative dccay of 

thcsc holes. Dipole selection rules imply that 

the resulting spectra corrcspond to thc N 2p

Unlike photoemission, there are no charging 

problems associated with such measurements, and 

the surfaces of the films were not atomically cleaned. 

A further illustration of the power of this 

spectroscopy is presented in Figure 1-5. Here the 

N K-emission spectra below the valence band are 

shown. Clearly visible at 19 eV is a well defined 

emission feature. This is direct observation of N 2p 

states hybridized with the Ga 3d shallow core level. 

The interatomic Ga 3d - N Is transition is forbidden, 

so the emission to the Is hole must arise from states 

with N 2p character. That the emission at 19 eV is 

due to these hybrid states is proven by the reduction 

of the emission with Al content. 

Other experiments in the first runs explored the 

spatially resolved electronic structure of organic 

superconductors, and changes in d-d transitions in 

transition metal oxides during metal to non-metal 

transitions. W

Fermi Surface Mapping in Photoemisson 

P.D. Johnson, T. Valla, and A.V. Federov (BNL Physics Department) 

Photoemission represents otic of the most po\verfiil 

techniques for the stiidy of the electronic structure of 

materials. It has seen widespread application to the study 

of metals, superconductors, sitrfkcs, thin films and, in 

its spin-resolved form, magnetic systems. In recent years, 

the development of higher energy resolution in this 

technique has allowed important contributions to be 

made to the field of high temperature suI’erconductivit): 

Recently, a group in the Physics Department at BNI, 

has commissioned a new photoemission ficility based on 

the use of a Scicnta hemispherical analyzer. This 

instrument has the capaldity of measuring simulrancously 

the photoelectron’s energy and angle of emission over a 

wide range of angles. An ultimate energy resolution of 5 

meV and an angular resolution of I0.21’are anticipated. 

The momentum resolution of the system is demonstrated 

in Figure I-G(a) where we show the experimentally 

observed electronic bands of molybdenum dispersing 

through momentum space in the NH direction of the 

B ri 1 lo it i ti zone. The ex peri m en tal o bse rva t i o 11 s a re

structure in the same region of tlic zone. The spectral 

density plot is obtained with incident phototis of energy 

390 cV produced hy the soft X-ray undrilntor on the X1 I3 

beamline. The center of electron emission corresponds 

to an angle of 151’ with respect to the surface normal. 

The experimental par‘allcl niomcnta, k,,, arc dctcrtiiincd 

from k, = 0.5 I23 (EL,,,)’”sin$ , where FdL>,, represents the 

photocIcctron’s kinetic energ,y ahovc the v;iciiiim lcvcl and 

j the angle of emission. By using higher incident photon 

energies, the variation in k, ofthc final state as a function 

of k,, is greatly reduced. However, the question arises as 

to \vhether, at thcsc energies, it will still hc possihlc to 

ohserve the momentum dcpcndcncc of the electronic 

strticture. That otic c;in in fact do so is clcnr from Figure 

I-b(a). An important point to note is that the 

experimental observations arc obtained with no changes 

in the voltages applied to the analyer. One is simply 

“opening the shutter and taking a picture” of this 

particular section of the Brillouin zone. In Figure I-G(b)

we show for comparison cuts through 

Figure 1-b(a) at well defined spacings 

in angle in order to provide the 

traditional angle-resolved 

photoemission spectra. 

Aspectral density plot, as shown 

in Figure I-b(a), allows us to examine 

in detail the Fermi surface of the 

material under investigation. This 

Fermi surface is defined by the points 

in momentum space at which the 

electronic bands intersect the Fermi 

level E,. Thus, the points labeled a 

and a' in Figure I-b(a) correspond to 

calipers on an ellipse centered at the 

N point of the Mo Fermi surface. An 

interesting observation is that the 

tunability of synchrotron radiation 

and the symmetry of the crystal allow 

the entire surface of such an ellipse 

to be mapped out without rotating 

the azimuth of the crystal. 

A measurement of the calipers, 

or spanning vectors, on the Fermi 

surface of a material is important for 

our understanding of the oscillatory 

exchange coupling that is observed in 

magnetic multilayers. Indeed, Figure 

1-7 ['I shows a calculation of the Fermi 

surface of bulk molybdenum and 

indicates the relevant spanning

molybdenum as a spacer layer. For comparison, we 

indicate in Figure 1-7 the points a, a', and b corresponding 

to the same points in Figure I-6(a). Interestingly, the 

experimental determination in Figure I-b(a) of the 

spanningvector q from a to b would result in an oscillatory 

period length, 2dq, 80% of that indicated ifi the 

theoretical calculation represented in Figure 1-7.

Surface Magnetic Ordering: A Spin-Polarized 

Photoemission Study of Thin Films of Gd 

P. Dowben and C. Waldfried (University of Nebraska), E. Vescovo (NSLS) 

Perhaps the most remarkable example of the 

uniqueness ofsurface magnetic properties is the condition 

of magnetically ordered surfaces at temperatures where 

the bulk material is paramagnetic. This is well 

documented for the rare-earth elements. An enhanced 

magn et iza t i o 1i has also been p r o posed fo r c h ro m i 11 ni 

surfaccs, and the face centered iron phase. This property 

of the rare earth surfaces is a dramatic example of the 

different magnetic, as well as electronic, propertics that 

exist at surfaccs, as notcd, for example, in the recently 

completed review chapter on the 

surface magnetism of the rare earth 

metals by PA. Dowhen et nl ['I. 

C. Waldfried and coworkers 

from the Dowben group have utilized 

their previous expcrimcntal discovery 

of a localized surfacc state on the 

Gd(0001) surface to probe the origin 

of the different magnetic properties 

of the surfaccs of both "unstraincd" 

and 4% expansively strained 

gadolinium films. Thcy find that the 

occupied bulk Gd 5dI6s bands for 

both strained and unstrained Gd 

exhibit a Stoner-like exchange 

splitting consistent with theoryl'l. 

However, the strained Gd(OOO1) 

surface exhibits a mixture of Stoncrlike magnetism and spin-mixing 

behavior''], with more rigid band 

ferromagnctisni than the unstraincd 

surface. 

During the past year a 

considerablc amount ofwork focused 

on a dctailed study of the band 

structure of the 4%-strained 

Gd(0001) surface using spin 

polarized electron spectroscopyl'l. An 

important result of these 

measurements is that they show vcry 

clearly that the exchange splitting, and by extension 

perhaps the magnetic couplitis, is electron wnvc vector

A second very important result is that there is direct 

evidence that the surface Gd 5d exchange splitting, and 

thus the magnetic moment, is enhanced over the bulk 

particularly for the expansively strained Gd(OO0 1) surface. 

The observed surface Curie temperature of these films is 

370 K and is much higher than the bulk Curie 

temperature for expansively strained Gd(OO0 1). Both of 

these temperatures are much higher than the generally 

accepted bulk Curie temperature of gadolinium of 293 

K. It is very clear that the surface plays the role of an 

“actor” not a “spectator” and will influence finite size 

scaling behavior in the ultra-thin film This is 

indicated in Figure M-2. W

First Observation of Half-Metallic Behavior: 

A Spin-Polarized Photoemission Study of 

Thin Films of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO, 

J.-H. Park, E. Vescovo, and H.-J. Kim (NSLS) 

s mentioned above, a considerable amount of 

experimental work at U5UA during 1997 was devoted 

to the study of the electronic structure of a thin film of 

La,,,Sr,,,,MnO,. This material belongs to the class of 

m an g a n es e fro ni t h e 

antiferromagnetic insulating parent-compound LaMnO., 

by partial substitution of La with Sr atoms. As is \vcll 

known, with increasing temperature this material 

undergoes a complex phase transition from a mctallicferromagnetic phase at low temperatures to an insulntingparamagnetic phase at high temperature (Tc. 350 K). 

This link between metallic character and ferromagnetic 

behavior, as opposed to insulating and 

antiferromagnetism, seems to be a quite general 

characteristic of transition metal oxides ‘‘1 and has been 

explained, at least in some cases, by the so-called double 

exchange mechanisnil’i. According to this model, 

substituting divalent Sr atoms for trivalent La ones forces 

a corresponding number of Mn ions to become 

tetravalent: the system is now a mixed-valent compound 

p e r ovs k i t es , de r i ve d 

in which both Mn” (as in I.aMnO,J and Mii4’ ions arc 

present. The conduction can then be sustained (at no 

cost, in t lie fc r roni agn c tic sys rem) by clcc tro ti hop pi ng 

from a Mn” to a neighboring Mn”’ site (the two 

configurations Mn’+-O’ -Mn”+ and Mn”-O‘ -Mn” being 

obviously degenerate). This tr;insport nicch;iiiisni is 

mediated by the 0’ ions, which permit ;I “doublc 

exchange” in which an electron is exchanged bctwccn a 

3dorhital ofthc Mn” ion and ;in 0 2p electron, while ;it 

the same time another electron is exc1i;ingcd from the 0 

2j) to the MildL ions. However, owing to the strong onsite Mn exchange intcr;iction, this hopping is nllowcd only 

if the two ncighhoritig Mn ions are ferroniagnctically 

aligned: i.e. the systcm can become mct;illic only if it also 

o rdc red fer ro m ag ii e t i cal I y. A vc ry i ni 170 r t;i n t co 11 scquciicc 

of this conduction mcchanism is that this systcm should 

then have charge-carriers all with thc same (majority) 

spins, i.e. it should be a perfect half-mctnllic systcm

La,,,Sr,,,MnO, is clearly displayed: the 

density-of-state at the Fermi level disappears 

with increasing temperature. Figure M-4 

instead shows the spin-resolved spectrum of 

the valence band in a region very close to 

the Fermi level when the system is kept at 

low temperature, i.e. in its ferromagneticmetallic phase. Unambiguously, the 

predicted 100% spin-polarization is observed 

close to the Fermi level. The proof of the 

existence of half-metallic is not 

only important from the fundamental point 

of view but also has important implications 

for technological applications. Indeed, the 

realization of an half-metallic system also 

implies, for example, the realization of a 

100% spin-polarized electron source or the 

realization of a perfect spin-filter. For this 

reason, laboratories all over the world are 

currently testing the magnetic properties of 

these types of materials. In this connection, 

the very surface sensitive measurements 

performed at U5UA on a thin-film surface 

prepared in-situ represent the first 

measurements available of this kind and do 

show a largely distinct magnetic behavior on 

the surface of these materials as compared 

to their known bulk propertie~[~].

The c-axis Optical Response of Y 1-x Ca x Ba,Cu 3 0 7-6 Single

Th c i ti co h e rc ii t elect ro ti i c c-ax i s con d II c t ivi ty 

oc"(~,T) of the cuprate high-T< superconductors has 

attracted considerable attention. The most peculiar feature 

is the gaplike suppression of the normal state o,,"(to,T) 

in the far infrarcd (FIR) regime which hns recently been 

observcd in undcrdopcd YBa,Cu,307-6 (Y- 123)1'.'l, 

YBa,Cu40, and possibly also in La, --\ SrkCii04 14.il. This 

observation has raised thc question ofwhether the unusual 

propertics of thc FIR c-axis conductivity are related to 

the pscudogap which dcpletcs the low energy spin- and 

charge excitations of the CuO, planed'l rather than to 

the insulating rocksalt layers which separate the metallic 

CuO, planes acting like "blocking layers'"-I. In the former 

case CJ,'"(W,T) should evolve as a function of the hole 

doping of the CuO, planes, in analogy to the pseiidogap 

which occurs only for underdoped samples and disappears 

around optimum dopingl'l. In the latter case the 

anomalous features of Oicc'(W,T) should depend critically 

on the structural and electronic details of the "blocking 

1ay~rS"~'. In particular, for Y-123 the CuO chains should 

have a pronounced influence since they become metallic 

upon oxygcnation and reduce the effectiveness of the 

" bl ocki n g 1 a ycr" . 

In order to resolvc this question we have performed 

ellipsometric measurements of the FIR c-axis conductivity 

on Y,~xCalBa,C~i,307~fi (Y,Ca- 123) single crystals for x=O 

and x=O. 14 and variable oxygen dcficicncy 61s1. The partial 

substitution of Y," by Ca'+ introduces extra hole carriers 

into the CuO, planes in addition to those that are 

transferred from the CuO chains as controlled by the 

oxygen This enables LIS to access almost the 

entire doping range from underdoped to strongly 

ovcrdopcd. Furthcrmorc, the opposing effects of hole 

doping due to Ca-substitution and hole depletion due to 

a deoxygenation of the CuO chains allows us to study 

samples with a comparable doping state of the CuO, 

planes but a significantly different oxygen content and 

thus electronic properties of the CuO chains.

Surface Alloys: An Auger Photoelectron Coincidence

Thc VUV Ring has sccn considerable utilization 

by a numbcr of novel applications including Augcrphotoclectron coi ncidcnce spectroscopy (APECS). In this 

adaptation of photoelectron spectroscopy both the core 

photoelectron and thc Augcr clcctron associated with a

with this additional level of discriminntion results in

unusual physical properties of these systems. Up 

until now, experimental work has focused on 

structural aspects, particularly STM 

measurements exploring phase formation upon 

intermixing at the surface. Measurements of the 

electronic structure using conventional 

photoelectron spectroscopy are extremely difficult 

because the signal from the minority metal 

typically is weak and often overlaps spectral 

features of the substrate. 

Our primary result is summarized in Figure 

M-7. Here, APECS spectra of the Ag N,W 

Auger transition from Ag( 100) are compared to 

that of the Ag/Cu(l00) system for several Ag 

coverages. As is clear from the figure, the peak in 

the coincidence Auger spectrum shifts to higher 

kinetic energy for low Ag concentrations. This 

shows that the Ag d-levels shift closer to the Fermi 

level as compared to Ag metal. STM studies 

indicate that for coverages in the 0.1 monolayer 

(ML) range, Ag forms a random substitutional 

alloy in the Cu(100) surface. The calculations 

predict that in this phase, the centroid of the Ag 

d-band shifts + 0.70 eVaway from the Fermi level. 

The origin of the difference between our 

experimental results and the theory is not yet clear, 

however the shifts can be understood in terms of 

relative electron density and the calculations were 

performed for the closed packed surface, while 

our experiments examined the more open (1 00) 

surface. Upcoming investigations of Pt/Cu( 100) 

and Pt/Ag( 100) should prove most interesting.

To better understand the influence of 

alloying on the electronic structure of the 

minority component, we have also performed 

detailed studies of the Ag 4p core levels and 

the associated N,,,W Auger spectra from the 

single crystal Ag( 100) surface. It is well known 

that the shallow p-levels of the late transition 

metals have very broad and ill-defined spectral 

line shapes. Owing to strong overlap with the 

4d bands, the shallow 4p levels of Ag have a 

very short lifetime and hence appear as broad 

(+5 eV wide) features in photoemission 

spectra. This width is folded into the 

conventional Auger spectrum. By measuring 

Ag N,,,W Auger electrons in coincidence 

with Ag 4p photoelectrons of a particular 

kinetic energy, we have eliminated this 

broadening and revealed the intrinsic lineshape 

of the Auger transition. These coincidence 

Ag N,W Auger spectra are shown in Figure 

M-8. The majority of the emission is 

accounted for by an atomic-like d8 multiplet, 

but there is a significant band-like component. 

A comparison of the relative spectral weight 

contained in each component indicates that 

the band-like part is larger than is observed in 

conventional M,,,W Auger spectra and also 

larger than is anticipated based on the band 

width and correlation energies of Ag.

Large Value of the Electron-Phonon Coupling Parameter 

b1.15 and the Possibility of Surface Superconductivity at 

the Be(0001) Surface 

T. Balasubramanian and E. Jensen (Brandeis University) X.L. Wu and S.L. Hulbert (NSLS) 

The electronic density of states (DOS) at the Fermi 

level (E,) at the Be(0001) surface is about four times larger 

than in the bulk"]. The E, DOS is an important 

parameter for describing many electronic processes. 

Anomalously large surface core level shiftsL2], and giant 

surface Friedel oscillation^[^] have been observed on this 

surface, and attributed to the large surface to bulk E, 

DOS ratio. Electron phonon coupling should also be 

enhanced. In a typical electron-phonon interaction event, 

an electron scatters from one state to another with the 

emission or absorption of a phonon. By simple Fermi 

golden rule arguments, one expects the probability for 

this interaction to be proportional to the density of states 

into which the electron can scatter. Phonon and thermal 

energies are small on the scale of electronic energies and 

the final state energy is near to E,, so the coupling is 

proportional to the electronic density of states at E,. The 

strength of the electron-phonon interaction is 

conventionally measured by the dimensionless parameter 

h, called the mass enhancement or coupling parameter. 

Accordingly, one should expect h at the Be(0001) surface 

to be near unity, four times larger than the bulk value 

It has been shown that angle resolved photoemission 

(ARP) can be used to determine hs for crystalline metal 

The basic idea is that, under proper conditions, 

the observed width of a surface state peak is equal to h/Z, 

where z is the lifetime of the surface state hole excitation. 

Since virtually all of the temperature dependence of z is 

in the phonon contribution, a measurement of the 

temperature dependence of the surface state width is 

effectively a measurement of the temperature dependence 

of the phonon contribution to the hole lifetime. At high 

temperatures and small hole energies the temperature 

dependence of the phonon contribution to the inverse 

hole lifetime is given by h/z =2 7chkT. In this limit, h is 

just 2nk times the slope of the peak width vs. temperature 

curve, and is easily measured. 

We have used ARE' to determine h, at the Be(0001) 

surface and find that A,= 1.15, more than four times larger 

h,=O .24.

temperatures. The momentum is 0.89 A-l, 

the hole energy is 0.35 eV, and the photon 

energy is 15 eV. The open circles are the

counts in the peak. The line is a fit to a

below. 

It is common for large values of h to he associated 

with high superconducting T,,’s, especially in niatcrinls 

such as Be with large phonon energies. If the surface is 

considered as a thin film with high h on a thick substrate 

with low h, the proximity effect would destroy any 

observable interesting effects. However, it was shown by 

Suhl, Matthias, and Walker’” that different branches of 

the Fermi surface - for which surface and bulk states 

qualify - could have different superconducting energy 

gaps. In the limit ofa semi-infinite solid the two branches 

are essentially ~iti~o~ipled and the surface states are allowed 

superconduct independent of the bulk. Application of 

the McMillan forniiila using bulk phonons to estimate 

the siipcrconducting transition tenipcraturc yields 70K 

for the surface transition temperature. 

lni~~~iritics/dcfccts will likely play ;i more iniportnnt 

role in dcstahilizing this system than they do in 

homogeneous superconductors. The prohlcm is that the 

impurities scatter surface starcs into bullc st;itcs, the otic 

electron cigenstates hcconic lincnr combin:itions of siirf;icc 

and bulk states, and tlic pairing interaction is ;ivcrqcd 

over surface and hulk. Since the interaction in the bull< 

is weak, any avernsing will qiiicl<ly destroy 

superconductivity at the surface. It is known t1i;it two 

band effects are destroyed if the mcnn free ptli is sliorter 

than the superconducting cohcrcncc IcngthlOl. For the 

Be(0001) surface, assuming a 70K T(., k,, is about MOA. 

A mean free path as large as this is difficult to achieve on 

a metal sur6icc. Honww, only the interhatid (sur6icc to 

bulk) scattering should contribute to the avclaging. Since 

the surface state DOS is much larger than the hulk st;itc

Characterizing Interfacial Magnetic Roughness 

J. Freeland and Y. ldzerda (NRL) 

Industrial production of magnetic devices and 

media (computer hard disks, read/write heads, magnetic 

memory, etc.) is undergoing an explosion in size similar 

to that experienced by the semiconductor industry a 

decade ago. However, many effects that are not well 

understood plague the behavior of these systems. One of 

essential importance is the disorder of magnetic moments 

at the interface (i.e. magnetic roughness). Since these 

magnetic devices consist of thin layers (+ 10.’ cm) of 

ferromagnetic (FM) and non-magnetic (NM) materials, 

roughness at the boundary between the FM and NM 

materials can dramatically alter the magnetic behavior. 

Recently our group (John Freeland, Varoujan Chakarian, 

Konrad Bussmann, Yves Idzerda, and Chi-Chang Kao) 

at the NRL/NSLS Magnetic Circular Dichroism Facility 

(located at beamline U4B of the NSLS) has been studying 

the interdependence of magnetic and chemical 

interfaces. 

We find that the magnetic and chemical roughnesses 

of a NM/FM interface are distinctly different. This 

means that to obtain a full picture of how roughness 

influences the magnetic properties, one must obtain 

information concerning both the magnetic and chemical 

interfaces. The formalism for the determination of the 

nature of chemical interfaces and surfaces using specular 

and off specular (diffuse) scattering is a well established 

field, but only recently has it become possible to directly 

probe the magnetic interface. To probe information about 

a magnetic interface one needs a significant magnetic 

scattering signal. One way of providing this is through 

the resonant enhancement of the magnetic and chemical 

scattering when an incident circular polarized photon is 

tuned to an absorption edge, known as x-ray resonant 

magnetic scattering (XRMS). Utilization of a circular 

polarized photon, like its absorption counterpart 

Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD), generates the 

magnetic scattering component. By measuring sample 

rocking curves at the L, absorption edge, we can extract 

information concerning not only the chemical but also 

the magnetic interface.

Figure M-12: Sample rocking curve measured at the Co L, (778 eV) for chemical 

and magnetic contributions vs. 9,. This scan was taken at a detector angle 28 of 

90. Notice how the half width if the magnetic diffuse (GM) is smaller than that of 

the chemical diffuse (GC) indicating a longer correlation length, x, for the magnetic 

interface. 

2-57 
To explore how an NM/FM interface varies with 

roughness we utilized a series of CoFc thin films where 

an increasing chemical roughness was induced through 

the growth process. Figure M-12 shows the chemical 

and the magnetic contributions to a sample rocking 

(diffuse) scan measured at the Co L, edge. From the 

analysis of these rocking curves we find a distinctly 

diffcrcnt behavior of both perpendicular (s) and in-pl.ine 

(x) roughness for the chemical vs. magnetic interfaces. 

To test tlic interdependence of the chemical and magnetic 

roughness we have measured a series of sample5 with 

varying chemical roughness, as determined by Atomic 

Force Microscopy (AFM), where the roughness variation 

is generated by a thickness variation in Cu growth 

template prior to magnetic multil;iycr deposition. As seeti 

in Figure M-13, the magnetic roughness in this series of

roughness. The same is sccii for tlic behavior of the 

chemical vs. magnetic correlation length (bottom patiel 

of Figure M-13). This indicates that the magnetic 

interf'ice is typically much smoother thnn the chcmical 

interfcice both perpendicular and in the plane of the film. 

These results illustrate clearly that otic cannot understnnd 

the influence of roughness by only exploritig the chemical 

interface. Not all magnetic properties arc affected in the 

same \vny by interfacial disorder, so only by hwing tlic 

complete picture can we hegin to obtain an 

u ndc rs rand i rig.

2-58 
In addition to our work 

studying NMIFM interfaces, we are 

also trying to better our 

understanding of diffuse XRMS 

technique. Due the dramatic 

changes in the scattered intensity 

near the absorption edge, we 

undertook a study of the diffuse 

intensity not only as a function of 

q, but also energy of the incident 

photon. Figure M-14 shows the 

results of such a measurement. 

Notice in particular how by only 

changing the incident photon by a 

few eV the shape of the diffuse 

intensity (both magnetic and 

chemical) can be altered 

significantly. While these resonant 

changes appear very different they 

contain the same information 

concerning the interface. Analysis 

of this data will not only further our 

understanding of this technique, 

but will also provide a testing 

ground for theories of diffuse 

XRMS. 

Our current work has brought 

our understanding to a point where 

we stand on the threshold of being 

able to explore a wide variety of 

problems related to magnetic 

heterostructures of extreme interest 

to many facets of the magnetism 

community.

out by Bartolonic et nl. 1’1 An E2 (211 (4f) quadrupolar 

absorption channel was ohscrvcd for all the compounds 

studied. Encrgy scparation between the dominant El 

(2p (5d) dipole absorption energy and the weak E2 

absorption energy was also mcasurcd systematically. A 

doublc-pcakcd precdgc fcatiirc was observed for light rare 

earth ions, and was intcrprctcd as two intermediate states 

corresponding to the excitations of tlic two possil~le spins 

of the excited photoelectron. Detailed compnrison was 

also made with corresponding x-ray magnetic circular 

dichroism ( XMCD ) spectra to show that the origin of 

the low energy XMCD effect from all rare carth ions is 

due to E2 ahsorption channel, and that the sign change 

in the XMCD signal from light rare carth ions to heavy 

rare earth ions is dric to the doulc-peaked pic-cdgc

Bond-length Distortions in Strained Semiconductor Alloys 

J.C. Woicik (NIST) 

When a macroscopic body is acted upon by small 

external forces, its deformations are accurately described 

by the theory of elasticity[’]. Despite the maturity of this 

branch of theoretical physics, the microscopic distortions 

I bond length and bond angle I which govern the 

macroscopic behavior of the body are, in general, not 

well understood, particularly from an experimental point 

of view. Because the macroscopic-strain state of 

semiconductor layers can be accurately determined by 

bulk-sensitive techniques such as x-ray diffraction, 

strained-layer semiconductors offer a unique vehicle with 

which to study these microscopic distortions 

quantitatively. 

In order to address the issue of bond-length strain, 

have performed high-resolution extended x-ray 

absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurments at the 

In-K absorption edge (27,940 eV) on a well characterized, 

buried, 2 13 A Ga,,,,Ino,2,As layer grown coherently on 

GaAs(OO1). Figure M-15 shows the EXAFS from the 

strained layer. These data were recorded at beamline 

X18B using a Si(ll1) 

channel-cut monochromator 

and a 13 element Ge solidstate detector set to monitor 

the In-K, fluorescence yield. 

Also shown is the EXAFS 

from bulk Ids, recorded in 

transmission. Both are 

plotted with their Fourierfiltered first-shell 

contributions, which 

correspond to the In-As bond 

lengths. 

To obtain quantitative 

information, the data from 

the layer were fit by the 

function kX(k) using the 

phase and amplitude 

functions derived from the 

bulk InAs standard. The fit 

determines r’InAs = 2.581 & 

0.004 A. Because the bond 

length in bulk InAs is 2.623 

A, the In-As bond length in 

the strained layer is found 

contracted 0.042 f. 0.004 A 

relative to the In-As bond 

length in bulk InAs. 

In their pioneering study, Mikkelson and Boy~e[~] 

used EXAFS to measure the bond lengths in bulk 

GaIexInxAs alloys. They found that, instead of following 

the virtual-crystal approximation (VCA), 

the In-As and Ga-As bond lengths maintain two 

chemically distinct values. Although these distinct values 

do vary linearly with alloy composition, this variation is 

only about a quarter (- 0.04 A) of the natural bond-length 

difference between bulk InAs (ToInAs = 2.623 A) and bulk 

GaAs (ToGaAs = 2.448 A). Using the accurate data of 

Mikkelson and Boycel3l, the In-As and Ga-As bond 

lengths in a bulk (cubic) Ga,-JnxAs alloy with In content 

22% are rIds = 2.596 A, and rGds = 2.455 A, respectively. 

The In-As bond length measured in the strained layer, 

tIdS = 2.581 f 0.004 A, is significantly shorter than this 

value. In fact, it is even shorter than the In-As bond 

length measured by Mikkelson and Boy~e[~] in the dilute0.2

alloy limit, rlnA, = 2.588 A for x -+ 0; consequently, it 

must reflect the external compressive strain imposed on 

the layer by the substrate: Ar = - 0.01 5 k 0.004 A. 

Because the latticc constant of InAs is 7% larger 

than the lattice constant of GaAs, pseudomorphic growth 

of a Gal-xInxAs alloy on GaAs(OO1) results in a laycr that 

is compressed bilaterally within the (001) plane of the 

substrate and Poisson expanded uniaxially along thc [OOI] 

growth direction. From macroscopic-elastic thcory141, the 

fractional strain of the film parallel to the interface, E,, = 

( a,, - a, )/a,, is related to the fractional strain of the film 

perpendicular to the interface, E, = ( a, - a, )/at, through 

the elastic constants cI I and cI, of thc film, its cubic latticc 

constant a,, and the coherency condition a,, = a(,azI: 

Because the layer is tetragonally distorted, the 

average virtual-crystal bond length is no longcr equal to 

A3/4af; however, it may be computed from 

r’ = 1 /4 ( 2 a,,’ + a )IiL. (3 

Using a,, = at + Aa,, and a, = a, + Aal , it is easily 

shown that to first order in E 

Bccausc equation 4 describes the distortion of thc 

/rzmqr bond length in the layer, a fiirthcr assumption 

about the t&tivc distortions is nccdcd bcforc thc bond 

lengths can be calculated individually. If wc assunic that 

thc In-As and Ga-As bond Icngths changc by thc samc 

amount despite their inequivalent bond lengths, Eq. 4 

together with macroscopic-elastic thcory (Eq. 1) renders

alloys on GaAs(O01). The calculation was performed by relaxing the atoms within sixteen-bond Ga,Jn,As clusters (j 

= 0,1,2,3,4) embedded in virtual-crystal media. The bond lengths were calculated as a function of medium composition 

x and then statistically averaged. The Keating valence-force generalized for the pseudobinary alloy, was used 

to model the interactions within the clusters: 

AE = Zs 3/8 as ( rs2 - rs,02 )2 + ZsCl Et 3/8 p S,f ( rs .rt - rs,o.rt,o )’.

The as’s are the two-body radial-force constants, and the P,,’s are the three-body angular-force constants. The 

rs’s are the bond vectors between atoms with equilibrium distance rs,O; i.e., the natural In-As and Ga- As bond lengths. 

Figure M- 16 shows the resulting statistically-averaged In-As and Ga-As bond lengths for cubic clusters (dashed lines) 

and for clusters that have been tetragonally distorted in accordance with Eq. 1 (solid lines). The results of the 

calculation are in excellent agreement with the bulk measurements of Mikkelson and BoyceL3] and the results of the 

present study, thereby confirming the uniform nature of the bond- length distortion. H

The N -+ A Transition from Simultaneous Measurements 

The LEGS Collaboration - Beamline X5 

The Laser Electron Gamma Source facility (LEGS) 

provides intense, polarized, monochromatic y-ray beams 

by Compton backscattering laser light from relativistic 

electrons circulating in the X-Ray Ring of the National 

Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National 

Laboratory. Such a beam has a high degree ofpolarization 

(typically -30%) with very low background and the 

energies of tlie photons arc well determined by measuring 

the loss of energy of the struck electrons(+I Yo). Photon 

energies up to 333 MeV can be obtained with the present 

laser shining on 2.58 GeV electrons. With a new 

frequency-quadrupled laser that is now being installed 

and 2.8 GeV stored electrons, photon energies up to 470 

MeV will be obtained. 

LEGS has its high degree of polarization because 

the interaction of the laser photons with relativistic 

electrons preserves the polarization of the photons. By 

orienting the linear or circular polarization of the laser to 

give the desired polarization for the y-raj., ’5 nieasurements 

can isolate specific contributions to nuclear reaction 

amplitudes. If the linear polarization (direction of the 

electric field vector) is in the plane of the reaction, the 

cross section is sensitive to electric multipole moments. 

This cross section is denoted as oII. If the linear 

polarization is perpendicular to tlie reaction plane, the 

cross section is sensitive to magnetic multipole moments. 

This cross section is symbolized by o~. The data is usually 

presented in term ofoll/o, or oI1- o1, or as the asymmetry 

C = (0 - o,)/(o + o~). Comparing these cross sections 

allows for the separation of effects due to static charge 

distributions from those due to spin and current 

distributions. Thus, this polarization degree of freedom 

is extremely important in the understanding of nucleon 

and nuclear structure. 

Since 1990, experiments have concentrated on single 

polarization observables (polarized beams on iinpolnrized 

targets) in nuclear reactions involving the A resonance. 

The A resonance is the first excited state of the nucleon 

with an energy of 294 MeV above the mass of the proton 

and a width of 120 MeV. It decays with a 99.4% branch 

to pion-nucleon (nN) final states and a 0.6%) branch to 

I1 II 

yN. By studying photon induced nuclcnr reactions in 

the energy region of this excitation, it is possihlc to 

measure fiindanicntul qiiantitics such ;is the deformation 

of the A? to test models describing the intcrnnl striictiirc 

of the nticlcon and the A and the trnnsition hctwc.cn them, 

and to study thc effccts of A’s produccd inside of nuclei. 

Highlights of this year’s resiilts arc given below. An 

updated status of I.EGS, including recent puhlicntions, 

is available on the World Wide Wch at http:// 

The properties of tlic transition from the nucleon 

to its first excited state, the A( 1232) rcsotxincc, serve ;is ;i 

bench mark for models of niiclcon structure. An 

important ingrcdicnt in niost quark models is ;I tensor 

interaction that mixes quark spins with their relative 

motion. This results in D-wavc coniponcnt~ which hrc;il< 

spherical symmetry, leading to a static deformation for 

the A, and to a small electric quadrupole transition 

strength, E2, that competes with the dominnnr niagnctic 

dipole, MI, quark spin-flip transition in N+A photoexcitation. This resonance trnnsition is described hy two 

helicity amplitudes, A.,,, and A,,,,, which depend on the 

E2/M1 mixing ratio (EMR). In simple sphcricnl models 

of the nucleon their ratio is simply 43, while tlic prcscncc 

of a D-wave component results in the correction 

A.,,,/A,,, z 43 (1 - 4 EMR). 

The first precision mcnsuremcnts of this ratio were 

made at the Laser Electron im am ma Source (I,EGS)l’l, 

and a fit of these data to the model par;inieters of 

Davidson, Mukhopadhyay and Wittnian (1)MW)I‘I gave 

an EMR of-2.7 Yo1”. This EMR w;is significantly 1;irgcr 

than the conventional Particle Data Group (PDG) v;iluc 

of -1 .50/oi’!, and implies a - 10%) correction to A,,,2/A,,2. 

At a given energy, a niininnuni of 7 (and 111’ to 9) 

independent obscrvablcs arc necessary to specify the 

photo-pion aniplitt~dcl~!. Such complctc inForniarion is 

not available and previous annlyscs hnvc relied alniost 

exclusively on only four, the cross section and the three 

single polarization asymmctrics, C (lincnrly polarized 

beam), T (target) and I’ (recoil nucleon). ‘I’hc 7~” and 7~’

complication of independent systematic errors. In our 

current work,p($c),p(.Tifn+) andp($y) cross sections 

and beam asymmetries have all been measured in a single 

experiment and a dispersion calculation of Compton 

scattering has been used to provide two new constraints 

on the photo-pion multipoles. 

Both Compton scattering and .no-production have 

a proton and at least one photon in their final states. We 

have made the first complete separation of these two 

processes. The two reactions were distinguished by 

comparing their y-ray and proton-recoil energies. High 

energy ?I-rays were detected in a large NaI(T1) crystal, 

while recoil protons were tracked through wire chambers 

and stopped in an array of plastic scintillators. By 

measuring more kinematic parameters than are required 

to specify the reaction, all detector efficiencies are 

determined directly from the data itself. 

Near the A peak (= 320 MeV photon energy), the 

spin-averaged .no, TC+, and Compton cross sections found 

here are consistently higher than earlier measurements 

from Bonn['-'], while for energies lower than +270 MeV 

substantial agreement is obtained. We present here results 

at 323 MeV and 265 MeV as examples. Angular 

distributions for p(z c),p(g n+) andp(3 y) are shown 

with their measurement uncertainties as solid circles in 

the figure. All cross sections are locked together with a 

common systematic scale uncertainty, due to possible flux 

and target thickness variations, of 2%. 

In the center panel of Figure N-1, 7~+ cross sections 

from Tokyo['] are shown as cross-hatched squares. These 

are in good agreement with the present work. In the 

right panel, two recent Compton measurements from 

Mainz at 90" and 75" are shown as open These 

data sets are in quite good agreement with the present 

work over our full energy range. As discussed in Ref. [ 14}, 

earlier 90" Compton cross sections from Bonn[151 are 

about 28% too low in the vicinity of the A peak. Whatever 

the error in that early experiment, it is likely to be common 

to all angles measured with the same detector. The Bonn 

results are shown here, rescaled by 1.28 (open squares). 

To obtain a consistent description of these results 

we have performed an energy-dependent analysis, 

expanding the .n-production amplitude into electric and 

magnetic partial waves. Once the (y, 7~ ) multipoles are 

specified, the imaginary parts of the six Compton helicity 

amplitudes are completely determined by unitarity, and 

dispersion integrals can be used to calculate their real 

parts.

Fitting the parameters of thc (y,~) multipoles by 

minimizing x2 for both prcdicted (y,~) and (y,y) 

observables allows the extraction of the EMR. In this fit 

we have usedp(2 c), p(2 n) andp( zy) cross sections 

only from the present experiment, since these are locked 

together with a small common scale uncertainty, and 

augmented our beam asymmetry data with other 

published polarization ratios in which systematic errors 

tend to cancel. 

The predictions from the (y,~) multipoles 

determined in this fit are shown in the figurc as pairs of 

solid curves to indicate the corrcsponding uncertainty

The EMR for N+ A is -0.0296 H.0021. The 

fitting errors reflects all statistical and systematic 

uncertain ties. Com bi n ing model u n certa i n t i es in 

quadrature leads to our final results given in Figure N-2 

along with the values accepted by the Particle Data group 

for comparison. 

Other information on the structure of the nucleon 

can be extracted from these data and this work is in 

progress. In particular, when placed in a strong static 

electric or magnetic field, a proton or neutron will 

experience an internal rearrangement of the quarks and 

gluons. An electric field will induce a dynamic electric 

dipole moment by separating the positive and negative 

quarks and a magnetic field will produce a dynamic 

magnetic dipole moment by separating the currents and1 

or spins of the quarks. The measure of the ease with 

which these internal rearrangements can be done is called 

the electric, magnetic, or spin polarizability. 

Determination of the polarizabilities of the neutron 

require a neutron target. Since thc free neutron is not a 

stable particle, deuterium the lightest isotope of hydrogcn 

is commonly used to provide a quasi-frcc neutron. Here 

2-66 

the single proton and ncutron arc bound by only 2.2 MeV, 

minimizing the corrcctions nccessary to go from thc 

bound neutron to thc frec ncutron. 

Since the initial photon and neutron havc no chnrgc, 

a dctcctor is rcquircd that has a good efficiency for ncutral 

particlc in the final state (x” which dccays to Zys, y-rays, 

and ncucrons) as will as charged particles. to provide thc 

neutral particlc efficicncy and thc angular covcragc for 

charged and uncharged particles, a ncw dctcctor has bccn 

commissioned. SASY, thc Spin-ASYmnictry dctcctor 

array provides complctc dctcrmination of angle, encrgy, 

and particle identity for all rcactions induccd by photons 

on hydrogen and deuterium over thc cntirc cncrgy rangc 

planned for LEGS. SASY will consist of scvcral “layers” 

designed to fulfill thcsc rcqiiircnicnts. 

The construction of SASY is bcing donc in two 

phascs. For the first set of cxpcrinicnts to measure thc 

electric and magnetic polariznbility of thc neutron, only 

the major calorimetry subsystcms will be instrumcntcd: 

the XTAL BOX (an army of 432 Nnl(TI) crystals) covering 

all azimuthal angles for scattcring anglcs bctwccn nhout 

40” and 130°, thc forward nciitron wall of plastic 

scintillator consisting of thrcc layers of IO cni x IO cni x 

1.6 m bars, and thc wall of I76 Pb-glass Ccrcnkov 

counters. The second phasc will add thc capability to track 

charged particles through a largc volumc magtictic ficld 

thereby permitting the idcntification of thc sign of thc 

charge. This is crucial for thc thc next phase of LEGS in 

which doublc-polarization data will he obtained from thc 

polarized hydrogen and deuterium using the a novel, 

polarized HD target. This is now in thc dcvclopmcnt stagc 

and initial expcrimcnts (without tracking) will begin in 

the summcr of 1998. 

Measurement of Conipton scattcring from thc 

neutron occupied most of calendar 1997. Thcsc data arc 

presently being analyzcd.

hcgm his remarks by addressing recent statements in the 

press by DOE Assistant Secretary Tira O’Toole (see, for 

example. Science News, Vol. 1 5 1, p. 284, May 10, 1997) 

that the highly publicized deficiencies in Environment, 

Safety ;ind Health at BNL were the fault of users. Dr. 

Schwartz strongly defended the users. He then solicited 

rhcir comments and observations during this time of 

change :it DNL. 

The U.S. Department of Energy was represented 

hy the Associate Director of Energy Research for the 

Office of Basic Energy Sciences. I’atricia M. Dehmer. In 

light of the two previous spc:ikers’ remarks. she began 

her remarks by assuring the audience that during all thc 

upheaval associated with BNL‘s problcms there has been

one constant: “the high rcgard” for the NSLS, its 

users, and the qii:ility of their science. She then 

went on to outline the organizational structure 

ofthc DOE. pointing out that the Basic Encrgy 

Sciences (BES) hudgct is roughly equal to that 

of the National Science Foundation. but that BES 

tiinds thrcc times the ;iiiioiitit of physical science 

rcscarch and most of the major user facilities in 

the country. She urged the audience to 

communicate with BES (BES@oer.doe.gov) 

answering the question, “How has your discipline 

been affected by synchrotron radiation and how 

would it be affected b!, the lack of it?” 

Next, Larry Dubois, director of DARPA/ 

DSO, gave an overview of materials research from 

a DARPA perspective. Emphasizing the potential 

applications, he cited iii situ studies of fuel cells, 

studies of “relaxor” piezo-electric materials, and 

x-ray patterning of materials as examples of areas 

where synchrotron x-ray techniques might be of 
interest to DARPA. 

The last speaker of the morning was Michael 

Hart, Chairman of the NSLS. His remarks were 

focused primarily on the BESAC review panel on 

synchrotron radiation facilities which would be visiting 

NSLS on June 25 and 26. Part of the review will be 

presentations by NSLS users. He requested the 

continued assistance of the user community during 

this review process. 

In dramatic contrast to the morning session, the 

afternoon was devoted to scientific talks spanning the 

wavelength spectrum from the far infra-red through 

the ultra violet into the hard x-ray region. Albert J. 

Sievers led off, discussing the coherent generation of 

I ’? 

FIR and describing experiments he has performed L 

using the at In these experiments, Bede Scientific Instruments conversing at the User 

he used FIR as a diagnostic probe to measure the profile 

of the electron bunch. As part of his presentation, he

walked the audience through a very clear explanation 

of how one uses Kramers-Kronig relations to solve the 

phase problem in time/frequency Fourier transforms. 

Robert Bartynski spoke next on his coincidence 

spectroscopy measurements of TiO,. The basic idea of 

the technique is to trigger off of a core level photo-electron 

and then require the coincidence of a particular Auger 

electron associated with the death of the core hole. 

Requiring the coincidence gives the technique both 

elemental and valence sensitivity and the low background 

enables one to determine defect densities on the order of 

2%. Data illustrating the effects of different surface 

preparations on the densities of point defects with 

particular Ti valence states were presented.

Thomas Gog discussed his recent work on MultiEnergy X-ray Holography, presenting reconstructed 

images of several different systems. Although the 

technique is still at an early stage of development, the 

potential to produce atomic resolution real-space images 

was tantalizing. He discussed several current technical 

challenges yet to be overcome, including developing a 

better understanding of the effects ofwavelength filtering 

on the numerical Fourier transform. 

The last speaker of the afternoon, Donald Weidner 

described his work using x-ray diffraction at high pressures 

and temperatures to study the phase diagram of materials 

found in the Earth‘s crust. He related that work to a 

self-consistent mathematical model which explains 

an anomaly in the frequency distribution of deep 

earthquakes. 

Two other important features of the Users’ 

Meeting were the scientific poster session, with a 

reception at the Brookhaven Center, and the 

equipment exhibit in the Lobby of Berkner Hall. 

Both were popular with the users, providing an 

opportunity to get a preview of some of the latest 

work performed at the NSLS and to see some of the 

new equipment available from suppliers. 

The election of the NSLS UEC occurred during 

lunch. Paul Stevens, Barbara Illman and John Parise 

were elected as general members. The SPIG 

representatives will be elected by e-mail ballot after 

the meeting. On Wednesday, in executive session, 

the UEC chose John Parise to be its Vice-Chair 

(Chair-Elect). W

The Im act of New Detector 

Technoroy on Synchrotron Macromo ecular Crystallography 

Malcolm Capel (Brook h aven Nation a I Lab oratory, Biology) 

The goals of the workshop, held on May 19, 1997, 

was to summarize recent developments in imaging x-ray 

detector technology (predominantly CCD’s) and to 

discuss issues related to their capabilities and performance 

in regard to macromolecular crystallography as practiced 

at x-ray synchrotrons. Leaders in the fields of CCD 

detector, crystallography software and x-ray heanilinc 

development gave presentations to an audience of 

approximately 45 registered attendees. 

Ed Westbrook, director of the Structural Biology 

Center (SBC) at Argonnc National Laboratory discussed 

the status of the Advanced Photon Source Sector I3 SRC 

beamline and its 3x3 CCD array detector, developed 

jointly by the SBC and Steve Naday ofAN1,’s Electronics 

and CommunicationsTechnology division. This detector 

(known as the APS-I) is constructed from 3 CCD-optical 

fiber taper cells, and has an active area 20x20 cni in size, 

with 3000 x 3000 pixels, reads out in 3.3 seconds and is 

capable of resolving approximately 280 diffraction orders 

from protein crystals. The SBC beaniline presently is 

capable of producing a beam with a flux of 3 x 

m o ti o ch ro m a t i c photo tis /seco ti d / ni ni ’ (0.0 1 Yo 

bandpass). Complete, fine phi-sliced rotation data sets 

can be acquired from lysozyme in ahout 20 minutes with 

merging statistics around the 2-3% level. 

Bob Sweet (NSLS X12C, BNL Biology) provided 

a synopsis of the design and working principals of the 

mosaic CCD crystallography detector design and a 

historical summary of various CCD detectors trialcd at 

the NSLS X12C crystallography bcamlinc. Marry 

Stanton (Brandeis University) described his group’s CCI) 

detector development with special emphasis oti a 

programmable CCD controllcr/sequcnccr designed by his 

group for dynaniical diffraction studies with musclc. Fxic 

Eikenherry (Princeton University) discussed design and 

testing of a prototype solid-state pixel-array detector, the 

likely successor technology to CCD’s in crystallography 

and synchrotron-based diffruction studies. 

The afternoon session of the worl<shop was 

dedicated to discussion ofsofttwre topics. ‘I’hc high speed,

Biological and Chemical 

Applications of EXAFS 

Spectroscopy 

Dr. Mark R. Chance 

(Albert Einstein College of Medicine) 

A workshop entitled “Biological and Chemical 

Applications of EXAFS Spectroscopy” was held at the 

National Synchrotron Light Source on May 21, 1997. 

EXAFS is one of the most widely used techniques at the 

NSLS and the presentations highlighted recent research 

from four of the major groups performing EXAFS at the 

facility. The first presentation however, was from Dr. Frank 

de Groot of the University of Gronigen entitled “Multiplet 

Effects in Core Level Spectroscopies”. The interesting 

initial question answered by Dr. de Groot concerned the 

necessity of multiplet analysis. It is well known that single 

scattering can work well in describing spectral data. In 

the case of L-edge spectroscopy, the 2p-3d interactions 

are very strong and the single particle approximation 

breaks down. Dr. de Groot provided a description and 

an analysis of results using atomic multiplet theory, where 

electron-electron interactions determine the multiplets 

and spin-orbit couplings determine the fine structure. 

Introduction of crystal field splittings provided satisfactory 

molecular simulations providing values of ligand field 

strength, high or low spin and valency. Further 

information on the programs is available at http:// 

vsfl . phys. rug. nl/ - degroot. 

Professor Dale Sayers from North Carolina State 

University, gave a talk entitled “XAS Determination of 

Chemical Speciation of Heavy Metals”. Dr. Sayers’ 

presentation highlighted the magnitude of the 

environmental problem presented by heavy metals and 

the keen ability of XAS to probe the structure of these 

metals in soil samples. The first example determined the 

efficacy of hydroxyapatite treatment in the remediation 

of lead in soil samples, which can successfully sequester 

the lead as an insoluble form. A second analysis of lead 

waste from batteries determined the degree of conversion 

of lead oxide to lead sulfide forms (the latter being 

relatively insoluble). XAS was very powerful in 

determining the metal environment. Dr. Sayers also briefly 

spoke about the International XAS Society, more 

information can be found at http://ixs.iit.edu 

Professor James Penner-Hahn of the University of 

Michigan gave a talk entitled “Structural Characterization 

of Organometallic Reagents”, providing interesting results 

refuting the presumed existence of higher order cuprates 

and providing a better understanding of phenyl copper 

complexes with very precise titration data. 

Professor Mark Chance from the Albert Einstein 

College of Medicine illustrated a number of applications 

of FEFF to analyzing structure in biological systems. A 

program called AUTOFIT 1.0 was outlined that can 

automatically iterate crystal structure data, simulate the 

resultant FEFF spectra, and compare the simulations to 

experimental data in order to map different possible 

solutions in an evenhanded fashion. Further information 

on the programs can be found at http:// 

beam.aecom.yu.edu/phys&bio/csb 1 .htm 

Ms. Lijun Shu from the University of Minnesota 

finished the talks with a discussion of “Diamond Core” 

structures (Fe,O,) in enzymes like methane monoxygenase 

and ribonucleotide reductase. The Fe-Fe distances for 

some of the high valent intermediates were as short as 

2.4 A. 

Lastly, Dr. Lars Furenlid of the NSLS provided a 

demonstration of the 100 element solid state detector 

that was set up at beamline X9B on the NSLS floor. As 

the workshop attendees clustered about the beamline we 

were immensely impressed with the miniaturization of 

the detector elements (30-40 times smaller than 

conventional solid state detector elements). W

X-ray Computed Microtomogra hy : 

Applications 8 + echniques 

Betsy Dowd 

(Brookhaven National Laboratory, NSLS) 

The availability ofsynchrotron X-ray sources to the 

scientific community sparked the first explosion in the 

development of the field of X-ray Computed 

Microtomography (XCMT). More recently, 

technological advances in two-dimensional detector 

arrays, combined with the recent boom in available 

parallel architecture computing technology, have lifted 

the XCMT field to another level. Talks at this workshop 

highlighted the impact of these technological advances 

on a variety of applications of XCMT, from the medical 

to the metallurgical fields. 

A detailed synopsis of the rapid progression of 

Exxon’s X-ray CMT facility at the NSLS over the past I5 

years, in parallel with improved detector, processor, and 

3-D visualization technology, was given by John 

Dunsmuir (Exxon Corp.). John and his team now 

routinely use XCMT to characterize reservoir sandstone 

pore geometries. 

Per Spannc (ESRF) discussed XCMT applications 

and advances at the ESRF. By parallelizing I G computers, 

the group at ESRF has significantly reduced the 

reconstruction time for tomographic volumes. Per and 

his colleagues at the ESRF have also used the high 

coherence of the ESRF X-ray source to make phase 

contrast CMT measurements. 

Chris Jacobsen (SUNY, Stony Brook) presented 

schemes for soft X-ray submicron resolution tomography. 

Zhong Zhong (NSLS) and Avrahani Dilmanian (BNL, 

Medical Dcpt.) proposed a plan for Diffraction Enhanced 

Computed Tomography fo r 13 io Io g i c a I ti s s ii e

The present status and recent applications of the

FS Forest Products Lab., U. of Wisconsin) has obtained 

CMT volumes of bcctlcs and wood at this facility and 

spoke about her application of CMT to the study of 

fun sa I deterioration of wood. Sheng- Ro ng So 11 g (Geology 

Dept., National Taiwan U.) spoke about his investigations 

into volcanic rock, using CMT data he collected at the 

NSLS facility. 

Brent Lindquist (SUNY, Stony Brook) gave an 

entertaining and informative tutorial on his 3-1) Mcdinl

pore geometries from tomographic data of rocks. For the

Inelastic and Resonant Inelastic 

X-Ray Scattering 

Chi-Chang Kao 

(Brookhaven National Laboratory, NSLS) 

Inelastic x-ray scattering has long been recognized 

as a potentially important experimental probe of electron 

and lattice dynamics in condensed matter systems. 

Recently, several dedicated high resolution (total energy 

resolution from 0.1 eV to 1.0 eV) and ultra-high 

resolution (total energy resolution from 1 meV to 10 

meV) inelastic scattering beamlines have become 

operational around the world. The latest experimental 

results from these beamlines as well as various theoretical 

aspects of inelastic x-ray scattering were reported at the 

workshop. 

Denis McWhan (BNL) opened the workshop by 

giving a brief review of the major steps in the development 

of inelastic x-ray scattering. The relationship between 

inelastic x-ray scattering and inelastic scattering of visible 

light was discussed by Miles Klein (University of IllinoisUrbana/Champaign). Although he found little analogy 

between the two techniques, he did suggest several areas 

in which inelastic x-ray scattering might provide new 

information. He also reported recent visible light 

scattering studies on high temperature superconductors 

and related compounds. 

Inelastic x-ray scattering studies of many-body 

correlation effects in simple metals were reported by Ben 

Larson (Oak Ridge National Lab.) and John Hill (BNLPhysics). Ben Larson found that the measured local-field 

factors of Al are significantly larger those that obtained 

from a first principle theoretical calculation. To resolve a 

long standing controversy over the origin of the doublepeak feature in the inelastic scattering spectra of many 

materials, John Hill reported an inelastic x-ray scattering 

study of solid and liquid Li and Na, in which spectral 

features from band structure effects are separated from 

those due tomany-body effects. 

There were also several talks on resonant Raman 

scattering, or resonant inelastic scattering, studies on 

highly correlated systems. John Hill along with Eric Isaacs 

(Bell Laboratories) reported recent Cu K-edge resonant 

inelastic study of Nd,CuO, and Sr,CuO,Cl,, respectively. 

Trever Tyson (New Jersey Institute of Technology) 

presented high resolution Mn K-beta emission spectra of 

a series of doped LaMnO, compounds. On the theory 

side, Frank de Groot (University of Groningen, The 

Netherlands) presented an atomic-multiplet based model 

calculation for resonant Raman scattering. Very good 

agreement between theory and experimental results, 

ranging from soft-x-ray to hard-x-ray, were shown. 

In addition to the works done at the NSLS, 

Francesco Sette of the European Synchrotron Radiation 

Facility (ESRF) reported an ultra-high resolution inelastic 

x-ray scattering study of the high frequency collective 

dynamics of disordered systems, a region in the energymomentum phase space that cannot be accessed by 

inelastic neutron scattering. The status of the inelastic 

scattering beamline at the Advanced Photon Source 

(APS), and first results were reported by Albert 

Macrander..

Materials Characterization with 

Hard and Soft X-ray Reflectivity 

Michael Toney 

(IBM Almaden Research Center) 

Yves ldzerda (Naval Research Lab) 

Specular and diffuse X-ray reflectivity are popular 

methods for characterizing a variety of materials, including 

organic thin films, magnetic films and surfaces, and 

semiconducting materials. This motivated a one day 

workshop held May 19, 1337 in conjunction with the 

NSLS Users’ meeting. The purposes were to gather 

together novices and experts to discuss these methods and 

their applications, to educate newcomers on the power 

of these methods, and for the NSLS reflectivity 

community to discuss building an endstation dedicated 

to reflectivity. 

Professor Carol Thompson (ANL and Northern 

Illinois University) kicked off the workshop with an 

introduction to X-ray reflectivity, including a description 

of questions that could (and could not) be addressed and 

of important experimental requirements, such as 

spectrometer and sample alignment. She also emphasized 

that hard x-rays can be used under ambient conditions 

(e.g., in an electrolyte). Examples were given of layering 

of smectic liquid crystals on glass and of iii situ swelling 

of PMDA-ODA in NaOH. 

Paul Mansky (U. of Massachusetts) compared and 

contrasted x-ray rcflcctivity with neutron reflectiL ‘it ’ j 7 as 

applied to organic thin films. The advantages of isotopic 

substitution (D for H) were demonstrated, and the 

complementarity of using both x-ray and neutron 

reflectivity was illustrated. Data for polymer brushes 

(polymers bound to a surface at one end) showed how 

the polymers swelled with increasing temperature, 

consistent with theory. Paul also described studies of 

islands in di-block copolymer system$. 

This was followed by Eric Chasm’s (Sandia National 

Lab.) talk on in situ reflectivity studies of the evolution 

of thin film and surfxe morphology. Eric described an 

en e r g y d is p e r s i ve tech ti i q u e fo r t i m e re s o I vc d 

nieasiirements (ca. 25Osec data collcction time). He 

illustrated several examples, including compound 

formation during AI deposition on Cr/quartz, the 

formation of pits in porous silicon, the CVD growth of 

Fe on Si( IOO), and the surface roughening (smoothing) 

of quartz during ion bombardment with Xe (He). There 

was discussion of the possible advantages of synchrotron 

radiation for such studies and of the need for detectors 

with higher throughput. 

After a break for an enjoyable lunch and a change 

in energy range, Jack Rife (Naval Resenrch Lab.) talked 

about UV and soft x-ray reflectance characterization of 

semiconductor materials. He explained the technique and 

described the X24C reflectance setup. He then reviewed 

the application of this method to GaN and compared 

the experiments to theory with favorable agrcemcnt. This 

was followed by studies of radiation damage in SiO, 

through bombardment with 5cV neutral oxygen atoms 

(motivated by etching of surfaces of the space shuttle in 

low earth orbit). 

Gavin Watson returned to the hard x-ray regime 

with a discussion of x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity. 

After describing the technique and emphasizing that it is 

a resonant method, Gavin described the near-surfacc, 

antiferromagnetic ordering in UO,(OOI) and how this 

differs from bulk ordering. Gavin also showcd how this 

method could be used to understand the magnetism on 

Pt in Co,Pt, and in a brief excursion to lower energies, 

showed how the magnetic roughness in ColCu multil;iyers 

\vas less than the atomic roughness. 

3-8 
The emphasis on third row transition metals was 

continued by John Freeland (NSLS, U4B) whose talk 

was entitled “Materials Characterization with Resonant 

Soft X-rw Scattering”. John explained how this method 

was related to x-ray circular dichorism and resonant xr;iv scattering and how it could be used to obtain magnetic 

md atomic thickness and roughness. He showed the huge 

enhancements in cross sections that could be obrained 

for third row transition elements and described studies 

of switching in NiFe/Co sandwiches. This was followed 

by determinations of magnetic and chemical roughness 

in single Co films and CoFe multilayers. 

Near the end of the workshop, there was discussion 

of a possible endstation dedicated to reflectivity. In this 

arrangement, the NSLS would provide x-rays up to the 

hutch and the interested users would fund construction 

of the endstation. Jerry Hastings (NSLS) explained what 

had been done by the polymer SAXS community on 

X27C and sevsral speakers (Thompson, Watson, EvansLutterodt) described what they would like for such a 

reflectivity endstation. This would cost the interested users 

approximately $ZOO,OOO or more, and with enough 

support, could be constructed. After much discussion, it 

seems [here is insufficient funding in the user community 

present at the workshop (either academic or industrial) 

for the construction of such a beamline/endstation, 

although some NSLS staff members are actively interested 

in collaborating on reflectivity experiments and 

instrumentation.

VUV MACHINE 

Stephen Kramer 

VUV Ring Manager 

Figure 1 shows the breakdown of the VUV Ring 

operating statistics for the Fiscal Year 1997. The monthly 

breakdown of most significant operational performance 

statistics are presented in Figures 2 through 6. The 

operational statistics continue to show improvement 

above the record year of FY 1996. The fraction of the 

time during the year resulting in unscheduled downtime 

was only 1.5%. The probability that beam was not 

nvailable when it was scheduled for operations was only 

2.38%. However the total beam time actually delivered 

to the users was 6 hours greater than was scheduled, or 

100.1 YO ofscheduled. This resulted from the early return 

from maintenance and a reduction in accelerator study 

hours actually used. The accelerator performaqce 

continued to improve with higher injection rates and 

longer beam lifetimes. Injections are now routinely done 

in less than 3 minutes with the average approaching 2 

minutes. The beam lifetime had been lower due to higher 

vacuum resulting from the two openings of the ring 

during the year and due to vacuum leaks. However, from 

August through the end of the year the lifetime has 

exceeded the pre-shutdown values by about 8%. This 

was achieved despite the new gas load introduced by the 

new UI2IR mirror being inserted into the ring vacuum 

chamber and a leak in the front-ends of two beam ports. 

To help reduce the impact of these new gas loads, a new 

beam scrubbing shift (vacuum chamber conditioning 

shift) was introduced during the owl shift (0:OO to O8:OO) 

of the tivo day study period that occurs once ;i inoiith. 

This shift helps desorb the gas that was introduced by 

these new sourccs more rapidly than would occur during 

normal operations and helps reduce the base pressure of 

the ring. 

The major improvement to the VUV Ring during 

this fiscal year occurred during the winter shutdown when 

another large aperture beam port was installed for the 

U2IR beamline. The ceramic gap just after this beam 

chamber had started to leak during the fall 1996 and was 

also replaced during the winter shutdown of the ring. 

Despite the increased work load from the ceramic gap 

replacement, the effective planning of the Mechanical 

Group allowed the ring to be brought on four days early 

and scrubbing of the vacuum with beam to take place 

during the three day holiday weekend. This allowed 

operations to begin on schedule but with longer beam 

lifetime resulting from the reduced vacuum pressure. 

During the spring, a front-end valve started leaking in 

the half of the ring opened during the winter shutdown. 

This valve was replaced during the May shutdown 

requiring the same half of the vacuum chamber to be 

vented again. Recovery to pre-shutdown values of the 

beam lifetime required about the same integrated current 

as the winter shutdown, but since this vacuum work had 

not been anticipated, much of the beam scrubbing had 

to be done during operations. 

Other improvements in the ring resulted from 

changes in the damping of higher order mode of the main 

RF cavity and other changes in this RF control system. 

Testing began on the implementation of a fast RF 

feedback system on the main RF system. This system 

should suppress the noise introduced by that RF system 

on the beam and it appeared to work quite well when 

operated by itself. However, when the bunch lengthening 

RF system was also working the beam showed increased 

fluctuations and will require more work to allow these 

two systems ro work together. Other improvements were 

in the diagnostics of the electron and photon beams. New 

extended dynamic range Beam Position Monitor (BPM) 

receivers were installed on all ofrhe rings pickups. This 

will allow measurements of the beam position down to 

lower vrilues ofcurrcnt. This of little concern for normal 

operating currents but will help better understand the 

electron beam model for the ring by allowing 

measurements at low beam current. A new fast turn-toturn BPM measurement system was prototyped and the 

full system should be operational in FY 1998. This BPM 

will allow modeling of the non-linear properties of the 

electron beam. Other diagnostic improvements that are 

planned will help understand the fast beam fluctuations 

and how to reduce their impact on the users. 

The long awaited improvement in the VUV 

radiation shielding did not take place during FY 1997, as 

it was originally planned. This was due to the difficulty 

in finding suppliers of the heavy concrete shielding blocks. 

4- 2 
However, this supply difficulty has been overcome and 

the shielding is planned to be installed around half of the 

ring during the winter 1997-1998 shutdown. Once the 

improvement in the radiation levels in that half of the 

ring is measured the remainder of the shielding will be 

scheduled for a future shutdown. When the radiation 

shielding has been installed new studies of the Top-Off 

Method of Injection (TOMI) will be performed, in order 

to demonstrate that TOMI offers the users the ultimate 

improvement in beam stability over long time periods 

both from the source and the optics points ofview. TOMI 

will also eliminate the age old conflict between longer 

beam lifetime and higher brightness of the photon beam. 

To insure that the frequent injection pulses are not seen 

by the users, new shorter pulse kickers will be installed in 

FY 1998 to allow the injected beam to be added to the 

stored beam with minimum disturbance to the stored 

beam. 

During the next fiscal year studies will be carried 

out to increase the operating beam energy of the W 

Ring. This will continue the improvement in beam 

lifetime that has dominated the past improvements. In 

addition, studies are being carried out to develop methods 

of providing for real-time variation of the undulator gaps 

in the ring. Although this is common place on the high 

energy rings, the lower energy of the W Ring makes 

the impact of these gap changes more significant for the 

other users. The initial studies to control the orbit and 

betatron tunes proved insufficient and addition correction 

of horizontal-vertical coupling effects also will have to be 

compensated. H

In preparation for the December 1336 shutdown, 

water lines werc installed in Fall 1336 to bring BNL 

Central Chilled Water Facility (CCWF) water to the 

NSLS experimental water system in Mechanical 

Equipment Room A. Thc control valvc/controllcr 

installation for this system begin. This upgrade was 

designed to improve temperature regulation, with the 

present NSLS experimental water system providing 

redundancy in case the CCWF goes down for 

maintenance. Thc BNL CCWF connection to the NSLS 

experimental water system was completed during thc 

December 1936 shutdown, and temperature control of 

this system was upgraded. To maintain a redundant NSLS 

cooling capability in case the CCWF goes down, the old 

Baltimore cooling tower was replaced and plans were made 

to upgrade and expand its controls. Thc experimental 

water pump capacity was increased and spigots were 

installed for beamlines rcqiiiring enhanced cooling. 

Amajor effort during the December 1936 shutdown 

was the installation of 20 new beryllium windows to 

enable 350 niA operation in January 1337. New windows 

were installed on X3A, X4A, X6A, XI 2A, XI 2R, X12C, 

X13, X14A, X14R, X15A, X13C, X20A, X20C, X21, 

X22A, X23A, X23B, X25, X26A and X26C. Brazing 

and welding of the windows was done by Rriish Wcllman 

Electrofiision with the pieces being fabricated by RNI. 

Central Shops. An additional 20 windows were also 

received, which i ncluded the rem ai n i ng windows rcqu i red 

for 438 mA operation and at least otic spare window for 

each assembly type. Since the new windows had 5 mm 

vertical openings (as opposed to I0 mm for the old 

windows) , commissioning shifts were p rovi d cd i ti Ja ti it a ry 

1997 to the above beamlines to confirm that thc windows 

were properly surveyed into position. 

The dual hybrid RF power amplifier was installcd 

on RF System 2 in December 1336. Two 120 kW 

amplifiers arc combined in this system to enable 438 niA 

opcration and to prevent a beam dump ifone ofthc othcr

three RF systems drops out. After an initial 

commissioning period in January, the new dual 

transmitter on the RF2 cavity became operational. At 

present each of the transmitters is operating at half power 

(40-50 kw) with increased reliability. During the Spring 

1998 shutdown, a new all-copper cavity will replace the 

existing copper-clad steel cavity and a new copper 

coupling loop brazed to a beryllia ceramic window will 

allow the transmission of more than 150 kW into the 

cavity. This additional power will enable reliable 438 

mA operation at 2.584 GeV or 250 mA operation at 2.8 

GeV. Improved windows for the other RF systems were 

ordered. The new cavity has several desirable features. 

There are no welded ports or joints, cooling channels are 

machined in the outside skin, and there is an improved 

mushroom cooling. The cavity was shipped to the NSLS 

in September 1997, after an acceptance test in Germany. 

Operations commenced on the X-Ray Ring on 

January 23, 1997 at 350 mA. On February 1, there 

developed a water-to-vacuum leak in the RF1 cavity, 

causing the cavity pressure to jump from the IO-’’ Torr 

range to the mid lO-’’Torr range. Helium leak detection 

failed to identify which water-cooled component was 

leaking. At an emergency user meeting the decision was 

made to replace the RF coupling loop, the most likely 

defective component, during the February 10 - 11 studies 

period and to continue operating at 250 mA until that 

time using the other three RF cavities. The repair was 

carried out on February loth, followed by RF and beam 

conditioning on February 1 1 th. Operations resumed on 

schedule at noon on February 12th. By February 15th, 

conditioning with operational beam had lowered the 

cavity pressure to the IO-’’ Torr range. 

In February 1997, an effort to fully characterize the 

beamline shielding requirements at 2.8 GeV commenced. 

Studies periods were utilized for radiation surveys by 

S&EP personnel to record in detail which beamline 

components and hutch walls require additional shielding. 

The initial surveys were completed in April so that users 

could make use of the May shutdown period to shield. A 

21,000 pound shipment of (3’x5’~1/16“) sheets was 

delivered early in May, and a work area was set up outside 

the NSLS Stockroom for cutting the lead sheet. 

Procedures for handling the lead and discarding lead 

scraps, contaminated covering material, gloves and aprons 

were outlined in the April 16, 1997 NSLS ES&H 

Highlights. Users were encouraged to begin their 

shielding efforts early because obtaining final operational 

approval of the shielding was, in many cases, an arduous 

process requiring a series of radiation surveys followed by 

shielding efforts. Beamline personnel continued to use 

dedicated studies shifts to survey the effectiveness of 

additional lead shielding for 2.8 GeV operation. To 

expedite this process, beamlines having sufficiently low 

radiation levels were put on a list to operate in a “selfmonitoring” mode. In this mode users are able to 

immediately check newly-installed shielding and make 

required modifications. During the 2.8 GeV operations/ 

survey week of September 23-29,1997, the X-Ray Ring 

operated reliably with 230 mA fills. By the end of the 

week there were 34 beamlines operating in either the selfmonitoring mode or in an “approved” mode after a final 

survey indicated that all beamline components had levels 

less than 500 cpm on a Ludlum pancake Geiger counter. 

Self-monitoring lines were expected to continue their 

shielding efforts to the satisfy the 500 cpm requirement. 

During FY 1997 the horizontal and vertical digital 

feedback systems were prepared for operation. However 

these systems were not implemented because of a large 

horizontal chamber motion during a typical fill. To track 

the chamber motion, sensor stands will be installed and 

data acquired during operations from high sensitivity 

LVDT probes mounted on stands at various PUE 

locations. Carbon fiber tubes for the stands are expected 

to arrive in January 1998. Data acquired from the 

horizontal sensors measuring the ring chamber motion 

at each of the 48 PUEs during X-Ray fills, will be input 

to the digital feedback system to correct for this motion. 

During 1997 the algorithm of the global harmonic 

feedback system was changed to give a factor of two 

improvement in orbit stability. The programmable boards 

for the analog global feedback system were received. Initial 

studies were conducted on the low emittance lattice with 

the low emittance lattice response matrices successfully 

downloaded onto these boards. Studies of the new lattice 

will continue in order to check orbit stability and to 

increase the fill current to 440 mA. 

The major X-Ray Ring task during the May 1997 

shutdown was the removal of the PSGU(Prototype Small 

Gap Undulator) from the X13 straight and the installation 

of the IVUN(1n-Vacuum Undulator) which is a shortperiod magnet array (30.5 periods, with an 11 mm period 

length) developed at Spring-8. The associated vacuum 

chamber and mechanical systems were developed at the 

NSLS. IVUN is designed to produce 4.6 keV radiation 

in the fundamental, at a magnet gap of 3.3 mm, with 

useful photon fluxes in both the 2nd and 3rd harmonics. 

The magnet gap is adjustable between 2 mm and 10 mm. 

A number of other shutdown tasks were completed. 

Upgraded beryllium windows were installed on the X4C 

and X6B beamlines. The remaining 13 upgraded 

beamline windows required for high current (438 mA) 

operation will be installed during maintenance periods 

and the December 1997 shutdown. Safety metering 

4- 7 
transformers were installed on 480 Volt RF and magnet 

power siipplics to verify isolation from source p01vcr hcforc 

carrying out repair work. Also, the fiill cooling capal~ility 

of the NSLS high pressrire and low pressure copper \vatcr 

systems was restored after lieat cxchangers for these 

systems wcrc clcancd oiit. Finally, the helium cryotransfcr 

line for the XI 7 supcrconducting wiggler was replaced. 

allowing the XI 7 hcamlincs to rcsiinic operation oii June 

9th. A lcalting transfer line had shut these lines do\\.n 

since the middle ofApril. Subst;intial improvcnients were 

made on the X17 cryogenic system. I he two helium 

supply and rctiirn transfer lines to the rcfrigcrator were 

to tally rchuil t, tlicrcby el im i nn ring an erratic hca t leak. 

Another major prohlem was solved when a metal chip

UNdulntor) in the XI 3 straight section during the h4;ry

VUV BEAMLINES 

There were a number of technical beamline 

improvements on tlie VUV Ring during FY 1997. 

Rebuilding of the U2A beamline for high-pressure 

infrarcd spectroscopy and for infrarcd micro-spcctroscopy 

was underway. The U1/U2 dipole chanibcr chamber \vas 

modified during tlie winter 96-97 shutdo\vn to provide a 

solid angle of 100(H) x 48(V) mradians on the U2 port. 

Extraction optics consisting of a new mirror box and 

diamond window were designed and built at the NSLS. 

A new Brulwr IFS 66 V/s FT-IR instrunicnt was 

purchascd and a new Brukcr 11, IR microscope was tcstcd 

and implemented for samples in small diamond cells. Thc 

optics in both of these instrunicnts was niodificd for 

synchrotron radiation measurements. In addition, a ticw 

large working distance microscope was designed and built. 

Bcamlinc U3A was in an intensive recommissioning 

phase involving hardwarc upgrades, monochromator 

dcvclopment, bcamline calibration and diagnostics. 

Hardware modification included reconfiguration of the 

MO mirror chamber, a beamline computer upgrade, 

installation of RF reactors for cleaning XUV optics, 

installation of a new filter asscmbly, and monochromator 

operations. Several sets of monochromator crystals and 

multilayers were mounted and aligned. Tliesc includcd 

matched pairs of beryl, Na p alumina, Mo/Si and W/Si 

multilayers. Harmonic content was negligible abovc 1000 

eV. Second order harmonics abovc 800 eV were 

controlled with filters. Monochromator motors wcrc 

replaced and motor translators modified to allow for a 

programmable holding torque. 

The microscope from U2B was niovcd to U4IR 

where it was iiscd for several experiments. 

As part of the DOE Scientific Facilities Initiative 

(SFI) spherical gratings and a moveable exit slit will be 

added to the U4A bcamlinc, replacing thc prcscnt toroidal 

gratings and fixed slits. A computer upgrade was in 

progress and in the ARP chamber, a new cluster of metal 

evaporators and a thin film thickncss monitor wcrc 

installed.

At U15 the beamline computer control hardware 

and software were upgraded as was the vacuum system. 

The Ul6B ERG monochromator and refocusing optics 

were restored to an operating condition. 

X-RAY BEAMLINES 

The X1A beamline was rebuilt during the second 

half of 1996 and started operation in the new 

configuration in February 1997. The rebuilding resulted 

in two independent branches, improved energy resolution 

and flux, and additional space. A large effort was directed 

towards commissioning of the cryo-scanning transmission 

x-ray microscope (Cryo-STXM) on the inboard branch 

line. This instrument images frozen hydrated biological 

specimens at near liquid nitrogen temperature, where 

radiation damage does not manifest itself even after 

repeated imaging. Tomography data sets were taken with 

this apparatus. Cryogenic capabilities were implemented 

in the x-ray holography chamber, which is also used on 

the inboard branch line. 

Two new experimental facilities were implemented 

on X1B. A soft x-ray emission (SXE) spectrometer was 

commissioned as was a new spin polarization facility based 

on the use of a Scienta hemispherical analyzer and a microMott spin polarimeter. This will allow high resolution 

spin polarized photoemission studies in the soft x-ray 

range. 

At X3A electric wiring in the monochromator 

assembly was redesigned to eliminate cross-talk between 

the A1 and A2 monochromators. Also, new operating 

software for a Pentium PC was under development in 

collaboration with the staff of the 15-ID station at the 

APS. 

On X4A a new Raxis-IV automated detector was 

installed and tested. The X4C beamline approached 

completion. First light was taken into the hutch in 

February 1997. The Windows 95 based VME motion 

control system began operation, controlling close to 30 

motors. The horizontal focusing monochromator, based 

on an NSLS design, was commissioned. In the future, 

the monochromator will be completely characterized and

a vcrtical focusing mirror will be installed. 

There were suhstantial improvements at the X5 

Laser Electron Gamma Source (LEGS) hcamlinc. The 

first phase of the Spin ASYmmetry detector array (SASY) 

was installed in tlie X5 expcrinicntnl area. The detector 

array comprises the XTAL BOX (an array of Pb-glass 

Cerenkov coiinters. A prototype of tlie in-beam Gas 

Cerenkov counter for tlic rcjcctor of electron piiir 

production events online was also implcmcnted. The 

XTAL BOX provides good photon resolution (- 1006) for 

high energy photons as all azimuthal angles and at polar 

angles of 70 to 145 degrees in the current configuration. 

Thc forward wall ofplastic scintillators provides coverage 

for nucleons from 1 0 to 35 degrees with a 40%) efficiency 

for the dctcction of neutrons. The plastic bars and Pbglass wall arc capable of detecting high energ photons 

with moderate energy resolution, and angular resolution 

on the order of 6 degrees results in an overall acceptance 

for rcconstriiction of neutral pions of 50?44. The completc 

rcstriictiiring of the X5 laser hutch \\’as underway in order 

to accommod;ite the energy qiiadruplcd laser designed 

and constriictcd by Frascati and RNI,. This Nd-YIJ ring 

laser delivers 2 Watts ofultra-violet light at 263 nm. The 

combination of the new ring laser and 2.8 GeV electrons 

will increase LEGS energies to 470 MeV. The 

dcvclopmcnt of tlic new spin- polarized HD ice target 

yielded an opcralble full-size target, albeit in a limited

was also progrcss in addressing monochromator heatloading problems. Water flow to the crystal holders \vas 

improved, and graphite filters were purchased. A new 

MAR 345 mm image-plate based detector wax purchased. 

Work was in progress on the design and construction of a

detector was tested in July 1337, and has become the 

principal crystallography detector. A MAR scanner is 

used for experiments requiring grentcr coverage and

control of major DOE facilities. Towards this end, plans 

were made for a migration to a PC-based computer system 

running SPEC, and installation of cameras and 

telecommunication hardware. 

At X16C a front-end white-beam aperture (with 

slits and a pinhole) was designed and installed for 

microprobe and micro-XAFS applications. A permanent 

setup for XAFS experiments was also built. 

At X17C a pair of Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors was set 

up for focusing white x-ray beams at a glancing angle 

incidence to a 3-30 micron spot. Clean up slits were 

used to eliminate the tail of the focusing beam. A 130 

element detector was used to permit simultaneous 

collection of energy dispersive x-ray diffraction at different 

angles, an important configuration for high pressure 

elastic properties studies. A new 12 degree cone double 

receiving slit system was developed for the multi-element 

detector to reduce background and increase the signalto-noise ratio. An optical microscope for precise and 

convenient alignment was integrated into the diffraction 

system. 

At the XI 9A a white beam damaged Zerodur mirror 

was replaced with a new silicon mirror. An improvement 

in throughput of more than a factor of 10 was achieved 

as well as a significant decrease in focused beam size. 

Additional diagnostics were installed to facilitate 

alignment. The successful implementation of InSb 

crystals took place, and the possibility of using 

monochromator crystals with larger d spacing to permit 

studies at the Al edge is under consideration. At X19C 

an analyzer axis was designed for the defector arm to 

enable harmonic contamination analysis of white beam 

topographs. Implementation of the axis was underway. 

On the X2OA,B, and C beamlines data-acquisition/ 

analysis computers were replaced with IBM RS/6000 

computers running the AIX 3.2.5 operating system. The 

motor controlling and data acquisition program SPEC 

was upgraded to version 4.03.01. A UPS for these 

computers, along with software capable of shutting down 

the AIX operating system automatically during a power 

outage, was purchased and installed. At X20B, a 

computer-controlled monochromator focus and tilt DCmotor problem was solved on the bench and plans were 

made to complete an X20B monochromator upgrade with 

the installation of these motors. At X2OC a new focusing 

mirror purchased by the NSLS with DOE SFI funds was 

installed, improving the vertical focus by a factor of three. 

A new set of synthetic Si/W multilayers also improved 

the focused spot size. 

Normal maintenance and upgrades were carried out 

at X22A,B and C including installation of a LINUX 

operating systems. Pt-coated Si mirrors were purchased 

for these beamlines using SFI funds with installation to 

occur in 1998. The X22B slit assembly was upgraded, 

and SFI funds were used to upgrade the liquid surface 

spectrometer, including addition of a UHV chamber for 

liquid metals. 

The X23A2 beamline was upgraded with the 

installation of new ion chambers, a new Macintosh Power 

PC 8600/200, LABVIEW data acquisition software and 

a computer driven exit slit. The two-reflection BenseHart-type SAXS at X23A3 was temporarily replaced with 

a four-reflection instrument. Significant reductions in 

background, and concurrent improvements in signal-tonoise, were observed. Testing of the instrument continues. 

At X23B it was discovered that the collimating 

mirror was not coated with Pt as requested. Investigation 

into this problem led to the discovery that several mirrors 

at the NSLS has been mis-coated (sometimes with 

germanium, rather than platinum). In May 1997 a 

properly coated mirror was installed resulting in a 

dramatic increase in flux. The monochromator 

microstepper controller was replaced to reduce 

maintenance and correct a problem with missing steps. 

PZT drivers were added to allow realtime adjustment of 

chi and a larger theta range. Computer equipment was 

also upgraded. 

There were substantial changes at X24A as new 

applications using the x-ray standing wave (XSW) 

technique were added to the previous soft x-ray gas 

spectroscopy capability. New UHV chambers were made 

available for back-reflection XSW. DOE SFI funds were 

used to purchase a hemispherical analyzer for electron 

spectroscopy. The computer controlling the 

monochromator was replaced with a PC operating in 

LINUX or Windows. New two-axis (theta and chi) PZT 

correctors were installed on several monochromator crystal 

pairs. This will stabilize the focused beam position. Also, 

an InSb/KDP crystal pair was added to permit operation 

down to 1800 eV with a resolution of 0.5 eV or better. 

At X25 SFI funds were used to purchase a new 34.5 

cm diameter imaging plate system for macromolecular 

crystallography, and diffraction cryostats for materials and 

condensed matter x-ray scattering and spectroscopy 

applications. A new pair of monochromator multilayers 

was obtained and utilized in several experiments. 

During FY 1997 the X-ray Computed 

Microtomography apparatus was moved from X27C to 

X27A. A multilayer monochromator was installed inside 

the X27A hutch to allow microtomography on biological 

samples in the 4 to 12 keV range. A new cooled CCD 

camera was integrated into the setup, increasing both the 

resolution and the size of samples that can be analyzed. 

The size of data sets that can be acquired grew due to 

new data collection hardware and software, and the 

reconstruction time reduced through the use of 8 

4- 13 
multiplexed I’entium processors in BNI, CCD. In 

January the newly established Advanced I’olymers PRT 

was given approval to instrument and operate X27C for 

real time simultaneous small and wide angle X-ray

THE NSLS SOURCE DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY 

Erik D, Johnson 

SDL Project Manager 

The Source Development Laboratory (SDL) was 

created as a project within the National Synchrotron Light 

Source as a way to serve its user community by developing 

sources for the next generation of synchrotron radiation 

based research. The path to the founding of the current 

SDL was based on a strong interaction between potential 

users of advanced sources of light, and the NSLS. It is 

possible due to innovative developments in accelerator 

physics by NSLS staff and experimental achievements at 

the Accclerator Test Facility (ATF). Another element that 

iriakcs the SDL so readily possible is the wealth of 

infrastructurc and equipment already available. 

The focus of the SDL is on joint development df 

both the radiation source and science program based on 

its capabilities. Generally speaking, the project is 

developed to fit within the framework of research 

supported by the DOE office of Basic Energy Sciences. 

It’s sister facility, the ATE provides significant accelerator 

expertise employed by the SDL. However the active beam 

physics experimental program of the ATF precludes its 

use as a UV FEL source for research. Throughout the 

SDL project, we have made every possible effort to draw 

on existing resources and the strengths of collaborators 

from many interested institutions. 

Early on in the process of evaluating alternative 

source technologies, the vacuum ultraviolet was identified 

as a promising area for development. Although there are 

many FEL projects in the world, to date, all the successful 

user facilities have been based on oscillator designs. This 

places very great demands on the optical elements of the 

cavity in terms of reflectivites which would be difficult to 

routinely achieve in the ultraviolet. An alternative 

approach would be to run a high current electron beam 

through a long undulator in a single pass. Many projects 

have been started based 

on this Self Amplified

Spontaneous Emission 

(SASE) or startup from 

noise model. 

While SASE may 

get to shorter 

wave1 en g t h without 

oscillator optics, it is 

essentially amplification 

of noise which, from the 

standpoint of users of 

the radiation, may have 

serious experimental 

consequences. For this 

reason, Li-Hua Yu and 

his collaborators have 

developed the approach 

adopted at BNL for 

creating a seeded 

amplifier FEL. In 

addition to providing 

super i o r stab i 1 i ty, t h is 

approach allows the 

5- 2 
generation of high harmonics of the fundamental 

radiation used for the seed. This means a visible seed 

laser (and its properties) may be amplified and frequency 

multiplied, in principle, well into the ultraviolet. 

The figure gives a qualitative picture of how the 

SDL FEL works, and provides some insight into its 

potential power as an experimental tool. A “conventional” 

Ti:Sapp laser system is frequency multiplied to stimulate 

emission of electrons from the cathode of the RF gun. 

This gun provides a high peak current, low emittance 

pulse of electrons which is accelerated by a SLAC type Sband linac. For seeded beam operation, these electrons 

pass through an energy modulation wiggler (EM) while 

interacting with a portion of the laser beam from the 

laser driving the photocathode. In the seeding process 

an energy modulation is introduced on the electron beam 

which is converted into a spatial modulation by a 

dispersive magnet (D). The already microbunched beam 

is introduced to the amplifier wiggler which may be tuned 

for gain either at the fundamental seeding energy, or a 

higher harmonic. 

This arrangement can be readily viewed as essentially 

a high gain amplifier and frequency multiplier for the 

seed laser. The FEL output will then reflect characteristics 

of the seed laser such as wavelength, pulse length, 

bandwidth and energy chirp. This property makes the 

seeded beam FEL a very high quality tool for research 

applications requiring stability and short wavelengths. For 

our long term goal, we have our sights set on performing 

experiments with an FEL producing UV radiation at 

wavelengths below 100 nm in pulses as brief as 5 fs with 

peak power ranging to over 100 GW. There are, of course, 

a few intermediate steps that need to be taken. 

We are working hard on bringing up the SDL 

accelerator now, and are hoping to have the linac 

operational in mid 1998. The FEL experiments will come 

as rapidly after that as time, determination, and budget 

allow. As the effort has intensified a great deal of work 

must be pursued in parallel. To make this possible we 

have formed a management team. 

Jim Desmond and Nick Gmur are responsible for 

finding ways to make sure the project gets done with the 

budget we have, and meets all the requirements to run in 

a safe manner; no small tasks these days. For the other 

team members, the project areas listed are really an 

inadequate representation of the wide range of 

contributions and responsibilities within this small 

project. For example, in addition to specifying and 

commissioning the SDL Laser systems, Lou DiMauro 

(with his joint appointment in Chemistry) brings his

Besides developing new diagnostics and coordinating the

a focused interaction point for Thompson scattering 

studies; enhancements that significantly extend the 

potential of the machine. 

Richard Heese brings extensive experience in linac 

technology and development to the project. He has also 

assumed the responsibility for supervising the 

reconstruction and upgrade of the SDL linac and has 

taken on the difficult task of coordinating the technical 

work in bringing the facility up. Xijie Wang brings not

only developed the basic physics for our planned FEL, he

development of the SDL program. 

We also have a project advisory panel, consisting of 

Ilan Ben-Zvi, Jerry Hastings, and Sam Krinsky who bring 

a broad perspective to the problems of bringing up a new 

accelerator based source. In actually accomplishing 

anything, the broad participation from every section of 

the department has been critical. This has been especially 

true of the electrical and mechanical groups who are 

responsible for the majority of the visible progress to date. 

All in all people have been attacking their tasks with an 

enthusiasm that lifts the whole project. We hope to be 

seeing some of that work coming to fruition in the next 

year. To look at the project in more detail or to keep

THE ACCELERATOR TEST FACILITY 

llan Ben-Zvi 

ATF Head 

The interest in Free-Electron Lasers operating in 

very short wavelengths, down to hard x-rays, is growing. 

Recently a team of NSLS, MIT, Columbia and Berkeley 

scientists made a measurement that is deemed important 

in this context. In the following I will try to provide the 

background for this measurement that was made at the 

BNL Accelerator Test Facility. 

A key aspect of the mission of Brookhaven National 

Laboratory (BNL) is to construct, operate and use large 

facilities for the breadth of scientific disciplines supported 

by the Department ofEnergy. An important component 

of the success of BNL comes from innovative accelerator 

R&D, since new accelerator technologies hold the key to 

new achievements in applications and user facilities. We 

are facing now the emergence of a new technology, that 

of very high-brightness electron beams. This technology 

has far reaching implications for x-ray sources and other 

applications. 

Part of the mission of the National Synchrotron 

Light Source is to develop radiation sources for the future. 

The NSLS has been the first light source to pursue the 

development of Free-Electron Lasers as the next 

generation synchrotron light sources. BNL has been a 

leader in the national effort on FEL development, hosting 

the workshops “Prospects of a 1 A FEL” in 1990 and 

“Towards Short Wavelength FELs” in 1993, as wcll as 

developing its Conceptual Design Report and pursuing 

subsequent efforts to develop a national collaboration in 

the field. In the past decade, the NSLS made significant 

contribution to the science of FELs like the theories on 

Universal Scaling of exponential regime FELs in 3-D, 

the High-Gain Harmonic Generation and beam 

conditioning. Experimentally we have led in the 

development of record high-brightness electron beams 

and methods of measurements of these and, as has been 

hinted at earlier, the shortest wavelength measurement 

of Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE). 

FELs can provide an important tool reaching 

beyond the capabilities of high brightness synchrotrons. 

Science that explores non-linear effects at short 

wavelength, dilute systems or intensity correlation studies, 

require high peak powcr and will only bcconic possiihlc 

when appropriate sources, such as FEIs, are availahlc. 

The NSLS developed a vision ofthc next generation 

of light sources and is assembling thc bcani physics and 

technology to niakc this happcn. Emphasizing singlc-pass 

FEL amplifiers, which have advantagcs over oscillators in 

the short wavelength regime whcrc cavity mirrors arc 

u n ava i I ab 1 e, the N S 1,s d cvc I oped t h c H i g h - G a i ti 

Harmonic-Generation (HGHG) FEL approach as a the 

best strategy to build a high quality short wavclcngth FEL. 

High-brightness electron bcmis R&D was undcrtal<cn 

in a major way, sincc this is the key to achieving shortwavelength FELs as well as other significant applications, 

such as linear colliders, laser accclcrators and more. The 

BNLAcceleratorTest Facility (ATF) is the proving ground 

for these advances. 

What is the ATF? First and foremost, it is a User’s 

Facility for accelerator and beani physicists, opcratcd by 

the NSLS and the RNI, Center for Accclcrator Physics. 

There is no other proposal-drivcn, peer-rcvicwcd facility 

likc the ATF that is dedicated for long range R&D in 

accelerator and beam physics. 

The ATF has a unique combination of a highbrightness clcctron beam, synchronized-high-power lascrs, 

a well-equipped 3 bcanilinc expcrimcnt hall, and advanced 

diagnostics and control systcms. Thc ATF’s program in 

RF guns is recognized internationally. With its 

synchronized lasers and electron bcanis of unprecedcntcd 

brightness, the ATF is an idcal site for R&D on advnnccd 

accelerator concepts, FELs, femtosecond X-ray soiirccs 

and similar topics. These tools have becn crucial to recciit 

ATF record achievements: the measurement of Sclf 

Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) at 1 pni and 

0.63 pm, and laser acceleration by the Inverse CerenI<ov 

and Inverse FEL nicchanisms. 

The generation and acceleration of very high 

brightness electron bcanis is a key tcchnology for short 

wavelength FELs as wcll as othcr applications, including 

linear colliders, Compton backscattering for thc 

production of femtosecond x-rays, laser accclcrators and 

more. A high brightness means that thc electron bunch 

5- 4 
has a high density in 6-D phase space. To achieve high 

brightness beams, it is necessary to master the production 

of such beams in special electron guns, to develop 

diagnostics that provide information of the 6-D 

distribution of electron bunches on sub-picosecond time 

scales, to control the 6-D distribution of the bunch in 

various ways and to be able to accelerate the electrons to 

high energies without diluting the brightness. 

NSLS scientists working at the ATF measured the 

slice emittance of a IO ps electron bunch with a 1 ps 

resolution, achieved an unprecedentedly high 6-D 

electron phase-space density and directly measured 

electron bunching on an optical scale. Another diagnostic 

under development at the ATF is tomographic analysis 

of the distribution of electrons in transverse phase space. 

The next step is to pursue non-linear emittance 

compensation. Laser photocathode RF guns have 

provided a major improvement in the brightness, which 

was further enhanced by the introduction of (linear) 

emittance compensation. The dream of another major 

improvement by the introduction of non-linear 

corrections has been brought within reach by the 

development of the slice-emittance diagnostic and the 

availability of lasers with longitudinal pulse shaping. 

Key to our plans is the development of subharmonically seeded FELs in which harmonic generation 

converts a laser seed to much shorter wavelength radiation. 

A proof-of-principle High-Gain Harmonic-Generation 

(HGHG) FEL experiment is planned to be carried out at 

the ATF in the infrared using a CO, laser seed. Both the 

SASE and HGHG work will be extended into the VUV 

at the SDL, using the NISUS wiggler. These experiments 

at the ATF and the SDL are milestones, not just for the 

BNL program, but also for other projects like the proposed

5-5 
Linear Coherent Light Source at SI.AC and thcTeslaTest 

Facility FEL at DESY, Hamhurg. The goal of these efforts 

is basic experimental research in FEI, physics, which has 

been recommended by niimcrous panels and review 

committees as an imperative on the way to developing 

short wavelength FELs. An initial siicccss in this program 

has been the ATF measurement of SASE at 1ptn and 

0.63 pm. At the SDL, it is planned to utilize the output 

of the FEL to carry out prototype experiments to gain 

experience in providing FEL beams to iiscrs. 

One of the special features of the measurement at 

the ATF is that the short wavelength was reached at a 

relatively low electron beam energy (34 MeV for the 1 

micron measurement). To get gain with an FEI, at a 

lower energy, the beam emittance niitst be small. It is 

easy to show that the beam energy required for ohtaining 

a particular FEL wavelength is proportional to the hcam 

emittance. The wiggler length is proportional to 

so m et h i ng be twee ti the e 111 i t ta ti cc and the em i t ta n ce 

squared, dcpend i ng on the wiggler strength pa ramc tcr. 

Since the complexity and cost of an electron linac and a 

wiggler arc proportional to the length of these devices, 

an improvement ofonc order of magnitude in the electron 

beam emittance will reduce the cost by one order of 

magnitude! Such a reduction has taken plncc in the last 

decad e with t he i tit rod iic t io ti of em i t ta ti cc co m pe ti sa t i o ii 

techniques to laser-photocathode RF guns, and that is 

the driver behind the recent activity in short wn\&ngth 

FELs. Another order of rnagnitude will place an x-ray 

FEL within reach of evcry laboratory. 

Another feature, made necessary by the low energy, 

is the use of a very short period iindiilator. It is clear that 

to make use of lower emittance electron heams short 

period undulators must be developed. The SAE 

measurement at the ATF was made with an undulator 

built by MIT with a period of 8.8 mm. Another 

undulator, with the same period but using a 

superconducting niagtict~ wis dcvclopcd I)y the NSI .S. 

These are the shortest period iindu1:itors in actual use

The ATF and the NSIS arc in the center of the 

national effort to develop short wnvclcngtli Fl<I,s, and 

effort that at this time ciicotiipasscs also SSRI,, AI’S, 

TJNAF and universities. Whcncvcr possihlc, wc liwc

Beamline X27A: Recent developments in porous materials have demonstrated the potential 

to achieve ultra-light weightmetal structures at reduced cost using a solid-gas eutectic 

solidification process known as the Casar process. The process is capable of producing 

controlled porosity in metals by influencing the size and shape of pores as well as the pore 

distributions. The stereo pair at right is a 3-D volume section of an aluminum alloy sample 

rendered from x-ray microtomography data. (See also Abstract on page B-245.)

APPENDICE

. .. . 

a 
From the Managing Editor 

Four years ago, in the FY 1994 Activity Report, i..e f SLS implemented a 

nCw Web-based abstract submission system. After the author enters the 

information using their Web browser sobare, the system stores the abstracts 

in an Oracle database which then allows the NSLS to publish the abstracts in 

many formats. The abstracts are not only being published in the printed book 

now, but also on the World Wide Web in both HTML and PDF formats. 

The past years’ Abstracts and Activity Reports can be found at the NSLS 

Home Page, www.nsls.bnl.gov, under “Science”. 

For this 1997 edition of the Activity Report, almost 600 abstracts were 

received (Appendices A and B). This is 100 more than last year and indicates 

that the NSLS user community is more willing and able to use the system. At 

the time the abstract submission system was implemented, it was viewed as 

very experimental and cutting-edge because there were not many such systems 

in use. Today, however, the scene on the Internet is quite different. Web 

forms are much more common and browser software has become more 

standardized, so people are more comfortable using them. In addition, the 

NSLS abstract system has been fine-tuned and enhanced over the past couple 

of years, becoming easier to use for both the authors and NSLS Production 

Staff. 

This edition of the Activity Report also contains a higher than usual number 

of publication references (Appendix C). The reason is that many users 

submitted more extensive lists to the NSLS this year, with publication dates 

in some cases dating back to 1990. Production Staff had to check all previous 

editions of the Activity Report to identi+ any references which had iic‘ver 

before been included. To complete the official record of publications which 

used synchrotron data taken at the NSLS, the previously unlisted references 

were added to this year‘s list. Appendix C therefore contains publication 

references dating from 1996-1997 as well as a fair number from previous 

years.

Orientation and Order in Microcontact-Printed, Self-Assembled I I U1A I Monolayers of Alkanethiols on Gold Investigated with NEXAFS 

I NEXAFS Studies of Benzene on the Si( 100)-2x1 Surface 

D. Fischer, A. Marti, and G. Hahner (ETH Zurich, Department of Materials) 

The field of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been a research area of increasing interest for more than a decade due to their ease of preparation and large number 

of potential applications. Particularly alkanethiols, mostly adsorbed on gold, are well characterized and known to establish well-ordered and highly oriented films. 

The recently developed technique of microcontact-printing (pCP) by Whitesides et 

al. allows SAMs to be laterally structured down to the (sub)micrometer range. In 

short, a PDMS stamp that is inked with the thiol solution is used to print the thiol 

onto the substrate surface. 

We have investigated such contact-printed (CP) layers of alkanethiols on gold with 

NEXAFS and compared them to layers prepared by the conventional immersion 

technique [l]. We studied the influence on order and orientation of the alkyl chains 

of both the chain length of the thiols and the concentration of the solution that was 

used for stamping and for immersion. 

Our study shows that the CP process, when performed with a sufficiently concentrated solution of the thiol, can result in monolayers indistinguishable from those 

established by immersion into solution, independent of the thiol chain length. For 

lower concentrations, however, CP monolayers show a significant deviation from 

well-ordered films and have to be classified as mainly disordered. As with SAMs 

prepared from solution, shorter chains (dodecanethiol) lead to a lower degree of 

order compared to longer ones (hexadecanethiol) and hence a relatively higher percentage of gauche conformations. NEXAFS is capable of detecting this difference of 

gauche defects, which is on the order of 30%. Since we do not observe any difference 

in our NEXAFS spectra for the different preparation methods for one chain length 

and sufficiently high concentrations, the upper limit of the difference in the density 

of defects in the resulting films can be estimated to be 30%.

Interaction of benzene with various single crystalline surfaces has served as a 

reference point in the studies of a variety of processes. Here we present the Near 

Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) studies of benzene on Si(100)- 

2x1. This system is an excellent model for the interaction of hydrocarbons with 

silicon surfaces and for the formation of silicon-carbon interface, relevant for the 

manufacturing of electronic devices. Benzene has been studied on silicon surfaces 

relatively extensively; however, questions still remain about the detailed chemistry. 

Most importantly, it is still not understood if benzene reacts with the Si(100)- 

2x1 surface only at room temperature or if this reaction occurs at 100 K as well. 

Previous studies used thermal desorption spectrometry and HREELS to answer this 

question, but the obtained results were inconclusive. The use of NEXAFS allows one to determine if benzene is chemisorbed or physisorbed at cryogenic temperature 

by following its signature split p* transition, which is characteristic of a conjugated 

system. Furthermore, the nature of the product of the reaction of benzene with 

the Si(100)-2xl surface at room temperature can be probed by using the same approach. Fig. 1 presents the spectrum of benzene taken at glancing and at normal 

incidence for submonolayer coverage adsorbed on the Si( 100)-2x1 surface at 100 

K. The split p* transition is easily seen at glancing incidence. The average of the 

spectra taken at glancing and normal incidence of the photon beam is consistent 

with the multilayer spectra of benzene and with the literature results on benzene 

physisorbed on unreactive surfaces. The angle between the plane of the benzene 

molecule and Si(100)-2xl surface was found to be 30, which is consistent with the 

strongly corrugated nature of the Si(100)-2xl surface. Fig. 2 presents the spectra 

analogous to those described in Fig. 1, but taken at room temperature. These 

spectra are clearly different from those of the physisorbed benzene. The split p* 

transition, signature of conjugation, seems to be absent, whereas s*C-H, s*C-C, and 

s*C=C are clearly seen. All these results suggest that benzene physisorbs on the 

Si( 100)-2x1 surface at 100 K without significant alteration of its electronic structure. 

At room temperature, however, it reacts with this surface chemically to form an 

intermediate without conjugated double bonds. One of the possible intermediates is 

shown in the inset for Fig. 2. Further studies are needed to support this structure.

Synchrotron Infrared Absorption of Single Crystal Brucite to 20 GPa I U2B 

A. F. Goncharov, R. J. Hemley, and H. K. Mao (Carnegie Inst. of Washington) 

The high-pressure behavior of brucite, Mg(OH)z, is of great interest because this 

compound may serve as an analog of complex hydrogen-bearing silicates of the 

Earth's crust and mantle. In this work we studied for the first time the infrared 

absorption spectra of brucite single crystals. Measurements were done at U2B NSLS 

beamline using FT-IR spectrometer and diamond anvil cells. Samples of several 

micrometers thickness were loaded into the pressure chamber with ruby pressure 

gauge and KBr or NaCl pressure transmitting medium. Transmission spectra were normalized to the transmission of the cell with the medium at the same pressure. 

The infrared spectrum of brucite in the mid-IR consists of 0-H fundamental and 

its combination modes with the low-frequency lattice phonons. The 0-H stretching mode is only weakly active in the geometry used (direction of propagation is 

perpendicular to the basal plane of the crystals) because the transition moment 

direction is parallel to the wave vector of light. We observe that 0-H fundamentals 

broadens under pressure and at 4 GPa new bands appear at lower frequencies and 

gain intensity with pressure. These modes soften with pressure. The initial 0-H 

fundamental loses intensity gradually and at approximately 20 GPa becomes almost 

unobserved. On the pressure release the initial IR spectrum is restored at ambient 

pressure, but some hysteresis is observed and new bands are seen almost to ambient 

pressure. The observed phenomena are interpreted as due to the phase transition, 

which involves displacements of hydrogen atoms from their original axial sites as 

was also proposed in recent neutron diffraction an Raman studies [1,2].

Synchrotron Infrared Absorption and Raman Spectroscopy in paraHydrogen to >200 GPa. 

A. F. Goncharov, R. J. Hemley, H. K. Mao, and J. F. Shu 

We have studied solid H2 by infrared and Raman spectroscopy to pressures in ex- cess of 200 GPa and to 8 K. After cooling down to T<25 K we observe a ortho-para 

conversion in both phases I and I1 by monitoring the infrared spectra of the pure 

vibron and the zero-phonon rotation-vibration bands and the Raman spectra of the 

roton bands with time. We documented nearly complete ortho-para conversion for 

samples cooled at 33, 76 and 97 GPa, while one, cooled at 110 GPa contained a 

substantial amount of ortho-species even after 112 hours at 15 K. For pure para-Hz 

the transition to the ordered phase (BSP, phase 11) recorded at 110-120 GPa and 

17 K is characterized by major and previously unobserved changes in rotation and 

rotation-vibration excitations. The second dramatic change of the low-frequency 

excitations (librons) occurs at 145-165 GPa, which is associated with the discontinuity in the Raman and infrared vibrons at the transformation to phase 111. Librons 

in the phase I11 are strongly pressure dependent, indicating an increase in molecular 

ordering. New vibrons sidebands are observed in all three phases (I, 11, and 111) of 

para-Hz.

Band Structure of n-type Wurtzite GaN Studied Using Angle Resolved Spectroscopy ~ 

S.S. Dhesi, C.B. Stagarescu, Y.C. Chao, J. Downes and K.E. Smith, (Boston 

University) 

The valence band electronic structure of wurtxite GaN has been determined using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Clean, ordered surfaces were prepared by reapeated cycles of nitrogen-ions bombardment and annealing in ultrahigh vacuum. Spectra were recorded along the main symmetry directions of the 

bulk Brillouin zone. The band dispersion along these high symmetry directions was 

determined, as were relative critical-point binding energies. 

When compared to existing band-structure calculations, our data indicates that 

local density approximation band-structure calculations using partial-core correc- tions for the Ga 3d states predict the relative binding energies of the main critical 

points with a high degree of accuracy. 

A similar study, investigating the bulk and surface electronic structure of the 

p-type GaN is undergoing.

I Surface Electronic Structure of n-type Thin Film Wurtzite GaN I U4A I ~~ 

S.S. Dhesi, C.B. Stagarescu, Y.C. Chao, J. Downes andK.E. Smith (Boston University) 

Gallium nitride and related nitride wide band gap semiconductors are an important class of electronic materials due to potential use in optoelectronic devices 

operating in the blue to ultraviolet spectral range. Consequently, a thorough understanding of the electronic structure of such nitrides is of fundamental importance. 

At beamline U4A, we have investigated the nature of the substantial band-bending 

( Fermi level pinning ) at the surface of thin film wurtzite GaN by the use of 

photoemission spectroscopy. Our angle resolved photoemission spectra taken from 

the in-situ cleaned surface of wurtzite GaN show clearly a non-dispersive emission 

feature localized near the valence band maximum, in the bulk band gap. Further 

measurements proved that the associated state does not show any dispersion along 

the the k, direction and is destroyed by absorption of oxygen or activated hydrogen, or by ion bombardment of the surface. All this, together with symmetry related 

arguments and measurements, allowed us to identify this feature with a surface 

state with sp, character, consistent with a dangling bond state. A similar study is 

presently pursued for the surface of the p-type thin film wurtzite GaN.

V203, a metallic paramagnet at high temperature and an insulating antiferromagnet below T,xr~ = 170 K, undergoes a structural transformation from the high 

temperature trigonal phase into a monoclinic phase, accomplished by a decrease in 

the c/a ratio (axes referred to the trigonal phase) and a tilt, by 1.9" with respect 

to the high temperature phase c-axis, of two of the three V pairs which occupy 

the octahedral sites. Whether the structural transition drives the electronic one, 

or vice-versa, is not known, but potentially very important to understanding the 

mechanism of this metal-insulator t,ransition (RIIT). In this context, it is noteworthy that doping VZOS with Cr or AI can also cause a metal-insulator transition, 

but one which does not change the lattice symmetry. 

Recent experiments cast some doubt on the importance of the trigonal to monoclinic distortion for the MIT. 0 K edge NEXAFS measurements on pure and Cr 

doped V203 single crystals in the metallic and insulating phases show the local 

electronic structure of the Cr doped trigonal insulating phase and the low temperature monoclinic phase are the same, while EXAFS measurements show a monoclinic 

distortion on a microscopic scale in the room teniperature metallic phase of pure 

V.LO:$ although the average strnctnrc is trigonal. There are two possible interpretations: (i) The monoclinic distortion is irrelevant to the RIIT in pure V203, since 

the trigonal Cr doped insulating phase shows the same local electronic structure, 

or (ii) a. monoclinic distortion is a,lso present in the Cr (loped insulating phase. 

To decide between these possibilities wc have measured the V K edge x-ray absorption spectra of V~OS single crystals, both pure arid doped with AI (rather than 

Cr. to avoid interference with the V edge). On these single crystals. we have measured in fluorescence yield; this may introduce distortions due to self-absorption, 

which we have correctrd by measuring spectra at several sample geometrirs antl 

comparing to an explicit calcnlation.1Ve show in Fig. 1 the EXAFS spectra of a 

VZO~ as measured at several exit angles. The apparent amplitude differences caused 

by self-absorption are removed by the correction procedure. 

Although analysis of the extended fine structure is not yet complete, the spectra 

depend very clearly on the polarization between the incident beam and the single 

crystal samples. An example is shown in Fig. 2, in which the extended fine structure. transformed into R space. is shown for the incident polarization parallel and 

perpendicular to the sample c axis.

Element Specific Rkignetic Hysteresis from XRMS.

I U4B 

Element-specific magnetic hysteresis measurements performed in absorption are 

an established method for disecting the complex total moment hysteresis curves into their individual components to help understand the interplay between magnetic 

layers in a magnetic multilayer. Magnetic hysteresis curves performed in reflectivity 

would allow for a depth selectivity (by changing the incidence angle) not available 

in absorption. Shown in Fig. 1 is the dependence of the reflected specular intensity 

at resonance with the Co L3 edge as a function of applied magnetic field for various 

incidence angles for a single crystal Co/Cr/Co multilayer (grown on GaAs( 100) 

substrate with an Fe seed layer (4 A) to promote the bcc Co phase). At first glance. 

the reflectivity curves seem completely unrelated to each other antl to the traditional 

magnetometry loop (shown in Fig. 2). These different reflectivity loops (normalized 

to unity and offset for clarity) are generated by the interference of scattering from 

the four Co interfaces in the trilaver. Changing the incidence angle (antl also the 

magnetic orientation) changes these interference conditions. generating the observed 

variations in these reflectivity loops. However, these radically different hysteresis 

curves are related, each displays 2 plateau regions during the field cycle. If the 

loops are rescaled at these two points, then all the "reflectivity hysteresis" curves 

look similar (see Fig. 2) antl have a qualitative agreement with the magnetometry 

loop. The remaining differences are clue to the failure of achieving complete antialignment of the two films in the plateau region.

I Helicity-Dependent Absolute Absorption Cross-sections of Co and Ni. I U4B I 

V.Chakarian, Y.U. Idzerda (Naval Research Lab), and C.T. Chen (SRRC, Taiwan). 

The extraction of reliable quantitative results from measured X-ray absorption 

spectra often requires the determination of absolute photoabsorption cross sections. 

Here, we report on the measured helicity dependent absolute cross sections for hcp 

Co and fcc Ni measured at their L2,3 edges for films deposited in situ at Torr 

pressure from e-beam evaporators onto a parylene substrate, (CSH~)~, heldat room temperature. For these transmission measurements, the attenuation of the soft Xray flux was determined by measuring the incident flux, Io, via the photocurrent 

drain on a highly transmitting Au grid, and measuring the transmitted flux with a 

Si photodiode. The structural phase of these materials was determined by k-edge 

EXAFS measurements. The total photoabsorption cross section can be obtained 

by using pTot = (p+ + p- + po)/3, where p+ is the photoabsorption cross section 

for positive helicity light, p- for negative helicity light, and po = (p+ + p-)/2 for 

linear polarized light. The data have been corrected for incidence angle, incomplete 

remnance, and degree of polarization of the beam. The spectra for Co and Ni 

(shown below) were scaled to calculated cross sections [l] in the pre- and post-edge 

regions.

Quantitative Evaluation of Magnetic Moment Determination by MCD I U4B I 

V. Chakarian, Y.U. Idzerda (Naval Research Lab), and C.T. Chen (SRRC, Taiwan) 

Using the experimentally determined absolute cross sections, a realistic meanescape-depth ([) for secondary electrons of 10 A, and a film thickness of 30 A, we can calculate the expected XAS and MCD spectra at various incidence angles (see Fig. 

1) to determine the severity of saturation/self-absorption effects in MCD moment 

extraction. The calculated XAS and MCD spectral shapes remain nearly unchanged 

for incidence angles <50° and thereafter visible saturation begins to occur and the 

white line intensities decrease rapidly. To verify this, we simultaneously measured 

in TY and in TEY, the helicity-dependent photoabsorption cross sections from a 

thin 30 A Fe film as the photon incidence angle is varied from 15"-75", which 

corresponds to an effective thickness variation of 31-116 A (see Fig. 2, TEY data 

is normalized to TY values so that unity corresponds to no saturation effect). Note 

that the measured data exhibit saturation effects even near normal incidence and 

that for incidence angles of <50", the ratios do not change significantly after which 

they deviate rapidly. The solid and dashed lines show these same ratios derived 

from our simulation. Also shown in Fig. 2 are the extracted ml/ms values obtained 

from TEY data using the energy integral MCD sum rules after normalization to the 

values obtained from transmission. It is immediately apparent that the resulting 

errors on the ml/ms values are significantly larger, increasing much more rapidly 

than the corresponding deviation in the L3:Lz intensity ratios.

Directly Identifying the Order of Layer Switching in NiFe/Cu/Co Trilayers 

J.W. Freeland, V. Chakarian, and Y.U. Idzerda (NRL), S. Doherty and J.G. Zhu 

(Carnegie Mellon Univ.), '2.43. Kao (NSLS) 

In order to better understand the dynamics of layer switching, we present a study 

demonstrating how soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS) can be used 

to directly probe the layer switching in magnetic multilayers'. The behavior of 

magnetic layer switching critically controls spin-dependent electron transport in 

heteromagnetic systems. The determination of layer switching is accomplished by 

monitoring changes in the angular dependence of the magnetic contributions to the 

reflectivity at the L3 absorption edge as a function of applied field. The magnetic 

scattering asymmetry as a function of angle at the Fe L3 and Co L3 edges can be 

compared to directly determine not only the order of the layer switching, but to also 

extract information about the degree of anti-alignment of the layers. Comparison 

of the measured asymmetry of the aligned and anti-aligned states clearly shows 

that the NiFe layer is the first to switch and that the Co layer is never completely 

anti-aligned to the NiFe layer. The lack of complete anti-alignment is an indication 

of coupling between the layers probably due to dipolar magnetic coupling and/or 

film micromorphology. This demonstrates the power of XRMS as a probe of layer 

switching in magnetic heterostructures.

Many conditions can effect the switching properties of multilayers, but since standard magnetometry techniques, which measure only the total magnetic response, 

can only infer the order of the layer switching indirectly, there is need for a direct 

probe. The determination of layer switching is accomplished by monitoring changes 

in the angular dependence of the magnetic contributions to the reflectivity at the 

L3 absorption edge as a function of applied field'. A comparison of the asymmetry 

ratio R (=(I+ - I-)/(I+ + I-)) for the aligned and near anti-aligned states (see 

Fig. 1) illustrates the differences caused by the formation of an anti-aligned state. 

To determine which layer has switched first we examine the behavior at grazing 

incidence (i.e. small 0). Since the photon mean free path is small at the strongly 

absorbing L3 edge, at the low angles the measurement is predominately sensitive 

to the top layer. The sign change in the asymmetry ratio at low angles is an indicator of the magnetic orientation reversal of the top layer (see Fig. 1). Additional 

confirmation that the top layer switches first was made from the element specific 

hysteresis measured in reflectivity. By comparing the Co hysteresis with that of the 

7 A Fe seed layer which is ferromagnetically coupled to the bottom Co layer, we can confirm that the bottom layer is the last to switch. These conclusions are in 

agreement with a comparison made between the measured data and simulations for 

the different magnetic layer orientation combinations (aligned, top layer flip, and 

bottom layer flip). This comparison, not shown due to space limitations, shows that 

the data can only be reproduced if the top layer is the first to flip.

Determination of Vertical Correlation of hhgnetic Domains in a MulY.U. Idzerda. J.W. Freeland (Naval Research Lab), and C.-C. Kao (NSLS) 

Reflectivity measurements are a sensitive measure of the magnetic orientation of 

a magnetic film. For multilayer structures, the reflected specular intensity becomes 

dependent on the relative orientation of each of the magnetic films. Shown in the 

top of Fig. 1 is the magnetometry curve for a single crystal Co/Cr/Co trilayer 

grown epitaxially on GaAs(001) taken along its easy axis of magnetization. It is 

clear from the magnetometry curve that coupling through the Cr interlayer is giving 

rise to a state where the moments of the two Co layers are nearly anti-aligned at 

low fields. However, this state will not be in a perfectly anti-aligned clue to effects 

such as diploar coupling cansed by roughness. which mill reduce the degree of antialignment. In order to determine a complete description of the relative orientation 

of the two Co films the reflected specular intensity is measured as a function of 

applied field at varions incidence angles. From this functional dependence, we can 

statistically quantify the degree of correlation between the magnetic domains in the 

magnetic films. This vertical correlation must be generated by coupling through 

the interlayer.

Separating Chemical and Magnetic Roughness by X-ray Resonant 

Magnetic Scattering. 

Y.U. Idzerda, V. Chakarian, J.W. Freeland (Naval Research Lab), and C.-C. Kao 

(NSLS). 

A central issue in magnetic thin film research is the correspondence of chemical 

roughness, the variation of atomic type near an interface, and magnetic roughness, 

the variation of atomic spin (both magnitude and direction) near an interface. One 

method which holds promise of selectively characterizing magnetic and chemical 

roughness is X-ray Resonant hlagnetic Scattering (XRhIS). By measuring the specularly reflected intensity of a CP soft x-ray from a magnetic film or multilayer as 

a function of energy, angle, and magnetic orientation, both chemical and magnetic 

thickness arid roughness information can be extracted from the interface, analogons 

to the hard x-ray 8-28 scattering. As a demonstration, we have plotted below the 

asymmetry (difference between scattering using left or right CP soft x-rays normalized by their snm) as a function of photon energy antl incidence angle near the Lx 

edge of Co for a 37 Co film. For comparison, plotted to either side is the calculated 

asymmetry plot for a 37 ;\ Co film assuming either no magnetic roughness (LEFT) 

or assnming a magnetic roughness equal to the experimentally determined chemical 

ronghness (5 ;\- RIGHT). It is clear from the comparison that the no roughness 

spectra agrees with the data better than the 5 A rough calciilation, suggesting that 

the Co film is magnetically smooth, but chemically rough.

I Magnetic Moment Extraction from Magnetic EXAFS I U4B I 

Y.U. Idzerda, J.W. Freeland, and V.Chakarian (Naval Research Lab) 

Transmission MCD measurements have been extended to the EXAFS region for 

Fe, Co, and Ni films grown in-situ by e-beam evaporation (250-300 A) onto Wlpm 

thick semi-transparent parylene for determination of the L-edge magnetic EXAFS 

(MEXAFS). The structure of the deposited films were determined by EXAFS mea- surements at the K-edges of these films, indicating that the Fe, Co, and Ni films are polycrystalline films in the bcc, hcp, and fcc phases, respectively. The combined L2,3 spectra can be deconvolved assuming that the LZ and L3 oscillations 

are identical and are offset by the Lz and L3 energy separation and that the L3 

edge EXAFS (MEXAFS) is weighted by +2 (-1) compared to the L2 edge EXAFS 

(MEXAFS). These weighting factors reflect the relative heights of the Lz and L3 

edge jumps (quantum degeneracy of 2:l) and the phase relation of the MCD (-1:l). 

After the L-edge (M)EXAFS is isolated, it is converted to electron wavenumber, 

k, and fourier transformed (with a k2 weighting) in the usual way to generate the 

radial distribution function, shown in Fig. 1. The first shell position is reproduced, 

but in each case the longer scattering paths are enhanced relative to the first shell 

for the MEXAFS when compared to the EXAFS. Most interestingly, if the MEXAFS first shell intensity is scaled to the EXAFS first shell intensity, this first shell 

ratio scales with the spin moment of the material (see Fig. 2).

Site-Specific NEXAFS of Y1-,CazBa2Cu3O7-,: Role of Apical Oxy- r gen for High-Temperature Superconductivity

Muller-Vogt (U Karlsruhe), and T. Wolf (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe) 

Replacing Y3+ by Ca2+ in YBazCu30~-~ (YBCO) is an alternative doping mechanism to the usual 0 doping. With polarization-dependent 01s and Cu2p NEXAFS 

on detwinned (Ca,Y)BCO single crystals, the hole distribution between the CuOz 

planes and CuO3 chains has been identified and hole counts for the orbitals near EF 

have been derived. For a polarization Ella, planar 0(2)2p orbitals are observed in 

01s spectra, while Ellc spectra near EF pick out contributions form the apical O(4) 

site. For Ella, the spectral weight of the planar Zhang-Rice (ZR) state carrying 

the superconductivity increases with increasing 0 or Ca doping (Fig. 1). Here, the 

electronic structure of the CuOz planes for the z=0.23, y=1.0 and the z=O, y=0.5 

compounds is very similar ~ unlike in the corresponding Ellc spectra, where the former exhibits no intensity at the first peak above EF. In general, Ellc spectra from 

samples with the same y are similar near EF and do not depend on z, showing that 

Ca substitution does not affect the apical site. From considerations like these we 

conclude that, regardless of the 0 content, Ca doping introduces holes exclusivelyto 

the CuOz planes, leaving the apical O(4) or the chain 0(1) site entirely unaffected. 

Most significantly, we find that Ca-doped but 0-depleted samples exhibit no 

superconductivity, independent of the hole count on the planes. On the other hand, 

0 doping increases the hole count at the planar and the apical (and chain) sites 

and restores T,. Thus, for high T, not only optimally doped planes are needed; the 

apical hole count is equally important. This result explains the decrease of TFax 

with Ca content, questions the validity of "universal" T, curves [I], and may have 

more general implications for HTSC, e.g., about the need for theoretical models 

involving extra-planar hopping.

Temperature Dependence of MCD Anisotropy of Lao.7Sro.3Mn03 I U4B I

(U. Maryland) 

Soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (SXRICD) has been well known to be a 

powerful tool for studying magnetic properties of ferromagnetic systems. SXMCD 

utilizes a core level absortion edges, and thus it is element specific. The obtained 

MCD anisotropy corresponds to the magnetization of the given elements. 

Here we present SXhICD study results of a colossal magnetoresistance material 

Lao.i.Sro.3 hInO3 including the temperature dependence of its anisotropy. Figure 1 

shows the SXMCD results at hln L2.3 edges obtained at 40K from 1900-4 thick 

epitaxial Lao.7Sro.3 hInO3 film on SrTiOs substrate. Different from the bulk crystal 

sample, the thin film shows nearly magnetic single domain behavior; low coercive 

field (< 100 Oe) and = 100magnetic moments. The obtained hICD signal is very 

large and the anisotropy (difference devidecl by sum) is as large as N 30the line 

shape of the hICD spectrum can be unclerstood by a model multiplet calculation. 

Nore interesting results were obtained in the study of the temperature dependence 

of the hICD anisotropy presented in Figure 2. The hICD spectra were obtained in a 

total electron yield mode which has about 50A penetration depth. Thus, the XICD 

anisotropy reflects the magnetization up to the first - 50A, rather than that of the 

whole sample, which can be obtained by SQUID measurements. Interestingly the 

temperatiire dependence of the XICD anisotropy is somewhat different from that 

of the magnetization obtained by SQUID, indicating that the magnetization near surface is consitlerably different from that of the bulk.

may MCD Studies of Heusler Alloys, NiMnSb and CoMnSb I U4B I 

J.-H. Park, H.-J. Kim, E. Vescovo (NSLS), W. Zhu, B. Sinkovic (NYU), C. Tanaka, 

and J. S. Modera (MIT) 

Since theoretical prediction of half-metallic ferromagnets and observation of large 

magneto-optical Kerr effects in PtMnSb and NiMnSb, interest in Mn-based Heusler 

alloys have been stimulated theoretically and experimentally. The band structure 

calculation predicts that the system is metallic for the majority spin but insulating 

for the minority spin. 

Here we present magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) studies of NiMnSb and 

CoMnSb using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopv (XAS) at Mn L2.3 and Ni(Co) 

L2,3 edges. F<gure shows the XAS spectra for-different helicities and the corre- sponding MCD spectra. The XAS data were collected in total electron yield mode. 

As can be seen in the figures, for both systems the XAS spectra exhibit large MCD 

effects at Mn L2,3 edges but very little MCD effects at Ni and Co L2,3 edges, indicating that the magnetic moments are mostly induced in the Mn sites. The spectral 

structure of Mn L2,3 edge MCD is very consistent with that expected from Mn2+ 

ions. Most interesting things are observed in the MCD of Ni L2,3 and Co L2 3 edges, 

which reflect the unoccupied conduction states. The MCD of the Ni L3/L2 edge 

shows positive/negative signals at the pre-edge while that of the Co L~/Lz edge 

shows opposite signals. These results show that the electron states very near EF 

have more majority spin character in NiMnSb but more minority spin character in 

CoMnSb.

Characterization of the Charge Carriers in a Double-layered Manganite La1.3Sr1.7Mnz07 

J.-H. Park (NSLS), T. Kimura, and Y. Tokura (U. Tokyo) 

Recent success in synthesis of double-layered manganites, La2-zz Sr1+22Mn207, 

attracted so much attention scientifically and technologically due to their noble electrical and magnetic properties. Similar to doped manganese perovskites, the doublelayered manganites exhibits large negative magnetoresistance. Furthermore, these 

have intrisic atomic scale magnetic multi-layer tunnel junctions. Each Ferromagnetic metallic MnOz bilayers sheet are separated by a nonmagnetic insulating (I) 

(La,Sr)ZOz layer, and thus the system forms a virtually infinite arrays of FM/I/FM 

junctions. 

Here we investigate the characteristics of charge carriers of an x = 0.35 doublelayered manganite by using polarization dependence 0 1s x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The 0 1s XAS is well known to present the unoccupied conduction states. 

To achieve complete polarization geometry and eliminate optical path variations, a 

single crystal sample in which the sample normal has 45" off from both c-axis and 

ab-plan, and an azimuthal rotation method was used. The figure shows the 0 1s 

XAS spectra for (a) E, and (b) E,b at two different temperature, 25K (FM) and 

150K (PI), and the differences. The XAS spectra show quite different line shape 

for different geometries due to the different dipole transition selection rules; 0 1s 

to 0 2p, for E, and to 0 2p,,, for Eab. The system undergoes PI to FM transition 

around Tc = 130K, and thus the first peak of the difference spectrum reflects the 

charge carriers at the Fermi level in FM phase, analogous to Drude peak in the 

optical absorption measurements. The first peak intensity is quite comparable for 

the two geometries. This result show that the system has comparable in-plane and 

out-of-plane charge carriers in FM phase. The in-plane and out-of-plane charge 

carrier ratio is estimated to be 45 : 55.

The charge-transfer system Lal-,Sr,CoO~ exhibits a wide variety of transport 

and magnetic properties as a function of temperature and Sr doping. This is partly 

due to the competition between the crystal field splitting and the Hund's rule eschange interaction on the Co sites leading to strong changes in the Co spin state as 

a function of the above parameters. In Fig. 1 we show the doping-dependent 0 K 

x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data of (paramagnetic) La1-,Sr,CoOs at 300 

K. The part of the 0 K-edge between 527 and 532 eV is in general interpreted as 

originating from unoccupied 0 2p states covalently mixed with Co 3d states. The 

dramatic increase of the 0 IC prepeak intensity with increasing Sr concentration 

gives evidence for a very strong 0 2p character of the doped charge carriers and for 

the charge-transfer character of the Lal-,Sr,.CoO.? system. The former may indicate the upcoming of a d"&dominatetl ground state of the Co"+ ions as has already 

been suggested for the fully doped SrCoOs which would be compatible with the 

ferromagnetic ordering of Lal-,Sr,CoOZ for x20.2 below 200 K. The temperature 

tlcpenclcncc of the RIri L-edges of undopcd Lacoo:< is ed in Fig. 2. Between 

15 K and 150 K significant changes can be observed clue to the transit ion 

from the low-spin (S=0) d" groiind state to a mixed-spin (S=0 and S=2) regime. 

For 150 K<T<400 K the systematic changes in the 1111 L data suggest an increase 

of Co''i+ ions with a high-spin (S=2) ground state.

L. Skve, F. Bartolomk, J.M. Tonnerre, D. Raous (LCG-CNRS), V. Chakarian 

(NRL), C.-C. Kao (NSLS) 

X-Ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS) experiments have been performed 

on a metallic multilayer at the i\l4 edge (2p1/2 + 4f transitions) of Ce in a Ce/Fe 

multilayer, using a linearly polarized soft X-ray beam together with a transverse 

scattering geometry. A Celo,;/Fe30); was chosen in order to provide a sufficient 

magnetic asymmetry ratio (the polarization of the Ce 4f shell is assumed to be 

located at the interface with the Fe layer according to XhICD experiment) and a 

sufficient number of Bragg peaks orders arising from the multilayered structure. 

Despite the huge absorption at this edge and the linked large anomalous scattering 

factors (up to 800 ro for f' and 400 ro for f'). we succeeded in measuring the 

four first Bragg peaks, the 4th order Bragg peak lying right around 45' with still 

measurable intensity. Rather large asymmetry ratios have been measured : up to 

10 % to be compared with the 1.5 % amplitude of the XhICD signal measured on a 

similar sample. This first resonant magnetic reflectivity experiment on a 4f element 

ascertains the possibility to stiidy rare earth elements by either soft X-ray magnetic 

reflectivity or diffraction on miiltilavcrs at thc hI cdgrs of rare earths. Thc non- constant evolution of the asymmetry ratio (mainly the change in shape) is directly 

linked to a non-constant profilc of thc 4f spin polarization across the Ce layer. A 

qiiantitative analysis, using the 4 orders of diffraction is underway to determine the 

4f polarisation through thc Cc layer.

1 Soft X-Ray Resonant Magnetic Reflectivity Study of Thin Films 1 U4B 1 Temperature Dependence of the Fe L-edge Magnetic EXAFS 

H. Wende, J.W. Freeland, Y.U. Idzerda (NRL), L. Lemke, and K. Baberschke 

(Freie U.) 

This work presents the first systematic investigation of temperature dependence 

of the Magnetic EXAFS (MEXAFS). We chose a polycrystalline Fe thin film of 500 

A as a model system as it is known that the Debye model describes the temperature 

dependence of the spin averaged EXAFS reasonably well. The deconvoluted experimental EXAFS data (x and FT) of the L3 edge, taken in transmission through 

the Fe film, are shown in Fig. la and lb. Similarly, the deconvoluted MEXAFS 

data (chi and FT) are shown in Fig IC and Id. A qualitative comparison of the 

MEXAFS data to EXAFS data shows that the main peak position of the Fourier 

transforms (Fig. lb and Id) is the same for both cases and the temperature dependent damping is comparable. The clear temperature dependence of the experimental 

data was fitted with the correlated Debye model yielding a Debye temperature of 

OD = (520 f 40)K (see Fig. 2) in good agreement with calorimetric measurements 

for the bulk system (Oo(ca1orimetric) = 470K). The Debye model analysis of the 

MEXAFS temperature dependence results in a value of the 'magnetic' Debye temperature of OD~ = (400 f 40)K, showing that the temperature dependence of the 

MEXAFS data is even stronger than in the EXAFS. Although the measurment 

temperatures are far below the Curie temperature of Fe, we have found an even stronger temperature dependence for the MEXAFS compared to the EXAFS. This 

shows that the temperature dependence of the MEXAFS is not only determined by 

the temperature dependence of the magnetic moment, which should be constant in 

the investigated temperature region (70K to 400K), but also by the relative thermal 

vibrations of the absorbing atom with respect to the backscattering atom.

Soft X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity measurements have been performed on thin films. Reflectivity scans have been recorded at the Fe L2,3 edges on a 

W32i/Feg1A/W12gi trilayer both versus the beam incident angle on the sample 

(reflectivity scans) and versus the photon energy (spectroscopic scans). A linearly 

polarized beam, together with a transverse geometry (magnetic field applied perpendicular to the reflection plane) have mainly been used. In that case both state of 

light (g and 7r polarisation) remain independent polarization states through the sam- ple, easing to introduce the effect of roughness. Thus the resolution of the Maxwell 

equations for a stratified media, including the calculation of the dielectric tensor 

using regular Fe XMCD spectra and the various interfacial roughness, allows to simulate accurately the X-Ray Transverse Kerr spectra for both the isotropic intensities 

and for the magnetic one, through the Asymmetry ratio, R= (I+-I-)/(I++I-). The 

asymmetry ratio amplitude are found to be of the order of 5-20 % at the Fe L2,3 res- onance, to be compared to the typical 1% in conventional TMOKE on 3d transition 

metals. We also study a Ir / Feo.9Mno.l / Ir trilayer, epitaxially grown on a MgO 

substrate. Asymmetry ratio, up to 25 % measured at the Fe L edges are accurately 

simulated using the standard bcc Fe XMCD spectra, allowing to ascribe a 2.1 p~ 

magnetic moment. A signal of 1 % has been recorded at the Mn L edges ascertaining the magnetic ordering of Mn atoms in such a solid solution. Simulation of the 

Mn L edges magnetic reflectivity plead for an antiferromagnetic orientation between 

the Mn net moment and that of Fe, with an equivalent coercitive fields recorded 

through element specific hysteresis loop measurements in reflectivity mode.

Characterization of Bitumen-Polymer h'lixtures by Infrared Microspectroscopy 

J-L. Bantignies, G. Fuchs (ELF Atochem, France) 

U4IR 

Bitumens are the heavy organic fraction of petroleum products. The main industrial applications of these materials are road surfaces and for such applications 

polymers are added to the bitumen to improve the mechanical properties. which in 

turn depend on the homogeneity of the mixture. Any characterization of the mixture using infrared microspectroscopy (IAIS) with a conventional (thermal) source 

is limited to a lateral resolution of about 30 microns, which is inadequate due to 

the 1 and 50 micron length scale of heterogeneities in the mixture. The situation 

is much improved using synchrotron radiation, however. To prepare samples for 

the microscope, the bitumen-polymer mixtures were first heated in a oven at 353K 

and then spread on 2 nim thick BaF2 pellets. This method does not allow control over the thickness. Fig. 1 shows the IR spectrum of a Bitunien/polymer mixture. 

The 1377 cm-' band (dCHz-CH3) is a signature for the bitiinien and the 967 cm-' 

band (gCH butadiene) is assigned to the polymer. The mapping experiments were 

macle in transmission mode with 2 cui-' resolution with 128 pixels per spectrum 

using 16x16 micron apertures arid 8 micron steps. After mapping, the integrated

U4IR Infrared h'licro Spectroscopy by Using Synchrotron Radiation Application to Microstructural Hair Characterization 

J-L. Bantignies, G. Fuchs, (ELF Atochem, France), D. Lutz, S. Marrull (Yves 

Rocher, France) 

Infrared Microspectroscopy (IMS), using thermal sources, is widely employed 

in the cosmetic industrial environment for the analysis of hair. Nevertheless, the 

lateral resolution achieved (about 30 microns) does not allow a local characterization 

(few microns resolution) of the structure of the hair. The IR synchrotron source overcomes this limitation and a chemical imaging of the hair at the micron level is 

herein presented. 

From the morphological point of view, the human hair shaft structure consists 

of three main components (Fig. 1). The hair is typically composed of an inner 

core, the mediilla ( 10 microns diameter), which is siirroiinded by the cortex which 

constitutes the main part of the bulk of the fiber. The outer layer, which is exposed 

to the environment, is the cuticle with an average thickness of 5-10 microns. 

Chemically, hair mainly consists of keratin, a protein highly cross-linked by the 

amino acid cystine giving well defined amide signatlire in the middle infrared. 

For the IhIS experiments, samples were prepared by embedding hairs in polymer 

blocks and sectioning them iisirig a rnicrotonie. The cross-sectioned cuts were on the order of 6 microns thick (Fig. 1). The polymer was chosen to have bands well 

away from those of the hair samples. 

The hair section shown in Fig. 1 was spectroscopically mapped with a lateral 

resolution of 6 microns. The integrated absorbance of the amide A band (3290 

CIII-I) was then extracted and a contour map showing thc absorbance of this band as a function of position in the sample is shomri iri Fig. 2. Since this harid is present 

throughout the hair, but at tlifkring coriceritratioiis in the varioiis components, 

the cuticle, cortex ant1 mctliilla are all revealed in this map. The variations in 

absorbance which give the contrast are consistent with the differences in protein 

composition hetween these components. The microscope will now he iised to stiitlv 

the irifluence of tlyes and cosmctic reagents on the structure of hair samples.

U4IR The c-Axis Reponse of Y1-,CaZBazCusOi.-s Single Crystals Studied 

by Far-Infrared Ellipsometry 

C. Bernhard, R. Henn, A. Wittlin, and M. Cardona (Max-Planck-Institut fuer 

Festkoerperforschung) 

We studied the c-axis reponse of Yo.s~Cao.l4BazCU307--6 crystals by far-infrared 

ellipsometry. The substitution of Y3+ by Ca2+ introduces extra hole carriers into 

the CuOz planes. Therfore, the strongly overdoped regime can be explored for Y-123 

and the oxygen content and metallic character of the CuO chains can be varied while 

the doping of the CuOz planes is kept constant. This provides a unique possibility 

to test if the unusual frequency- and temperature dependence of the electronic c- axis conductivity a,(w,T) is determined either by the charge dynamics of the CuOz 

planes or rather by the spacing layers including the CuO chains. Fig. la and lb show 

rlc(w,T) for two optimally doped crystals, a Ca-free and almost fully oxygenated 

YBazCU306.g with Tc=Tc,,,,=92 K and b] Ca-substituted and oxygen deficient 

Y~.s~C~O.~~B~ZCU~OG.~ with Tc=Tc,,,,=85 K. The absolute value of the electronic 

part of rlc is clearly higher for the Ca-free crystal. The frequency- and temperature 

dependence of ale, however, is very similar for both crystals. Notably, for the Ca 

substituted crystal there occurs no sign of a "pseudogap-like" suppression of ulc in 

the normal state as it has been observed for the oxygen deficient and underdoped 

Ca-free crystals. This demonstrates that the 'pseudogap-effect' is not related to the 

electronic properties of the spacing layer (the oxygen deficiency of the CuO chains). 

Instead, our results imply that the "pseudogap-effect" is intimately related to the 

underdoped state of the CUOZ planes, i.e. the charge carriers (in the normal state) 

are confined to the CuOz planes. 

A rather different behavior is observed for the strongly overdoped 

Y0.8~Cao.l4BazCu~06.95 crystal with Tc=63 K for which alc(w,T) is metallic in 

the normal state (see Fig. 2a). The relaxation of the charge confinment in the 

normal state is accompanied by two remarkable effects in the SC state (Fig. 2b). 

Firstly, the the SC gap is strongly reduced since the onset of the reduction of 

spectral weigth (due to the condensation of the carriers into a delta function at 

zero frequency) is suppresed to 2A=420 cm-' from 2A=620-650 cm-' in case of 

the optimally doped crystals. Secondly, there remains a large fraction of unpaired 

quasiparticles within the SC gap.

U4IR Infrared Microspectroscopy Studies of Electronic and Electro-Optical 

Materials 

L.G. Casagrande (Northrop Grumman Corporation) 

The performance of electronic and electrooptical materials and devices is dependent on their physical and chemical quality and uniformity. These materials 

can be difficult to fabricate, and frequently contain microscopic defects and inhomogeneities such as included secondary phases which can detract from device 

performance. Understanding the nature of such defects is vital to reducing their 

formation during fabrication and to determining their effect on device performance. 

We have used the Fourier-transform infrared microspectrometer originally on the 

midinfrared beamline at port U2B, now on beamline U4IR, to study these defects 

in the non-linear optical material AgGaSez. We have spatially mapped 100 pm x 

100 pm regions of this material containing microscopic defects -10 to 20 pm across. The infrared beam was shuttered to a 12 pm square and successive spectra were obtained in 10 pm steps. Figure 1 shows spectra obtained from various locations in 

such a region. The average transmission spectrum is generally representative of this 

material without an anti-reflection coating, although it deviates slightly from the 

standard FTIR transmission spectrum of the entire sample. For spectra obtained 

away from the defect, the spectrum is nearly identical to the average spectrum. 

However, for spots at or near the surface defect, decreases in transmission occur 

which may indicate the presence of optically absorbing impurities. The minimum 

transmission in the spectrum at the second on-defect point occurs at v=2941 cm-l, 

and the map of transmission at this frequency vs. location is shown in Figure 2. 

This shows the unique potential for IR microspectroscopy to correlate microscopic 

chemical analysis with optical microscopy techniques. Additional work to determine 

the nature of these defects is underway.

Mapping the Chemical Composition of Subchondral Bone in Osteoarthritis Using Infrared Microspectroscopy 

h1.R. Chance, L.h'I. hliller, D. Hammerman, R. Stanley (AECOhI), and C. Carlson 

(Bowman-Gray Sch. of Med) 

Osteoarthritis naturally occurs in young adult female cynomolgus monkeys and 

it closely resembles the human disease. In the knee joint, it is characterized by the 

breakdown of the articular cartilage and marked thickening of the adjacent subchondral bone. There is a strong correlation between the severity of the osteoarthritic 

lesions and the thickness of the subchondral bone, but it is unclear why this is the case. \\'e question whether the newly-deposited subchondral bone has a different 

chemical structure/composition compared to the older bone, leading to the development of osteoarthritis. Presently, we are using infrared micro-spectroscopy to 

study the chemical composition of the subchondral bone as a function of snbchondral bone thickness. \Ve are able to map the subchondral bone from the articular 

cartilage (older bone) to the marrow space (newer bone) and compare their chemical compositions. Bone proteins. priinarily collagen, absorb infrared light in the 

14.50 - 1650 cm-' region. An intense, broad band from 900 - 1200 cni-' and a 

double-peaked band from 500 - 650 cm- are attributed to bone mineral, i.e. phosphate ions in hydroxyapatite. A small absorption centered at 875 cni-' arises from 

carbonate-substitutetl hydroxyapatite. These bands are sensitive to mineral content (i.e. carbonate, phosphate, acid phosphate), mineral crystallinity, arid the 

content/nature of the organic matrix. They are ciirvc-fit and/or integrated antl 

cornpared as a function of (1) state of the bone, i.e. thicknrss of tht: subchondral 

plate, antl (2) age of bone, i.e. position in the siibchondral plate. 

Anharmonicity of Low Frequency Vibrational Modes in Amino Acid 

Polymers 

h4.R. Chance, L.M. hiiller, Q. He, and S. Schwartz (AECOM) 

Low frequency (collective) modes in proteins (-10-600 cm-l) have received considerable attention because it is thought that domains or sub-domains in proteins are 

involved in correlated motions on picosecond timescales. It is clear that motions at 

these frequencies make an important contribution to the mean-square displacement 

of atoms from their equilibrium (vibrational) positions. Thus, these motions are the 

first steps in functionally important motions leading to large-scale conformational 

changes. Such changes are critical to structural and functional processes like protein 

folding, cooperativity, and protein-protein or protein-ligand interactions involved in 

electron transfer, enzyme catalysis, antl signaling. Poly-amino acids provide a model 

system for understanding collective modes in proteins. By polymerizing different 

amino acid monomers, varying secondary and tertiary structures can be created 

and studied with far infrared absorption spectroscopy. They provide a controlled 

method for identifving and characterizing anv "breathing modes" attributable to 

various (a-helical or (6-sheet type structures in proteins. \Ve have also obtained 

the far-infrared spectra of poly-L-phenylalanine, poly-L-alanine, poly-L-tryptophan, 

antl poly-L-leucine from 10 to 295 K in 20 K increments. The results demonstrate 

(1) there are several (ranging from 4-10, depending on the poly-amino acid) low frequency modes in the far-infrared region, (2) the bands below -200 cm-' all increase 

in frequency with tlecreasing temperature, arid (3) this terriperature-tlepentlence in- creases with tlrcrrasing band frcquency. These results suggest that these rnotles 

are highly anharmonic, consistent with various computational studies. Currently, 

ciirve-fit,t,ing analysis is bc,ing used to aid iri the itleritificatiori of various modes, 

assignment of their origins, antl their sensitivity to ternperature. 
Chemical Composition of Bone Osteons in Osteoporosis and Osteopetrosis In Situ 

M.R. Chance, L.M. Miller (AECOM), R. Mendelsohn (Rutgers U.), and A. Boesky 

(Hosp. for Special Surgery) 

The unique strength and rigidity of bone arises from a combination of organic 

components (primarily collagen) and inorganic (mineral) components. Over a lifetime, bone is continuously remodeling itself. Old bone is eroded away in a tunnellike fashion by osteoclasts and new bone is deposited layer-by-layer in the "tunnel" 

by osteoblasts. From a cross-sectional view, these new layers of bone, collectively 

termed an osteon, appear as series of concentric circles through a microscope. A typical osteon measures 200 (pm in diameter, where the youngest bone is at the center. 

In many diseased states of bone, there is an imbalance between bone production 

and resorption, resulting in overgrowth (osteopetrosis) or undergrowth (osteoporosis) of bone. To date, it is unclear whether the chemical composition of the bone 

in a diseased state is the same as normal bone. Using infrared micro-spectroscopy, we are able to visibly and chemically image individual osteons in terms of growth-, 

site-, and age-dependent variations in mineral content (Le. carbonate, phosphate, 

acid phosphate), mineral crystallinity, and the content/nature of the organic matrix. A significant advantage of this technique over other chemical methods is that 

the bone does not need to be homogenized before testing; we are able to study 

cross-sectional samples of bone in situ at a resolution of 3-5 (pm. In this study, we present a comparison of human osteoporotic bone to osteopetrotic bone. Early 

results show some similarities and also significant differences between osteopetrotic 

and osteoporotic bone. For both diseased states of bone, the ratios of phosphateto-collagen and carbonate-to-collagen concentrations are similar and these ratios 

increases as bone matures (from the center to the periphery of the osteon). Also for 

both, the phosphate ions (Poi-) are replaced by other anions such as carbonate 

(CO;-) as bone ages, i.e. the hydroxyapatite becomes non-stoichiometric. However 

in contrast, we observe significantly more COi- substitution in osteoporotic bone 

than osteopetrotic bone as the bone matures. 

U4IR IR Microspectroscopy of Laser Drilled Graphite/BMI Structural 

Composite Laminates 

D. Di Marzio, L. G. Casagrande, and J. Clarke (Northrop Grumman) 

Sound attenuation is a major concern in both military and commercial aerostructures. Arrays of microholes drilled into nacelles and other aircraft components can 

effectively muffle engine noise. The use of advanced composite structural materials 

present a new challenge for this sound reduction technology. In this project, an automated laser drilling system is used to produce hole arrays in graphite/bismaleimide 

composite panels. Cylindrical holes have been produced with a uniform diameter of 

30 mil and minimal heat damage to the surrounding composite matrix. Reflectance 

IR microspectroscopy was used to confirm the integrity of the bismaleimide used 

to hold the graphite fibers together near the laser drilled holes. Cross sections of 

the laser drilled holes were prepared, and a 50 pm IR beam diameter was used to 

scan across the cross sectioned holes. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the IR mea- surements of the cross sectioned panel. Figure 2 shows the dispersion corrected 

absorbance from a location far from the hole and a location next to the hole. The 

carbonyl peak near 1750 cm-', which is an indicator of relative oxidation for the 

bismaleimide, shows a small increase in integrated area in the region next to the 

laser drilled hole, as compared to the region far from the hole. A small amount 

of oxidation is expected next to the hole due to local laser heating. Spectra taken 

close to, but not next to the hole, exhibit no bismaleimide oxidation. Using IR 

microspectroscopy, automated laser drilling has been demonstrated as an effective 

method for fabricating sound attenuating microhole arrays in structural composites.

Commercial and military marine and aerospace structural materials can experience significant damage due to environmental factors such as oxidation, corrosion, 

UV exposure, and fouling. Protective coatings are needed to provide a barrier to 

these damaging environmental effects. LVe are currently developing a plasma spray 

process to deposit a coating of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) onto composite structural components. LCP films have been demonstrated to be highly impervious to 

oxygen ad moisture penetration, and they exhibit a high degree of mechanical 

strength. LCP powder is fed into a plasma spray gun, and the powder particles are melted antl propelled at high velocity to the part to be coated. Figure 1 shows a 

schematic of the plasma spray process. IR microspectroscopy was used to determine 

the degree of LCP particle oxidation antl burning on a local scale as a result of the 

plasma spray process. Figure 2 shows the IR reflectance spectra of uncharred and 

charred LCP particles in a plasma sprayed coating developed early in the program. 

The IR spot size was 50 pm. The iincharretl particles exhibit a strong organic 

vibrational spectrum, especially below 2000 cm-l . The charred particles show a 

dramatic reduction in the organic signature, and they exhibit a reflectance 5pectrurn more characteristic of piire carbon. Dramatic improvernerlts have since been

Identification of Organic Compounds in the ALH84001 hteteorite I XlA, I r from Mars I U4IRI 

G. J. Flynn (SUNY at Plattsburgh), L. P. Keller and hI. A. hIiller (MVA Inc.) 

kIcKay et al. [1] suggest the ALH84001 meteorite contains evidence of possible 

ancient biological activity on Mars. One line of evidence is the concentration of 

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), frequently produced by the decay of 

living material. occuring in close proximity to magnetite and sulfide similar in size 

and shape to those produced by terrestrial bacteria [l]. 

We employed the Scanning Transmission X-Ray hIicroscope on beamline X1A to 

determine the bonding statc(s) and the spatial distribution of the carbon in ultramicrotome thin-sections of carbonates globules antl the rims, where the magnetites 

arid sulfides were found, on these carbonates from ALH84001 [a]. Both the carbonate arid the rim sections contained carbon-rich regions, but each gave a different 

C-XANES spectrum, suggesting the major carbon-bearing compound mas different 

in the rim and the carbonate [a]. \'e then examined the same samples using a 

Spectra-Tech micro-Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. on beamline 

U4IR, to identify the carbon compoiincls. 

Transmission Electron hIicroscope (TEhI) examination of the rim samples in& 

catetl were composed of feldspathic glass antl contained micron-size chromite, arid 

regions of fine-grained magnetite antl sulfide. The FTIR spectra of the rim snrnples showed a broad absorption near 1000 cni-I, characteristic of silicate glass, antl 

two weaker features at 2918 cm-l arid 2850 cni-I. These two features are consistent in position arid relative depths witli the symmetric antl asymmetric stretching 

vibrations of the C-H2 in aliphatic hydrocarbons. 

The FTIR spectra of thc carbonate globule showed a narrow ahsorption at about 

1500 cm-I, characteristic of carbonate, antl a weaker absorption at 2964 crn-'. Two 

even weaker features appear at 2920 cm- ' and 2850 cm- '. The featiire at 2964 crnis characteristic of the C-Hs asymmetrical stretching vibration. Although a weaker 

C-H:I symmetrical stretching vibration generally occurs near 2870 cm- ' , this feature 

is absent in the carbonate globule spectrwn, and is suppressed in certain cornpoiintls 

containing C-H3 groups. One particularly good spectrum of the carbonate globule 

sample appears to show a weak. broad absorptiori over the range 2990 cm-' arid 

3060 cm-'. Follow-up measurements, to determine if this featiire could indicate the 

detection of C-H strctching vibrations of a niixture of PAHs. which would have an 

absorption near 3030 crii-', are in progress. 

These preliminary results confirm that high concentrations (of order 1 to 5 percent) of organic carbon are associated with the carbonate globules and rims in 

ALtI8-1001. and further confirm the STSSI observation that the rim antl the car- bonate globule contain different types of carbon. The latter result seems to rule 

out the simplest form of organic coritaniiriation of XLH8-1001. simple evaporation 

of an organic-rich fliiid. which would be expected to leal-e the same residue in both 

the carbonate globiiles antl the acljacent rim material. although selective. mineral 

specific, contamination cannot be excluded.

I U4IR I Experimental Check of the Diffuse Scattering of Conduction Electrons by Adsorbates on Metallic Surfaces 

M. Hein and A. Otto (U. Duesseldorf, Germany), P. Dumas (LURE and LASIRCNRS-France) and G.P. Williams (NSLS) 

The initial scientific programm at the U4IR beamline was dedicated to the adsorption of molecules on metallic surfaces. It was shown, in the early go's, that two 

unexpected features, namely an antiabsorption band accompanied by a broadband 

IR reflectance change, are related to vibrational dynamics at surfaces. In order 

to account for these observations, a theory, mainly developped by B.N. J.Persson, 

suggested that there is a friction force between the collective motion of the adsorbate parallel to the surface, and the substrate conduction electrons, leading to the 

broadband IR reflectance change (when the frequency of the IR light departs from 

that of the collective motion), and to a abrupt changes of the reflectivity (antiabsorption band)- when the frequency of the light coincides with the frequency of the 

collective motion of the adsorbates. This can be viewed as the loss of conduction 

electron diffuse scattering, (e.g. a change in the resistance of the metallic film) 

by the adsorbate, which pays the role of a static impurity potential, breaking the 

translational symmetry at the surface. 

Confirmation of the model , and in particular the role of the lifetime of the adsorbate vibrational mode, is of critical importance, and was addressed by simultaneous 

measurements of the DC resistance and broadband IR reflectance changes for CO, 

0 and Cu on Cu(ll1) thin epitaxial films, grown on TiO2. By varying the thickness 

of the film, and the nature of the adsorbate, we have shown: 

I- That the shape of broadband IR reflectance change is well accounted for by 

the theoretical model (Fig. 1) 

2- There is a linear relationship between the IR reflectance change and the resistance change, ( Fig2), as predicted by the diffuse scattering model: 

A Rp / R = (4ne2/mccos(Q))[t Ap (t)] 

where ( A Rp / R) is the reflectance change at the asymptotic limit, n is the 

number of conduction electron per atom, m the electron mass, t the thickness of 

the film and Ap the resistivity change.

I U4IR I Spatially Resolved Characterization of Coal Heterogeneity with Synchrotron Infrared Microspectroscopy ~ 

F.M. Hoffmann (SCI-MED), P. Dumas (LURE and LASIR-CNRS, France), G.P. 

Williams (NSLS) and J. Paul (Bilkent U., Turkey) 

Coal is a very complex material consisting essentially of carbon ring structures 

(coal macerals) and minerals (alumino silicates minerals with attached H20 and OH 

groups). Each of these groups can contain many different components and elemental 

compositions. In coal liquefaction the coal component is hydrogenated with different precursors for MoS2 and other sulfided hydrogenation catalysts. The dispersion 

and the location of these precursors is an important factor in controlling the activity. 

The hydrogenation catalyst, which produces hydrogen, should be located in close 

proximity to the coal macerals to facilitate the reaction of the hydrogen with the 

coal. Therefore, a spatially resolved characterization of the dispersion and location 

of the catalytic precursors is of great importance. The difficulty of performing IR 

spectroscopy on coal samples derives from the high complexity and heterogeneity 

of the material. The particulate samples of coal used for infrared analysis must be 

finely ground because of the high absorbance of the coal. Because of the different 

derivations from biological matter the IR spectra obtained from pulverized samples 

give average information rather than being characteristic of any individual component in the coal. In the present work we have utilized IR synchrotron radiation on 

the U4IR beamline to perform Infrared microscopy of coal samples. Coal particles 

from 20-100 micron in diameter are characterized at a special resolution of 6 x 6 

microns. Fig. 1 shows an optical micrograph of a typical coal particle together 

with an infrared spectrum obtained from the central region of the sample where 

both maceral and mineral constituents are present. Surface mapping of the entire 

particle shows a different distribution of the macerals and for the minerals in this 

particle, as indicated by the intensity profiles of characteristic C-H bands at 2950 

cm-' and 0-H bands at 3610 cm-l. Further work will investigate the distribution 

and dispersion of precursors for hydrogenation catalysts on these particles.

The activation of COz and NO2 are important elementary reactions in catalysis 

and environmental pollution control. Previous work on the activation and compound formation of COZ by alkali metals has shown the formation of potassium 

oxalate K2C20.1 and its subsequent decomposition to carbonate [l]. The present 

work investigates the activation of nitrogen dioxide in the presence of potassium. 

The experiments were conducted by evaporating potassium in the presence of NOz. 

Both the pressure of NO2 and the evaporation rate of the K could be controlled thus 

allowing to control the stoichiometry and providing selectivity for certain intermediates. The results presented in Fig. 1 show a typical reaction sequence obtained 

under NO2 saturation conditions. The vibrational spectra obtained during evaporation show the formation of N20.1 at low temperature (90K). Subsequent annealing 

of the layer induces decomposition of the layer to nitrate. Changing the K:NOz 

stoichiometry reveals more complex tlecompositiori pathways, which are currently 

investigated with temperature-programmer1 time-evolved IR spectroscopy.

Interface *

Leger (U. de Poitiers, France) 

The objective of this program is to elucidate the structure of the electrode/solution interface. as well as those of electrochemically formed surface films 

and adsorbed layers. Far infrared spectra of the surface films formed upon anodic 

oxidation of copper have been obtained "in-situ" for the first time in aqueous solution environments using a synchrotron source. The spectroelectrochemical behavior 

of copper was studied in NaOH antl in a dilute solution of KSCN in perchlorate. 

The oxide film at -0.05 V vs. SCE in 0.1 hI NaOH solution has been identified as 

Cu20. In the passive region at 0.3 V, CuO and Cii(OH)2 appear to be present on the surface (Fig. la). Vibrational bands observed in 0.025 hl KSCN/pcrchlorate 

solution are attributed to a surface film of copper (I) thiocyanate (Fig. lb). The 

band positions are in good agreement with published data on the corresponding 

bulk material but some difference in intensity is observed.

Infrared Materials for Studying Biological Systems With Infrared 

Microspectroscopy 

L. Miller (AECOM) and L. Carr (NSLS) 

For infrared microspectroscopy, samples such as cells and biological tissues are often supported on or between infrared-transparent window materials such as barium fluoride (BaFZ), potassium bromide (KBr), and zinc selenide (ZnSe). These 

materials have refractive indices that are frequency dependent, so the focal point 

that one sees with visible light through the infrared microscope is different than the 

infrared focal point where the spectrum is taken. In other words, a sample that 

appears focused with visible light is really out of focus to the infrared light, so that 

the sample area chosen for data collection is really larger than it visibly appears. 

The smaller the aperture, the more significant is this focal point "error". Since 

synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy of biological samples involves apertures of 

less than 20 (pm, we find that a focus shift correction must be applied in order to 

obtain spectra with high spatial resolution. Using the frequency-dependence of the 

refractive indices for BaFz, KBr, and ZnSe, we have calculated the expected focus 

shifts for these materials as a function of infrared frequency. Experimentally, we have taken infrared spectra on these materials with a range of focus-shifts from the 

visible focal point and we find good agreement with our calculated values. For windows with a 2 mm thickness, we find differences of M 20, 25, and 60 pm between the 

visible and infrared focal points of BaFz, KBr, and ZnSe, respectively. Therefore, 

after visibly focusing a sample that is mounted on or between the above-mentioned 

materials, the sample must be "defocused by translating the sample stage so that 

the sample is focused for collecting the infrared spectrum. 

Characterization of Bone Mineral Model Compounds Through FarInfrared Spectroscopy 

L.M. Miller, M.R. Chance, Q. He(AECOM), R. Mendelsohn (Rutgers U.), A. 

Boesky (Hosp. Special Surgery), and V. Vairavamurthy (Shoreham-Wading River 

Hydroxyapatite, Calo(P04)G (OH)z, is the primary mineral component of bone. 

Bone growth begins as amorphous calcium phosphate crystallizes into hydroxyapatite. As the bone matures, the size, crystallinity, and stoichiometry of the hydroxyapatite crystals change. For example, the phosphate and hydroxide sites are often 

substituted by other anions such as acid phosphate (HPOi-), carbonate (CO:-), 

and fluoride (F-). The nature of the phosphate environment in bone can be characterized through analysis of a series of four phosphate bands in the far-infrared region 

(500 - 650 cm-l). The intensities and peak positions of these modes are sensitive to 

the hydroxyapatite crystal size, structure, and stoichiometry. Thus, we have grown 

a series of hydroxyapatite crystals, varying in (1) the initial solution concentration 

of calcium phosphate, (2) the initial solution concentrations of non-stoichiometric 

components such a carbonate and fluoride, and (3) the time of crystal growth. The 

far-infrared spectra of these crystal standards were collected in the form of potassium bromide pellets. Currently, curve-fitting and integration analysis are being 

used to correlate the peak positions and intensities of these modes as a function of 

the above-mentioned crystal growth parameters. These results will be valuable for 

the interpretation of far-infrared spectra from non-synthetic bone samples.

c3 Interchain Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions Between the Filaments of I Actin 

L.hL hJIiller (AEC0M)and B. Chasan (Boston U.) 

Hydrogen-bonding interactions are crucial to the function of many biological 

molecules. The vibrational modes associated with hydrogen bonds fall in the farinfrared region (150-250 cm-'). Actin is the primary component of muscle fibers. 

The single polypeptide unit is known as G-actin. When G-actin polymerizes to 

form actin filaments (i.e. muscle fibers), it is called F-actin. F-actin filaments are formed as two G actin monomers are twisted into a helix and it is thought that 

they are held together by a network of hydrogen-bonding interactions. Thus, a 

comparison of the far infrared spectra of G- versus F-actin provides a method for 

stntlying hydrogen-bonding interactions in proteins. IVe have grown films of Gand F-actin on polyethylene disks and determined their far infrared spectra. IVe 

observe 3 modes (532, 544, antl 590 cm-') in both G- and F-actin. In addition, 

we observe intense features in the F-actin spectrum at 181 antl 254 cm-l. which 

are absent in the monomeric G-actin, and may be assignable to hydrogen bonding 

interactions in the F-actin. We plan to continue onr studies on G- antl F-actin by 

growing films under different conditions, such as in the presence of D20 antl varying 

salt concentrations. D20 is expected to shift the frequency of hydrogen-bonding 

interactions and various salt conditions provide different levels of polymerization 

of G-actin into F-actin. In addition, the polarized nature of the infrared light will 

make it possible to study the orientation of the actin filaments. 

Metal-Ligand Stretching Frequencies in Hemeproteins Through FarInfrared Spectroscopy 

L. Miller (AECORt), T. Sage and P. Champion (Northeastern U.) 

The metal-ligand stretching frequencies in metalloproteins fall in the far-infrared 

region. The iron atom in the hemeprotein, myoglobin, binds four nitrogen ligands 

from the heme group, one nitrogen ligand from a histidine residue in the protein, 

and the sixth coordination position is the oxygen-binding site. Since other ligands 

such as carbon monoxide and nitric oxide also competitively bind to the oxygenbinding site, it is important to characterize the structural and electronic intermediates that are involved in the ligand-binding process. Since the iron-ligand bond 

can be photolyzed at 10 K. we are able to use photolyzetl/unphotolyzed difference 

FTIR to probe vibrational modes such as (1) the iron-ligand stretching frequency, 

(2) the iron-proximal histidine stretching freqnency, antl (3) heme doming modes, 

all of which differ in the ligand-bound and photolyzed states. Resonance Raman 

studies have also been used to identify some of these modes. However, the conditions by which several of them are resonance-eIilianced are still unclear, making 

infrared spectroscopy a necessary alternative. In the past, we have been unsnccessfill with myoglobin films in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on polyethylene clue to (1) the 

temperature-tlepentlence of the far infrared spectrum of PVA antl (2) the opticallyopaque nature of polyethylene, making it tlifficnlt to photolyze myoglobin at low 

temperature. Recently, we have shown that solution samples in 75:25 glycero1:water 

(50 pm pathlength) between sapphire windows are reasonably transparent in the 

far infrared region below 100 K antl cornpletelv transparent in the visible. These 

findings will greatly improve the ability to (I) photolyze the sample, (2) collect high 

quality difference spectra, antl ( 3) collect far-infrarccl protein spectra in solution-a 

more biologically relevant stRte of the protein.

U4IR Infrared Microspectroscopy of Small Dust Particles of Astrophysical 

Origins*

One of the main objectives in studying interplanetary dusts is to qualify their 

physical, chemical, and structural (mineralogical) properties. The ultimate goal is 

to understand the origin and composition of comets and asteroids, which may carry 

information about the origin of the Solar System. Such dust particles have been 

collected from the statosphere or low Earth orbit. Some of these particles are shown 

in Figure 1. 

IR microspectroscopy appears to be a useful technique for characterizing the 

chemical composition of these dusts due to its fast and reliable analysis. Here we 

demonstrate how the synchrotron infrared source allows for chemical information 

to be obtained from particles only a micron or two in size (see Figure 2). The 

presence of water, silicates, organics (aliphatics) and an olivine mineral phase have 

been tentatively identified using synchrotron-based spectra. Most of these features 

can not be detected using the conventional (globar) source, due to its low intrinsic 

brightness.

Vibrational Dynamics of CSO on Noble Metal Surfaces I U4IR 

P.Rudolf ( U.Namur, Belgium), R. Raval ( U.Liverpoo1, England), P. Dumas ( 

LURE and ASIR-CNRS-France), and G.P. Williams (NSLS) 

Previous experiments by infrared spectroscopy on c60 adsorbed on Ag(ll1) sur- faces (see Annual report 1994, 1995), carried out at the U4IR beamline, have shown 

that molecules are chemisorbed on the surface, and that the dominant feature 

is for a Ag(2) Raman mode, which becomes IR active upon adsorption. The appearance of the Raman active mode was attributed either to a dynamical charge 

transfer from the silver substrate to the c60, or to a symmetry breaking upon adsorption. Recent experiments have been carried out on two other surfaces: Au(ll0) 

and Cu(100) in order: I- To follow any charge transfer dependence between these 

surfaces on the frequency of the Ag(2) Raman mode, and 2- To carefully record 

the broadband infrared change on the three surfaces upon CGo chemisorption, and 

to verify if this changes agrees with the diffuse scattering model of the conduction 

electron. 

We have observed a slight frequency change of the Ag(2) mode for c60 on the 

three surfaces (1450 cm-' for Ag(ll1) and Au(ll0) and 1440 cm-' on Cu(lOO), 

which apparently does not followed the prediction of the charge transfer hypothesis. 

More interestingly, the broadband IR reflectance change is well accounted for by the 

diffuse scattering model (Figs. 1 & 2). According to the friction coefficient model, 

the lifetime of the collective motion of (360, parallel to the surface, and due to 

deexciation via electron-hole pair creation, can be determined from the asymptotic 

limit of the reflectance change. We found values ranging between 170 ps and 220ps 

for Cu, and Au, Ag respectively. Accounting for the Newns-Anderson model, which 

states that the lifetime is proportional to the mass of the adsorbate, and depends on the density of states induced by the adsorbed molecule at the Fermi level, the 

value of the lifetime indicates a high density of states induced by the CSO molecules 

upon chemisorption on noble metal surfaces.

In order to fully understand the dynamics and lateral potential energy surface 

of CO molecules chemisorbed onto Cu(100) we undertook a far-IR study of the 

bonding vibrational modes for all the isotopes. The data will be combined into a 

paper which also includes helium atom scattering measurements of the lowest frequency frustrated translational mode. The figure shows the changes in reflectance 

induced by the CO and fits using an expression of Persson and Volokitin (Surface Science 310, 314 (1994)) for non-local optics. The data show broadband 

background changes, a dip corresponding to the carbon-metal stretch mode, and a peak (anti-absorption) corresponding to the frustrated rotational mode. The Persson/Volokitin formula takes into account the the background shape and the hindered 

rotation mode. Parameters for the fit are all related to and are close to values for 

bulk Cu and include the Fermi velocity, the plasma frequency, the skin depth and 

the mean free path. The carbon-metal stretch mode was fitted to a Gaussian line 

shape.

I Low Frequency Dynamics for mixtures of S and CO on Cu(100) I U4IR I 

To understand the behavior of catalysts better, studies of Sulfur and CO coadsorption systems on metals are required. The adsorption of Sulfur /Cu (100) at 

300K and CO/Sulfur mixtures /Cu( 100) at 90K has been studied by Fourier Transform Infra-red Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy in the 250-2500 cm-1 frequency 

range using synchrotron radiation. The first system is created by exposing Cu(100) 

to various amounts of HzS at 300K. The HzS dissociates, leaving S atoms adsorbed 

at 4-fold hollow sites. Subsequently, the S/Cu( 100) substrate is cooled and ex- posed to 2L (2x104 torr-s) CO. We have observed a broadband absorption for the 

S/Cu(lOO) system, as illustrated in Figure 1. The fit to this curve uses the bulk 

parameters that have been found in the past for CO/Cu broadband absorptions[l]. 

The subsequent CO adsorption results in a partial coverage of CO. as confirmed 

by the appearance of the CO stretch at about 2000 cm-', but the broadband ab 

sorption and concomitant hindered rotation previously observed for CO adsorbed 

on clean copper are absent. The thermal desorption mass spectroscopy for a 2L 

CO dose on increasing sulfur precoverages indicates a linear decrease in the CO 

adsorbed, which correlates to the intensity (triangles and left hand axis) of the 

CO stretch as shown in Figure 2. The strength of the background absorption for 

CO/S/Cu ratioed to S/Cu spectra, as a function of increasing preatlsorbed S is also 

shown in Figure 2. Notice that the background change decreases to zero before 

the CO stretch intensity decreases to zero (corresponding to the spectra in Figure 

1.) Appealing to the Persson-Volokitin motlel that describes the physics which accounts for the appearance of the hindered rotation antl broadband absorption, we can attribute the above behavior to the free electrons in the Cii scattering primarily 

off of the Sulfur atlsorbatrs, exciting the Sulfur parallel modes. The parallel modes 

of the CO molecules are no longer being driven by this same mechanism. [l] C.J.

I Partial Spectral Weights of Disordered Co-Pd Alloys I U5UA I 

W.J. Kim, J.H. Park, W.G. Park, S.-J. Oh (Seoul National U.), H.J. Kim, 

E.Vescovo (NSLS) 

Recently, considerable interest is given to the interface formation between magnetic and nonmagnetic materials. Therefore the electronic structures of disordered 

Co-Pd alloys were investigated by means of turnable photon energies in the soft 

x-ray region. We made use of the Cooper minimum phenomena of Pd 4d states to 

deduce the partial spectral weights from photoemission spectra. All alloy samples were made by arc melting method in the Ar atmosphere. Scraped surfaces were 

cleaned by Ne ion bombardment and anealing at T=400"C in UHV. In order to 

obtain the partial spectral weight of each component the valence band spectra of 

pure metals and alloys are measured in the vicinity of the Cooper minimum. The 

calculated ratio of atomic photoionization cross section between Pd 4d and Co 3d 

is 0.05 at hv=130eV. But this calculated value is expected to change a little due 

to the solid state effects. The difference of lattice constants(g%) should also cause 

some local lattice relaxation and therefore a shift for bonding states and an increase 

in the intensity of antibonding state is expected. It could be related to the strength 

of hybridization. Fig.1 shows valence band spectra of the Co-Pd alloys in different 

at.%-Pd in hv=130eV and the hv-dependence of the photoionization cross section 

in CoSoPd20. At the Cooper minimum of the Pd-4d cross section (about 130eV) it 

is clearly shown that the intensity of Co 3d emission is the strongest and decreases 

gradually by changing the photon energy. We expect to find out an influence of photoionization matrix element and take it into account to deduce the accurate partial 

density of state of Pd. The further analysis in detail, whether the theoretically 

purposed model can be successfully applied, is in progress.

Equiatomic @-phase FeAl alloy crystallizes into a CsCl (B2) - type structure. 

A perfectly ordered stoichiometric FeAl alloy is not ferromagnetically ordered be- cause of an absence of the ferromagnetic nearest neighbors. Even a slight atomic 

disorder can lead to the occurrence of local magnetic moments. It is widely believed that these magnetic moments are induced from so-called antistructure Fe 

atoms (Fe-ASA) - Fe atoms at A1 sites. The estimated values for the effective 

magnetic moment of a Fe-ASA spreads widely from 5.4 p~ to 1.5 p~, and it is 

clear that there is no common point view yet on the nature and value of the magnetic moments of nearly equiatomic FeAl alloys. We investigate the influence of 

the structural order-disorder transition in the nearly equiatomic FeAl alloy film on the magnetic moments and electronic structures using spin-polarized photoemission 

spectroscopy at the U5UA undulator beam line of the NSLS. Figure 1 shows the 

spin-polarized photoemission spectra for the ordered and disordered Feo.azA10.48 

films. The order-disorder transformation enhances the spin polarization doubly in an agreement with our magnetic circular dichroism results[l]. By comparing with 

the reported magnetic moment and spin polarization of pure Fe[2], we found the 

spin magnetic moments of the constituent Fe atoms to be 0.25 and 0.55 p~ for the 

ordered and disordered states, respectively. These relatively lower values of the spin 

magnetic moment also indicate a difference in magnetic structure between the top 

surface layers and the underlying ones. 1 K. W. Kim et al., J. Appl. Phys. (submitted) I1 2 P. D. Johnson et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 63, 1902 (1992)

Half-metallic systems are new class of materials which are characterized by the 

coexistence of metallic behavior for one electron spin and insulating behavior for 

the other. The density of states (DOS) has 100% spin polarization at the Fermi 

level (EF), and the conductivity is completely dominated by the metallic single-spin 

charge carriers. This exotic physical properties could have a significant impact on 

technological applications of magnetic devices. 

Here, we have performed spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES) 

measurements on Lao.7Sro.3hIn03 which has been known to exhibit large negative magnetoresistance. the so called 'colossal magnetoresistance'. The figure shows 

valence band spin-resolved photoemission spectra near EF measured at (a) T = 

40K and (b) T = 380K. At T = 40K ( << Tc E 350K), all the A'In 3d electron spins are aligned ferromagnetically. and indeed the spectra in figure (a) show considerable 

difference for the majority and minority spins. The most striking observation is the 

lial f - metallic feature. The spectrum for the majority spin extends up to EF and 

show the metallic Fermi cutoff, while that for the minority spin falls down at N 

lev binding energy and the spectral weight disappears very near EF, reflecting the 

insulating gap. In the region of 0 eV to - 0.4 eV binding energy, the minority spin 

states only show spectral noise, antl - 100% spin-polarization is obtained. This is 

the first experimental evidence for the existence of a true half-metallic ferromagnet. 

But above T, (38OK), the spins are disortleretl, arid the spectra in figure (b) show 

no difference for the two different spins.

Doped manganese perovskites has been known to exhibita large negative magnetoresistance (AIR) near the Curie temperature (Tc), However, the large AIR 

response requires high magnetic fields, which are available only in special environments. Recently, the enhanced low-field hIR effects have been reported in man- ganese perovskite polycrystalline samples and trilayer tunnel-junction devices that 

a thin insulating layer is sandwiched by the ferromagnetic metallic manganese perovskites layers, and has been known to be originated from the spin-dependent electron tunneling mechanisms, across the gain boundary in the polycrystalline samples 

antl through the insulating layer in the trilayer devices. The tunneling is actually 

tlorninatetl by the charge carriers at the surface (grain) or interface boundaries. 

Thus, understanding of the magnetization at the surface boundary is necessary for 

the untlerstantling of the low-field AIR effects. Here we have investigated the magnetization at the surface boundary of a half-metallic ferromagnet Lao.7Sro.3AIn03 

by using spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES),which has just a few 

monolayer (- 5,4) penetration depth. Figure shows the temperature dependence of 

the spin-anisotropy of the hIn 3d states. which represent the magnetization at the

Interestingly, the obtained exhibits greatly different temperature dependence 

behavior than hlb. Upon heating, LI,b decreases rapidly, antl shows linear-like 

(Tc - T)-tlepentlencc near Try. Actually, theoretical studies by using mean firld 

approximation and numrrical Llonte Carlo simulations b,?setl on thr Heisenberg 

spin Hamiltonian predict that the magnetization at the surface has linear (Tc - T)-clependence near Tc, greatly different from the (Tc - T)'/2 or (Tc - T)'/3 

dependence of the bulk magnetization.

On Magnetic Instabilities in Fe,Nil-, Alloys: Spin-polarization 

Measurements of the Valence Bands Structure of Pseudomorphic U5UA 

Layers 

F.O. Schumann, R. Zhang, M. Hochstrasser, R.F. Willis (PSU), E. Vescovo, and 

H.-J. Kim (NSLS) 

Recently, it was shown that Fe,Nil-, films can be grown in the fcc phase as ultrathin films on Cu(100) [l]. At an Fe concentration of 65% bulk Fe,Nil-, alloys 

the magnetic moment deviates strongly from the Slater-Pauling curve, dropping 

quickly to zero as does the Curie temperature, at which point, a structural phase 

transition from fcc to bcc is observed [a]. Fe,NL,/Cu(100) grows pseudomorphically. Which 'clamps' the Fe,Nil-, into the fcc phase for Fe concentrations beyond 

65% in these ultrathin layers. In particular, at around x-75% alloy composition, 

the bulk 'Invar Effect' appears to be suppressed in these metastable thin film alloys 

and a new 'low magnetization-density, ferromagnetic phase' is stabilized. 

The phenomenological Stoner band theory of ferromagnetism informs us that the 

exchange-energy splitting of 3d states reflects this change in magnetization density 

and varies linearly with the magnitude of the local magnetic moment of the order 

lev per Bohr magneton [3. Hence, spin-resolved electron spectra of the valence 

bands in Fe,Nil-,/Cu(100 1 give information on a possible 'low spin magnitude, 

ferromagnetic phase. 

Figure 1 shows a spectrum taken in normal emission with 48 eV light at a concentration of x-60% and Figure 2 a spectrum at a concentration of x-75%. The 

copper d-band of the substrate is clearly resolved at around 3 eV below the valence 

band edge. Also, large changes in the density of states of the alloy valence bands are observed as a function of changing stoichiometry, together with their spin- resolved 

states. Work is in progress to get more insight into the underlying physics of the 

electronic structure.

Spin Resolved Photoemission Study of Magnetite I U5UA I

u.1 

Magnetite - FesO4 - is one of the most studied oxides because of its mangetic 

and electric properties. At variance with the majority of the oxides - which are 

antiferromagnetic - Fez04 is a ferrimagnet (TAT = 858 K). Its crystal structure is a 

spinel structure in which the large oxygen atoms form a close packed fcc lattice with 

the smaller Fe atoms occupying two inequivalent interstitial positions: tetrahedral 

A-sites and octahedral B-sites. The A-sites accomodate Fe3+ ions while the B-sites 

contain a mixture of Fe3+ and Fez+ ions. The ferrimagnetism is explained assuming that the A and B sublattices are both ferromagnetic but antiparallel oriented 

with respect to each other: the magnetic moments of the Fe3+ ions compensating 

each other, while the macroscopic magnetization being supported by the unpaired 

Fez+ ions. Much of the interest in magnetite is connected to its peculiar matalinsulator-like Verwey transition. This is a first-order transition characterized by 

an abrupt decrease of the conductivity by two order of magnitude below the Verwey temperature of about 120 K. Obviously valuable informations on the electronic 

structure can be obtained by spin-resolved photoemission experiments. Due to the 

high surface sensitivity of this technique, it is mandatory to prepare the surface 

in-situ. We started from an FesO4 thin film (about 1000 A thick) epitaxially grown

magnetic and ordered surface by repeted annealing cycles in oxygen atmosphere. 

The spin-resolved photoemission spectrum from this film taken at 36eV photon energy is shown in Fig.1. Fig.2 shows the spin polarization. Tentatively the minority 

feature at 0.5 eV below Ef can be attributed to the t2g state of the Fez+ in the 

B-site; the majority feature at about 1.8 eV binding energy should originate from 

the Fe3+ in the B-site (eg state); and finally the minority peak at about 2.9 eV 

should derive from the antiparallel Fe3+ in the A-site.

C. Waldfried (U. of Nebraska) 

The electronic structure of strained thin films of Gd has been studied with spin 

and angle resolved photoemission. The spin temperature dependent electronic structure is dominated by an admixture of Stoner-like and rigid band magnetism. A very 

distinct thickness and k-dependence of the exchange splitting can be correlated to 

electron localization and the band structure. The surface magnetic structure is observed to be different from that of the bulk, as indicated by the different electronic 

structure and a much higher surface Curie temperature. approximately 10% over the strained bulk. The 4% strain within the Gd films results in an enhanced Curie 

temperature as compared to the relatively unstrained Gtl(0001) by approximately 

50 K (a T(C) in excess of 340 K) and a very different electronic structure. iVith 

decreasing thickness the bulk bands of the strained Gd films exhibit increasingly 

more paramagnetic-like behavior over an increasing volume of the Brillouin zone. 

The surface niagnetic structure dominates the magnetic ordering of the ultra-thin 

Gtl films.

This study aims to characterize the properties of pure and sulfided NihpIo04 catalysts using synchrotron based near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) 

and temperature programed recluction (TPR). hlo SIIII-edge NEXAFS spectra indicate that on reaction with HzS, the hIo component of NihloO,r gets partially 

reduced with the formation of h10Sz type species. For the beta phase of NihIo04, 

the sulfidation of hlo is more extensive thari for the alfa-phase, making the former a better precursor for catalysts of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reactions. The Ni 

LI [-edge features are relatively insensitive to the changes accompanying the partial 

sulfitlation of NihIo04. The sulfitlation of the Ni component is confirnietl by analysis of the Ni K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra 

which show the formation of Ni-S bonds (bond length 2.48 ) and a NiXIoSx phase. 

The S K-edge NEXAFS spectra show the presence of at least two types of sulfur 

species, one associated with a formal oxidation state of -2 and another associated 

with a formal oxidation state of +6. IVc attribute the former to the presence of 

metal-sulfur bonds (hZoS, antl NiS,). The latter is associated with the formatiori 

of S-0 bonds (S0a2-). The formation of sulfates is also supported by the 0 I<-edge 

NEXAFS spectra. The partially sulfitletl NihloO.1 catalysts (both alfa antl beta 

isomorphs) have a much lower thermal stability in a reducing environment than 

pure Nii\IoO,l antl hIoSz. The sulfidetl rnolybtlates react with Ha in TPR producing 

Hz0 antl HzS at trmperatures above 400 K. 
U7A Reaction of Sz with ZnO and Cu/ZnO Surfaces: Photoemission and 

Molecular Orbital Studies 

S. Chaturvedi, J.A. Rodriguez and J. Hrbek (BNL) 

The adsorption of SZ on ZnO and Cu/ZnO has been investigated using 

synchrotron- based high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. On dosing a clean 

ZnO surface with Sp at 300 K, the molecule dissociates. The S is associated first 

with Zn and at medium coverages with Zn-0 sites. When the sulfur coverage is 

increased to S= 0.5 ML, evidence is found for sulfur bound purely to the 0 sites 

of ZnO. The sulfur species associated with 0 and the Zn-0 sites are unstable at 

temperatures above 500 K. Possible reaction pathways for the dissociation of S2 on Zn0(0001)-Zn and Zn(l0 0) surfaces were studied using ab initio SCF calculations. 

At low sulfur coverages, an adsorption complex in which Sp is bridge bonded to two 

adjacent Zn atoms (Zn-S-S-Zn) is probably the precursor state for the dissociation 

for the molecule. It is possible to get much higher coverages of sulfur on ZnO (0.7 

ML) than on A12 03 (0.1 ML) at similar SZ exposures. This, in conjunction with 

results previously reported for Hz S adsorption on Crp 03 and Cr304, indicates 

that the reactivity of metal oxides towards sulfur is inversely proportional to the 

size of their band gap. Oxides with a large band gap (e.g. Alz 03 9.0 eV) are 

less susceptible to sulfur adsorption than oxides with a small band gap (e.g. ZnO 

3.4 eV). The presence of Cu atoms on both metal oxides enhances their respective 

reactivities towards Sp. Upon dosing Cu/ZnO with Sp at 300 K, sulfur prefers to 

attack supported Cu followed by reaction with the Zn sites of the oxide, and at large 

sulfur coverages the adsorbate bonds simultaneously to metal and oxygen sites on the surface. The sulfur bonded to both the metal and oxygen sites on the surface 

is relatively weakly bound and desorbs by 500 K. The Cu-S interactions are strong 

and lead to the formation of copper sulfides that exhibit a distinctive band structure 

and decompose at temperatures above 700 K. 

U7A Chemistry / Orientation of Lubricants on Hard Disk Magnetic Media 

Substrates Using Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure

Perettie (Dow), Singh Bhatia (IBM), T. A. Morgan, (Dow), and S. Hsu (NIST) 

In this study we describe the interactions of a lubricant system with carbon overcoat surface typical of a magnetic hard disk. The lubricants used are cyclophosphasene (X-1P) and Fomblin (ZDOL). The following system parameters were studied: effects of surface burnishing; ZDOL alone, X-1P alone, ZDOL/X-1P mixtures, 

and carbon overcoats (7.5 nm) with varying hydrogen contents (using Ar and Ar / 

H2 treatments). 

Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) was used to probe the 

reactivity and orientation of applied lubricants on the surface of the various (16) 

lubricant disk systems combinations. NEXAFS is an ideal non destructive tool 

for studying the disk lubricant system since it has both elemental and chemically 

sensitivity, with great selectivity in bond type. The technique can also make direct 

comparisons between the surface and bulk by measuring simultaneous electron yield 

(5 nm depth sensitivity) and fluorescence yield (200 nm) spectra. In addition, 

the average orientation of chemical bonds may be measured via the polarization 

anisotropy of the soft x-ray absorption spectra. NEXAFS spectra above the Co and 

Ni L edges as well as C, 0, F K edges were recorded. Orientation of the lubricants, 

thickness, and morphology of the carbon hardcoat and magnetic media are discussed 

in detail for the samples listed above. 

The NEXAFS results suggest little specific orientation of lubricant molecules on COCs, with the exception of X-lP, and only before burnishing. Apparent surface vs. bulk content of Ni may be consistent with the presence of 'cracks' in the COC 

overlayer or corrosion phenomena. Also, Co appears to be present in the surface 

region (top 5 nm), unlike Ni. This also suggests cracks or corrosion in the COC 

overlayer system. For the COC produced without hydrogen we see a systematic 

reduction in Co upon lubricant application and further reduction upon burnishing.

3 C-N Bond Activation of Cyclohexylamine on the Ni(100) Surface 

A.hI. Gabelnick, S.hI. Kane, A.T. Capitano (U. of Michigan), D. A. Fischer (NIST), 

and J.L. Gland (U. of hIichigan) 

The effect of hydrogen on carbon-nitrogen bond activation has been studied with 

cyclohexylamine (CHA) on the Ni(100) surface as a part of continuing research on 

C-N bond activation on metal surfaces in vacuum and high pressures. Hydrogen 

has been shown to have a very important role in a wide variety of bond activation 

processes. Carbon-nitrogen bond activation and the role of hydrogen was studied for CHA on the Ni(100) surface in pressures of hydrogen from vacuum up to 

0.02 torr. Temperature Programmed Fluorescence Yield Near Edge Spectroscopy 

(TP-FYNES) allowed for the determination of surface carbon concentration as the 

reaction progressed, while Fluorescence Yield Near Edge Spectroscopy (FYNES) 

anneal sets were used to determine the nature of the surface intermediates. 

Using FYNES, the intermediate for C-N bond activation of CHA on the Ni(100) 

surface was determined to consist of a partially dehydrogenated cyclohexyl ring adsorbed nearly parallel to the surface, as indicated by an increase in the 7r* resonance 

at bond activation temperatiires using normal incidence synchrotron radiation. TPFYNES experiments taken in 0.02 torr of hydrogen showed a tlrcreasp in surface 

carbon at 220K relative to similar experiments in vacuum. This is indicative of a 

slightly more facile C-N bond activation process caused by high pressures of hyclrogen. 

I U7A Examination of Ordering in Self Assembled Monolayers and Adsorbed I Protein Films with Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure * I U7A I 

L. Gamble, D. Castner (U. of Washington), D. Fischer (NIST): P. Stayton, and K. 

Nelson (U. of Washington) 

For many bic-engineered materials the molecules involved in surface modification, such as self-assembled monolayers (SAh'Is) or proteins, need to be oriented 

in a specific direction. For example, it may be necessary for functional groups to 

point away from the surface or proteins may require active sites facing away from 

the substrate to allow for enhanced reactivity. The orientations of functionalized 

alkane thiols on gold and adsorbed proteins on alkane thiols have been studied by near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). Self-assembled monolayers 

were prepared from biotinylated alkane thiol (BAT), which is an alkane chain with 

a biotin head group, as well as from methyltiexadecantl thiol (hfHD). Mixed monolayers of BAT and RIHD thiols were also prepared. NEXAFS spectra indicates that 

SAhfs made from mixed BAT-alkane thiol solutions are more highly ordered than 

those made from 100% BAT solutions. NEXAFS spectra (taken in the partial electron yield mode) of SAhIs prepared from a solution of 40% BAT and 60% hIHD 

show strong polarization clepericlence in the C-H* arid C-C* resonance. NEXAFS, 

aitled by XPS data, indicates that the REID "tlilntant" helps to order the alkane 

chain of the B.AT to starid relatively perpendicular to the surface, thus orienting 

the biotin heatlgroup away from the substrate. iVhen the protein streptavitlin (SA) 

is atlsorbetl on a XIHD monolayer, a small amount of polarization tlependcnce is 

seen at the N K-edge. Further research includes study of different protein structiires on gold and "rubbed" PTFE on gold surfaces. SAhIs made with different 

functionalized alkane thiols and Huorinatetl thiols are being stiidied as well.

Photoemission of Cleaved and ” As-Grown” Surfaces of Pyrite 

J. Guevremont (Temple U.), M.A.A. Schoonen (SUNY-Stony Brook), D. Strongin 

(Temple U.), and M. Strongin (BNL) 

S 2p photoemission on the U7a beamline has been used to investigate the surface 

composition and stoichiometry of pyrite, FeS2. Two types of surfaces have been 

investigated; surface produced by cleavage of a single crystal sample of pyrite and 

an ”as-grown” surface [striated (loo)] face, bombarded in UHV with Hef to remove 

residual carbon and oxygen contamination. Both surfaces have been annealed to 573 

K prior to study. Comparison of these two samples is partly motivated by the need 

to determine the differences in structure that result when preparing geochemical 

surfaces for study in UHV. The latter preparation method provides a way to create 

a reproducible surface that can be then used for surface reactivity studies. Figure 

1 exhibits typical S 2p data for the two surfaces. For each surface it is proposed 

that 4 different S 2p species (denoted by A, B, C, and D doublets) contribute to 

each spectrum. Contributions A and B are thought to be due to S in the outermost 

surface region. We tentatively believe that A is, at least due in part, to monosulfide, 

FeS, and B is due to pyrite S (stoichiometry of FeSz) that is shifted from the bulk S 

contribution (i.e., feature C). Finally, feature D is probably due to a more reduced 

form of S, perhaps similar to polysulfide (this has been proposed to exist on pyrite 

by other research groups). Assignments for A, B, and C have been independently 

supported by additional experiments. For example, experiments at U7a have shown 

that the decomposition of H2S on pyrite significantly reduces feature A, consistent 

with the conversion of a monosulfide species into the disulfide that characterizes 

pyrite. Furthermore, S 2p data obtained with conventional XPS (using 1253 eV 

radiation) shows only a small contribution from A and B, consistent with these 

features being due to surface S species. Comparison of the two samples suggests 

that cleavage results in a more sulfur deficient surface. The surface prepared by 

gentle ion bombardment results in a more S-rich surface that may be closer to a natural surface then is the surface created by cleavage. Future experiments are planned that will help confirm many of the tentative assignments made here. 

U7A Surfaces of Semifluorinated Block Copolymers Studied Using NEXA PS U7A ___ - I I 

E.J. Kramer, J. Genzer (UCSB), J. Wang, H. Korner, C.K. Ober (Cornel1 University), B.M. DeKoven, R.A. Bubeck (Dow Chemical Co.), D.A. Fischer (NIST) 

We synthesized styrene-isoprene diblock copolymers in which the isoprene block 

was modified by attaching semifluorinated (-CO-(CH2),-(CF,),F) side groups. Recent X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated that these semifluorinated diblock copolymers (SFDs) form highly ordered liquid crystalline (LC) structures 

whose morphologies are dictated by the combination of x and y. In addition, contact angle measurements revealed that surfaces of thin films made of these SFDs 

exhibit extremely low surface energies indicating the presence and high ordering of 

-(CF2),F blocks at the surface. In the present study, near-edge X-ray absorption 

fine-structure (NEXAFS) is used to examine the structure of thin SFD films on a 

molecular level. By simultaneously detecting both the electron yield (EY) and the 

fluorescence yield signals whose probing depths are ca. 2 and 100 nm, respectively, 

both the near-surface and ”bulk” structures of the SFDs are studied. The use of the 

EY signal is particularly advantageous because it allows us to examine the molecular orientation within the LC phase and its role on the surface organization of 

thin films SFDs. Changes in the molecular orientations within the semifluorinated 

side groups of the SFDs as revealed from the NEXAFS measurements on samples 

annealed in-situ at various temperatures can be correlated with the organization 

changes (smectic-B - smectic-A - isotropic) previously detected with differential 

scanning calorimetry.

Oxygen K near-edge spectra obtained using fluorescence yield from x- ray absorption were recorded for polycrystalline YBa2Cu307 (Ca-1:2:3) and 

(Yo.ssCao.lz)Ba~Cu307 (Y-1:2:3). As oxygen content is increase from x=6.12 in 

Ca-1:2:3, the superconducting transition temperature rises, reaches a maximum of 

80K near x=6.8, then falls at higher oxygen contents. The near edge structure 

identified with hole density (energy E=529 eV) increases throughout the range of 

oxygen content. Two additional pre-peaks are observed near 530 and 531 eV, both 

with maximum intensity at minimum oxygen content, and having similar intensities. 

Similar peaks are observed for Y-1:2:3.

Several lubricants were deposited on Cu, and 52100 steel surfaces by modified 

dip-coating method to form nanometer scale films. The lubricants chosen for this 

study were stearic acid and some other simple organic compounds. The films were 

characterized by using reflectance FTIR spectroscopy and ultra soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (USXAS). A well designed multi-tips scratcher was employed to 

execute the tribological treatment. The treatment was done in a very slow motion 

in order to minimize the effects of flashing heat. For comparison, another set of 

duplicated samples deposited in the same way were heated in a furnace to induce 

the thermal reaction. It was found that the tribochemical reaction and thermal 

reaction between stearic acid and Cu substrate were similar. The chemical change 

can be detected by reflectance FTIR and USXAS spectroscopies. The results will 

be discussed and compared with previous works. Tribochemical reactions of other 

films will also be reported and discussed.

exploiting the Cooper minimum in the Pd 4d photoemission cross-section at about 

130 eV. In addition, we have also made preliminary investigations on the core level 

shifts and line-shapes in order to probe the local Cu and Pd environments in these 

alloys. We show in figure 1 a selection of valence-band spectra from CuPd, and in

(U. C. Riverside-Physics) 

Zirconium-based alloys are commonly used as cladding for nuclear fuel rods and 

in various components in nuclear power plants, primarily because of the robust na- ture of the oxide that forms. which is highly resistant to corrosion. Yet, zirconium 

oxide films break down when submitted to the extreme radiation conditions present 

in a nuclear reactor. It has been suggested that low-energy electronic excitations 

generated in the material by the ionizing radiation lead to its degradation, but the 

exact niechanism is unknown. We are currently conducting a set of controlled ex- periments to investigate the role of low-energy excitations in the radiation darnage 

of zirconium oxide. Our approach is to take a well-characterized ZrOz surface antl 

submit it to bornbardment by a monochromatic beam of low-energy photons. hIeasiirements of the O+ desorption threshold antl kinetic energy distribution, coupled 

with photoemission measurements of the electronic structure of the surface, enable the identification of the excitations that result in oxygen removal from a ZrOz 

surface. For both crystalline and amorphous ZrOz. the 0' photon-stimulated desorption thresholds are at 30 e\', corresponding to the removal of a Zr(4p) electron, 

and the ions have 2 eV of kinetic energy. These firidings are consistent with the 

Knotek-Feibelrnan mechanism for stiniulatetl ion desorption from metal oxides. in 

which the ionization of a shallow metal cation core level, followed by interatomic 

Auger decay, leads to the formation antl rapid ejection of Of ions from the surface.

Reaction of halogens and halogen-containing compounds with 111-V semiconductor surfaces are of considerable importance since they play a major role in the 

fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Previous studies mainly concentrated on the 

reaction of chlorine with GaAs [l]. It was shown that Clz spontaneously etches 

GaAs at room temperature under conditions which depend on the initial surface 

stoichiometry and order. In the present work, we focus on the interaction of Cla 

with InAs in order to understand the role of surface structure and stoichiometry for 

this system. 

The reactions of Clz with In- and As-terminated InAs(001) surfaces in UHV were investigated with synchrotron-based soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) 

and low energy electron diffraction. An In-terminated InAs(001)-c(8x 2) surface was 

prepared by Ar' ion bombardment and annealing. An As-terminated InAs(001)- 

~(2x8) surface was obtained by adsorbing 11 on the ~(8x2) surface arid then removing In iodides by heating [a]. Chlorinc was produced from a UHV cornpatiblc 

solid-state electrochemical cell. 

High-resolution core-level spectra were collected from the clean antl chloririatetl 

surfaces. Representative spectra are given in Fig. 1, which indicate that Clz tlissociatively adsorbs, breaking the In-As bonds in a similar manner as with GaAs. The 

stoichiometry of the near- surface region tletcrmines the relative amount of surface 

The bond breaking suggests that the spontaneous reaction itself 

is a preliitle to etching.

The hydridospherosiloxane cluster H8Si8012 was physisorbed onto Si(ll1)-H and 

soft X-ray Si 2p core-level spectra obtained. The results confirmed that HSi03 units are observed at roughly -3.6 eV binding energy for the intact cluster. Fragments 

of this type are of considerable interest because of the role of hydrogen in device 

failure. For a detailed discussion of these experiments and references see: Mat. Res.

The Role of Extra-Atomic Relaxation in Determining Si 2p Binding 

Energy Shifts at Silicon/Silicon Oxide Interfaces * U8B

The observed binding energy shift for silicon oxide films grown on crystalline 

silicon varies as a function of film thickness. The physical basis of this shift has 

previously been ascribed to a variety of initial state effects (Si-0 ring size, strain, stoichiometry, and crystallinity), final state effects (a variety of screening mechanisms), 

and extrinsic effects (charging). By constructing a structurally homogeneous silicon 

oxide film on silicon, initial state effects have been minimized and the magnitude 

of final state stabilization as a function of film thickness was directly measured. 

In addition, questions regarding the charging of thin silicon oxide films on silicon were addressed. From these studies, it is concluded that initial state effects play a 

negligible role in the thickness-dependent binding energy shift. For the first 30 of 

oxide film, the thickness-dependent binding energy shift can be attributed to final 

state effects in the form of image charge induced stabilization. Beyond about 30 , charging of the film occurs. For a detailed discussion of this research see: J. Appl. 

Phys. 82, 2298 (1997).

I Fluorescence of Paper Filters I U9B 

R. h'lantauffe (Pall Corporation) and J. Sutherland (BNL- Biology) 

The time resolved fluorescence and scattering of UV light from several types of 

filters with a variety of uses in research and industrial applications mas recorded 

using the Fluorescence Omnilyzer detector. In certain applications, such as the 

investigation of the composition of aersol samples by fluorescence spectroscopy, it 

is extremely desirable to have the filter contribute as little flnorescence as possible. Stndies of several commercially available filters as well as non-production test 

samples revealed that some demonstrated considerable fluorescence, while others 

showed only low levels of flnorescence. albeit detectable levels. Polarization stndies showed that fluorophores tended to be tightly bound to the filter (indicated 

by finite levels of non-depolarization of the fluorescence). Reducing the excited 

state lifetimes significantly reduces the total intensity of flnorescence from a sample. Thus the flnorescencc enimission from a filter citii be reduced by incorporating 

flnorescence qnenchers, provided such compounds do not compromise the chemical 

performance of the filter in its interitled role. 

For the perforniance of these experirnents. Pall Corp. acquired a sample holder for 

Inontitirig thin solid samples and viewing flnorescence from near-riormal incidence. 

An angular scale was atlded to the stautlarcl design to permit ac1,jnstment of the 

angle on incidence of the exciting light relative to thc normal to the plane of the 

sample. This holder is being made available to other iisrrs of the bemiline. 

Photoluminescence Study of Simox Buried Oxide

I U9B 

Electrically active defects in the buried oxide (BOX) of SIAIOX (Separation by 

Implantation of Oxygen) wafers. or other Si02 films, have been studied mostly with 

electrical (charge sensing) techniques and with electron spin resonance (ESR). The 

electrical studies have shown that the buried oxide of SIhIOX has a much higher con- centration of electron and hole traps than normal thermal oxide antl higher concentration of E' centers are observed by ESR measurements in SIhIOX than in thermal 

oxide. These stndies concluded that during the high temperature (1300°C) anneal 

that is necessary to form SIhIOX. defects such as oxygen vacancies are formed. In 

this work, defects in the BOX were stntlied by photoliiriiinescence which is a complementary technique to electrical and ESR measurements. Electrical riieasurements 

provide high sensitivity but no strnctnral information antl ESR gives structural 

information but can only detect the paramagnetic charge state of a defect. Photcluminescence can detect defects in their diamagnetic configuration. Samples used 

in the present experiments were buried oxide layers protlucetl by the SI1 [OX teclinique. Samples incIiitIecI low-tlose single-implant (Oxygen dose O.UJ.~XIO'" cm-'1). 

double-itiiplarrt (0.0x10" cm-' total dose) antl full-dose single- antl triple implant 

(1.7-l.8x10ix cnP2 total dose). The implant energy was 180-200 keV and annealing was done in Ar+ 0.5 temperatures in the range 1310-1350"C. One of the fnll-dose 

triple-iniplantetl samples receivetl a supplementaI t~osr of O. 1x10~~ CIII-~. After ttie 

snpplcnirntal implant, the annealing temperature wits 1000°C. Example resnlts for 

fnll-dose triple-implantrtl samples with and without thc siipplemental oxygen implantation are discussed below. Ptiotolumiriescericc rnmsnrmients mc're carried ont 

rising the UDB bearnline of the National Synchrotron Light Source equipped with an excitation tlonhle rnonochrorriator (Sprx 1680). Thr PL from thr sample was 

dispersed by a detection nionochrornator (Chromex) across the 2.5 cni dinm bialkali 

photocathode of an ITT F414Ghl position sensitive tlrtcctor. The detection system 

provides time resolntiori from 1- 1511s and sininltaneoiis recording of PL intensity 

in the two polarization directions parallrl antl perpendicular to the excitation polarization. Excitation was dotie in air at a wavelength of 248 iini (hv=5.0 eV). 

The surface Si layer was reInovetl for the PL Ineasnrenient. The spectrnm of the 

BOX (oxide thickness 3550 Xngstrorns) without t,he supplemental implant shows it PL peak at 280 n~n. On thr other hand. the PL at 280 nm in the BOX with 

supplemental implant was significantly retlncctl. The decay of the PL follows it 

single exponential with a lifetime of -1 11s. The PL at 280 nm can be ascrihetl to a transition from thr excited-singlet to gronntl (SI-SO) states at the site of oxygen 

vacancy . This can be ascribed to a transition from the excited-singlet to gronntl 

(SI-SO) states at the site of oxygen vacancy. Electrical irieasnreincnts have shown 

that SIlIOX with a snpplemental oxygen dose has less electron and hole traps. PL 

results from this antl a variety of other BOX samples have been accepted for presention at the Semiconductor Interface Specialists Conference to be held Dec 4-6.

Use of Fluorescence Homotransfer to Monitor BOPIPY-melittin 

Oligomerization U9B 

S. Scarlata (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Our laboratory has been exploring the possibility of using fluorescence homotransfer (resonance energy transfer between identical fluorophores) to monitor changes 

in the oligomerization of membrane proteins. Homotransfer is measured by the loss 

in fluorescence anistropy as the energy is transferred between probes. We have used a stochastic approach to relate the number of subunits in a protein oligomer to 

the loss in fluorescence anisotropy. We tested this model using fluorescein-labeled 

melittin which is a small peptide whose monomer to tetramer transition can be 

easily controlled. Although we found a good correlation between theory and ex- perimental results, a breakdown occurs at higher viscosities or low temperatures 

since these stabilize the formation of non-fluorescent fluorescein dimers. This problem is also pronounced when the protein is in a membrane. To minimize the dark 

complex formation, we selected another probe, BODIPY (Molecular Probes, Inc.). 

This probe has a high probability of homotransfer, but is not expected to form dark 

complexes. We selectively labeled melittin with this probe on its C-terminus, and 

found that the homotransfer, as monitored by the loss in fluorescence anisotropy, 

was obeyed. We then measured the anistropy decays, lifetimes and time-dependent 

emission spectra of the BODIPY-melittin monomer and tetramer in 50% glycerol 

at NSLS. We found these time-resolved parameters to be similar, although their 

initial values differ. These results indicate that the rate of exchange of the excited 

energy between the probes in the tetramer is faster than the fluorescent lifetime. 

We are incorporating these results into our model. 

Emission Spectra with a Resistive-anode, Single-photon-counting DeTime Resolved Fluorescence Polarization Measurements for Entire 

tector: The Fluorescence Omnilyzer * 

J. C. Sutherland, L. A. Kelly, J. G. Trunk, D. C. Monteleone and K. Polewski 

(BNL - Biology) 

We report a fluorescence analyzer that records simultaneously the temporal 

profiles for both orthogonal linear polarizations for all wavelengths in a fluorescence emission spectrum. The Analyzer combines a resistive-anode single-photoncounting photomultiplier, imaging spectrograph, Wollaston polarizer, multiparameter analyzer with histogramming memory and standard timing electronics. The 

spectrograph disperses the fluorescence spectrum across the photocathode of the 

photomultiplier, and the Wollaston polarizer separates the spectra of the two polarizations in opposite directions from the center of the photocathode perpendicular to 

the direction of spectral dispersion. The locations at which each photon reaches the 

photocathode is determined by the ratios of the charges read from the four corners 

of the resistive-anode. One of the two address coordinates that determine where in 

histogramming memory each photon is recorded is obtained by measuring the timeof-arrival of the photon at the detector relative to the pulse of light that excites the 

fluorescence. The second address coordinate is obtained by combining the mostsignificant bit of the location of the event along the direction on the resistive anode 

corresponding to the polarization of the photon with the multi-bit digital value indicating photon wavelength. Storing the data directly into histogramming memory 

permits display of the data-set as it is recorded. Both the spectral and temporal 

calibrations of the fluorescence analyzer are independent of the polarization of the 

fluorescence. The 100 ps temporal resolution of the resistive-anode detector is well 

matched to the 1 ns FWHM pulses of light produced by the synchrotron storage 

ring that we use as the excitation source, but laser excitation could also be used 

with this detector. Recording simultaneously all of the data required for the global 

analysis of the time evolution of both linear polarization components of fluorescent, 

and thus time-resolved anisotropy, reduces the duration of exposure of the sample to 

the excitation beam, hence facilitating studies of fragile or photosensitive biological 

specimens.

I Large Value of the Electron-Phonon Coupling Parameter X = 1.15 I TT7, I 

and the Possibility of Surface Superconductivity at the Be(0001) 

Surface 

T. Balasubramanian, E. Jensen (Brandeis U.), X. Wu, and S.L. Hulbert (BNL) 

The electron-phonon coupling parameter at the Be(0001) surface A, is measured 

using angle resolved photoemission from surface states and found to be 1.15 i 0.1, 

about four times the bulk Be value Xb = 0.24 (see Figure 1). A, is determined by 

assuming that all of the temperature dependence of the surface state width comes 

from phonon creation/anniliilation. In the limit of high temperatures, not quite 

realized for these data, X is proportional to the derivative of the width with respect 

to temperature (see hlcDougall, Balasubramanian, and Jensen, Phys. Rev. B 51, 

13891 (1995)); a more accurate analysis results from a fit to the Debye model. This 

result can be understood siniply from the large surface to bulk ratio of the Fermi 

level density of states first noted by Chulkov (Surf. Sci. 188. 287 (1987)). A large 

value of X is often associated with a high superconducting transition temperature. 

If the surface is considered as a thin film with high X on a thick siibstrate with low 

A, the proximity efFect woiilrl destroy any observable intercsting effects. However, 

it was showu by Suhl, hhtthias. arid LValker ( Rev. Lett. 3. 552 (1959)) 

that different branches of thc Fermi surface ~ hich surface and bulk states 

qualify ~~ could have different superconducting energy gaps. In the limit of a serniinfinite solid the two branches are essentially uncoupled and the surface states can superconduct independent of the bulk. Application of the hlcLIillan formula using 

bulk phonons to estimate the superconducting transition temperature yields 70K 

for the surface transition temperature.

I The VUV Absorption Spectrum of Cold Gas-Phase Methane * 

R. Bersohn (Columbia U.) and J.M. Preses (BNL) 

The absorption spectrum of cold gas-phase methane in the VUV region from 110 

to 140 nm is being measured. The temperature, about 100 K, is approximately the 

surface temperature of Jupiter and Titan, a moon of Saturn. In this research the 

absorption of CH4 will be compared with that of CH3D. The objectives are a) to try 

to understand the structure in the spectrum appearing at the shorter wavelengths, 

b) to compare the absorption with recent ab initio calculations of Mebel and Lin 

and c) to obtain basic data on the most abundant hydrocarbon molecule found 

in the atmospheres of the heavy planets and their satellites at the temperature of 

astronomical observation. At low temperatures, barely perceptible features in the 

absorption spectrum which may be due to vibrational structure could become more pronounced. 

u11 Products of the O(3P) + C3H6 Reaction and Branching Fraction for 

Formation of CH3 * 

R.B. Klemm, S.-C. Kuo, S.K. Ross (BNL) and R.P. Thorn, Jr. (NASA/GSFC) 

The reactions of ground state atomic oxygen with olefins are of interest in combustion and atmospheric research because they are fast and because numerous reaction 

channels are thermodynamically allowed. For the 0-atom + propene reaction, there 

are at least ten exothermic product channels: 

Early mass spectrometric studies by Gutman et al. (Chem. Phys. Lett. 1972, 

15, 236) and by Hoyermann et al. (Sixteenth Symposium(Int’1) on Combustion, 

The Combustion Institute, Pittsburgh, 1977, 841) identified channels (2) and (3) 

as major pathways, however, they differed on the importance of other possible 

channels. Hoyermann et al. were able to distinguish CH3CO from the 13C isotope of 

C3H6 but neither they nor Gutman et al. comment on the CHzCHO isomer. In later 

studies with spectroscopic detection, the CHzCHO radical, was positively identified as a major product of the O+C3& reaction. Moreover, the yield of CHzCHO was reported by Hunziker et al. (J. Photochem., 1981, 17, 377) to decrease with 

increasing pressure of argon, from 0.29 at 40 Torr to 0.19 at 760 Torr. The latest 

study by Knyazev et al. (Int. J. Chem. Kznt. 1992, 24, 545)reported a branching 

fraction of 0.46 for channel (8) by monitoring H-atom resonance fluorescence. 

In the present study, primary products from the O+C3& reaction were generated in a discharge flow reactor under kinetically isolated conditions. Mass spectrometric detection of reactants and products was accomplished via direct photoionization. Qualitative observation of products was accomplished via PIE spectra 

and or adiabatic IE’s. The following products were positively identified (species 

(m 1 z)): CH3(15); CzHs(27); CzH4 (28); HCO/CzHs (29); HzCO(30); C3H5 (41); 

CH3CO (43); CH3CHO (44); CH3CH=CO (56); and propylene oxide (and possibly 

propanal) (58). 

Additionally, the branching fraction for the formation of CH3 (d[CHy]/d[O]) was determined by using calibration experiments coupled with kinetic simulations. The 

value derived, 0.52 f0.05, is consistent with the results reported by Hunziker et al., 

considering the strong pressure dependence of this branching fraction.

I Fluorescence Measurements of Indole Photoionization Products lull I 

P. LeBreton (U. of Illinois at Chicago) 

Preliminary, single-beam, steady-state fluorescence measurements were made of 

aqueous indole solutions at excitation wavelengths between 250 and 200 nm. Indole 

is a model compound for tryptophan, which is a primary radiation damage site in 

proteins. These lie in the energy region of the photoionization conduction-bandedge energy threshold. In these experiments, the same wavelength was employed 

to photoionize indole, and to excite the photoionization products. In the future, 

double-beam experiments will be carried out in which the synchrotron beam is used 

for photoionization and a second conventional light source is used for fluorescence 

excitiation. 

In the past, indole photoionization in aqueous solution has been monitored using 

electron scavenging analysis and transient absorption of solvated electrons. Electron scavenging analysis only provides information about electron formation. No 

information is provided about the radical cations which are formed simultaneously 

with electron emission. Transient absorption detection is of limited sensitivity. 

The goal of the present measurements is to determine the feasibility of employing fluorescence detection as a method for monitoring radical cations formed via 

the aqueous photoionization of indole. Fluorescence detection of photoionization 

products promises greater sensitvity than that offered by transient absorption mea- surements. The spectral signature provided by the excitation and emission characteristics of photoionization products will provide information, which will permit identification of the radical cationi products and which cannot be obtained 

in electron scavening experiments. In these experiments, the challenge will be to 

discriminate fluroescence associated with small concentratrions of radical cations 

from fluorescence associated with larger concentrations of neutral indole. This will 

be accomplished by examining the influence of radical scavengers on fluroescence 

emission, and by carrying out two-beam, time-resolved fluorescence measurements 

in which detection is synchronized with the ionizing beam. 

lull I Circular Dichroism Evidence for Solution Linkage Flexibility in (1+3)- 

Linked a-D-Mannopyranoside Residues * 

E.S. Stevens (SUNY at Binghamton) 

The vacuum UV circular dichroism (CD spectrum of thyl-3-O-(a-Dmannopyranosy1)-a-D-mannopyranoside in Dz 0 ? 175-200nm) is nearly identical to 

twice the monomer spectrum, both in solution and in films. The lack of a siginificant linkage contribution to the dimer spectrum most likely results from motional 

averaging among a variety of solution linkage conformations. The CD evidence for 

significant solution linkage flexibility confirms previous consclusions based on optical rotation, and is in agreement with nmr results of others. In the solid state 

the dimer CD (145-200nm) differs from the recently proposed quadrant rule to the 

known dimer crystal structure.

The transformation of polymer surtaces by deep UV light is interesting from both 

the standpoint of science and potential proactical applications. Good data of all 

kinds are sparse for UB wavelengths below about 200 nm and are difficult to obtain 

experimentally. Moreover, polymers are technological materials and can offer more 

complications than necessary, motivating the modelling, as far as possible. Careful 

comparisons among whole polymers and molecular model compounds, and between 

experimental data and computational models are vital to define what "as far as 

possible" really means. 

MATERIALS: hexafluoro isopropanol (HFIP); 6/6 Nylon from "Dartek" film 

in HFIP; PET from "Mylar" 75 LB film; n-hexyl hexanamide, proxy for monomer; 

N, N' dihexyl adipamidc, proxy for dimer. 

METHODS: Absorption spectra were recorded with the apparatus normally 

used for the detection of circular dichroism using the pseude-absorption method. 

which has been clescribed elsewhere. [Sutherland, 1982 1861 [Sutherland, 1996 5951 

Auxiliary absorption spectra for wavelengths greater than 200 nm were obtained 

with a diode array spectrophotometer. Absorption spectra to 185 nm were obtained 

with a conventional source spectrophotometer at the Du Pont Central Research 

Laboratory to about 185 nm. Materials were contained in quartz windowed cells 

with pathlengths of 1.0 and 0.1 mm. 

RESULTS: The spectra from U11 were similar to those from the conventional 

source instruments for the spectral range for which there was spectral overlap, 

indicating that the pseiideabsorbance method was performing adcqiiately. 

The HFIP only blanks were similar when recorded before arid after the cells were 

filled with polymer sample, indicating that the methods used to clean the cells are adeqiiate. 

A peak in absorption is observed at about 190 nm that is ascribed to the xz 4 x3 

transition. 

A shoulder is observed for the nylon compound at about 175 nm that is tentatively 

ascribed to an 110 4 uco transition. 

Beginning about 170 nni the red edge of a strong absorption is observed, presiimably due to the x1 4 xg transition 

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The results are generally in line with 

theoretical expectations. Absorption spectra can be extended to higher photon 

energies by stiltlying films rather than solutions. LIagnetic circular dichroism may 

confirm the tentative assignments: such experiments are planned for 1998.

Photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectra of the CHzCN radical were measured over the wavelength range X = 115 to 130 nm using a discharge flow-photoionization 

mass spectrometer (DF-PIh/lS). The cyanomethyl radical was produced by the re- action F + CH3CN + CHzCN + HF and the PIE spectrum displayed steplike 

behavior near threshold. From the half-rise point of the initial step, a value of 

10.280 + 0.010 eV was obtained for the adiabatic ionization energy (IE) of CHzCN. 

This experimental result agrees well with the previons value of 10.1 f 0.2 that was determined from the difference in the heats of formation of the cation and the 

neutral by Holmes and hIeyer (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 1366). It is in even better agreement with a value of 10.20 f 0.05 eV that was derived from an ab initio 

calculation by Horn et al. (Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 323). The 

present PINS study of the CHzCN radical provides experimental measurements of 

the adiabatic ionization energy that are simultaneously the most direct antl the 

most precise available. For the reaction N("S) + CzH3, the CzHzN radical procluct exhibits a PIE spectrum that may include CHzCN along with another species 

that has a gradiial threshold that is at a corisitlerably longer wavelength than the 

steplike threshold of C€IzCN (derived from F + CHnCN). A possible source of 

this difference is the contribution from higher energy CzHzN isomers and/or from 

excited CHzCN. In sharp contrast to the results for the N("S) + CzH3 reaction, no 

signal attributable to an isomer of the CzDzN radical was observed from the N("S) 

+ CzD:3 reaction. The CZ€I~N/C~D~N adducts from the N("S) + CzHn/CzD3 reactions were also stiidiecl. The adduct was observed to be solely CH3CN for the 

N("S) + C2H:r reaction while for N("S) + CzDg, the PIE spectrum appears to include significant contributions from not only the lowest energy isomer, CD3CN, but 

also one or more higher energy isomers.

Photoionization Efficiency Spectrum and Ionization Energy * 

R. P. Thorn, Jr., L. J. Stief(NASA/Goddard), S.-C. Kuo, and R. B. Klemm(BNL) 

The photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectrum of HOCl was measured over the 

wavelength range X = 102 - 115 nm, using a discharge flow- photoionization mass 

spectrometer apparatus. The PIE spectra displayed steplike behavior near threshold. This study represents the first determination of the HOCl photoionization 

efficiency spectrum and the photoionization threshold. A value of 11.120 f 0.006 

eV was obtained for the adiabatic ionization energy (IE) of HOCl from analysis of 

photoion thresholds, corresponding to the HOC1+(X2A") t HOCl (X'A'') transition. This result compares well with the only previous experimental measurement, a photoelectron spectroscopy study that was complicated by the presence of ClzO, 

Clz, and H20 features in addition to those due to HOCl. The present result is also 

in good agreement with a recent G2 ab initio calculation by Glukhovtsev et al. 

From the value for IE(HOCl), a value of 999.1 f 3.6 kJ mol-' is calculated 

for AfH(HOC1') and from the latter, the proton affinity of C10 at T = 0 K is 

determined to be 630.0 f 3.6 kJ mol-'.

I Radiative Recombination in Rare-Earth Doped Insulating Materials * I u11 I 

A. J. Wojtowicz and J. Glodo (Boston U.) 

The aim of the current project was to study carrier capture and recombination 

processes at structured impurities in wide bandgap materials activated by open 

f-shell (RE) ions which potentially may serve as scintillator materials. A simple 

model of a scintillator material describes a scintillation pulse in terms of rise and 

decay times which are determined by radiative (characteristic of the ion, e.g. Ce) 

and host-to-ion transfer rates. Since the unquenched radiative decay rate is limited 

by the value of Einstein coefficient, the Hyman theory requires that to achieve the 

best timing the transfer rate should be infinitely high while decay should be single 

exponential and as fast as possible. This approach highlights the importance of 

both emission and transfer processes which determine the intensity, wavelength and 

pulse shape of the scintillation light. Consequently, we have measured: 1) VUV 

excitation spectra of d-f and f-f luminescences in RE-doped fluorides and Cedoped aluminates to identify various channels of the host-to-ion energy transfer; 

2) luminescence spectra in order to identify those electronic states which are targets of specific energy transfer channels identified previously; 3) temporal pulse 

shapes. In the case of direct excitation into the characteristic band (due to the 

f-d transition) the rise times are practically zero, while decays are largely singleexponential and radiative-rate-determined. The measurement of rise times under 

excitation favoring some channels of energy transfer identified by VUV spectroscopy 

(above the bandgap and excitonic) clearly show measurable rise-times, as expected. 

Figure 1. Luminescence spectra of Er-doped BaFz under VUV excitation. There 

is a dramatic change upon relatively small variations in the excitation wavelength. 

The highly selective nature of monochromatic optical excitation in VUV points to 

existence of various energy transfer mechanisms like direct excitation, excitonic and 

charge carrier mediated trapping processes.

U12IR Evidence for Coherent Emission from the VUV Ring in the Very 

Far Infrared* 

G.L. Carr (NSLS), R.P.S.hI. Lobo (U. Florida & NSLS), J. LaVeigne, D.H. Reitze 

and D.B. Tanner (U. Florida) 

\Tie have observed evidence for coherent synchrotron radiation emission. peaked at 

awavelength of 7mm (42 GHz), from port U12IR under special operating conditions 

of the VUV ring. This wavelength is much shorter than the electron bunch length 

of about 30cm, and therefore does not appear to be due to the intrinsic shape of the 

electron bunches. The emission appears as quasi-periodic (T -2ms), short bursts 

of radiation. 

The observed wavelength is comparable to the effective cutoff wavelength for the 

beamline and spectrometer's lightpipe optics (-4nim) as well as the ring chamber 

(appros. 30mm). Therefore. our data does not ride out the presence of coherent 

emission at wavelengths beyond about 10mm. The width of the emission is not 

quite resolved with the existing instrument. having a spectral resolution of about 

0.12mm at 7mm wavelength. 

The coherent emission appears to be present only when the current per bunch 

exceeds a threshold, which depends on the operating conditions of the ring. For 

exarnple. for operations with E=74411eV antl the 4th harmonic cavity at a low 

(irijection level) power, the threshold is aboiit 100ma per bunch. This is observed 

in 1, 3 antl 7-bunch modes. Ramping the electron energy to XOOlIeV shifts the 

current threshold to about 1GOma. Increasing the power to the 4th harmonic cavitv 

causes a fiirtlier increase in t,he threshold value.

Design of the U12IR Beamline for Solid State Infrared 

Spectroscopy* 

G.L. Carr, G.P. Williams and D. Lynch (NSLS) 

U12IR 

The new infrared beamline U12IR is designed to serve the solid state physics community's needs for performing IR spectroscopy from wavelengths of a few microns 

out to several millimeters. The beamline uses a 90x90 milliradian mirror extraction 

system similar to beamline U4IR (see Figure 1). bringing the light from the ring's 

UHV environment through a wedged diamond window. However a number of special design features have been incorporated in order to reach such long wavelengths 

efficiently, such as a large beamline diameter and a tapered light cone preceding 

the diamond window. \Then the long wavelength (lamellar grating) interferometer 

is used, quasi-optic lightpipe is placed immediately after the diarriontl window arid 

brings the light to this fast interferometer, thus minimizing diffraction losses. Otherwise conventional mirror optics arc used collimate the irifraretl antl transport it to 

the other spectrometer - a Britker IFS 113v. Figure 2 shows the collimating mirror 

chamber antl spectrometer cntlstatioris with the lightpipe in place. The beaniline's 

spectral range is expected to reach from about 1 crnC' up to 40.000 cnCL, although 

the sprctrometer cndstations will reach to only 10.000 cni-' . A spectral resolution 

of -0.1 cni- is anticipated. * IVork supported by DOE Contract DE-AC02-76CH00016.

A custom mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser system has been implemented on the 

VUV floor. The system is a custom Mira unit from Coherent Laser Group, designed 

the pulse structure of light emitted by this storage ring. The laser is continuous~y 

tunable from 0.7 microns to 1 micron wavelengths, and produces up to 10 nJ per 2 

ps duration pulse. A pulse selection system, to match special bunch patterns of the 

ring (i.e., multi-bunch, symmetric 3-bunch, and 1-bunch), has also been developed 

and tested. Modulation of the Ti:sapphire laser phase will allow lock-in detection 

The light will be fed to various experiment stations (U12IR in particular) via fiber 

optic cable, allowing time-resolved, pump-probe spectroscopy to be performed. The 

available time resolution is limited by the synchrotron pulse duration, which can be as short as -1OOps under special operating conditions. The longest time between 

pulses is set by the ring orbital period of 170ns. * SuDDorted bv DOE through Contracts DE-AC02-76CH00016 and DE-FG02- 

from 20 cm-' to beyond 5000 cm-', while a lamellar grating interferometer be 

used for the 1 to 100 cm-l range. First measurements have been Performed using to produce pulses at a 105.76 MHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF) using the 52.88 

MHz rf signal from the VUV ring. The system is therefore synchronously locked to the lamellar grating interferometer and bolometric detectors operating at T-1.7K 

and 4.2K. Useful signals down to about 2 cm-' have been obtained. A typical 

low resolution interferogram is shown in Figure 1, and the resulting spectral signal

aJ Large Value of the Electron-Phonon Coupling Parameter X = 1.15 

Surface 

and the Possibility of Surface Superconductivity at the Be(0001) u11, UISUB 

T. Balasubramanian, E. Jensen (Brandeis U.), X. Wu, and S.L. Hulbert (BNL) 

The electron-phonon coupling parameter at the Be(0001) surface A, is measured 

using angle resolved photoemission from surface states and found to be 1.15 * 0.1, 

about four times the bulk Be value Xb = 0.24 (see Figure 1). A, is determined by 

assuming that all of the temperature dependence of the surface state width comes 

from phonon creation/annihilation. In the limit of high temperatures, not quite 

realized for these data, X is proportional to the derivative of the width with respect 

to temperature (see McDougall, Balasubramanian, and Jensen, Phys. Rev. B 51, 

13891 (1995)); a more accurate analysis results from a fit to the Debye model. This 

result can be understood simply from the large surface to bulk ratio of the Fermi 

level density of states first noted by Chulkov (Surf. Sci. 188, 287 (1987)). A large 

value of X is often associated with a high superconducting transition temperature. 

If the surface is considered as a thin film with high X on a thick substrate with low 

A, the proximity effect would destroy any observable interesting effects. However, 

it was shown by Suhl, Matthias, and Walker (Phys. Rev. Lett. 3, 552 (1959)) 

that different branches of the Fermi surface - for which surface and bulk states 

qualify - could have different superconducting energy gaps. In the limit of a semiinfinite solid the two branches are essentially uncoupled and the surface states can superconduct independent of the bulk. Application of the Mcklillan formula using 

bulk phonons to estimate the superconducting transition temperature yields 70K 

for the surface transition temperature.

Line Shape of the Ag N23VV Auger Transition Measured by Auger 

Photoelectron Coincidence Spectroscopy 

A. Danese, Q. Qian, R.A. Bartynski (Rutgers U.), S.L. Hulbert (NSLS) 

It is well known that the shallow plevels of the late transition metals have very 

broad and ill-defined spectral line shapes. Owing to strong overlap with the 4d 

bands, the shallow 4p levels of Ag have a very short lifetime hence appear as broad 

(~5 eV wide) features in photoemission spectra. This width is folded into the con- ventional Auger spectrum. By measuring Ag N2,sVV Auger electrons in coincidence 

with Ag 4p photoelectrons of a particular kinetic energy, we have eliminated this 

broadening and revealed the true lineshape of the Auger transition. These coincidence spectra are shown in Figures 1 and 2. As has been seen for the M4!5VV 

transition, the lineshape appears to include both quasi-atomic and band-like components to its profile. However, in the coincidence spectra, the band-like component 

is significantly more pronounced. This is most likely because of the elimination of 

inelastic background in the coincidence measurement. A comparison of the relative 

spectral weight contained in each component indicates that the band-like part is 

Ag. In addition to measuring Anger line shapes, extrinsic inelastic background is 

suppressed in APECS because it has a significantly smaller probing depth. As a 

result, one can assess the relative contribution of extrinsic (i.e. caused by inelastic 

scattering on the way to the surface) to intrinsic (i.e. caused by additional excitation in the Auger process) contributions to the secondary electron background. In our coincidence Auger spectra from Ag, we find that a large fraction of the spectral 

weight appears as inelastic contribution under the primary Auger features. This is 

in sharp contrast to the equivalent spectra from Cu, where almost no background is 

found. It is also interesting to note that in Cu, there is no detectable band-like contribution to the Auger spectrum. This suggests that the large intrinsic secondary 

background, which is presumably dominated by 3- and 4-electron Auger-like transitions, is coupled to the presence of band-like Auger transitions.

Soft X-ray Imaging and C-XANES Linear Dichroism of Nematic 

Phase Transitions in Coal Derived Liquids X1A Carbon and Oxygen XANES and X-ray Imaging of Chemically Differentiated Regions in the Cell Wall Structure of Ancient (40-150 Ma) 

Wood * G.D. Cody (Carnegie Institute of Washington) 

Certain coals, when heated to temperatures > 400°C fluidize. The initially 

isotropic fluids nucleate microscopic, optically anisotropic, spheres which ultimately coalesce into a highly anistropic fluid. This property has important industrial applications in areas of metallurgical cokes and carbon electrode fabrication. The chemistry of these fluids is dominated by aromatic molecules. As the 

X-ray beam at X1A is highly polarized, one can use the intensity of the aromatic 

1s-T* transition to follow the generation of anisotropic regions within quenched 

samples of the fluids. This is because the 1s-T* transition is highly polarized perpendicular to the plane of the aromatic ring. Soft X-ray microscopy and micro 

C-XANES spectroscopy has been applied to a series of quenched glasses ranging 

from purely isotropic, to mixed phase, to purely anisotropic. Figure 1 presents 

images of the highly anisotropic quenched fluid (glass at room temperature). Fine 

scale anisotropic domains are clearly evident. It has been recognized that the size 

and topology of the anisotropic domains controls the quality of the material from 

industrial standpoints, however, details on the physics and chemistry that controls 

domain size are minimal. Figure 2 presents C-XANES spectra obtained from a 

single anisotropic domain, but with sample rotation to explore the extent of linear 

dichroism. Although the dichroism is pronounced, the average degree of preferred 

orientation parallel to the electric vector of the X-ray beam is on the order of 23 

degrees. Comparison of the anisotropic spectra obtained at the magic angle with 

spectra obtained from the truly isotropic regions reveals minimal differences in the 

carbon chemistry. This suggests that the isotropic to anisotropic transitions may 

be purely a second order liquid crystalline phase transition.

The fate of biomacromolecular compounds such as lignin and cellulose in ancient 

wood is being studied using the unique capabilities of the STXM at X1A. The 

cell wall of wood is chemically differentiated into several distinct regions, e.g. the 

middle lamellae, the primary cell wall, the S1, S2, and S3 regions of the secondary 

cell wall. Mature cells of fresh wood have lignin predominantly located within the 

middle lamellae and S2 region of the secondary cell wall. Recent studies using 

the STXM have revealed that the chemical differentiation within the cell wall persists well beyond the stage where the biomacromolecules lignin and cellulose are thermochemically altered into essentially new complex geomacromolecules. Efforts are currently focused on characterizing the chemical reactions that transform these 

biomacrmolecules, resolved within the discrete regions of the cell wall. High reso- lution soft X-ray imaging on the carbon (1s) absorption pre-edge, e.g. at 285 eV 

corresponding to aromatic carbon’s 1s-pi* transition reveals that cell wall chemical 

differentiation persists even after millions of years of preservation (Figure 1). We 

have observed chemical dif ferentiation in samples as old as 135 million years old. 

Micro C-XANES reveals significant differences across the discrete regions of the 

cell well, including variations in the average degree of aromatic ring hydroxylation, 

variations in lignin and cellulose, and variations in the concentration of oxidized 

organic functional groups not initially present in pristine lignin or cellulose (figure 

1).

X1A C-XANES Linear Dichroism Studies of Single Crystals of Polycyclic 

Aromatic Hydrocarbons *

U.), S. Wirick (SUNY at Stony Brook), and J. Waldbaur (Dartmouth U.) 

The recent upgrade of X1A has opened up new opportunities for solid phase 

characterization of relatively large carbonaceous molecules. In particular we have 

acquired high resolution near edge spectra of pure polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Single crystals of anthracene (C14), phenanthrene (C14), pyrene (ClG), crysene (C18), perylene (C20), and benzo-g-perylene (C22) have been studied to date. 

In each case pairs of high resolution C-XANES spectra have been obtained with the 

electric vector of the polarized X-ray beam parallel with the principal optical axes of 

the crystals (e.g. Figure 1). Anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, crysene, perylcne, 

and benzo-g-perylene have manifolds of 7, 7, 8. 9, 10, and 11 7i* states. respectively: 

therefore complex spectra are anticipated. The linear dichroism studies clearly allow distinction of pi vs. sigma type polarization; a trivial point at high energies, 

but a very helpful approach for the low energy (ls-3p/sig*) transitions that occur in the niiclst of the Is-T* transtioris. Extended Huckel molecular orbital calculations including the Z+1 (eqiiivalent core virtual orbital model) approximation fo 

the photoexcited molecule were used to facilitatr assigrirrient of t,hc fine striicture 

in tlic near edge region (e.g. figure 2). In principal. the fine structure (figiircs 1 antl 

2) may result from vibrational splitting as is common for simple molcciiles. The 

EHhIO Z+l calculations suggest, however. that small shifts in the energy of various 

Is-n.ir* transitions may be tliie to chemically inequivalent carbons. The results of 

these studies are providing the to onr undcrstantlirig of micro- characterization 

studies of thermally mctamorpl tl coals; materials with chemistry tlominatctl by 

polycylcic aromatic hydrocarbons.

A High Rate Gas Proportional Counter For Soft X-Ray Microscopy 

M. Feser (SUNY at Stony Brook), G. Smith, B. Yu (BNL), J. Kirz, and C. Jacobsen 

(SUNY at Stony Brook) 

A multichannel, low pressure gas proportional chamber is being developed and 

tested for the scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) at beamline XlA, 

to increase the count rate capability well beyond that of existing single channel 

detectors. 

1. The 

focused monochromatic x-ray beam enters the detector through a thin (120 nm) 

SiN window. The eight anode wires are connected in groups (from the front) of 1, 

1, 2 and 4. Because of the exponential decrease in x-ray photon intensity in the 

detector (length 5 cm), comparable count rates can be obtained on all four groups 

when the composition and pressure of the gas are optimized for a specific photon 

energy. Uncommon low Z gas mixtures such as neon with a C02 quench have been 

tested. Each group of anode wires feeds an electronic channel comprising a high 

bandwith preamplifier and shaping amplifier. 

The detector was studied in the energy range from 270 eV to 800 eV on the 

STXM at X1A. The principle of spreading photons over more than one channel 

has been demonstrated with the counter response to photon intensity being quite 

linear (Fig. 2). Images of a test pattern confirmed the good detector performance 

in connection with the microscope.

lThe Spatial Distribution and Bonding States of Carbon in the I ~~ A I - AlA I ALH84001 Meteorite from Mars 

G.J. Flynn (SUNY at Plattsburgh), L.P. Keller (MVA, Inc.), C. Jacobsen and S. 

Wirick (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

McKay et al. [l] reported that carbonate globules from the ALH84001 meteorite contain several indicators suggesting ancient biological activity on Mars. One 

indicator is their detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ”found in 

the highest concentrations in the regions rich in carbonates,” and associated with 

magnetites and sulfides similar in size and shape to those produced by terrestrial 

bacteria [l]. However, the spatial resolution of the PAH measurement (50 micrometers analysis spot) was comparable to the size of individual carbonate globules 

and far larger than the magnetites and sulfides which occur in thin rims on the 

globules. We employed the Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) at 

beamine XlA, using a 50 nanometer analysis beamspot, to determine the spatial 

distribution and the bonding state(s) of carbon in the ALH84001 meteorite with a 

spatial resolution about 1,000 times that achieved by McKay et al. [l]. Ultramicrotome sections of the carbonate and of rim material from the AL84001 meteorite 

were examined. 

The C-0 bond in carbonate gives rise to a strong absorption near 290 eV [2], 

while C-C, C=C, and C-H bonds have strong absorptions in the 284 to 287 eV 

range. Thus, Carbon X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (C-XANES) measure- ments provide a sensitive technique to detect and map the distribution of organic 

or graphitic carbon in a matrix of carbonate. 

C-XANES spectra of the ALH84001 carbonate globule samples showed strong 

absorption at 290 eV, characteristic of the C-0 bond in carbonate, and weaker 

absorptions at 284.8 eV, 286.5 eV, and 288.2 eV. The relative intensities of the latter 

three absorption peaks were approximately constant (where they could be detected) over the sample, however the ratio of these peaks to the C-0 peak varied with 

position. This indicates the presence of a second carbon-bearing phase, distributed 

inhomogeneously on the scale of the 50 nanometer beamspot, within the carbonate. 

C-XANES spectra of the ALH84001 dark rim samples showed no absorption at 

290 eV, consistent with the absence of carbonate. Some spots on these sections 

showed two absorption peaks at 284.5 eV and 288.2 eV, indicating the presence 

of C-C, C=C, or C-H bonds. The differences in absorption peak energies and the 

absence of the third peak in the rim sample indicate that the dominant carbonbearing phase in the rim is different from that in the carbonate globule. 

These preliminary results demonstrate the close association of carbon-bearing 

phases containing C-C, C=C, and/or C-H bonds with the carbonate globules and 

the rims, confirming, at a much smaller size scale than reported by McKay et al. 

[l], the association of a carbon-bearing phase with the carbonate globules and the 

rims on these globules from ALH84001. To confirm that the carbon-bearing phases 

in the carbonate globule and the rim are different from one another, as indicated 

by these C-XANES analyses, and to determine if these phases are organic, the 

same ultra-microtome sections analyzed by STXM were examined by micro-FTIR 

at beamline U4-IR [see results in 31.

hlodeling by Anders [l] indicates that interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) may 

have been an important source of organic matter on the early Earth, providing some 

of the pre-biotic organic compounds required for the development of life. The IDPs 

collected from the Earth's stratosphere by NASA are carbon-rich, containing an 

average of 12 weight percent carbon [a]. However, the ratio of elemental to organic 

carbon in the IDPs is not well-established. We have previously demonstrated that 

the Scanning Transmission X-ray hIicroscope (STXhI) on beamline X1,4 can be used 

to map the spatial clistributiori of carbon arid to determine the carbon bonding states 

by Carbon-X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (C-XANES) measurements [3]. 

The carbon in two of the first three IDPs examined by C-XANES is dominated by 

poorly graphitized or amorphous elemental carbon rather than organic carbon [3]. 

100 to 200 nm 

examined using the STXhl. L2009.J4 exhibited several distinct niorphologies of 

carbon-rich material: individual micron sized grains, thin regions partially stirroiintling non-carbonaceous grains (apparently carbon coatings about 100 to 200 

nni thick on those grains), and larger regions of carbon-rich material (microns in 

size) containing riori-carbonaceous grains. A C-XANES spectrum of a11 intlivitlual micron-sizod carbonaceous grain in L2009.J4 showed absorption peaks near 285 

CV antl 289 eV. consistent with C-C antl C-0 boritls respectively, arid inconsistent 

with graphite or arnorphous carbon. L201 l*B5 showed little absorption below the 

C-edge, indicating that this particle is tlorninatetl by carhoriaceoiis material. CXANES analyses of carbori-rich regions in L2011*B5 are iri progress. L2009*F2 

showed no obvious carbowrich areas, indicating the bulk carbon content of this 

IDP is significantly lower than the other two IDPs in this study antl three IDPs 

previousl,v examined [R] in the STXhl. However. C-XANES specta of some spots on 

L2009*F2 showed an absorption peak near 289 eV, an energy inconsistent with the 

absorption spectrum of graphitic or amorphous carbon. Thus, the C-XANES analy- ses of L2011*B5 and L2009*F2 indicate the presence of carbon in a form other than 

graphite or arnorphous carbon. The absorption near 289 eV in each of these samples 

is indicative of a C-0 bond, suggesting an organic phase. The ultra-microtome sec- tion of L2009*F2 was subsequently examined by micro-Fourier Transform Infrared 

(FTIR) spectroscopy at bearnline U4IR. and the IR signature of the C-H stretching 

vibrations in an aliphatic hydrocarbon was detected, confirming the presence of ail 

organic compound in that sample [see results in 41. 

These results 011 L2009*F2 demonstrate that STXhI and micro-FTIR can be 

performed on the same ultra-microtome thin section. using the STXlI to map the 

distribution of carbon in the section. to determine the bulk carbon content. antl to 

identify the graphitic or amorphous elemental carbon. and using the micro-FTIR 

to determine the types of organic carbon present.

I I Determination of Partial Miscibility in Phase Separated PBT-PC 

Blends by STXM 

Y. Gao, T. Banach, V. Watkins, G. Hutchins (GE), D. Pierson, A.P. Smith, H. 

Ade (NCSU) 

In partially miscible, phase-separated polymer blends, the amount of miscibility is one of the most important parameters that determine physical and thermal 

properties. In completely amorphous blends, such miscibilities may be obtained ac- cording to the Flory-Fox equation by measuring the glass transition temperatures 

of the blend. However, this equation does not pertain to blends of semi-crystalline 

and amorphous materials. Due to solubility differences, it has also not been possible to directly measure it from a single domain. Recently, we have used the X1A 

SUNY Stony Brook Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) to investigate the partial miscibility in a phase-separated polymer blend consisting of 45C K 

edge. This particular specimen has lamellar shaped domains with adequate domain 

size for both PBT and PC rich regions. Since PBT and PC each have their own characteristic spectroscopic features in the vicinity of the C K edge, the observed 

spectra can be deconvoluted by using the Target Factor Analysis (TFA) method 

to obtain the percentage of each component given the reference spectra from the 

pure PBT and PC specimens. We have measured three PBT rich and three PC 

rich regions using a focused X-ray beam, and then defocused the beam to obtain an average composition from a much larger area. The table below summarizes the 

weight percentages obtained by TFA analysis. 

It appears from the data that PC has a higher degree of miscibility in PBT: 

two out of three PBT rich regions contain more than 1/3 of PC, while in all the 

three PC rich region, the amount of PBT is about 1/4. When the defocused X-ray 

beam was used, the measured composition was 48/52, being very close to the actual 

composition. It is necessary to mention that these results are still preliminary and 

the calculated values may contain systematic errors due to the complication from 

a halo around the incident X-ray micro beam, and variation in specimen thickness. 

We estimate that the spectral contamination due to the halo is at least several per 

cent. All these along with the instrumental stability of the X1A-STXM, will be 

improved in the future experiment.

I X-ray Microscopy of Frozen Hydrated Specimen I X1A I 

J. Maser, S. Wang, A. Osanna, S. Spector, C. Jacobsen, J. Kirz (SUNY at Stony 

Brook) 

The cry0 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (cryo-STXM) at the XlA 

beamline is capable of imaging frozen hydrated specimens of several micrometer 

thickness at a temperature of 120 K and below [l]. It allows us to image and analyze 

biological objects such as cells at sub-100 nm spatial resolution without the need for 

chemical fixation, staining or sectioning. Spectromicroscopy and microspectroscopy can be performed at a spectral resolution of up to A/AA = 4000. The cryo-STXM 

is designed as a vacuum system. This allows us to make use of the full spectral 

range of x-rays provided by the X1A beamline. 

To demonstrate the increased structural stability of radiation sensitive specimens 

at low temperatures, we exposed several areas in the nucleus of a 3T3 fibroblast 

cell to radiation doses in excess of lo9 Gy. Fig.1 shows the frozen hydrated speci- men after exposure. Even though ionization and damage from secondary electrons 

has presumably caused the breakage of a significant number of chemical bonds in 

the irradiated areas and created radicals, the matrix of frozen water preserves the 

structural integrity of the cold specimen, and no structural damage is manifest. 

Fig.2 shows an image of the nucleus after the specimen was slowly warmed in the 

vacuum chamber to room temperature. Massive mass loss in the areas which have 

sustained large radiation doses leads to the formation of micrometer-sized holes in 

the specimen. Less severe mass loss and other artifacts from freeze-drying can be seen in the other areas of the specimen. 

We have recently installed a rotary stage to enable tilting of the specimen around an axis orthogonal to the x-ray beam, and started tomographic experiments. We 

have also embarked upon microspectroscopy of frozen hydrated biological specimens. 

All images shown have been taken at a wavelength of 2.4 nm using zone plates with an outermost zone width of 60 nm (Rayleigh resolution of 73 nm).

I Lanthanide Polychelate Probes for Scanning X-Ray Microscopy * I X1A I 

RI.h#I. hIoronne (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) 

To take advantage of this high resolution now available from x-ray microscopes 

for biological studies, we have developed multi-residue polychelate lanthanide com- pounds that are sufficiently bright and radiation stable to be the basis of a family 

of x-ray excitable biological probes. Luminescent lanthanide compounds can have 

very large Stokes shifts (more than 100 nm). As a result? their quantum yields are not significantly depressed when assembled into multimeric structures compared 

with single fluor molecules. This makes it practical to increase probe brightness 

by building polychelates capable of binding a large number of lanthanicles(greater 

than 80) in a single probe molecule. However, because of their size and surface 

electrostatic properties, polychelate probes are prone to lion-specific background 

staining. In the past year we have been able to overcome initial problem by the 

development of biotinylated lanthanide- polychelates (bioLPC) that are virtually 

free of non-specific labeling artifacts. This approach relies on the tetravalcncy of 

avitlin/streptaviclin. 1, cells 

are treated with phalloidin-biotin as a primary for filamentous actin. followed by 

streptavitlin, which has four biotin binding site. Only one or two sites is likely to he 

occupied when bound to phalloidin-biotin leaving two to three available for binding 

to bioLPC. In this way, as many as 240 lanthanide atoms can be attached to a 

single molecular target, greatly increasing probe brightness imtler x-rays. Using a 

rhodamine tracer on the polychelate probe antl fliiorescencc light microscopy, we 

have demonstrated that bioLPC is capable of labeling with a specificity fully equivalent to conventional avidin-biotin probes for act,in niicrofilnments, microtubules, 

nuclear splicing factor, FISH DNA probes, antl other antigens. In ApriI.97, we achieved the highest resolution x-ray excited Iinnincscent iniagcs to date using bioLPC to label actin filaments in 3T3 nioiise fibroblasts (Fig.1). \I% believe that 

this data establishes the effectiveness of lanthanide polychrlatc probes for scanning 

x-ray microscopy, antl fully expect to achieve a five fold improvement in resolution over visible light microscopic methods.

In clay and soil science, structural properties as well as surface reactions and many 

other processes of interest depend on water, solutions or other liquids surrounding 

the actual sample. 

In order to start different studies on these fields, a wet specimen cell matched to 

the special requirements of the X1-A Scanning Transmission X-Ray hIicroscope has 

been designed. A section overview of this wet cell is shown in figure 1. 

The wet cell consists of two 100 nm thick silicon nitride windows that are pulled 

together by surface tension forces and form a suspension/solution layer of a few 

micron thickness, which allows detection of soft x-rays in transmission.

Using the Stony Brook x-ray microscopes, we have continued investigating 

XANES spectra of amino acids and peptides at the carbon edge [l]. In addition, we have begun to acquire XANES spectra at the oxygen edge. Carbon edge 

spectroscopy was performed in the ambient environment microscope (STXM) ; the 

recently commisioned cryogenic x-ray microscope (CryoSTXM) , which operates in 

high vacuum [2], allowed us to obtain oxygen edge spectra for the first time. For 

both microscopes, the amino acids were prepared as dry films on SiN windows. 

At the oxygen edge, the amino acid spectra show a strong 7r* resonance due to 

the C-0 double bond in the carboxyl. The oxygen edge spectrum of Glutamic Acid 

at 0.2 eV resolution is shown in Fig. 1. 

At the carbon edge, we have continued our efforts towards a complete database of 

the 20 amino acids that make up mammalian proteins. In addition, we have started 

investigating collagen that consist only of a small number of different amino acids.

We have begun to use the X-1A cryogenic scanning transmission x-ray microscope 

to investigate radiation-sensitive specimens in their natural (wet) environment. [l] . We have started imaging human sperm at energies around the oxygen edge to 

extend our abilities to identify defects in sperm chromatin structure that may be 

responsible for certain types of male infertility. XANES imaging at the carbon 

edge has been used to map the DNA and the protein distribution in mammalian 

sperm heads [2]; however, due to the high dry mass of human sperm heads, it has 

not been possible so far to determine the DNA and protein distribution for human 

sperm. DNA is packed inside the nuclei of mammalian sperm by two small proteins, 

protamine 1 and protamine 2. The protamine 2 content of sperm appears to vary 

widely among different species of mammals. An increasing number of studies have 

correlated alterations in the relative proportions of protamine 1 and 2 in the sperm 

of humans with male infertility. [2] 

At the oxygen edge, the increased absorption length of soft x rays compared to 

the carbon edge has allowed us to image these specimens for the first time. The 

specimens were prepared in frozen hydrated form by plunge-freezing a suspension 

of sperm cells on an electron microscope grid. We have begun acquiring protein and 

DNA spectra at the oxygen edge. In addition, in order to determine if a specimen 

is embedded in truly vitrified ice, or if the water crystallized, we have started to 

investigate high-resolution spectra of amorphous and de-vitrified ice.

h/Iorphology of Rubber Toughened PhIMA Blends with X-ray hJicroscopy * 

A. P. Smith, H. Ade, R. J. Spontak and C. C. Koch (NCSU) 

Toughening of plastics by inclusions of small amounts of rubber has long been recognized as a method to improve the impact properties of brittle polymers. We have 

begun a study of the rubber toughening of poly(methy1 methacrylate) (Ph,Ih,IA) with 

ethylene-&-propylene rubber (EPR) with the non-equilibrium processing route of 

mechanical alloying. Determination of the blend morphology for this system with 

conventional means is prevented due to the absence of a preferential stain. We 

have therefore employed the Stony Brook Scanning Transmission X-ray hficroscope 

(STXhI) and its irihcrent sensitivity to chemical functionality to ascertain the blend 

morphology of this system. Three blends were prepared by milling 25/75 w/w 

EPR/PhIhIA polymer mixtures at cryogenic temperatures (-180 "C) for 1, 2. and 

5 hours respectively. The powders were subsequently melt pressed at 200 "C antl 

20 hIPa for five min. and then quenched. The samples were then cryomicrotomed 

to form thin sections. Figure 1 contains x-ray micrographs of the blends milled for 

a) 5 hrs. b) 2 hrs, and c) 1 hr respectively. These niicrographs were acquired at a photon energy of 287.6 eV where the EPR appears dark. These micrographs show 

that fine-scale dispersion of the EPR within the PlIhIA has been achicvxl with 

EPR domain sizes of 3 pm antl smaller. The morphologv observed iri the 1 and 2 

hr milling is about the same while the 5 hr milling has started to break the larger 

EPR domains into smaller pieces. This tlernoristrates that with increased milling 

time, the EPR domain size will be smaller antl raises the potential of forming siibmicron particles with increased milling time. Further work will include cxtcntling 

the mechauical alloying tirne, varying the post alloying processing antl correlating 

the observed morphology to the physical properties of exh blend.

We have used high-energy ball milling to form non-equilibrium blends of the 

highly immiscible polymers poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) and Vectra (75/25 

mol% oxybenzoate/2,6 oxynaphthoate). Characterization of the blend morphology 

for this system by conventional TEhI is severely hindered by the lack of a preferential stain. Therefore, we have employed the sensitivity to chemical functionality 

inherent to the Stony Brook Scanning Transmission X-ray hIicroscope (STXhI) to 

determine the morphology of three separate blends of these polymers. Figure 1 

shows micrographs obtained from a)75/25, b)9O/lO. and c)99/1 w/w PET/\Tectra 

mixtures acquired at a photon energy of 286.7 eV where the Vectra appears dark. 

These blends were each cryo-milled (-150 "C) for six hours and subsequently melt 

extruded at 285 "C. The micrographs in Figure 1 show that the Vectra forms tlispersions within a PET matrix ranging in size from 0.1 prn to 20 pm, an indication 

of fine-scale mixing. In addition. the Vectra dispersions possess an internal striicture which is potentially due to a) thickness variations, b) chemical variations (PET 

within the Vectra dispersions). antl c) orientation of the liquid crystalline Vectra. 

Since the STXhI is sensitive to all of thickness, chemistry, antl orientation, it can he 

utilized to tleconvolve these effects. A series of images of the 90/10 blend acqiiired 

at different photon energies show that no PET appears to be within the Vectra tlispersions while images acquired with the electric polarization vector rotated by 90" 

tlenioristratc that there is a srnall orientation component to the internal structiire. 

However, most of the internal structiire is due to the thickness variation within the 

sample. These results constitute the first succwsfiil morphological characterization 

of a system containing Vectra.

A.P. Hitchcock (McMaster) 

We utilize the chemical sensitivity and spatial resolution of the Stoney Brook X1A 

Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) to chemically analyze sub-micron 

phase segregation in polyurethane polymers. An understanding of the connections 

between polymer formulation, the chemical nature of the segregated phases, amd 

the physical properties of the resulting polymer is important in the development of 

improved polyurethane materials. Chemically sensitive x-ray absorption contrast 

mechanisms are used to image polymer phase segregation, and Near Edge X-ray 

Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy are used to chemically characterize sub-micron regions that are inaccessible by other micro-analytical techniques. 

We have used x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray microscopy in the STXM microscope to investigate the chemical character of styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) and 

polyurethane (PIPA) precipitates in a polyether-rich polyurethane matrix. In Fig- ure 1, the Near Edge X-ray Absorption Spectra (NEXAFS) of SAN and the polymer 

matrix are presented, together with STXM images recorded at specific x-ray energies. In image "A" (recorded at 285.1 eV), both SAN and PIPA precipitates are 

observed. This x-ray energy corresponds to C 1s + 7r*c=c electronic transitions in 

phenyl groups, which are in high concentration in the PIPA and SAN precipitates. 

In image "B" (recorded at 287.1 eV), SAN precipitates are exclusively observed. 

This x-ray energy corresponds to an acrylonitrile-specific electronic transition (C 

1s + 7r*cE~). It is also interesting to observe the presence of a "halo" around the 

SAN precipitates in image "C" (recorded at 289.0 eV), indicating the presence of a chemically distinct region at the precipitate-matrix interface.

Y. Wang, C. Jacobsen, A. Kalukin, J. Kirz, J. Maser, A. Osanna (SUNY at Stony 

Brook) 

The Cry0 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (cryoSTXM) is entering operation at X1A beamline of NSLS[l]. It has produced images of test-pattern and 

frozen hydrated biological samples at lateral spatial resolution of 70 nm and spectral 

resolution of A/AA = 4000 during commissioning experiments. By using a TEMtype cry0 specimen holder, an unfixed biological specimen (3T3 fibroblast cells used 

for demonstration) is maintained below -165°C during imaging, so that it is able 

to withstand radiation dosage up to about 10gGy before structural damage is observable. This level of radiation tolerance allows the acquisition of multiple images 

with a single biological object for tomography or XANES imaging[2]. 

The airlock of the cry0 specimen holder is mounted on a rotary stage to allow 

single-axis tilting of the specimen within a f50° angular range. The figure below 

shows a frozen hydrated 3T3 cell reconstructed from 8 projections in a f20" angular range with algebraic reconstruction technique (ART). Other reconstruction 

and restoration technique are being explored to improve the image quality. This 

technique has also been combined with spectroscopy to study chemical composition of a sample in three dimensions. Besides the applications in biology, we have 

performed experiments to study the possibility of examining defects in materials 

typically used in semiconductor industries with cryoSTXM. The figure below shows a tear in a copper film.

I Shape Resonances in the Series C2H2, C2H4 and C2Hs * I X1B I

A. M. Bradshaw (Fritz-Haber-Institut, Berlin) 

Local maxima in the photoabsorption spectra of small molecules just above 

threshold are commonly identified as shape resonances. Their occurrence is ex- plained either by an amplification of the photoionization process via a virtual an- tibonding orbital, or by scattering of the outgoing photoelectron on the molecular core. In the latter picture, the uptake of angular momentum in the scattering 

process creates a potential barrier thus trapping the continuum electron. A semiempirical linear correspondence between bond length and the shape resonance position in the respective near-edge absorption spectrum has been proposed ('bond 

lengths with a ruler'). 

We have measured low kinetic energy photoelectron spectra of gaeous C2H2, C2H4 

and CzHs above the C 1s threshold. By integration of the respective peaks we were 

able to distinguish contributions from the C Is-' single hole state and satellite 

channels in the photoionisation cross section. Satellite lines in photoionization are due to a simultaneous valence excitation occuring upon removal of the core electron, 

and are separated from the main line at a lower kinetic energy. Our results show 

that satellite channels play a much stronger role in above-threshold cross-section 

enhancement than contributions from the C Is-' single hole state [I]. In CzHz and 

CzH4 this enhancement takes place at photon energies formerly identified as shaperesonance positions from photoabsorption curves. Our results show that care must 

be taken in the interpretation of photoabsorption measurements, as they provide 

only indirect information on the underlying processes. Further, we call into question 

whether there is a simple correlation between shape resonance position and bond 

length even in polyatomic molecules.

U. Hergenhahn and A. M. Bradshaw (Fritz-Haber-Institut, Berlin) 

The high resolution of the X1B beamline has enabled us to measure the vibrational fine structure on the C 1s and N 1s level photoelectron lines of several small 

molecules, e.g. [l,2]. Due to a recent change of grating the 0 1s level has now also 

become accessible, e.g. [3]. Here we report new measurements of both the C 1s and 

0 1s main lines in the photoelectron spectrum of CO. From Figure 1 it is clear 

that the vibrational spacing of the 0 Is-' state is significantly lower than in the 

C Is-' state: 226(7) meV compared to 300(4) meV. This can be explained by the 

fact that the 1c (0 1s) orbital of CO has a slight bonding character, whereas the 

2~7 (C 1s) orbital is slightly antibonding. Compared to the ground-state equilibrium 

C-0 distance of 1.128 A, we extract from the analysis of the Franck-Condon factors 

bondlengths of 1.079(2) A and 1.167(4) A for the C 1s and 0 1s core-ionized states, 

respectively.

Compared with the wealth of information on core-level photoionization of closedshell molecules, our knowledge of open-shell molecules is much less profound. As a 

general feature, the Is photoelectron spectra of these molecules will show two main 

lines split by the exchange interaction. Naively, one would expect their branching 

ratio to be determined by the spin multiplicity. Investigations with an X-ray line 

source, however, have not shown this expected behaviour in the high energy limit 

On X1B we have, therefore, investigated the energy dependence of the K-shell 

ionization of 02. This molecule is paramagnetic due to its 3C, ground state; on 

removal of a core electron 0 (Is-’) and “E ionic states can be created (Fig. 1). 

The two lines are separated by 1.11 eV. The ‘1C/2C intensity branching ratio would 

be expected to be two from the ratio of the multiplicities, but Fig. 2 shows that 

it increases from a minimum at 552 eV steadily towards an asymptotic value of 

2.48 at a photon energy of 750 eV which is in good agreement with the value of 

2.47 found by Bagus et a1 [l]. Theoretical irivestigations of this branching ratio [l] 

attribute the deviations from two to spin-dependent population differences in the 

valence shell of the ion. Even for the asymptotic value, however, no quantitative 

agreement was reached.

X1B Adsorption and Reaction of NO on Pt / CeOz(001) at Low Temperatures * 

D. R. hhillins, D. R. Huntley and S. H. Overbury (ORNL) 

Highly crystalline 50 - 100 nm films of Ce02(001) were prepared ex situ by vapor 

deposition on a rolled Ni foil. This method produced films with small grains having an (001) polar orientation but which were azimuthally disordered. The combination 

of a thin film thickness and a conductive substrate resulted in oxide samples that 

showed no evidence of sample charging even when cooled to 100 K. This enabled 

us to study the adsorption and reaction of NO on CeOz at 100 K by XPS and 

XAS. Previous studies were limited to room temperature and above due to sample 

charging. The current results also enabled us to assign the binding energies more 

accurately. 

Fig. 1 shows the N 1s spectra from NO adsorbed on sputtered Ce02(001) at 100 

K and 300 K. Six different N Is signal can be identified. In the 100 K spectrum, 

the two highest binding energy peaks arc associated with NzO. The highest binding 

energy peak is assigned to the central N atom and the peak at 404.5 eV is assigyxl 

to the terniinal N. The presence of N20 was also iritlicated by the N k-edge XAS 

spectra. The large peak 402.5 eV is assigned to NO. When NO is adsorbed at 300 

K, three additiorial peaks are observed arid the NzO peaks disappear. The lowest 

binding energy peak at 396 eV is assigned to a nitride, N-, species, while the two 

other peaks are assigned to atomic N in different states. Only the atomic N peaks 

persist when the sample is arinealed to 900 K. 

The adsorption of NO on Pt / CeOa(001) is similar to what was observed on 

Rh / Ce02(001). Deposition of Pt onto a sputtered CeOa siirface increases the 

degree of dissociation in subsequently adsorbed NO. \\‘hen the NO is tlosetl at 100 

K, none of the NO dissociates over Pt 011 a fully oxitlizd CeOz surface and only 

partial dissociation occurs upon warming to 300 K. 011 a sputtered CeOa surface, 

Pt promotes partial tlissociatiori of NO at 100 K and almost total dissociation after 

warming to 300 K. 
I Oxidation of and NO Reactions on Ce Metal Foil * I X1B I 

D. R. Mullins, D. R. Huntley and S. H. Overbury (ORNL) 

The oxidation of polycrystalline Ce metal was studied using 0 Is, Ce 4d and 

valence band photoemission and by 0 k-edge XAS. Previous studies using single 

crystal CeOz films demonstrated that the CeOz was very resistant to chemical 

reduction by either Hz or CO in vacuum and could only be reduced by Ar ion 

sputtering. The aim of the current study was to start with the most reduced form 

of Ce and then increase the degree of oxidation by exposure to oxygen and then to 

compare the behavior of the oxidized surface to single crystal CeOz. 

Exposure of Ce metal to 10 - 20 L of 02 at 300 K was sufficient to oxidize 

surface Ce from Ceo to Ce+3. Exposure to additional oxygen, > 1000 L, resulted in 

further oxidation from Ce+3 to Ce+4. This surface oxide was not thermally stable. 

Annealing the sample to 600 K resulted in the reduction of the surface Ce back to 

Ce+3. This is the exact opposite of the behavior of sputtered CeOz. As shown in 

the figure, sputtered CeOz reoxidizes upon annealing. The behavior of Ce metal 

and CeO2 suggests that the oxygen is very mobile and diffuses from regions of high 

oxygen concentration, i.e. the bulk in CeO2 and the surface on oxidized Ce foil, to 

regions of low oxygen concentration. 

The adsorption and reaction of NO on oxidized Ce metal was similar to the 

behavior observed for NO on single crystal CeOz. If the Ce was highly oxidized 

to predominantly Ce+4, NO uptake was inhibited and only a small amount of N 

containing species was observed on the surface by N Is XPS. Conversely, if the 

surface Ce was predominantly Ce+3, considerable NO uptake was observed and 

nearly all of the NO was dissociated. When Rh was deposited on the Ce+4 oxide 

surface, N uptake was observed with some of the NO adsorbing associatively and 

some dissociating. Addition of Rh to the Ce+3 oxide surface promoted additional 

dissociation of adsorbed NO at 300 K . Heating of Rh deposited on an oxidized Ce 

foil resulted in the encapsulation of the Rh. Rh deposited on a single crystal CeOz 

film is comparatively stable upon annealing.

I Non-linear Dispersion in Resonant Auger Decay of Water * I X1B I 

M. N. Piancastelli, B .Kempgens, K. Maier , U. Hergenhahn, A. Rudel, A.M. Bradshaw 

(Fritz-Haber-Institut, Berlin), and A.Kivimaki (U. of Oulu) 

The dispersion of a photoelectron line (kinetic energy vs. photon energy) should 

as a result of energy conservation be a linear relationship with unit slope. For a molecular photoelectron line containing an unresolved vibrational envelope, this 

statement usually remains valid for the center of gravity. Recently, however, deviations from linear behaviour for the center of gravity-dispersion in resonant X-ray 

scattering and resonant Auger-decay have been predicted. This means that when 

the photon energy is tuned over a core-to-bound resonance, there is not necessarily 

a one-to-one correspondence between the changes in photon energy and in kinetic 

energy of the center of gravity of some resonantly enhanced photoelectron lines. 

This can be understood in terms of changes in the vibrational population of the 

intermediate and final states when different portions of the resonance are excited. 

Dispersion with a slope larger or smaller than one (the gain in kinetic energy is 

larger or smaller, respectively, than the gain in photon energy) is possible. 

We have measured the resonant Auger decay spectrum of the water molecule at 

the oxygen K-edge. The first two core-to-bound resonances are usually assigned to 

0 ls-4al and 0 ls-2bz excitations. In the absorption spectrum both resonances are broadened either by an unresolved vibrational fine-structure or by fast dissociation 

and have widths of about 1.2 eV. The participator decay spectra excited by a 

photon band much smaller than this resonant linewidth were recorded at different 

positions along the resonances. (Participator processes involve the electron that 

has been excited and result in final states with a single hole in the valence shell. 

The same states are usually populated by direct valence photoionization.) We have 

determined dispersion relationships for decay into the 3a;' and lb,' final states 

which demonstrate strong deviations from linear behaviour (Fig. 1). This effect can lead to new insights into the shape of highly excited and ionic molecular potential 

curves.

I Negative Thermal Expansion of Cu(OO1) I X2.4 I 

A. P. Baddorf (ORNL) 

State of the art theories, both ab-initio and semi-empirical treatments, are still 

based on ground state interactions. and do not account for enhanced thermal expansion observed at the surface of a number of metals. Narasimhan and Scheffler 

have proposed a quasiharmonic model in which entropy contributions to the free 

energy clue to in-plane vibrations lead to large expansions without anharmonicity.[l] A superb test of this quasi-harmonic model can be found in the Cu(001) 

system, where ion scattering experiments have shown the in-plane vibrational amplitude exceeds the out-of-plane amplitudes, which is rather unusual.[2] We have 

used XRD to determine the structure of Cu(001) between 300 and 1000 K. At 300 

K the results indicate a small contraction in the outermost layer of 1.5% of the bulk 

spacing. This value is consistent with other surface studies and can be explained 

by a rearrangement of surface electrons to reduce kinetic energy (Smolouchowski 

smoothing). As the temperature is increased, thc in-plane vibrational amplitudes 

do dominate. At the same time the outermost interlayer spacing decreases further, 

reaching a minimum near 800 K (Fig. 1). This thermal contraction is opposite 

all expectations: current first principles and semi-cmpirical theories predict an ex- pansion. [ 11 The quasiharmonic theory exasperates the issue arid can only increase 

the predicted expansion. An additional mechanism, with an inwardly directed force 

is niissing from these theories. One possiblity would be a tlynarnical application 

of Smolouchowski smoothing, where the increased surface corrugation iritlricetl by 

excitation of in-plane phonon modes leads to an increased iriwartl relaxation.

X2A The Periodic Lattice Distortion Accompanying the (3x3) Charge Density Wave Phase of SnjGe(ll1) 

A. P. Baddorf, V. Jahns. Jiandi Zhang (ORNL), J. hI. Carpinelli, and E. W. 

Plummer (ORNL/UT) 

Recently we have documented the first clear example of a surface charge density 

wave (CDW) independent of bulk phenomena. [1.2] Our experimental and theoretical 

studies of the Ge(111)-(3x3)R30"-M interface? where hI is either Pb or Sn. reveal 

that upon cooling below 255 K (Pb) or 215 K (Sn), the surface reversibly undergoes a 

symmetry reduction to a (3x3) periodicity. The origin of the CD\V in both systems 

is at present unknown. The structure associated with the PLD provides crucial 

information for any physical explanation, yet the SThI images have shed no light on the nature of the PLD. At NSLS we have utilized XRD to address the issue of 

the magnitude and character of the lattice distortion that accompanies the CDW. 

The data indicates that the PLD is confined almost entirely to the Sn and first Ge 

layer, i.e. no deep reconstruction. Surprisingly (based on SThI images) there is 

little distortion of the Sn atoms induced by the CD\V, but three of the nine Ge 

atoms in the surface plane in the new (3x3) unit cell move laterally 0.22 Afurther 

towards the Sn atom that according to SThI has an excess of filled states. This 

result suggests a stronger coupling than indicated by Stumpf's calculations [I], antl 

indicates the origin of the CD\V is related to the chemical bond. Specifically, three 

Ge in the outermost layer give up their nearly ideal sp:' hybridization, optimized 

for bonding to the GP substrate, to better boritl to the Sn.

In-situ Observation of the Split Diffuse Intensity Maxima of a 

Cu0.7Pd0.3 Single Crystal 

H. Reichert, H. Dosch (U. of Wuppertal, Germany), H.H. Hung, K.S. Liang (SRRC, 

Taiwan), V. Jahns, and D. Zehner (ORNL) 

We have performed measurements of the diffuse x-ray scattering in the disordered 

phase of a Cu-29.8 at% Pd single crystal exposing a (001) surface. Below the phase 

transition temperature the crystal exhibits a long-period superstructure producing 

sattelites along the h,k, and 1 directions through Ll2 superstructure reflections. 

Crossing the phase transition temperature a subset of the sattelite reflections transforms into diffuse intensity maxima around the positions of Ll2 superstructure 

reflections. Thus, the diffuse maxima exhibit the expected fourfold splitting in the 

disordered phase, associated with Fermi-surface induced effects. Fig.1 shows the 

diffuse scattering in the (l+h,O,l+l)-plane together with a textured powder ring 

from the sample holder. 

In this study the total diffuse scattering has been measured in-situ for a set 

of temperatures along the h and 1 direction through the (101) position. Fitting 

the intensity distibution we have determined the temperature dependence of the 

position of the split diffuse maxima. Fig.2 shows the temperature dependence of the 

distance between two opposite maxima. Both, the positions of the diffuse maxima 

and the related temperature dependence differ from predictions of a recent, state 

of the art first-principles alloy calculation for Cu3Pd. 

X2B Modeling of Sandstone Permeability from Medial Axis Analysis of 3D 

Microtomography Images 

D. Coker, W.B Lindquist, W. Zhu,T-F Wong (SUNY), J.H. Dunsmuir(Exxon) 

We investigate the scientific usefulness of the medial axis transform (MAT) in 

characterizing the geometry of the void and grain phases of rock and in predicting 

bulk flow properties. The MAT is functionally described as the central spine of 

pixels that remain after a binary object is "burned" inward from the exterior. The 

pixel value at the spine is the distance to the nearest interface. The MAT preserves 

the topological and most of the metric information in the image while reducing 

its dimensionality. The motivation for this work is the accurate description of the 

network structure of real rock specimens for use in the modeling of fluid transport 

properties. 

We obtained 1024x1024~512 3D microtomographic images at 5pm resolution of 

six Fontainebleau sandstones with a porosities ranging from 7.5 to 22% and mea- sured permeability. Specimens of Berea sandstone and Danish chalk were also 

included in the study .Work is ongoing in segmenting the 3D images into pore and 

grain binary images and computing the MAT.

Computation of Single and hhltiple Fluid NMR Relaxation Spectra 

from Differential Absorption Contrast hlicrotomography Images 

J.H. Dunsmuir and M. Zhou (Exxon Research and Engineering) 

In the petroleum industry an important aspect of modeling fluids in small pores 

is understanding the signals that arise from instruments that are placed in a drilled 

borehole to detect hydrocarbons and estimate their producibility. In principle, 

nuclear magnetic resonance (NRIR) tools yield information about fluid saturations, 

probe local properties of pore fluid geometry and have been used to estimate the 

pore size distribution of water saturated reservoir rocks near the borehole wall. 

We have used differential absorption contrast microtomography across the iodine 

K edge to locally reconstruct in saturated sandstones both the pore geometry and 

the distribution of two immiscible fluids and apply a simple method for computing 

the NhIR Ta relaxation spectrum directly from the CT data. Figure 1 shows a 

24 micron resolution slice of a large-pore, high porosity sandstone( porosity = 27'36, 

absolute permeability 4.0 Darcy) containing both oil and brine. In this specimen the 

brine has been labeled with a 5wt% NaI saline solution and the brine distribution 

is mapped by edge crossing. The specimen has both oil antl brine wet pore surfaces 

and we infer microporous mineral regions by observing regions where segmented 

iodine antl rock overlap. 

When diffusion is fast enough to maintain spatial uniformity of the magnetization 

across a pore, a linear relationship exists between the magnetization relaxation antl 

the surface to volume ratio of the pore space given by 1/ T:! = 1/ Tat, + p S/V 

where Tz is the observed decay time, T:!b is the bulk decay time of fluid, p (pm/sec) 

is the snrface relaxivity antl S/V is the surface to volume ratio of the pore network. 

In this work we use a local measurement of thc snrface to volume ratio around a 

number of randomly selected points in the tomographically measnred pore space 

to compute the relaxation Ta at each point. Thc local measure is taken within a 

sub-volume of size L:' selected to lie within the fast diffusion limit L << D;/p where 

D, is the bulk diffnsivity (cm'/sec) of the fluid i. The algorithm is therefor a simple 

image processing kernel for the local measurement of S/V. 

Tomography specimens are lcrn diameter by 3cm long right cylinders encapsnlated in PTFE tnbing antl are sufficiently large to obtain cxpcrimental nieasnrenient 

of the NlIR spectrum. NRIR spectra acquired at ambient temperature are in good 

agreement with the computed spectra.

X3A1 Structure of the Cyclodextrinjp-nitroaminobiphenyl host/guest 

Complex * 

T. Brett (U. of Nebraska), A. Darovsky and P. Coppens (SUNY Q Buffalo) 

The "push-pull" compound pnitroaminobiphenyl (pnab), has a triplet state with a lifetime of 1.4 ps. and is a candidate for the study of photoinduced transient species 

in crystals, using the time-structure of the synchrotron source. We have synthesized 

and analyzed crystals of its complex with the host molecule P-cyclodextrin (CD). 

The measurements were carried out at 13K. The results show that the crystals 

contain two pnab molecules per CD dimer. The terminal nitro groups of the pnab 

molecules are in the center of the barrel-shaped host molecules, while the amine 

groups are at the opening of the host (see Fig. 1). It is of interest that the two 

pnab molecules have different conformations, the inter-ring torsion angle being zz 

45", and zz 38" respectively.

I Single Crystal Analysis of a New High Pressure Fe-bearing Silicate I X3A1 I 

T. Gasparik, C.L. Cahill, J.B. Parise, (CHiPR, SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The synthesis and stability of NazMgzSiz07 (NMS) at high pressures were first 

reported by Gasparik and Litvin (Eur. J. Mineral. 9, 311, 1997). A crystal chemical 

investigation of the effects of iron on the properties NMS has been undertaken. 

Single crystals of Fe-bearing NMS were synthesized at 1550C and 13.5 GPa in a split-sphere anvil apparatus (USSA-2000) from a mix of 1 mol NazSizOs, 5 mol 

MgO, 4 mol Si02 and 1 mol Fe. Two crystals were screened for data collection at 

the X3A1 beamline an imaging plate detection system. The first, approximately 100 

microns in length, produced split diffraction spots and was subsequently dicounted 

as being twinned. A second crystal, approximately 30 microns in length, displayed 

no twinning and was retained for data collection. Preliminary data collection on 

the larger crystal indicated a hexagonal unit cell: a=4.97, c=6.48 . Data collection 

and further analysis of the smaller crystal revealed the presence of a supercell of 

dimensions: a=9.945, c=12.965 . Structure solution and refinement are in progress. 

I The Electron Density Distribution of Mo03(dipic)(HMPA) at 28 K I X3A1 I

D. Young, and A. J. Schultz (Argonne National Laboratory - IPNS) 

The field of catalytic oxidation chemistry is of interest both in basic science and 

from a technilogical point of view. A large number of studies have been devoted to unravelling the mechanisms of various key reactions [l]. In the process 

of developing fast experimental techniques to determine accurate electron density 

distributions (EDDs) at very low temperatures using high energy synchrotron radiation, we decided to study catalytic oxidation from a new point of view, namely 

through analysis of the EDDs of key molybdenum catalysts. We have measured 

exten- sive 28(l) K Bragg diffraction IP data on MoOS(dipic)(HMPA) , 1, and 

on Mo05(H20)(HMPA), 2. Even though the complexes are structurally similar 

their cata- lytic behaviour is very different. Unfortunately 2 behaves poorly upon 

cooling to the low temperatures necessary for obtaining accurate diffraction data 

and at present we have not been able to extract structure factors of sufficient quality 

for EDD analysis. We can therefore only report results for complex 1, see figure 1. 

To support the analysis of the X-ray data, time-of-flight neutron diffraction data 

were collected on 1 at the Intense Pulsed neutron Source at matching temperatures (28K). In Figure 2 experimental details of the synchrotron measurements are 

shown. To model the electron density full multipole expansions were used to fourth 

order on Mo and P, to third order on 0 and N, and to second order on H. Hydrogen 

positional and thermal parameters were fixed at values obtained from the neutron 

data. In Figure 2 preliminary refinement residuals are given.

I Single Crystal X-Ray Analysis of a Novel Perovskite CarvInTiaOs I X3A1 I 

J.-H. Park, C. L. Cahill, and J.B. Parise (CHiPR and SUNY at Stony Brook) 

In the investigation of the CaTi03-hJnTi03 system, a new Cah/InTizOs perovskite compound isomorphous to CaFeTizO6 was synthesized using a stoichiometric mixture of the CaTiO3-perovskite and hInTi03-pyrophanite phase(JCPDS29- 

902). Polycrystalline and single crystal (lOx10x20pm) CahhTizO6 perovskite com- pound was prepared via high pressure-high temperature experiments under 14.5-15 

GPa and 1200°C. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data of a single crystal were collected using the imaging plate system at the X3A beamline. A super-cell of dimensions a. b=7.5339(5) and c=7.6027(6) A was found. The resulting data is being 

analyzed in cor1jur;ction with previously collected powder diffraction data.

The importance of correcting reflection intensities recorded on imaging plates for incomplete absorption in the phosphor layer * 

J. Zaleski, G. Wu, L. Ribaud and P. Coppens (SUNYQBuff) 

When an X-ray beam is incompletely absorbed in the phosphor layer of an imaging plate (IP), a correction for oblique incidence of the beam on the plate becomes 

essential. Relative to the reflections recorded at normal incidence, it is equal to 

K = (1-exp(-pd/cosa))/( 1-exp(-pd)) = (1-exp(lnTl)/cosa))/(l-TI) (1) 

with I,,,, = I,b,/K, and TI equal to the transmission of the phosphor layer at 

the normal incidence. For short wavelengths (<=1), the omission of the correction 

will lead to significant bias in the results, or even a failure of the refinement in the case of very short wavelengths. The correction for oblique incidence is a function of 

the crystal-to-plate distance, and must therefore be considered separately for each 

set of conditions. It is likely that a similar correction applies to CCD data. For a 

flat IP, mounted perpendicular to the incident beam, the correction increases with 

the 20 angle of the reflections, but for other orientations of the IP the dependence 

is more complex. The correction has been tested as illustrated in the figure.

X3A2 Synchrotron Small-angle X-ray Scattering Studies on Crystallization 

and Structure of Associated Polymer Blends 

K. Inomata, L.-Z. Liu, B. Chu (SUNY at Stony Brook), and T. Nose (Tokyo 

Institute of Technology) 

Isothermal crystallization of associated polymer blends, consisting of one-endaminated polystyrene (APS, MW=5.6x lo3) and one-end-sulfonated poly(ethy1ene 

glycol) (SPEG, MW=5.7x lo3), has been investigated by means of time-resolved 

synchrotron small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). 

When APS/SPEG blend weight fraction of 50/50 percent) prepared by using 

the freeze-dry method ( APSJSPEG-FD) was quenched from a temperature higher 

than the melting point of SPEG to the crystallization temperature, the SAXS peak 

intensity (I,,%) increased with time after quenching, while the peak position (q*) 

remained at a constant value as shown in Figure 1. The time dependence of I,,, 

and q* can be explained by the crystallization of SPEG chains in the confined 

microphase-separated lamellar domain between the glassy PS layer, which is due to 

the formation of a diblock-copolymer-like structure based on the strong association 

between the terminal amino group of APS and the terminal sulfonic acid group of 

SPEG. 

On the other hand, the sample prepared by using the solvent-cast method 

(APS/SPEG-SC) showed a unique time dependence of I,,, and q' as shown in 

Figure 2, i.e., I,, increased with time and revealed a maximum before reaching a constant value, and q* decreased rapidly at the beginning of the crystallization 

process. Such a change of SAXS profile with time can be explained by assuming 

a macrophase separation of an APS-rich phase and a SPEG-rich phase, and a formation of dispersed APS microdomains in the SPEG-rich phase. Crystallization of 

SPEG chains would occur in the matrix phase in the SPEG-rich phase.

Crystalline Structure and Morphology of Microphases in Compatible 

Mixtures of Tetrahydrofuran-Methyl Methacrylate Diblock Copoly- X3A2 

mer and Polytetrahydrofuran 

L.-Z. Liu and B. Chu (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The crystalline structure and morphology of compatible mixtures of 

tetrahydrofuran-methyl methacrylate diblock copolymers (PTHF-b-PMMA) with 

a tetrahydrofuran homopolymer (PTHF) were studied with synchrotron X-rays. 

Wide angle diffraction was used to study the crystalline structures in a confined 

lamellar region with a thickness ranging from 12.2 to 19.5 nm, and in a PTHF 

matrix with an interface distance between the PMMA cylinders ranging from17 to 

22 nm. As the thickness of the PTHF lamella and the interface are comparable 

with the long period of PTHF homopolymer ca 17 nm under the crystallization 

condition used, the crystalline structure has been found to be very sensitive to the 

average thickness of the PTHF phase. In the case of hexagonally packed cylindrical 

PMMA microdomains, evidenced by the scattering features shown in Figure 1, the 

effects of PMMA cylinders on the crystallization morphology in the PTHF matrix, 

and the effects of the PTHF crystallization on the hexagonally packed structure of 

PMMA cylinders were also studied. It is shown that only when the interdistance of 

two neighboring PMMA cylinders is close or larger than the long period of the pure 

PTHF homopolymer, ordered PTHF stacks can be formed in the PTHF matrix as 

shown by a scattering peak at q 0.4 nm-1 in Figure 2.

Poly( oxybutylene)-poly( oxyethy1ene)-poly( oxybutylene) (BEB) triblock copoly- mers are widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It is well known 

that such kind of block copolymers can form micellar structures in mater because 

of the difference in the solubility of the hydrophobic B block and the hydrophilic 

E block. Compared with the large amount of studies on their micellization behaviors. the study at high polymer concentrations (< 10 wt%) is less reported and so 

far no phase diagram of these systems lias been published. IVe used small-angle 

X-ray scattering technique (SAXS) at the X3A2 beamline of NSLS to study the 

gelation structures of two triblock copolymers (BsEgl Bs arid BEE-teBG). Before the 

gelation concentration, the scattering peak can be found at high polymer concentrations (50 wt% at rooni temperature). The relavent q value when the SAXS peaks 

occiied showed a concentration dependence (q value increased with increasing polymer concentration) but no temperature dependence for both polymers, as shown 

in Figure 1. The gel regions were extremely small when compared with those of 

EPE (oxvethylene-oxypropylene-oxyethvleIie) triblock copolymers. For BGE.teB6. 

this region was so small that we could locate it only at low temperatures (> 6 C) 

and very high polymer concentrations (< 90 wt%). probably clue to the very short 

E block. SAXS study suggested that both form a fcc (face-centered cubic) packing 

structure, as shown in Figure 2.

the distortion, and thus the valence trapping. to increase on cooling. At 50K the 

three Fe-0 bond lengths are 1.983. 1.906 and 1.838A for Fe(l), Fe(2) and Fe(3) 

respectively. Site-specific determination of the absorption edge of the three atoms. 

using resonance diffraction. shows successive differences of about 1-2 e\' between 

the edges, in agreement with the valence-trapped nature of the complex. This is the 

first time that three different valencies in a single complex have been distinguished 

bv resonance scattering.

Institut fur Colloid & Interfaces) Bayreuth) and P. W. Stephens (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to investigate the nanostructure formation by the interaction of slightly crosslinked negatively charged 

gels of poly(methacry1ate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) (MAAINIPAM) with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB). Three typical polyelectrolytesurfactant complex (PSC) structures with Pm3n cubic, face-center cubic (FCC), 

and hexagonal closely packing (HCP) were observed when the charge content in 

MAA/NIPAM copolymer gel was decreased, namely, Pm3n cubic was formed with 

gel charge content over 75%, FCC was formed with a charge content of 67%, and 

HCP was formed at a charge content of 50%. The unit-cell models for the three 

structures have been suggested. Figure 1 shows a typical Pm3n cubic PSC structure, 

consisting of spheres at BCC positions and a continuous network, both imbedded 

in a matrix. Figure 2 shows the three simulation scattering curves from the three 

different models, which almost matched the experimental scattering curves. The 

spherical microdomains in various of structures might be formed by the aggregates of 

C16TAB surfactant, which could be stabilized by the electrostatic and hydrophobic 

interactions between the surfactants and the gel network chains. With decreasing 

charge content in the polymer chains, the packing of microdomains became more compact. By decreasing the charge content of the gel to below 33%, no ordered 

structure was observed due to the weaker electrostatic interactions. 

The hitherto unknown compound Rb6PbsC116 was synthesized by melting a stoichiometric mixture of RbCl and PbClz at 700°C and annealing for several weeks 

at 200°C. The metrics could be determined from a powder pattern, taken at a laboratory diffractometer, but the structure could only be solved by using synchrotron 

radiation. 

The compound Rb6Pb5 C116 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/mbm 

with lattice constants a=1171.41(4)pm and c=1103.11(6)pm. A Le-Bail fit enabled 

to extract about 400 integrated intensities from the powder pattern, which could 

be used for ab initio determination of the structure. This new type of structure [l] 

shows a large variety of different coordination polyhedra for the cations: columns 

of tetragonal prisms and antiprisms, capped trigonal prisms and a 6+2+2 polyhedron of a new type. Because the occupation factors could not be determined 

unambigously, two additional measurements near the Pb-L3-edge were performed 

using anomal dispersion. A statistically distribution of Rb and Pb at only one of 

the cation sites with a ratio of 1:3 was found. There is no evidence for symmetry 

reduction by ordering. 6’’ H. P. Beck, M. Schramm, R. Haberkorn, R. E. Dinnebier and P. W. Stephens,

m I Anisotropic Strain of K~C~O at Low Temperatures * 

G.hI. Bendele and P.W. Stephens (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The quadrivalent alkali fulleride salts A4C60 (where A=K,Rb) are non-magnetic 

insulators with tetragonal crystal structure. \Ve have recently determined that they 

show no appreciable deviation from exact z=4 stoichiometry [l]. We have performed 

a low-temperature x-ray powder diffraction study on both K.IC60 and Rb4C60. 

The thermal expansion coefficients of the lattices of both compounds are 

of comparable magnitudes along and perpendicular to the unique axis (-1.2- 

2.5xlO-<'A/K). Both compounds show an increase in the FWHLI of Bragg peaks 

with decreasing temperature and develop an anisotropy, i.e., (001) peaks along the 

unique c axis are broader than (hkO) peaks perpendicular to c, indicating anisotropic 

strain in the lattice that increases as T is lowered. This effect is much stronger in 

K,iCr;o than in Rb.iC60. as Fig. 1 illustrates. 

Given the recent discovery of a two-dimensional cross-linked polymer phase of 

Na,&CGo [a] we suspect that this anisotropy is evidence of the onset of a phase 

transition into a similar polymeric phase, possibly at elevated pressure. For steric 

reasons, we expect snch polymerization to become hardrr with increasing cation 

size, consistent with the fact that the Na,rCGo polymer is stable, K.&Ct;o shows a large degree of anisotropic strain broadening, and Rb.1 CGO exhibits ahlost none.

Determining the Orientation of Fullerenes in the Lattice 

GAL Bendele, P.W. Stephens (SUNY at Stony Brook)? and L. Forro (EPF: Lausanne) 

Na2Kc60 is a cubic alkali fulleride at room temperature and above. but x-ray 

powder diffraction measurements show that it undergoes a slow phase transition into 

a symmetry-lowered ground state upon slow cooling. To determine the occurrence and geometry of interfullerene bonding it is crucial to obtain the orientation of the 

fullerene nioleciiles in the lattice. 

After obtaining the monoclinic lattice parameters of the ground state (space 

group P21/a, a = 13.714 A, b = 14.627 A&, c = 9.380 A, 0 = 133.91') we have. 

without making any a-priori assumptions, performed a three-dimensional search 

over all possible orientations of the CEO molecule. \Ve can specify that orientation 

using just three parameters, which are defined analogous to Enler angles: 6 and 8 

specify a point of contact along the shortened c axis and zi! specifies a rotation ahout 

c. In searching all (S,O,Zlt) we find only one convincing niininiiini in the weightetlprofile R-factor a single carbon atom located on the c axis. with a rotation 

angle aboiit c of w = 77". To illustrate this, Fig. 1 shows Rll.,, vs. $ for several

P21/a, with lattice parameters a=13.711& b=14.554& c=9.373A, ,8=133.53" (at 

T=180K). In this cell, we find that the fullerenes are connected along c by single 

carbon-carbon bonds [2], in contrast to the ground state of the otherwise similar 

Rbc60 system [3], in which the fullerenes are linked with two bonds via [2+2] 

cycloaddition. See Figures 1 and 2 for an illustration of the differences. 

The question why NazRbCso links fullerene molecules with a single bond, while 

the latter does so with two carbon-carbon bonds is very important. After excluding 

possible steric and kinetic reasons for this difference in bonding geometry we conclude that it is the charge state of the fullerene that plays a decisive role, causing 

(C&)n to favor cycloaddition and (C&)n to favor single carbon-cabon bonds. 

Details on both the data analysis and our conclusions with respect to the charge 

state can be found in [a] or in G.M. Bendele et al., in Proceedings of the IWEPNM

The crystal structure of the organometallic compound fluorenylsodium 

(NaC13Hg) has been solved ab initio. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P 63/m (No. 176) with a = 9.2828(1), c = 19.1613(2), V = 

1429.93(2)& and d = 1.197 g cmP3. Data collection was carried out at room temperature using a wavelength of 1.14966 Afrom double Si(ll1) monochromator and 

Ge (111) analyzer. The 20 range used for the Rietveld refinement was 5.0 < 20 < 

50.0'. All positions of the carbon and sodium atoms were found by a combination 

of direct methods, partial Rietveld refinements and difference Fourier analysis. The 

indenyl ring was refined as a rigid body and the hydrogen atoms were calculated 

in idealized positions. The actual Rietveld plot yields to R-wp= 5.6%, R-p= 4.3% 

and R-F2=8.2%. Figure 1 shows part of the coordination spheres around the two

Study the Phase Diagrams of L64/water/CdC12 Complex Systems 

by SAXS 

T. Liu, C. SVu, D. Liang and B. Chu (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The design of new inorganic materials with special structures has become an important area in materials science. Triblock copolymer micelles can be used as 

a kind of potential templates for synthesizing inorganic compounds with special 

nanostructures. To find out proper synthesis conditions, the phase diagrams of 

polymer/water systems in the presence of specific inorganic salts have been investigated. L64 (poly(oxyethylene)13-poly(oxypropylene)30-poly oxyethylene)13) is a 

widely used commercial triblock copolymer arid the phase diagram of L64/water 

system has bccn carefully characterized. In this study, wc fourid that in the pres- ence of CdClz, a water-soluble salt, the phase diagram of L64/water changed greatly. 

Cloud-point temperatures and gelation concentrations went down when compared 

with the pure L64/water system. Also, a two-phase region (thick gel) appeared 

at high salt concentrations, as shown in Figure 1. Small-angle X-ray scattering

X3B1 Formation of Clay h4inerals Replacing Diatom Cells in Amazon Delta 

Sediments 

P. Michalopoulos, R. C. Aller: P.W. Stephens (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

We investigated the potential growth of clay minerals in association with diatom 

cells found in Amazon delta sediments using x-ray powder diffraction. Processes 

that lead to the in situ formation of clay minerals in marine sediments are important 

for global geochemical cycles and the composition of seawater Sample preparation 

involves separation of individual diatom cells from the sediments. grounding of less 

than two hundred cells and mounting on a Si (1.0.0) wafer X-ray powder diffraction patterns from these samples (Fig. 1 show the presence of characteristic clay 

mineral peaks together with pyrite (FeS2 1 and gypsum. Pyrite originates from the 

decomposition of the diatom organic matter through sulfate reduction. Figure 1 

shows the i.17 peak, typical of clay minerals such as kaolinite (Si.IAlSIOLO(OH)8). 

These results indicate that the biogenic silica has acted as a substrate for the formation of new clay minerals. These concliisions have been corroborated with other 

techniques such as SEhI. TELI and electron microprobe studies which show that the new clay niinerals are replacing the siliceous frnstiile of diatoms through tlissolutionprecipitation reactions. The ~icwly formed 7.17 phase is one of several authigenic 

mineral phases that form on these substrates. Some phases remain iintletectetl tluring the X-ray analysis clue to poor crystallinity and/or very small crystallite size.

D. E. Peplow and K. Verghese (NC State University) 

A team of physicists, engineers and doctors from NC State University, UNC, 

NSLS and IIT is currently investigating the use of monochromatic synchrotron ra- diation for mammography to obtain to an image with less scatter and higher contrast 

than conventional mammograms. In support of these experimental studies, Monte 

Carlo calculations are being performed to evaluate the new system and investigate 

its potential performance. 

Most Monte Carlo calculations use the free-gas model for determining the coherent scatter angular distributions, which does not include intramolecular or intermolecular interferences. For amorphous materials, this approximation does not 

hold at low values of z (z = sin g). The coherent scattering form factors of these 

materials show broad peaks and must be measured. 

The form factors of five tissues and two plastics materials (relevant to mammography phantoms) were derived from scattering measurements made on the powder 

diffraction line X3B1 with the assistance of Dr. P. W. Stephens. Due to the difficulties of using human tissues, fresh beef and pork samples were substituted. Shown 

in Figure 1 is the coherent scattering form factor of water measured at the NSLS 

with a measurement made by Narten (Report ORNL-4578, 1970) using an X-ray 

tube spectrum. Figure 2 shows the measured form factor of pork fat with its freegas approximation. The form factors are being incorporated into the Monte Carlo 

model to simulate images from the new digital mammography current digital mammography machines and the new synchrotron-based system

In Situ Diffuse Scattering Studies of Ag(ll1) During Low Temperature Homoepitaxy * 

W.C. Elliott. P.F. hIiceli (U. of hIissouri-Columbia), and P.11'. Stephens (SUNY 

at Stony Brook) 

The morphology of a surface during epitaxial growth is determined by the kinetic 

mechanisms which affect the incorporation of deposited atoms into the crystal sub 

strate. We have studied the lateral structure of a kinetically roughened Xg( 111) 

surface during homoepitaxy at 200K to further understand the effect of a large 

stegedge barrier to surface diffusion upon the resulting surface morphology. 

AIeasnrement of surface diffuse x-ray scattering in reflectivity geometry is a means 

of obtaining this lateral structure: scans transverse to the specular reflectivity near the out-of-phase position provide excellent sensitivity to the developing lateral strncture. As the surface roughens during deposition, the central specular peak tliminishes while diffuse scattering appears and broadens with increasing coverage(a). 

This diffuse scattering is a measure of the mean terrace length on the surface 

and can be described by a power-law over two tlecades in coverage(b). Near 16hIL, 

a second diffiise peak appears which narrows with increasing coverage. This new 

peak is attributed to the separation between tleveloping mounds which coarsen with 

increasing coverage.

~25, I In situ Surface X-ray Diffraction Study on RuOz (100) Single Crystal I X6B I 

X4A Y. Chu, J. Tanzer, H. You, and Z. Nagy (ANL) 

Ruthenium dioxide has been known to exhibit unusually large pseudocapacitance, and it is appealing candidate material for temporary energy storage 

device for advance battery applications. This ultra capacitance has been attributed 

to the change of the oxidation state of the Ru atoms at the electrochemical interface, yet the structural change due to the valency shifting has not been understood 

well. 

In situ surface x-ray diffraction experiment was performed on as-grown 

RuOz(100)single crystal samples. The cyclic voltammetry of the sample is shown 

in Fig. la. The cathodic peak just before the hydrogen evolution is due to the 

reduction of Ru atoms from valence 4+ to 3+, and the anodic peak is due to the 

reverse reaction. The charge transfer obtained from CV indicates the redox reaction 

is limited to about a single monolayer. Fig. 1b shows that the intensity at (1.5, 0, 

0) undergoes a significant change at the same potential where the reduction occurs, 

suggesting some modification of the surface structure due to the reduction. The 

reflectivity data shown in Fig 1.c reveal that the reduced surface at -200 mV has a 

very different surface structure from the oxidized surface at 460 mV (open circuit 

potential). 

Preliminary fitting analysis indicates that the top Ru layer spacing is significantly 

expanded when reduced, while slightly contracted when oxidized. The expansion 

of the surface layer spacing may be due incorporation of protons into the lattice to 

accommodate the shift in the oxidation state of Ru atoms.

A new levitation apparatus coupled to an synchrotron-derived x-ray source has

levitation apparatus employs conical nozzle levitation using aerodynamic forces to 

stably position solid and liquid specimens at high temperatures. A 270 t’att, COz

and record specimen views in all three diniensions. The levitation assembly was supported 011 a three-axis translation stage to facilitate precise positioning of the

Epitaxial permalloy thin films were prepared on the sapphire substrates (1-100) 

via hlo seeding layer. The structure of the epitaxial permalloy film is stronly related 

with the thickness of the h’Io buffer layer. In details, the permalloy is dominated 

in (111) in the plane-normal direction when the hlo layer is thinner than 2A. The 

preferred orientation is switched to (220) when the hIo buffer layer is from 2A 

to 20A. The permoally thin films are orinetated in (211) directions after 20A of 

hIo laver is deposited. For the in-plane direction. all the permollay(0-22) surfaces 

are locked in the &Io(-1ll)direction or sapphire(0001) directions. For all the good 

expitaxial films, the permalloy are in a twin fcc structures with a stacking fault 

along the permalloy(-1ll)or permalloy( 1-1-1) direction and the domain size is 2011 

to 40A depending on the thickness of hIo laver. Thc coexistence of pernialloy(220) 

together with permalloy(211) from 211 to 20A can be interpreted by the dropletlike hlo thin film on the surface of sapphire. Thc edge surface of the hIo droplets 

stablize the permalloy(220) structure on thc siirfacc of sapphire. After 20h of hIo

X6B In Situ Study of the Growth of OTS Self-Assembled Monolayers on 

Silicon 

A.G. Richter, M.K. Durbin, C-J. Yu, and P. Dutta (Northwestern U.) 

Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) have been extensively studied using many 

techniques, including X-ray reflectivity and diffraction. Although much is known 

about the few systems that self-assemble, very little is known about the process of 

deposition and film formation. Several studies have been made of SAMs of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), and these have given us some insight into this problem, but 

they have been performed ez situ. Recently we have performed in situ experiments 

on the formation of OTS SAMs using X-ray reflectivity. 

X-ray reflectivity requires contrast in the electron density profile, but the densities 

of most organic materials fall within a narrow range. We used heptane, which 

has a low density (w 0.33 times the density of silicon) as our solvent. Typical 

monolayer densities are 0.4-0.5 times silicon density. Since the contrast is still low, 

the reflectivity minima are not as pronounced as for ex situ systems, but the minima 

are obvious. A solution concentration of 0.0001% was used. Film growth occurred 

too rapidly at higher concentrations to allow us to study the early stages of growth. 

We have found that the film formation has at least three different modes of 

growth. During the first stage, the film-solution interface is rough and the film 

thickness is low. This is probably due to the molecules having a range of tilts, 

most of them large. The second stage of growth begins after about 5 hours at 

this concentration. During this stage, the film thickness is roughly constant and 

is about that of a fully extended molecule (2.3nm). However, the modeled density 

profiles suggest that the film is still loosely packed and that some of the molecules 

are tilted. Over time, the film becomes denser and more uniform. This most likely occurs because more molecules are deposited, increasing the density and forcing the 

surrounding molecules to stand up. This stage lasts for about 5 hours, after which 

the molecules are all mostly untilted. In the last stage, the film changes minimally; 

only the film-solvent interface becomes slightly sharper.

Strong Negative Thermal Expansion in Siliceous Faujasite * 

M. P. Attfield and A. W. Sleight (Oregon State U.) 

I X7A 

Negative thermal expansion has received a lot of interest recently, with the discovery of strong isotropic negative thermal expansion in ZrWaOs (1) over a broad 

temperature range. An apparent requirement for an oxide material to have strong 

intrinsic negative thermal expansion is that it has an open framework structure 

with two coordinate oxygen atoms. Zeolites are a group of compounds whose structures fulfill the aforementioned requirements. Indeed, computer simulations have 

predicted that some zeolites should exhibit negative thermal expansion (2). The 

thermal expansion of siliceous faujasite was investigated,thus avoiding the complications associated with the extra-framework cations and greatly reducing the water 

content of the zeolite. 

Synchrotron data were collected on a dehydrated sample of zero defect dealuminated Y (ZDDAY) at seven temperatures between 25.16 and 297.95 K to determine 

the unit cell constant and structure as a function of temperature. X-ray data above 

298 K were collected on a laboratory INEL XRG 3000 diffractometer. 

An approximately linear decrease in cell dimension is seen over the entire temperature range (Figure 1)with an overall coefficient of thermal expansion of -4.2 x 

lop6 Kpl . The results from the Rietveld refinements indicate that the bridging 

Si-0-Si angles display no significant changes over the temperature range analysed 

and that the constituent Si04 tetrahedra of the structure may be considered as 

rigid tetrahedra over this whole range. These results lead us to believe that the 

negative thermal expansion of this material is related to the harmonic transverse 

vibrations of the 2-coordinate bridging oxygen atoms within the structure. These 

vibrations lead to coupled rotations of the essentially rigid tetrahedra making up 

the structure of the zeolite. The increased magnitude of these transverse vibrations 

with temperature results in a decrease in the average Si-Si non-bonding distance 

and the negative thermal expansion

The structural properties of Pro.7C~.3hh03 mere studied by x-ray synchrotron 

and neutron powder diffraction as a function of temperature (15 5 T 5 300 K), and as a function of x-ray fluence at 15 and 20 K. The temperature evolution of the lattice parameters and of the superlattice reflections is consistent with the development 

of charge and orbital ordering below TCO - 180 K, followed by antiferromagnetic 

ordering below T!v N 140 K. Below TC - 120 K. the magnetic structure develops 

a ferromagnetic component along the a ais on the hIn ions. The observation in 

Pro.7Cao.3hIn03 of significant lattice strain below TCO, as well as the development 

of a ferromagnetic component to tlie magnetic structure at Tc, can be interpetetl 

in terms of the presence of ferromagnetic clusters with an associated lattice distortion from the average structure. At low temperatures, exposure to the x-ray beam 

produces a phase segregation phenomenon, whereby the ferromagnetic droplets coalesce into larger aggregates. Further exposure results in a gradual melting of the 

charge-ordered phase and the formation of the ferromagnetic metallic phase recently 

reported by Kiryukhin et nl. (Nature 386, 813 (1997)). The ferroniagnetic phase 

has a significantly srrialler n lattice parameter antl unit cell volume (AV/V N 0.4%)

High Pressure and Low Temperature Study of the LTO to LTT Phase 

Transition in La(l.475)Nd(o.4)Sr(o.~~~)C~i0 

hI. Crawford, R. Harlow, E. hpIcCarron (DuPont), S. Tozer (Florida State U.); and 

D. Cox (BNL) 

We have continued our high-pressure. low-temperature x-ray diffraction studies 

of the LTO (Bmnb) to LTT (P42/ncm) structural transition in doped lanthanum 

cuprates. La[l.,175) Sr(o.lz5) Cu0'~ undergoes this structural transformation at 

a temperature of 80 K at ambient pressure, similar to the transition observed in 

La[l.R75) Ba(o.la5) CuO.1. Results from our previous study of the latter material had 

shown that a Pccri phase, intermediate to the LTO and LTT phases, was initially 

stabilized by pressure. The LTO to Pccn transition temperature was observed to 

decrease slowly with increasing pressure at pressures below 15 kbar, but at pressures greater than 30 kbar only the HTT phase exists from room temperature to 

10 K. At pressures near 20 kbar the Pccri phase vanishes antl only the HTT phase 

remains, but the small orthorhonibicity in this pressure range precludes precise 

structural determinations. The suppression of the structural phase transitions uncorrelates with previous reports that the Tc of this material 

ire, but only as high as 15 K at pressures of 20 - 25 kbar, 

where our striictural data are consistent with the material still having Pccn symmetry. Since even the ambient pressure orthorhombicity of La(l.x7a) Bit(0.1a5) CuO'i 

is relatively small (making these subtle structural transitions very difficult to follow), we tlecitlcd to perform the same experiment using a compound with similar Tc 

characteristics, but with an orthorhornbicity twice that of tlie Ba-doped matcrial: 

La(l..,7:) Ntl(o..l) Sr(o,laa) CiiOzl. This study was performed using a hIcrrill-Bnssctt 

tliarriontl anvil cell with a 4:I methanol to ethanol pressure uietliuni. The cell was 

pressurized to 16 kbar antl the stiitly was carried out using a focused monochromatic 

(0.6967) heam arid a positiori- sensitive detector. Contrary to the results found for 

the Ba-doped sample. the LTO - LTT transition temperature of the Ntl/Sr-tloped 

material was found to increase with pressure. This result is consistent with tlie ob 

servat ion that the two materials have ambient pressure thermal expansion anomalies 

of opposite sign at the LTO - LTT transition. It would be interesting to develop a 

Landau theory for the the temperatiire/pressiire phase tliagranis of these materials 

to qualitatively account for this difference in prrssure tlepentlence. Supercontluctirig 

Tc nirasurernents for the Ntl/Sr-tlopetl phase under pressure are now untlerivay.

Energy-dispersive Surface X-ray Scattering Study of Thin Ceria Overlayer on Zirconia * 

W. Dmowski (U. of Pennsylvania) 

We have studied the structure of ultra-thin CeOz overlayer on single crystals of 

Y stabilized cubic zirconia (ZrOz) by energy dispersive surface x-ray scattering [l]. 

Three different crystallographic surfaces, (OOl), (011) and (lll), were examined. In 

addition, we performed in-situ temperature study of a sample with (001) surface. 

We showed that on (001) oriented samples [1,2] CeOz formed an epitaxial thin film. 

The results obtained for the (011) and (111) oriented crystals are qualitatively the 

same. Fig. 1 shows two dimensional plot of the scattering intensity in the Q5-QZ 

plane. Qy is offset by 0.05 A-' to avoid a strong Bragg peak and Qz is almost 

parallel to the [-1101 direction. The edge like feature at Q,=3.4 k1 is a truncation 

rod of a zirconia (-220) reflection. The broad pattern centered at Q,=3.3 A-l and 

extending well in Qz corresponds to the (-220) reflection from the ceria overlayer. 

Depth profiling of Y and Zr fluorescence lines shows depletion of yttrium starting at 

depth 230 A and then surface enrichment. We have studied the surface diffraction 

from the (001) sample with deposited cerium metal, in-situ] in the temperature 

range 100-800°C. At the temperature of 420°C we start to see weak diffraction 

from the (400) ceria peak at Qz=4.6k1 which corresponds well to the ceria lattice 

constant. The lateral coherence length of the ceria film is only about 20 A at this 

temperature. At 620°C the lateral coherence length is increased to 46 A. Finally

X-Ray Diffraction of CMR Sample Lal.4Srl.GMn207 I X7A I 

W. Dmowski and T. Egami (U. of Pennsylvania) 

We have examined powder diffraction of Lal.4Srl.GMnz07 samples. First sam- ple was prepared using "powder" processing while the second one was grown as a single crystal and later crushed to make fine powder. These samples have been 

examined by neutron diffraction and showed different temperature dependence of 

lattice parameters. It was observed that metal-insulator transition temperature and 

charge doping levels were different. This suggested inhomogeneous distribution of 

Sr atoms such as preferential occupancy of La in (0,0,1/2) position. Since neutron 

scattering lengths for most elements are very similar we used x-ray diffraction to 

enhance scattering information from heavy elements. Experiment was done below 

the absorption edge of strontium in reflection geometry. Intensity was corrected for 

background and volume changes. We focused on low Q data since they are most 

sensitive to ordering. The results from GSAS refinement show that for "powder" 

sample minimum of R-factor is achieved for 0.6 occupancy of La in (0,0,1/2) site 

(complete disorder corresponds to 0.467). The refinement for "crystal" sample is 

more complex. The R-factor stays above 28% due to systematic deviations in intensities for (OOL) reflection. This is illustrated in the Figure 1. This suggests that 

"crystal" sample is affected by stacking faults like intergrowths in this layered structure. The intergrowths are likely to localize charge reducing overall doping level. 

Due to poor R-factor, refinement is not sensitive to La ordering showing similar 

R-factors between 0.45 and 0.7 of La occupancy in (0,0,1/2) site.

I High Pressure Powder Diffraction Studies of Zeolite Na-A I x7~ I 

X17B1 The Crystal Structure of Bi4Au2014: The Use of a Siemens CCD 

Detector with Short-Wavelength Radiation J. A. Hriljac, I. Gameson and P. P. Edwards (U. Birmingham, UK) 

h4icroporous solids, such as the aluminosilicate zeolites, are characterized by a 

large and regular pore system of molecular dimensions. They are used widely in 

several industrial applications including catalysis, ion-exchange, and gas separations. Surprisingly, their structural properties as a function of pressure appear to 

be mostly unexplored. The only literature reports are for silica sodalite to 1.28 GPa 

[1], ZShI-5 to 4.0 GPa [2], and scolecite (calcium natrolite) to 10 GPa. 

In this work, the high pressure powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the sodium 

form of zeolite-A were examined. The sample was loaded in a diamond anvil cell 

with a small amount of NaCl and a ruby chip, and then a 4:l methanol/ethanol solution acltled as a pressure transmitting medium. Pressures were measured using the 

ruby fluorescence technique. The beam line was configured with a sagitally focussing 

bent silicon (220) monochromator arid a PSD. The wavelength was 0.6969(1) .ias 

determined via calibration against a silicon standard. Diffraction data mere measure from ca. ambient pressure to 7.85 GPa. 

A typical diffraction pattern is shown in Figure 1. Accurate peak positions were 

determined by the least-sqnares fitting of individiial lines, and the values of the cubic 

lattice parameter were then tleterrnirietl by least-sqnares fitting of these values. A 

graph of the refined lattice parameter vs. pressure is shown in Figiirr, 2. From these 

data a value for the bulk rriotlulus of 57.5(26) GPa tias been tleterminetl. Further 

details of the striictnral changes are tlifficnlt to determine from ttie lirriitetl quality 

data obtained, hiit these will be further investigated in fiitiire studies.

High-resolution powder data were collected from polycrystalline samples of 

Lal-,Sr,MnO3 (x = 0.12 and 0.17) obtained by carefully crushing small single 

crystals grown by the floating zone technique. In the case of the 0.17 sample, a 

structural transition from a rhombohedrally-distorted perovskite- like phase (R-3c 

symmetry) to an orthorhombically-distorted phase (Pnma symmetry) was observed 

below = 320 K. The transformation was about 90% complete at 285 K, but a small 

amount of residual rhombohedral phase persisted down to 210 K. Only small discontinuities were observed in the lattice parameters and unit cell volumes. 

The behavior of the 0.12 sample was extremely complex, with two coexisting 

orthorhombic phases at 300 K, one of which transformed first to a monoclinic phase 

at 295 K, and then to a triclinic phase at 140 K. 

In-situ Ion Exchange Using the Small Environmental Cell for Real 

Time Study: (SECRETS) 

Y. Lee and J.B. Parise (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

X7A 

In-situ ion exchange experiments were performed on zeolite Na-Y(SRM2850) and 

clinoptilolite at the X7A beamline using the Small Environmental Cell for REal 

Time Study(SECRETS). A powdered sample of each material was placed in a 

0.7mm capillary while exchange solutions flowed through the SECRETS apparatus. Data were taken by scanning a PSD with a 3" window in steps of 3" and 

counting times of 20 sec per step. Treatment of zeolite Na-Y with 0.1M solution of 

CsN03 showed changes in the relative intensities in the subsequent diffraction patterns which are indicative that ion exchange has occurred and no change was noted 

after 30 minutes. Similar experiments were undertaken with clinoptilolite powder 

and Sr(N03)~ exchange solution. Detailed study of changes in relative intensities 

and cell parameters as a function of exchange level will reveal the kinetics of ion 

exchange for a particular exchange system. These studies are ongoing.

Location of CF3 C1 in Partially-hydrated RIaximum Aluminum Na.KX type Zeolites 

Y. Lee. J.B. Parise, and P. Norby (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Rietveld analysis using synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction data collected at 

15 K at the X7A beamline reveals that CFC-13 (CFsCI; chlorotrifluoromethane) 

sorbed on Na,K-LSX binds through fluorine to sodium ions around the single 6- 

ring aperture. There are approximately 33.5 molecules of CFC-13 per unit cell, 4.2 

per supercage or close to one CFC-13 molecule around each single 6-ring window. 

Interactions between individual CFC-13 molecules and extrafrarnework Na atoms 

are typified by thc interatomic distances: 2.49(2)Afor F( 1)-Na(3), arid 2.93(4)A&for 

F(3)-Na(3). Thc Na(2) and K(2) sites, which are separated by 0.897(2l)A. are 

not simiiltaneoiisly occupied as in the case of K(1) antl Na(1) which is close to 

each other by 2.022(2G)X, and have no interaction with the CFsC1 molecules. This 

study reveals some of the structural details of the interactions of CFC-13 molecules 

with partially hydrated maximum Na.K-X zeolite. Further studies of materials 

with different loatlirig levels of the chlorofluorocarbon, as a fiinction of hydration 

level and with different exchangeable cations arc required to characterize changes 

as a fiinction of basicity of thc zeolite franieivork and Lewis acidity of the extra 

framework cation. These studies are ongoing.

3 I Low Temperature X-ray Diffraction Study of La~-,-,Sr,Nd,CuOe I X7A I 

A. R. Moodenbaugh, L. H. Lewis, D. E. Cox, and S. Soman (BNL) 

The relationship between superconducting transition temperature (T,) 

and the low temperature crystallographic phases in La2-,Ba,CuOii and 

La2-,-,Sr,NdYCu04 has been studied for almost 10 years nom. The occurrence of 

a low temperature tetragonal phase (LTT) is associated with a reduced T, near the 

x=0.12 composition. However, the relationship is still not completely understood. 

For example, in the Nd-free system La2-,SrZCuO.l the diffraction pattern exhibits 

the orthorhombic structure (LTO1) which is associated with better superconclucting properties. Yet T, is reduced near the x=0.12 composition. 

It is well established that this phase transitions (LTO1-LTT) is first order, and 

there is some temperature range ovcr which the two phases coexist. \\'e undertook a high resolution x-ray diffraction study of some of these materials to carefiilly 

monitor the development of the LTT phase as temperature is rediiccd. \Ve find 

that in samples which transform to LTT, the LTT phase may begin to form up to 

40 K above the acknowledged transformation temperature, 

At the composition Lal.8sSro.l2CuO.l we studied the 020,022 (LTO1)region as a 

function of temperature. At low temperatures a two peak fit to the data does not 

atlequately describe the diffraction. iZ broad third diffraction peak betw.cen the two 

major peaks improves the fit. This peak has a full width at half niaxirriurri aboiit 

three times that of the LTOl peak, arid represents aboiit 10% of the total diffraction 

at this angle. 

\Vhile this third peak is relatively broad compared with t,he LTOl peaks, its 

position antl breadth are consistent with typical LTT tliffract,iori pcak widths. (Thr 

broad peaks in LTT probably rcpreserit an intrinsic irihornogeneity that has been 

tlocumentcd using electron microscopy, both for ruicrostriictiiral ant1 diffract,ion 

studies.) In oiir opinion. this x-ray tlitfract,ion data suggests a partial trnrisforniatiori 

of Lai.xsSro.lzCu0.c to thc LTT phase.

High Pressure-High Temperature Synthesis of a Novel Perovskite 

J.-H. Park and J.B. Parise (CHiPR, SUNY at Stony Brook) 

In the investigation of the CaTiO3-MnTiO3 system, a new CaMnTizOG perovskite compound isomorphous with the CaFeTizOe [l] was synthesized using a stoichiometric mixture of the CaTi03-perovskite and MnTi03-pyrophanite (JCPDS29- 

902). Polycrystalline and single crystal (10x10~20 pm3) CaMnTizO6 perovskite 

compound was prepared via high pressure-high temperature experiments under 

14.5-15 GPa and 1200" C. Synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data were collected 

using PSD[2] at the X7A beamline, NSLS. From the extinction conditions the unique 

space group P4~/nmc is found with cell parameters a=7.5339(5) and c=7.6027(6) 

A. The structure was refined using CaFeTizO6[1] as a starting model (Fig. 1). There are two Mn sites, (1) the one in a tetrahedral site and (2) the other in square 

planar configuration. Mn(2) prefers sites out of the plane along the [OOl] axis.

Ab Initio Crystal Structure Solutions of Metal Phosphonatcs from 

Synchrotron Powder X-Ray Data 

D.M. Poojary, D. Grohol, F. Gingl, and A. Clearfield (Texas A&M University) 

In the September 1996 to present time span we have obtained three data sets 

at the X7A beamline of the National Synchroton Light Source. One of the data 

sets involved a drug that exists as two isomers. One is inactive and the other 

physiologically active. The initial data sets were obtained in house on our rotating anode unit and solved but the active isomer resisted complete solution. 

The problem was solved with the Synchrotron data . The active isomer has an 

open structure whereas in the inactive isomer the phenyl rings close in on the 

active site probably causing steric hinderence. We were not able to publish this 

study as the sponsor wants to maintain the information private. A second structure, Zr~P0~(0~PCH~CH~(Viologen)CH~CH~PO~)X~, was solved entirely from 

synchrotron data. It has a complex porous structure, is photoactive and behaves as 

an anion exchanger, X- being the exchangable ion [Chem. Mater. 8, 2243 (1996)l. 

The most recent data set is for U2(03PCH3)2. This compound luminesces whereas 

UOz(03PCHzCL)z does not. The quenching process and luminescence properties are under study. The structure solution is in progress. 
I Certification of Zeolite Standard Reference RIaterials I X7A I I Siting of the Structure Directing Agent in Zeolite CIT-1 I X7A I 

B.H. Toby and N. Khosrovani (NIST) 

A group of industrial and academic researchers presented a proposal to NIST 

requesting that NIST certify and release a series of zeolite reference materials. The 

result was a decision to obtain three zeolite materials from industrial sources, NaFAU (Y), Na-LTA and hIFI to be certified as SRhIs 2850, 2851 and 2852, respectively. Approximately eight additional zeolite materials will be released without 

certification as reference materials. 

Synchrotron diffraction was selected as one of the principal methods for characterizing these materials with respect to the presence of impurity phases lattice parameters and sample-tc-sample variations. Since most zeolites absorb large amounts of 

water and their water loadings change depending 011 the water partial pressure, care was taken to see that every samplc was exposed to a uniform humiclity level prior 

to sealing the sample into a capillary tube. Despite these precautions. larger than 

expected variations were seen in the obseveretl lattice constants. It is riot known 

if these variations are due to the samples being inhomogeneous or due to niirior 

changes in water loading. Further work is planned to see if this can be determined. 

B.H. Toby, N. Khosrovani (NIST) and AI. Davis (Caltech) 

The zeolite CIT-1 was chosen for study because it can be synthesized nearly 

free of stacking faults using a particular structure directing agent (template) while 

similar organic molecules produce a related zeolite, but with up to 30% stacking 

faults. Crystallography combined with molecular mechanics are being used to study 

the interaction of the template with the zeolite. Synchrotron and neutron data were collected on samples of CIT-1, as synthesized (with template present) and calcined 

(without template) using the NIST BT-1 neutron powder diffractometer and the 

NSLS X7A x-ray powder diffractometer. For the neutron work, two materials were 

used, one where the amine methyl groups were deuterated and one non-deuterated. 

hIolecular modeling demonstrated three possible ways that the template can be 

accorriotlated in the CIT- 1 pores. However. a combined Rietveltl refinement of the 

neutron arid synchrotron datasets clemonstratcd that only two of these orirntations 

actually occur. The ternplate molcmilcs pack very snugly into thc pore volume of 

the zeolite. IVe are currently investigating thc energetics of this packing. 
Direct Evidence of Charge Disproportionation in CaFeOs * 

P.M. Woodward (BNL) 

Mossbauer studies of stoichiometric CaFeO3 show the presence of a single line at 

300K which evolves into two magnetic hyperfine patterns of nearly equal intensity 

at 4K [ 11. This has been interpreted as being due to 2Fe4+ + Fe3+ + Fe5+ charge 

disproportionation. However, attempts to obtain direct crystallographic evidence of 

this charge disproportionation have not previously been successful. Observation of 

the charge disproportionation is difficult because the phase transformation involves 

only small shifts of the oxygen ions. Therefore, in an X-ray diffraction pattern 

the superstructure peaks are very weak. Neutron diffraction is more sensitive to 

the oxygen shifts, but interpretation is complicated by the presence of magnetic 

reflections. 

Powder X-ray diffraction data was collected at 300K and 15K on a sample of 

CaFe03 synthesized under high oxygen pressure. The structure was refined at 

both temperatures using the Rietveld technique. At 300K the sample has the 

GdFe03 structure, space group Pnma and lattice constants a=5.3445A, b=7.5292& 

c=5.3193& The Fe-0 distances are 4x1.919(5)A and 2xl.930(2)W. At 15K weak su- perstructure reflections (the strongest superstructure reflection (110) has an intensity of 0.03% of the strongest peak (121) in the pattern) appear which are consistent 

with a rock salt ordering of Fe3+/Fe5+. The space group is P21/n and the lattice constants are a=5.3100& b=5.3470& c=7.5185A, p=90.058". The Fe-0 bond 

distances are 2x1.872(8)& 2x1.894(9)Ai, 2x1.88(l)k for Fe(l), and 2x1.962(8)A, 

2x1.975(9)& 2x1.96(1)A for Fe(2).

I Low Temperature Phase Transitions in Nd0.&,5Mn03 * I X7A I 

P.M. Woodward, T. Vogt, D.E. Cox (BNL), C.N.R. Rao (Indian Institute of Science) and A.K. Cheetham (UCSB) 

At room temperature Nd0.5Sr0.5Mn03 is reported to be a paramagnetic insulator 

[I]. Upon cooling single crystals transform into a ferromagnetic metallic state near 250K, and then abruptly transform into an antiferromagnetic insulating state near 160K [1,3]. It is believed that the 250K transition is a consequence of double 

exchange interactions, while the 160K transition is driven by charge-ordering of 

Mn3+/Mn4+ [I]. Neutron diffraction studies have shown the low temperature phase 

to have the CE-type antiferromagnetic structure, but no refinement of the crystal 

structure at low temperature has been carried out to confirm the presence of chargeordering [3]. 

We have collected powder X-ray (beamline X7A at NSLS) and neutron (beamline 

BT1 at NIST) powder diffraction patterns on a ceramic sample of Ndo.sSro.sMn03, over the temperature range 15-300K. At room temperature the sample is single 

phase (HTO phase), space group Imma (a=5.4245& b=7.6226A, c=5.4682A) and 

Glazer tilt system a'b-b-. This structure is in good agreement with earlier results PI. A s the sample is cooled a second phase appears between 225K and 200K 

LTOl phase), and a third phase near 150K (LT02 phase). The LTOl phase shows 

a contraction in b and an expansion in both a and c (a=5.4413& b=7.5262& 

c=5.4946& at 160K), with respect to the room temperature structure. This is 

thought to be a result of "orbital ordering" of the filled Mn 3d,z orbitals. The 

LT02 phase has unit cell constants very similar to the LTOl phase, but several 

superstructure reflections are present which can only be indexed by doubling the a 

axis (a=10.8776& b=7.5134& c=5.5069& at 15K). Combined Rietveld refinements 

of both the X-ray and neutron patterns (using breathing rigid body constraints) at 

15K give Mn-0 bond distances in the LT02 phase (space group P2,/m) which 

directly show Mn3+/Mn4+ charge-ordering. Refinements of the neutron data show 

that the HTO phase is ferromagnetic below 250K, the LTOl phase has an A-type 

antiferromagnetic structure, and the LT02 phase has a CE-type antiferromagnetic 

structure. There is no indication of charge-ordering in the LTOl phase.

powder diffraction. The average hln-0-hIn bond angles decrease as the average 

ionic radii of the Ln/A cations, <r,\>, decreases. This decrease is more rapid when 

A=Sr than when A=Ca. The average Mn-0 distance increases steadily as <r,t> 

decreases, indicating a rcduction in the overall hln-0 bonding. Both findings are in 

contradiction to common assumptions made in the literature; that the XIn-O-Ah 

bond angles are dependent solely on the ionic radii of the Ln/A cations, and that 

the hln-0 bond distances are independent of the Ln/A cations. Both bond distance 

and bond angle trends lead to a decrease in the width of the o* and T* bands as 

<rA> decreases, tlestabilizirig the ferromagnetic metallic state. 

Indivitliial hIn-0 bond distances show the onset of a cooperative Jahn-Teller 

distortion (formation of a large polaron) for <r,i> values below 1.19'4. This effect is 

mirrored in the behavior of the lattice constants as <r2i > decreases. Quantifying the 

octaheclral tilt angles suggests an a-b'a- + a-h'a- + a-a-a- evolution of the tilt 

system in the LI~~/~S~~/~."L~~LO~ seriw as <Ti\> increases. Relationships between

Structural Analyses of Stuffed Quartz Phases Along the LiAlSi04- 

Si02 Join 

H. Xu: P.J. Heaney, D.hL Yates (Princeton U.). J. Liu (SUNYat Stony Brook): A. 

Navrotsky (Princeton U.) and R.C. Liebermann (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Stuffed quartz phases along the LiAlSi04-Si02 join are structural derivatives of 

quartz, in which tetrahedral Si4+ cations are replaced by AI"' and the charge is 

balanced by the incorporation of Li+ into the main channels of the structure [l]. 

This group of compounds is of considerable interest because of their superionic 

conductivity and near-zero thermal expansion [2.3]. 

TVe have investigated the phases with the compositions Lil--rAll--rSil+zO~. x 

= 0, 0.2, 0.33, 0.5 0.7, 0.9, by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction with a linear 

position-sensitive detector. Rietveld analysis of unit cell parameters reveals two 

trend changes in a or c as a function of composition(x): TVith increasing silica 

content, a first remains approximately unchangecl up to -0.3 and then decreases 

with a slope change at -0.8. In contrast, the cell parameter c first exhibits a linear 

decrease between x = 0 and -0.3, remains roughly constant between x = -0.3 antl 

-0.8, antl decreases between x = -0.8 and 1.0. Lattice changes at -0.3 may be 

related to an Al/Si order-disorder transition. hlore specifically, the eiitl member 

O-eiicryptite hay a completely ordered iZl/Si configuration, but as Si substitution 

for Li+AI increases, this order is gratliially lost arid disappears at -0.3. The slope 

change at -0.8 probably results from a phase trarisitiori that is arialogoils to the a-3 

qiiartz transformation. In other words, for those silica-rich compositions, since there 

is not sufficient lithium to prop open the N-qiiartz structure, the ;tliiniinosilicate 

framework tends to collapse to the denser ru-qiiartz modification. As the changes 

in a ant1 c around -0.3 cancel each other, there is no discontinuity present in the 

plot of cell-voliirne V vs. x up to x = -0.8, irnplyirig a continuoiis riatiire of the 

order-tlisortler transition. However. thp tlisplacive transition at -0.8 is evident in 

the V-x plot due to the different densities of the a- arid 6-qiiartz frameworks.

Time Resolved In-Situ Diffraction Studies of Intercalation Processes: 

Intercalation of 1,B-Hexanediamine in a-Zr(HP04)Z.HzO. * 

A. M. Krogh Andersen, E. Krogh Andersen, I. G. Krogh Andersen (Odense U., 

Denmark), P. Norby (SUNY at Stony Brook) and J. C. Hanson (BNL - Chemistry). 

Casciola et al.' showed by batch titration that there exist three intercalates of 

1,6-Hexanediamine (HeDA) in a-Zr(HP04)z.HzO (a-ZrP), and they determined 

their composition. We report a continuation of studies of intercalation processes. 

The experiment was performed at 10" using an INEL CP120 detector. The sample 

was in a 0.5 mm quartz capillary. In the bottom of the capillary was a plug of 

quartz wool, then a loose plug of a-ZrP and another plug of quartz wool. A small 

amount of 10.85 m aqueous solution of HeDA was deposited 1-2 mm from the latter 

quartz plug. Diffractograms were recorded at 1 minute intervals. The intercalation 

process was started by pressing (4 Atm.) the solution into contact with the a-ZrP. 

Figure 1 shows a small Dart of the diffractoarams as a 3-D remesentation, time on v 

the z-axis. The peaks are (from the left): 

a) 002 reflection of a-ZrP.HeDA.Hz0 b) 002 reflection of a-ZrP'0.5HeDA.1.5HzO 

c) 002 reflection of a-ZrP.0.2HeDA.2.5HzO d) 002 reflection of a-ZrP + 004 reflection of a-ZrP'HeDA'HzO. That the 002 reflection for the host material (d) does 

not disappear, is due to that the 004 reflection of a-ZrP.HeDA.HZ0 has the same 

position. 

From indexing we find: c=30.78(12) A for a-ZrP.HeDA.Hz0, c=25.60(8) A for QZrP'0.5HeDA'1.5HzO, c=21.5 A for a-ZrP.0.2HeDA.2.5HzO and c=15.461(2) A 

for a-ZrP.

A mixture of equal parts of LaMn03.00 and Lao.ggMnl.Ol03.14 was sealed under 

vacuum in a 0.5 mm quartz capillary. The diffraction data were recorded with a INEL CPS120 detector, the recording time was 120 sec., and 10 sec. were used for 

data transfer. The sample was heated from 147-868°C in 3 hrs., kept at 868°C for 

30 min. and cooled to 147°C. 

Figure 1 shows a 3-D representation of diffractograms recorded during heating. 

Temperature on the z-axis. Diffractograms during cooling are not shown. In diffractogram 1 there are 3 peaks. Two of them, a and b, are the 220 and 004 reflections 

of the low temperature orthorhombic form of LaMnO3.00. The peak marked with c is the 204 reflection of hexagonal Lao.ggMnl,ol 03.14. At 584°C there is a phase 

transformation. The peaks of orthorhombic LaMn03.00 disappear and one new re- flection 204 of hexagonal LaMnO3.00 (marked with d) appears. At about 790°C the 

two peaks of the hexagonal material join as a result of oxidation of LaMn03.00 and 

reduction of Lao.ggMnl.ol03.14. At about 820°C the material is a single phase. After cooling to 147°C the material is still a single phase, but now orthorhombic. All 

the diffractograms can be indexed either as mixtures of two phases (orthorhombic 

and hexagonal), as mixtures of two hexagonal phases or as one single phase which 

is hexagonal at high temperature and orthorhombic at low temperature. 

Table 1 gives the unit cell volumes of the phases during the heating procedure.

A Time-resolved X-ray Powder Diffraction Study of Phase Transformations in the Quinuclidine-hh-Ge-S System 

C.L Cahill, Y. KO? J.B. Parise (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Benchtop syntheses in the quinuclidine-Mn-Ge-S system have yielded mixed 

phase products, both as a function of aging time and uptake of transition metal. A 

real time x-ray diffraction study was carried out to determine the synthetic pathway 

for the formation of these open framework materials. 

A slurry of starting materials to produce Qui-AInGeS-1 (established nomenclature 

for synthetic framework materials: organic guest-framework elements-structure type 

number) was loaded into a glass capillary. The sample was heated to 180C over 90 

minutes via an air heater. while hydrothermal conditions were maintained through 

an over pressure of Nz(g). Real time x-ray diffraction spectra were collected on 

the X7B Translating Imaging Plate System (TIPS), antl the resulting time resolved 

plot is shown below. The amorphous starting slurry crystallizes to Qui-GeS-10 

at approximately I00C. The structure of this material was previoiisly determined 

antl was known to contain no transition metal. At approxirnatcly 150C. the type 

10 structure proceeds throngh an amorphous region before re-crystallizing as QuiAlnGeS-I. The type 1 structnre was known previously as well, antl contains a 

transition metal species in its framework. Thns a structural rearrangement driven 

the uptake of a transition metal has been observed.

Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction was used for in-situ studies of the crystallization of microporous aluminophosphates and of Me-substituted aluminophosphates. The reaction mixtures for the crystallization experiments were gels containing one of the templates. 2-diethylarninoethanol, di-n-propylamine. triethylamine or tripropvlamine. The identified reaction products were, ALPO,t (tridvmite 

type), APO-5 (AFI), APO-11 (AEL), hIgAPO-5 (AFI). hInAPO-5 (AFI), Co,<PO-5 

(AFI). ZnAPO-39 (ATN). and ZnAPO-47 (CHA). 

The reaction kinetics of the crystallization of MnAPO-5 (AFI) and ZnAPO-47 

(CHA) were investigated using isothermal in-situ synchrotron X-ray powder tliffraction data. The gels were mounted in quartz capillaries with an external pressure 

up to 25 atm antl then the temperature was rapidly raised to the isothermal temperature with a stream of hot air. Time-resolved powder diffraction patterns were rneasurctl with a translating image plate detector. Three reflections in each powder 

pattern were integrated for calciilation of crystallization curves. The crystallisation curves of MnAPO-5 formation could be modeled by a first order expression, as shown in Figure 1. Rate constants of the crystal growth under hytlrothertnal conditions were extracted antl allowed calciilation of the apparent activation energy. The 

Arrhenius plot is shown in Figure 2 giving an apparent activation energy of. E,, = 

81(6)k+J/rriol, for the crystal growth of LlnAPO-5. The crvstallisatiori of ZnAPO-47 was more complex and will be fiirther investigated.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are believed to be major contributors to the seasonal ozone depletion over Antartica. The synthesis of environmentally friendly 

hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are much more complex than that of the CFC refrigerants since they involve many more steps and iinwanted impurities are often prcduced. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are used as temporary replacements for 

CFCs since only small amounts reach the ozone in the stratosphere. Basic and 

acidic molecular sieves have been suggested as materials for separating and trap 

pipg mixtures of fluorocarbons to remove impurities formed during their svnthesis. 

tie have been investigating a series of cation exchanged faii.jasites(Figure 1) with 

HCFC-l24a(CF2HCF2CI) antl HFC-l34(CF*HCFzH) to determine some of the interactions that are responsible for their adsorption and catalytic properties. 

Time resolved diffraction studies were carried out with an irnagc plate detector(1P) to monitor changes as a function of time and temperature. Figure 2 shows 

the in-situ adsorption of HFC-134 on NaX at a partial pressiire of 90 Torr. Upon 

adsorption there is a dramatic decrease in the intensity of the 111 reflection as the 

HFC is adsorbed in the supercage. Atlsorption/tlesorptiori cycles were performed 

with different HFC gases, antl by varying the HFC partial prcssiirc, the adsorption 

temperature antl the zeolite. 

KaX, RbX and ZnX loaded with HCFC-124a have been stiidietl with both solid 

state NhIR and powder diffraction. Using the IP, %n,-sit7~ high antl low temperature 

studies of bare antl preloatletl zpolites were performed. Samples were prepared by 

first dehydrating the zeolites iintlcr vaciiiiin at 450" C for 24 hours. Gas atlsorption 

was then carried out with a calibrated x'acutini system. Samples were parked in 

capillaries under dry nitrogen antl sealed. Using Rietveld analysis. structures of the 

bare zeolites have been refirled antl agree well with NhIR data. In order to rationalize 

the process by which catalvtic activity ocmrs inside the pores an iiriderstaritling of 

the binding must first be obtained. tVe have, therefore, begun the refineriieiit of NaX 

loaded with HCFC-124a. The pre1iminar.v model shows that the cation positions 

antl occupancies do riot remain constant. The sodium cations in the supercage move 

to bind more effectively to the HCFC moleciik lipon adsorption.

NMR Study of the Structure of Zeolite Cs(Na)Y During Dehydration 

Cation Migration in Zeolites: An In Situ Powder Diffraction and MAS I* 

C. P. Grey, P. Norby, F. I. Poshni (SUNY at Stony Brook), A. F. Gualtieri (Modena 

IT), J. Hanson (BNL) 

A knowledge of the positions of the extra-framework cations is fundamental to the 

understanding of the adsorption and catalytic properties of cation-exchanged zeolites. This is particularly important in the case of zeolites where only partial cation 

exchange is possible. We have used in-situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction 

and 133Cs MAS NMR to investigate the cation migration and ordering in samples of cesium exchanged zeolite Nay, as a function of temperature, cesium cation 

exchange level, and during dehydration.1 Figure 1 shows the diffraction pattern 

collected from a sample of Na 1~Cs38Si139A15303~4 while ramping the temperature 

(under vacuum) from 90 - 500 "C over 5 hours. The temperature was then held 

at 500°C for a further 3 hours. Significant changes are initially observed as water 

is removed; further changes are seen above 300 "C ( 250 min.) which are predominantly a consequence of the cesium-ion migrations. Rietveld refinement of these 

time-resolved diffraction patterns was performed, and revealed the temperatures 

at which the different cation migrations occur. Initially (above 180 "C), sodium 

cations in the site I' positions in the sodalite cages migrate into the double six 

rings. This is followed by a migration of the cesium cations, originally only present 

in the supercages, into the sodalite cages. Migration of sodalite cage sodium cations 

to the supercages occurs above 300 "C. 

Cation positions in both the partially dehydrated and dehydrated material were also observed to be highly sensitive to temperature: at high temperatures, equal 

numbers of cesium cations were found in the site 111' and site I1 positions in the 

supercages, while at temperatures close to room temperature, the cesium cations 

are almost all ordered on site 11. 

Thus in conclusion, partially exchanged CsY, dehydrated above 3OO0C, will contain sodium cations in the supercage sites which are, therefore, accessible for gas 

binding. In addition, the occupancies of the different supercage sites are highly 

temperature dependent, and the room temperature structure cannot necessarily be 

assumed to be an accurate model for the high temperature structure.

In situ XRPD Study of the Crystallization of Zeolites from Natural 

Halloysite * 

A.F. Gualtieri (U. of Modena, Italy), P. Norby (SUNY at Stony Brook), and J.C. 

Hanson (BNL) 

In our previous work at X7B the mechanism of hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite NaA and hydroxysodalite in solution has been investigated (Gualtieri et al., 

1997a,b). The precursors utilized for the synthesis experiments were an orderered 

and a disordered kaolinites activated at 600°C and 800"C, respectively. The results indicate an autocatalytic mechanism for the crystallization of both zeolites 

species, and dependence upon the thermal history and not upon the degree of 

disorder (the reaction is much faster from metakaolinite, the precursor activated 

at 600°C). Since zeolites formed from kaolinite have the same Si:A1 ratio (1:l) of 

the precursor, we are interested in the study of the crystallization process using a 

precursor with a different Si:A1 ratio. A natural halloysite [Alz(OH)4Si205nH20] 

interdispersed in an amorphous silica matrix has been selected. The Si:A1 ratio 

is 4. The sample was activated at 600°C for 5 h and the syntheses were carried 

out in isothermal mode in the range 70-150°C using a 4M NaOH solution with 

s:1=1:5. Preliminary data shows that three different zeolites are formed: NaX 

[Na88A188Si1040384 16H2200] crystallizes first at lower isothermal T and for shorter 

times, and is progressively replaced by NaP [Na7A17Si903217HzO] which in turn 

is replaced by analcime [NaleAll~Si3209~16H~O] at higher isothermal T and for 

longer times. The Ostwald's rule is perfectly fulfilled. It is interesting to note that 

the Si:A1 ratio is progressively changing in the forming zeolite as a function of T 

(from 1.2 in NaX to 1.3 in NaP and finally to 2 in analcime). The analysis of the 

data is still in progress.

Preliminary X-ray Reflectivity Study of Interdiffusion in Quantum 

Well Structures 

The Low Temperature Structures of T16(AlSi04)6 and Ag6(AlSiO4)6

S. A. Holt, A.S. Brown (Australian National U.) and D.C. Creagh (U. of Canberra) 

The properties of quantum well (QW) devices structures, e.g. lasing wavelength, are strongly dependant upon the interface properties of the structure. This work is 

at the beginning of a project using x-ray reflectivity to study the interface structure 

of QW devices. To this end we have performed x-ray reflectivity (XRR) on model 

structures to study the effects of inderdiffusion on the interface structure, in addition me are also studying the diffusion of defects introduced by anodic oxidation of the 

capping layer. 

Data analysis and modelling are still in progress, however a small subset of the 

results obtained is shown below. Figure 1 shows the XRR profile from an as- produced sample compared with that from the anodically oxidised equivalent. It is 

apparent that the structure of the capping layer is quite different as the fine fringe 

period (due to the total device thickness) has been radically altered. The long period 

(buried barrier layer) though has remained imchangctl by the surface treatment. 

Rapid thermal annealing at 900°C completely destroyed the fringe structure in 

comparable samples. In order to highlight tliffercrit aspects of the sample structure we also rrcortletl XRR profiles closc to ant1 far from the gallium edge (1.198 and 

0.9991 A respectively). The effect of this "contrast variation" on the reflectivity 

profile of the oxitliscd sample can be seen in Figure 2. As expected the fringe 

periods are unaffected hiit the fringe amplitude (related to the scattering length 

density difference between the lavers) has been motlifietl. At the longer wavelength 

the rffcctivc number of clectroris of ttic gallium is reduced, eriliaricirig the contrast 

of the gallium rich barrier layer.

Aluminosilicate sodalites of the general composition hpI~+, (Alsio~)~ (X),?HzO 

form model compounds for more complicated zeolite structures. They consist of 

space filling polyhedra (beta-cages). formed by a network of alternating, cornersharing Si04 arid AI04 tetrahedra [I]. The hI+ ions, which compensate for the 

negative charge of the framework, are located inside the beta-cages together with 

possible anions and neutral water molecules. The ions serve as spacers preventing 

the open framework from collapsing. Depending on the exact nature of the cage 

filling ions antl water molecules, the framework can arljiist itself in the form of a unit 

cell reduction, a so-called '.partial collapse" [2]. itre report here low temperature

to clarify this aspect.

The Structure and Dynamics of Sodium Sodalite as a Function of 

Temperature 

B. B. Iversen, S. Latturner, C. Brown, N. Blake, G. D. Stucky (U. of California Q 

Santa Barbara), P. Norby, and J. Hanson (BNL) 

The high temperature structure (T=675K) of dry sodium sodalite, Nas [A1Si04]~, 

was reported previously by Felsche et a1 [l] based on conventional powder diffraction 

data. In the high T phase statistical disorder of the six metal atoms distributed over 8 cubic positions create a pseudo-cubic structure with spacegroup P-43n. However 

as the temperature is lowered an ordering of the sodium atoms takes place leading to one or more phase transitions. In order to solve this challenging structural problem 

we have measured temperature resolved powder diffraction data in the range 100 - 650 K. As can be seen from Figure 1 the structural changes are complex and 

the spectra contain many subtle features. The cubic peaks move to higher theta 

values in the low temperature regime indicating a contraction of the framework 

with decreasing temperature. Furthermore, numerous well resolved superstructure 

peaks are present in the low T spectra. Work is in progress to establish the correct 

spacegroup for the low temperature phase and carry out Rietveld refinements as a function of temperature. This will provide detailed information about the dynamics 

of metals atoms suspended in a zeolite cage. To assist in the interpretation of the 

results and to gain insight into the catalytic behaviour of metal atoms in zeolites, 

ab-initio quantum mechanical calculations are also being carried out on the system

X7B Structural Origin of the Remarkable Mechanical Properties of Prunus 

Serrula Bark 

B. B. Iversen, C. Zaremba, X. Xu, F. Wudl, G. D. Stucky, (U. of California) 

The bark of Prunus serrula is a natural composite plastic film with remarkable 

anisotropic mechanical properties. The bark is as strong as Mylar [poly(ethyleneterephthalate)] and as tough as one of the strongest man-made films, Kapton 

[poly 4,4’-diaminophenyl ether pyromellitamide)] . In a recent communication Xu 

et a1 i 11 reported detailed mechanical measurements characterising its proper- ties. 

With the hope of gaining insight into the structural origin of the remark- able mechanical properties we have carried out low temperature (lOO(5)K) fiber diffraction 

measurements using the X7B image plate setup. The bark has a low crystallinity, 

which however can be increased by either stretching and heating the bark or by 

chemical treatment, see Figure 1. In the treated film not only does the intensity 

of the inner ring concentrate into fairly discrete peaks, but also a strong new peak 

appears at a lower d-spacing. In the high order region of the diffraction patterns 

weaker peaks appear with significant intensity, which are not observable in the 

untreated sample. Such details were not revealed in diffraction measurements using conventional X-rays and a Siemens SMART ccd de- tector. We are currently 

analysing the synchrotron patterns with the CCPl3 fiber diffraction software [a]. 

From SEM photos it is clear that the bark consists of lOxlOxl00 micron rectangular 

cells packed with their long dimension along the mechanically strong direction of 

the film. The diffraction patterns reveal that the fiber axis of the system is perpendicular to this direction. It is hoped that the patterns will allow us to establish 

which forms of cellulose are present in the bark. This may provide an explanation 

for the unusual properties of this material.

resultant phase changes (Figure 1) with real-time X-ray diffraction methods. Both 

(Y - CuAlC14’ and 0 - CuAlCl4 contain large Van der Waals channels which are thought to be important in the reversible absorption of small gasses. As this time, 

the structure of the material formed on gas loading has not been determined, but 

mnst involve a significant rearrangement and opening up of the copper aluminum 

chloride framework to allow gas rnolecules to diffuse inside. Use of controlled gas 

pressnres allows to address questions such as: what partial presslire of ethylene is 

required to force open the structure (and canse the phase change)? The kinetics of 

the sorption can then be monitored as a fnnction of pressure.

Akaganeite FeOl-, (OH)1-,ClZyH20, is a commonly encountered corrosion product of iron. This compound is only formed and is only stable in the presence of 

chloride ions. In the absence of chloride ions, iron is stabilized to prevent further 

corrosion. In akaganeite the chloride ions are, together with water molecules, enclosed in channels in the structure, and may be released by washing. ion exchange 

or heating. [Vhen heated to temperatures as low as 425 K, akaganeite releases hydrochloric acid, and the transformation to hematite, FeaOs, starts to take place. 

In order to obtain information on the mechanism of hydrochloric acid release and 

to obtain a better understancling of the corrosion process, time-resolved X-ray synchrotron powder diffraction studies have been carried ont in the temperatnre range 

425 - 525 K, covering the whole transformation region. The structural examination arc accompanied by therrnogravimetric and differential thermal analyses arid by

ULM-5 is a microporous oxy-fluorinated gallophosphate containing large 16- 

membered rings and interconnecting 8-membered rings. [ 11 ULM-5 is synthesised 

hydrothermally at 180°C. We have undertaken a study of the formation of ULM5 under a variety of synthetic conditions in order to gain a greater understanding of the dynamics of crystal growth and nucleation. Early experiments at the 

SRS, Daresbury Laboratory, UK using time-resolved, in-situ energy dispersive Xray diffraction indicated that a highly crystalline intermediate phase is observed to 

form which then subsequently reacts to form ULM-5. [a] In an effort to gain a greater 

understanding of the structural relationships between these phases we undertook 

an investigation of the synthesis of ULM-5 using monochromatic synchrotron radiation and a translating image plate detector (TIP) available on beamline X7B at 

the NSLS. 

Aliquots of the gel mixture were syringed into 0.7 mm quartz capillaries and 

heated to 160°C while time-resolved XRD patterns were collected with the TIP 

detector. The figures show two 3D plots of the evolution with time of the XRD 

patterns for successive ULM-5 syntheses. 

Despite being prepared in the same way, two experiments showed different behaviour. Although in each case ULM-5 was the final product of the reactions, the 

time taken for complete crystallization was not the same. More dramatically, the 

behaviour prior to crystallization was completely different in each case. In Fig. la a mixture of two intermediate phases was observed which subsequently react to form 

the final ULM-5 product. In Fig. lb a single intermediate material is observed. 

In conclusion, these it in-situ experiments are a dramatic illustration of the complexity of hydrothermal syntheses, and how subtle changes in the reaction conditions, such as the use of slightly different starting materials or the reaction vessel, 

can greatly affect the course of these reactions. Nevertheless, be believe are results 

dramatically illustrate the unique ability of in-situ experiments to gain information 

not available using other techniques.

The catalytic properties of cobalt and nickel molybdates have attracted a lot of 

attention in recent years. These novel materials exhibit interesting relationships 

between their structural and catalytic properties. At atmospheric presure, two 

phases of NiMo04 and CoMo04 are known to exist, designated as the alfa and the 

beta phase. The main difference between them is that coordination of Mo6+ ions 

is octahedral in the alfa phase and tetrahedral in the beta phase. In both phases, 

Co2+/Ni2+ ions occur in octahedral sites. The catalytic properties of NiMo04 

are closely related to its structure. The beta phase is almost twice more selective 

for the dehydrogenation of propane to propene than the alfa phase. In a similar 

way, sulfided beta-NiMoO4 was found to be a much better catalyst for the HDS 

of thiophene than the sulfided alfa isomorph. In order to fully understand these 

catalytic processes, it is essential to understand both, the structural as well as the 

electronic properties of these molybdates. We carried out a detailed study of these 

properties using time resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Investigations at X7B 

have recently established the feasibility of conducting sub- minute, time resolved 

XRD experiments under a wide variety of sample conditions (-190 C < T < 900 C, 

P <=45 atm). This important advance results from combining the high intensity 

of synchrotron radiation with rapid new parallel data-collection devices. Using 

this approach, we monitored the changes that occur in AMo04.xHz 0 and alfaAMo04 systems (A=Co/Ni) as a function of temperature. The hydrated COMO04 

and NiMo04 compounds lose water by 350 and 450 C , respectively to form the 

pure beta phases. On heating to 550 C, alfa- NiMoO4 starts to transform into 

the beta isomorph and the transformation is complete by 700 C. The alfa to beta 

transformation in CoMo04 occurs around 450 C. The time resolved XRD patterns 

provide detailed information about the kinetic parameters of these transformations.

We have been exploring the use of chiral chelate complexes as templates for the 

preparation of chiral solids. Our early work using simple Co(II1) complexes in the 

synthesis of AlPO and GaPO materials showed that chirality could be induced in a growing framework using templates of this type. However, the range of Co(II1) 

complexes that can be used is limited by their hydrothermal stability. We have examined a number of strategies to produce template species with enhanced stability 

and found that the use of Ir(II1) in place of Co(II1) increases the maximum temperature at which the templates can be used by more than 50°C. Initital experiments 

with Ir(II1)containing templates produced two new materials that could not be 

prepared as single crystals suitable for use with a laboratory based diffractometer. 

A hemisphere of data was collected on a 50 x 50 x 50 prn crystal of d,ZIr(en)3[Al~P.t016]xH20 using 1.1167;l radiation (Pnna, 8.55, 21.93, l3.94Jt). The

We report progress in the reflectance calibrations of witness mirrors from the 

coatings of AXAF. AXAF is an acronym for NASA's Advanced X-ray Astrophysics 

Facility. The witness mirrors from AXAF are coated with some 350A of iridium 

on 100A of chromium, on Zerodur substrates. Calibrations mere completed for four 

mirrors in the 2010-6200 eV range during November 1996. Problems with adjustments in the X8A nionochromator horizontal alignment versus energy resulted in 

a decision to calibrate only in the limited 2010-2400 eV range after the Jannary 

restart. The result was the completion of sixteen mirrors iri the 2010- 2400 eV 

range, which iricludes the iridium 11-V and hf-IV absorption features. Each calibration was completed within a 24 hour run period. The X-ray beam was extremely 

quiescent through most of the run period, allowing our gated monitoring rnodc of 

operation to provide precision approaching 0.1% for reHectance measiirements after 

normalization. This is as good its we have ever seen on X&4. Calibration results 

for one mirror over the full X8A Si (111) energy range are given in the figure. The 

several traces represent data taken at differmt grazing angles. The 11-edge absorption features shown are the most significant features appearing in the AXAF 

telescope reHecting efficiency. Significant EXAFS appear on the h1-IV edge, with 

2-374 amplitude oscillations versiis energy extending over 300 eV. This rciriarkablc 

feature occurs in films and coatings of iritliiirn regardless of the quality or density 

of the film. Further study arid analysis of the EXAFS is iiritler way.

We report the completion of calibrations on a total of 46 witness mirrors in the 

data range 2010-2400 eV. The final 20 mirrors on the schedule were completed 

during our second run period of 1997 on X8A. The 2010-2400 eV range includes the 

M-V and M-IV edges of iridium, two of the most important features in the entire 

AXAF mirror efficiency spectrum. Our measurements typically obtained 0.2-0.3% 

experimental noise levels during this run, indicating a very stable and quiescent 

X-ray ring operation. Years of work on these issues with the NSLS accelerator staff 

have paid off well. The figure gives the calibration data taken from a typical AXAF 

witness mirror. The several traces are data taken at different grazing angles. These 

data are to be reduced to optical constants using a Fresnel equation model with 

uniform layers and a modified Debye-Waller factor roughness correction. The optical 

constants will be used in modeling of the AXAF calibration to be compared with 

data taken from the actual flight optics. Optical constants provide the advantage of 

removing angular information from the reflectance data, allowing a full calibration 

versus energy and angle with a minimum of reflectance data.

AXAF witness mirrors are coated with 350 A iridium upon 100 A chromium, 

deposited on a Zerodur substrate. We report our first sixteen months' progress on reflectance calibrations of AXAF witness mirrors in the 2010-6200 eV range using 

beamline X8A (1995-1996). Data quality with 0.2-0.4% precision is nearly always 

attainable. Noise problems from the source, which are particularly noticeable with 

the aperturing on this beamline, have largely been cured by the accelerator science 

staff. At best, data acquistion over four energy ranges which collectively cover 2010- 

6200 eV, may be completed in four days. Efforts to improve the data acquisition 

timing are in progress. Included in the efforts are a new data aquisition program 

based on LabView software from National Instruments, Inc., and some type of semitransparent flux monitor which can replace the gated PIN diode normalization 

method we have used during the first year. (Please see adjoining abstracts for 

progress in these areas.) Through the first sixteen months of the X8A AXAF 

calibrations, we have calibrated some 13 mirrors. There are 31 mirrors remaining 

to be calibrated over the full range to meet our calibration goals for AXAF. Iridium 

optical constants have been derived from some of these data using a Fresnel Equation 

model with uniform layers and a modified DeBye-Waller factor correction for surface 

roughness. Figure 1 gives optical constants derived in the 2010-2400 eV range for 

several of these mirrors. This range includes the iridium M-V and M-IV absorption 

features. Different mirrors give slightly different optical constants. It appears from 

the data that a few angstroms of some contaminant are present in varying depths on the several mirrors included.

We report the completion of calibrations on some 48 iridium-coated witness mir- rors in the 22.50-2900 eV energy range. which includes the sharp, narrow hI-111 

absorption feature and considerable EXAFS on the Xl-V and AI-IV edges. We have 

reduced the calibration time to one mirror per eleven-hour shift, using a doublewindow ionization chamber in the vacuum as a flux monitor, and a new data acquisition program based on LabView. \'e can now complete the remaining calibrations 

in approximately 65 eleven-hour shifts on X8A, thereby conipleting the calibrations 

slated for this bearnline. The relative response between the Si PIN diode which mea- sures the reflected flux. antl the double thin-Be-window ionization chamber nionitor 

is constant to within 1% in all cases, but usually is within 0.4% froni the start to 

the finish of any given calibration. The variation in this normalization is cnrrentlv 

attributed to the variation in the vertical extent antl bifurcation of the X-ray beam. 

The vertical extent changes as the upstream mirror on XXA cycles thermally diiring 

each fill. The data quality, exchitling this small slow variation in normalization, 

is extremely good, and is milch less sensitive to temporal instabilities in thc XXA 

intcnsity, a problem which has occasionally cost our team time when using our old 

gatctl Si PIN diode monitoring system. Example data are given in the figure. The 

precision in the data is at thc 0.1% level. the best ever seen froin this beamline at 

these energies. 

Scattering Studies of AXAF Witness Mirrors * 

R.L. Blake (R&D Services, Prop.), A.J. Burek, and D.E. Graessle (Smithsonian 

Astrophysical Observatory) 

A preliminary x-ray scattering study has been conducted on one of the AXAF 

witness mirrors that we are calibrating. The study was intended to determine 

whether sample scattering can be reliably measured separately from slit scattering 

and over what range of angles with respect to the specnlarly reflected beam. The 

same reflectometer test station was used that is routinely employed for all our 

reflectivity calibrations at NSLS. Data were taken at 10 keV with the Ir coated 

witness sample at the critical angle (8.12 milliradians). A 100 micrometer entrance 

slit upstream of the sample and a 105 micrometer scraper slit between the entrance 

slit and sample define the beam received by a 2.5 micrometer detector slit. The 

detector was scanned through the direct beam with sample removed to get the 

slit scatter profile, then through the reflected beam to get the conibined slit and 

saniple scatter profile. Shown below as the inner, tlashed curve is the normalized 

direct beam profile shifted to be centered on the reflected beam profile (the outer, 

solid curve). On the direct beam profile one sees the scattering primarily from the 

entrance slit nntil it is clipped by the scraper slits at flO00 ms from the direct beam 

centerline. To determine the saniple scatter profile without the slit contribution 

one must invert the direct beam profile around the reflected beani specular peak 

and then subtract the inverted direct beam profile from the reflected beam profile. 

\\.:ithont doing the inversion antl siibtraction one can scc the study goals were met. 

The sample scatter contribution can be determined to acceptable accuracy to within 

300 ins of the specularly reflected peak, or 1.3 rnillirntlians. This preliminary work 

demonstrates that a fiill scattcriiig study on AXAF sarnples is justified.

We report significant progress toward the completion of the 33 scheduled witness 

mirrors for calibration over 5-12 keV on the X8C beamline. In all, 29 of the orignally 

slated 33 AXAF witness mirrors have been calibrated successfully in this energy 

range. A very significant addition to our configuration has made this progress 

possible. A double-thin-Be-window ionization chamber filled with one atmosphere 

of Ne has allowed simultaneous monitoring of the incident flux with the detection 

of the reflected flux by Si PIN diodes. The ion chamber allows data points to be 

taken in a period of approximately six to eight seconds each, whereas our previous 

method of gating PIN diodes in and out of the beam required 20-25 seconds per 

point. This is an improvement of almost a factor of three. Data quality is not only 

uncompromized, but is in fact improved. (See figure 1 below.) Disparate points 

frequently occur using the gated monitor because of significant flux variations due 

to monochromator settling and thermalization which happens at certain energies 

when the monochromator is initially set or moved to those energies. The change 

in flux may be as much as 5% at such points, and this ramping may occur up to 

10 seconds after the monochromator stepper motor has stopped. The ion chamber 

essentially eliminates this problem. Hence, we have completed 18 mirrors in the 

September 1996 data run on X8C. Further progress is reported in the adjoining 

abstracts.

We report the completion of scheduled calibrations on the X8C beamline for 

AXAF witness mirrors over 5-12 keV. The thin-window ion chamber continues to 

give consistant normalizations with Si PIN diodes, allowing simultaneous monitoring 

and reflectance measurements. The final five AXAF witness mirrors originally slated 

for calibration have been completed during this run. Seven additional angles were 

added to the procedure for energy scans, which allow better determination of optical 

constants, particularly in the in the 10-12 keV range. This latter range includes 

the very sharp, strong L-I11 absorption feature for iridium. (See Fig. 1.) Optical 

constants P(E) determined from the reflectance data are in Fig. 2, including a 

comparison with data from Henke, et al., Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables, 

vol. 54(2), p. 181 (1993). (Our fitted S(E) is consitently within 2% of the tabulated 

values.) The p values exhibit a dependence on the roughness of the flat measured, 

which is not physically reasonable. Further study of our mirror scattering and 

modeling thereof are in progress.

Single-stranded nucleic acid-binding proteins play roles in key cellular processes 

such as DNA replication, recombination. repair, and control of RNA translation. 

This project has focussed on determining the crystal structures of complexes between gene V protein and oligonucleoticles of lengths from 4 to 16 nucleotides. iVe 

have obtained crystals of a number of these complexes and have collected x-ray 

diffraction data on those that diffract to high resolution. At this point we have collected x-ray diffraction datasets to a resolution of at least 3.5 A for the 6 different 

gene V protein-oligonucleotide complexes. 

IVe have used the structure of the wild-type gene V protein that we determined 

previously to solve the structure of the protein portion of one complex crystal con- taining a 16-mer oligoniiclcotide. This complex crystallized in space group R3 and 

the asynirnetric unit of the crystal contains 4 monomers of the protein. The standard R-factor for this structure after rigid-body refinement of the protein portion 

alone is 0.39. indicating that the solution we have obtained is likely to be correct. 

iVe are now in the procrss of using difference Fourier methods and atomic refinement 

to determine the location of the bound ssDNA in these crystals.

TBP is a component of the nuclec-protein complexes required for the initiation 

of transcription by each of the three eukaryotic RNA polymerases. The binding of 

the .'TITA Binding Protein" (TBP) to specific promoter sequences called "TATA 

boxes" is a key step in the initiation of transcription of genes transcribed by RNA 

polymerase 11. The nucleotide sequence of 'TATA boxes' is variable among naturally occurring promoters. Although promoters containing 'TATA boxes' that bind 

TBP with high affinity are generally transcribed efficiently, there is not a direct 

correlation between TBP binding affinity and transcriptional activity. 

A mechanism has been proposed for the association of TBP with DNA.

Single Band Densitometric Analysis Synchrotron X-Ray Footprinting 

Autoradiograms 

M. Brenowitz, T. Wexler and E. Jamison (AECOM) 

A key issue to be resolved for the analysis of synchrotron x-ray ” footprinting” 

kinetics experiments is the development of algorithms for the ”band-by-band” densitometric analysis of the gel electrophoresis autoradiograms that are the primary 

data of these experiments. While the current procedures, in which groups of bands are grouped into ”blocks”, has been sufficient for the analysis and interpretation 

of the .OH protections that have been determined in our initial studies of the Tetrahymena ribozyme, insight into more subtle changes of structure requires the implementation of ” band-fitting” protocols originally developed in our laboratory for 

thermodynamic studies using .OH and 5-phenyl-phenanthroline as probes of DNA 

conformation that occur in sequence-specific protein-DNA interactions. Implementation of these protocols have been greatly facilitated through the development by 

Dr. Thomas Tullius and his co-workers of a band-fitting program (GelExplorer) 

with an interactive graphical interface interactive that runs within the IRIS Explorer environment. The basic algorithm is that the optical density (OD) of each 

lane on an autoradiogram is scanned in the direction of electrophoresis across the 

width of the lane. The OD values determined for each scan are fit to individual curves within the selected lane. The procedure is analogous to spectral deconvolution. Following fitting, the areas of the fitted curves are summed for each band 

and a histogram can be generated relating relative band density with the nucleotide 

present at that position in the nucleic acid. The results obtained by this procedure for the DNA containing a ’TATA Box’ (the binding site of the eukaryotic 

transcription factor TBP) shows that the decrease in the relative band densities 

for the sequence ’AAAA’ is consistent with the assumption of a bent configuration 

by this sequence. Similar data sets obtained at temperatures from 15 - 45 “C are being compared with solvent accessibility calculations of this DNA obtained from 

molecular dynamics calculations. The goal of this project is to correlate changes in 

DNA conformation with the temperature dependencies of the thermodynamics and 

kinetics of DNA binding by TBP. .OH cleavage data sets have been obtained for a 

number of different ’TATA box’ sequences that display unique thermodynamic and 

kinetic signatures. 

I A Resource Dedicated to Time-Resolved X-Ray Footprinting I X~A I 

M. Chance, M. Brenowitz and M. Sullivan (AECOM) 

Hydroxyl radicals (.OH) can cleave the phosphodiester backbone of nucleic acids 

and are valuable reagents in the study of nucleic acid structure and protein-nucleic 

acid interactions through footprinting studies. Irradiation of solutions by high flux 

white light x-ray beams based on bending magnet beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) yields sufficient concentrations of .OH so that quantitative nuclease protection (footprinting) studies of DNA and RNA can be conducted 

with a duration of exposure in the range of 10 - 20 milliseconds. 

To provide expanded access to this technology, beamline X9A at the National 

Synchrotron Light Source has been constructed along with a dedicated stopped flow 

instrument to allow footprinting studies for our expanded group of investigators. 

The beamline accepts up to 5 milliradians of white beam, with a flu density of 

lo9 photons/s/mm2 10.07% bandwidth over an effective energy range of 3-30 keV. 

The completion of the beamline has enhanced the productivity of this core project, 

accelerating both the core and collaborative research programs tremendously. Our 

Resource is the world leader in this technology and the availability of a dedicated 

beamline will continue our leadership in this area. We are now routinely conducting 

footprinting studies on 10-20 milliseconds and longer timescales with our stopped 

flow device and have made major advances in understanding RNA folding. 
tj I The Folding of an Immobile DNA Branched Junction I X9A I Go

RI. Chance, B. Sclavi. M. Brenowitz (AECOR.1): N.C. Seeman, and H. Yan (NYU) 

The Holliday junction is a central intermediate in the process of genetic recombination. This is a four-stranded DNA molecule, in which the four strands pair to 

form four double helical arms that flank a branch point. The site of the branch point 

in naturally occurring Holiday junctions is unstable, because it is flanked by twofold 

(homologous) sequence symmetry that permits the junction to relocate through an isomerization known as branch migration. If the symmetry is eliminated in synthetic 

molecules, the site of the branch point is stable. In the presence of I\Ig cations, the 

junction folds into a structure in which the four arms stack on each other pairwise, 

to form two double helical domains; two strands adopt a roughly helical structure, 

and the other two strands cross over between the two domains. In the absence of 

hIg cations, the four arms adopt a fourfold symmetric arrangement. The hydroxyl 

radical cleavage pattern is sensitive to the folding of the junction in the presence 

of hlg. Relative to their pattern in linear duplex DNA, the two crossover strands are protected from attack in the two-domain structure. Likewise, four niicleotides 

3' to the branch point, the helical strands demonstrate protection, because they 

occlude each other there. Both protections appear to be lessened in the absence of 

magnesium. Hence, this is a system whereby ttie kinetics of the folding of this key 

intermediate shoiild be measurable through these reporter protection diffrrcnces. 

I Time-Resolved Synchrotron X-Ray Footprinting I X9A I 

k1.R. Chance. M. Sullivan, B. Sclavi, R.1. Brenowitz (AECORI), and S. Woodson 

(Univ. of h#Iaryland) 

Hydroxyl radicals (*OH) can cleave the phosphodiester backbone of nucleic acids 

and are valuable reagents in the study of nucleic acid structure and protein-nucleic 

acid interactions through "footprinting" studies. Irradiation of solutions by high 

flux "white light" x-ray beams based on bending magnet beamlines at the National 

Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) yields sufficient concentrations of *OH so that 

quantitative nuclease protection ("footprinting") studies of DNA arid RNA can be 

conducted with a duration of exposure in the range of 10 - 20 milliseconds. The 

utility of this timescale for riiicleic acid cleavage is demonstrated by synchrotron 

x-ray time-resolved "footprinting" analyses of the h1g"-dependent folding of the 

Tetrahymena themophilia L-21 Sca I ribozyme RNA. 

hlany macromolecnlar folding reactions. such as the RIg2+-dependent folding 

of the P4PG domain of the Tctmhymena thermophilia group I intron, occur on 

timescales shorter than one second. Kinetic progress curves describing the millisccontl folding of PCPG within thr L-21 rihozyme have been obtained using a new *OH "footprinting" techniqiie, stopped-flow synchrotron x-ray "footprinting". The 

folding of P4-PG is a highly coIicertcd reaction; the regions of *OH protection within 

tlie interior of ttie foItIetI domain appear at rates of 5 1.0 sec-l.oO~ protections 

within the P5c sub-domain appear at rates of 2.0 sec-', suggesting that folding 

of this suhdomain is the initial step in the folding pathway. Thr rates of *OH 

protection of the "triple hclix" junction between P4-PG arid the P3-P7 tlomnin and 

those protections in P4-PG ascribed to interaction with the PO domain at rates of zz 

0.3 sec- I. These results siiggrst that these tertiary interactions guide the folding of 

the catalytic core against a11 extensively folded P4PG domain. This stopped-flow 

approach to '* footprinting" will be widely applicable to the kinetic nnalysis of many 

riiicleic acid folding and protein-nucleic acids biritlirig reactions. 

Since RNA folding progress ciirves over timescales from 20 milliseconds to several minutes ha\re been obtained for nearly 20 regions of the ribozyme. this research 

provides an unprecedented structural kinetic picture of the folding of a large macromolecule. Synchrotron x-ray "footprinting" is a new approach of general applicability for the study of time-resolved structural rhangrs of nucleic acid conformation 

and protein-nucleic acid complexes.

Fast Folding of the Tetrahymena Ribozyme: Mutants and P4-P6 Domain Folding 

M.R. Chance, M. Sullivan, B. Sclavi, M. Brenowitz (AECOM), S. Woodson, M. 

Deras (U. of Maryland), J. Williamson, and M. Rook (MIT) 

To further dissect the folding mechanism of the Tetrahymena ribozyme, we have 

explored two avenues of research. One is to examine the folding of the isolated 

P4-P6 domain, which is seen to fold on the sub-second timescale in the presence 

of other ribozyme components. This phase of the research is in conjunction with 

Dr. Woodson’s lab at the University of Maryland. The second approach, in collaboration with Dr. Williamson’s lab at MIT, involves examining the folding of 

several fast-folding mutants of the Tetrahymena themophila group I intron. Dr. 

Williamson’s group is currently characterizing the temperature and urea dependence of folding of these mutants, using their oligo-hybridization method, which 

probes the formation of helix P3 in the ribozyme. In order to measure the rates of 

folding of the rest of the 400 bases-long RNA, Martha Rook, a graduate student in 

Williamson’s lab has begun time-resolved x-ray footprinting experiments on these 

mutants in collaboration with the Resource Center. 

Time-Resolved X-Ray Footprinting of Cytochrome c 

I. Kravtsov, S.D. Maleknia and M. Chance (AECOM) 

I X9A I 

Understanding the folding kinetics of proteins are vital in revealing their biological functions and structures. Spectroscopic methods used to date have been 

quite helpful in characterizing transient-intermediate structures of proteins, but 

new methods to investigate tertiary structure changes are needed. Synchrotron x- ray footprinting techniques enable millisecond time-resolved structural changes in 

nucleic acid conformation and protein-nucleic acid complexes to be studied. This 

approach in conjunction with mass spectrometric sequencing methods are being 

used to study folding kinetics of cytochrome c. Hydroxyl radicals generated by 

x-ray radiolysis of water induce detectable amino acid modifications of cytochrome c within 4 millisecond. Deconvoluted electrospray ionization mass spectra reveal 

that the prominent modification results in ions at +16 u intervals above the molecular weight of unmodified protein. The nature of these modifications are being 

identified by proteolysis and mass spectrometric mapping experiments, and are cor- related with the solvent accessibility residue map of cytochrome c to reveal the 

protein structure at various solution conditions. The aromatic, heterocyclic, and 

sulfur containing amino acid residues are most reactive to hydroxyl radicals. 
I Synchrotron X-Ray Induced Modifications of Peptides I X9A I 

S.D. Maleknia and M. Chance (AECOM) 

Synchrotron x-ray studies of peptides are being investigated to characterize the 

reaction mechanisms, and to construct a data base of the reactivity order, for each 

class of amino acids. These studies include anaerobic and "0 isotope experiments. 

The order of reactivity of amino acids at various pH conditions or in the presence 

of denaturing agents (urea, KCI. guanidine hydrochloride) are also being examined. 

This study provides fundamental information necessary for protein footprinting experiments. 

The radiolysis of water by x-rays produces a high flux of free electrons and hydroxyl radicals in a millisecond time scale. Random sequence peptides (10 to 25 

mhI in water) containing 5 to 20 amino acid residues were exposed to the x-ray 

beam (X-9B) for 4, 16, 50. or 100 ms. .4nalysis of these peptides by niass spectrometry using matrix-assisted laser desorption or clectrosprav ionization techniques 

revealed modifications to the peptide within 4 ms. The major peptide modification 

resnlts in ions at +I6 II intervals above the molecular ion of the unmorlifietl peptitle. iL1aS.s spectra of peptides containing phenylalanine residnes revealed multiple 

modifications detected at +I6 n intervals after 50 to 100 nis x-ray exposure. Mass 

spectrometric seqncncing itleritifietl that the phenylalanine residues were modified 

by addition of 16 11. 

The Structure of an Actin-crosslinking domain from Human Fimbrin I X9B 

S. Almo, S. Goldsmith, M. Sullivan, and A. Fedorov (AECOM) 

Actin crosslinking proteins organize filamentous (F-) actin into higher order as- semblies such as bundles and networks which are important for biological processes 

including cell motility, cytokinesis and tumorigenesis. Fimbrin is a representative 

member of the largest superfamily of actin crosslinkers which is characterized by a conserved 275 amino acid F-actin binding domain. We have determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal actin binding domain of human fimbrin (ABD1) 

to 2.4resolution, which represents the first high resolution structure of an actincrosslinking domain. Initial characterization of ABDl crystals was performed using 

synchrotron radiation at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Beamline X9B. where 

the crystals diffracted to at least 1.9Aresolntion. ABDl is an ellipsoid molecule of 

dimensions ~fi0~40x40~~~. and has a novel fold composed of two calponin homology 

(CH) snbtlomains. CH domains mav serve to target a nnmber of proteins) including 

signaling proteins) to cytoskeletal components. The two CH domains in ABDl are 

connected by a central alpha-helix, and are specifically oriented by inter-subtlomain 

hydrophobic and ionic contacts. The crystal structure of ABDl has allowed for the 

niapping of peptide segments implicated in F-actin binding. as irlentifietl by peptide 

binding arid deletion mutation analv. The locations of snppressor mutations in 

the yeast homolog of fimbrin (sacfip) snggest that the interaction between ABDl 

and F-actin is mcdiatetl by a conformational rearrangement involving the relative 

orientation of the two CH domains. The crystal structure of ABDl provides a starting point for the constrnctiori of a tlctailed atomic motlel of F-actin crosslinking by 

nit:mb~rs of the entire superfamily of proteins.

X9B Frozen Solutions and Vectorially-Oriented Single Monolayers of Oriented RIembrane Herme Proteins 

J.K. Blasie, A. Edwards (U. of Pennsylvania) and K. Zhang (IIT) 

Both peripheral (soluble) and detergent-solubilized integral membrane proteins 

can be tetered to the surface of inorganic substrates via bifunctional organic chain 

molecules possessing a headgroup specific for the substrate surface and an endgroup 

specific for one or more residues exposed on the protein's surface. Such tethering can provide a single vectorially-oriented monolayer of the fully-functional protein on 

the surface of the solid substrate resulting in an ideal form of the protein for closely 

correlated structural and functional studies, the former employing both x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Over the past year, we have performed polarized 

Fe-EXAFS studies on such vectorially-oriented single monolayers of cytochrome c 

in order to determine the utility of such measurenients for cleterniining the orientation of the cytochrome's heme group relative to the plans of the monolayer. as compared with that of analogous linear dichroism studies of the heme's optical absorption transitions. These studies have recently been published. In addition, me 

have performed both Fe-EXAFS antl Zn-EXAFS studies on frozen solutions of an entirely synthetic model metalloprotein (or "maqiiette" ) based on a four alpha-helix 

bundle motif containing by design specific birding sites for four either iron porphyrin or zinc porphyrin groups. The analysis of ttiesc data are in progress. These studies 

are essential to establish the precise nature of thc actual coordination of the metal 

atom in such "maquettes" as a prelude to polarized EXAFS studies on vectoriallyoriented single monolayers of siich model metalloproteins. Overall. these structural 

studies are essential to uritlerstantling the nature of both intrarrioleciilnr antl intermolecular elcctrori transfer phenomena exhibitrd by these rriembrarie proteins (as 

we11 as models and complexes thereof), aiitl tlic coupling of these phenomena to 

the generation of trarisrrierribrane electrocherriical potentials arid biological energy

I AUTOFIT 1.0. A New Software for XAS Global Mapping I X9B I 

WI. Chance, E. Scheuring, \Vu-Xin Huang (AECOPVI) 

Our global mapping procedure, where crystal structure coordinates are refined 

to XAS data using the ab initio XAS code FEFF 6.01, continues to be used and 

updated. In the programs. a grid of hundreds of simulations are directly compared 

to the experimental data without the use of non-linear least squares fitting prce 

cedures to find the interatomic distances. Instead, each simulation is performed 

with different interatomic distances. The emphasis is on mapping the local and 

global minima and providing a detailed visual picture and error analysis in the 

comparison of alternative structures. The three dimensional structural coordinates 

utilized in the simulations are based on crystal structure models derived from structural databases. Thus, a particular geometry for the metal site is incorporated in 

this choice. Alternative structures with different geometries can also be selected, 

processed, antl compared. This makes the striictural assumptions about the site 

explicit antl they must be justified based on ancillary structural information. Our 

suite of programs (called AUTOFIT 1.0) vary selected bond distances, compare the 

resulting ab initio simulations to the experimental data, arid compute antl plot a 

figure that displays 400-500 alternative solutions simultaneously. These programs are available to outside users free of charge and have been readied for release along 

with a manual for using the code. In addition, wc have recently completed it UNIX 

based version of the code, along with the original PC based version. 
Structural Studies of Optically Rubbed Polymers 

P.A. Heiney, S.S. Ghosh, O.Y. Mindyuk and M. Stetzer (U. of Pennsylvania) 

We have measured the X-ray reflectivity of rubbed polyimide films used for liquid 

crystal alignment. Both mechanically rubbed polyimides and polyimides "rubbed" 

by linearly polarized UV light were examined. The mechanism for liquid crystal 

alignment in the optically rubbed films is still unclear; suggested mechanisms include either the formation of large-scale "ripples" due to anisotropic contraction 

which in turn interact with the liquid crystal, or reorientation of individual polymer molecules. The mechanical rubbing process creates microgrooves on the surface 

of the polyimide film, which on average run parallel to the rubbing direction. These 

grooves result in anisotropic off-specular X-ray reflectivity features. The analysis 

of the specular reflectivities obtained from these films will produce a comparison of 

the roughness associated with both mechanically and optically rubbed films, parallel 

and perpendicular to the rubbing direction. We use specular reflectivity, together 

with the anisotropic character of our resolution function to extract the anisotropy 

in the roughness along the film surface. 

X9B I Coordination of Co (11) Protoporphyrin-Substituted Hemoproteins I X9B I 

C. Lee, E. Scheuring, M. Chance and J. Peisach (AECOM) 

Investigations of Co(II1) porphyrin complexes have in part been motivated by 

their use as models for cobalamin species such as coenzyme BIZ, and in part by their 

reactivity with nucleic acids. Interactions of Co(II1) porphyrins with biomolecules are governed by their axial ligations and no Co(II1) porphyrin complex with a single 

strong field, s-donating axial ligand, such as nitrogen, has been reported. Unlike 

Co(II1) porphyrins, pentacoordinate Fe(II1) porhyrins are found in many hemoproteins and have also been synthesized. For example, the met (oxidized, ferric) form of 

the His64(r)Leu mutant of the oxygen-carrying protein myoglobin [Mb(H64L)] con- tains a pentacoordinate metal with an axial histidine ligand, whereas in the native 

protein, the second axial ligand is a water molecule. No water molecule was found near the metal in the mutant. In this study, Co(II1) protoporphyrin-substituted 

Mb and Mb(H64L) are studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The absorption 

edge energy for both proteins occur near 7729 eV, suggesting that both are hexacoordinate. The sixth ligand of Co(II1)-substituted Mb has been suggested to be 

His64, rather than water as in the Fe(II1) protein. Since neither His64 nor water (presumably) are present in the Co(II1)-substituted mutant, the current results 

are surprising. Further studies are being conducted to identify the sixth ligand in 

Co(II1) Mb(H64L). 
I Biological hIetal Clusters I X9B I 

RI. Maroney, S. Choudhury, C. Allan, Z. Gu, G. Davidson, and K. Bose (University 

of Massachusetts) 

Enzyme and protein active sites containing two or more interacting metal centers 

nom figure prominently in metallobiochemistry. Systems containing metal clusters 

composed of Fe atoms (e.g. ferredoxins. sulfite reductase, hemerythrin: ribonucleotide reductase, methane monooxygenase) ~ Cu atoms (e.g. hemocyanin, tyrosinase, ceruloplasmin, cytochrome oxidase), hIn atoms (photosystem 11, catalase) and more than one element, or heteropolynuclear clusters (e.g. nitrogenase-hIo,Fe: cytochrome oxidase-Fe.Cu; hydrogenase and carbon monositle dehydrogenase-Ni,Fe), 

have been identified. The ultimate goals of this project are to elucidate the structures of metal clusters in metalloproteins, to determine the roles these clusters serve 

in the function of the protein, antl to understand how nature designs a cluster for a 

specific purpose. This knowledge will provide a detailed understanding of biological 

processes antl will aid in the design of pharmaceutical enzyme inhibitors antl catalysts for various reactions. During the current report period, we have completed 

studies comparing the structures of the Ni sites in hydrogenases from six different 

species of bacteria poised in a number of different redox states. These studies reveal 

the overall similarity of the Ni sites, with the exception of the enzyme from Alcaligenes eiitrophus, which undergoes a large change in structure upon redox cycling. 

\Ve also 1iax.e exanlined samples of Chromatiwn vinosiim hytlrogcnasc in eleven tlistinct states. These studies corroborate and extend the previous studies donc on the

X9B EXAFS Characterization of the Zinc Binding Site in CobalaminDependent Methionine Synthase * 

K. Peariso, C.W. Goulding, R.G. Matthews, and J.E. Penner-Hahn (U. of MichiCobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MetH) from E. Coli is an enzyme 

which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to give methionine. Recent studies have shown that the enzyme contains 

1 mol zinc/mol protein [1], and that the zinc cofactor is required for methyl transfer to the homocysteine substrate [a]. We have used EXAFS to characterize the 

zinc binding site in both the native and substrate bound forms of the zinc binding domain, hIetH(2-649). Changes observed in the XANES spectrum between the 

native and substrate bound MetH(2-649) (Fjg. 1) demonstrate that addition of 

homocysteine has a direct effect on the zinc binding site. Fourier transforms of the 

EXAFS (Fig. 2) clearly show an increase in amplitude of the first-shell scattering 

peak, in addition to a sniall shift to longer bond distance in the hIetH(2-649) + 

homocysteine sample. The EXAFS for the LIetH(2-649) were best moclcled with 

l(N/O) at 2.03 A and 3s at 2.32 A, while the hIetH(2-649) + homocysteine were 

best modeled witti a single shell of 4s at 2.36 A [2]. These results suggest that the 

homocysteine substrate binds directly to the zinc cofactor before methyl transfer 

occurs.

I Temporal Speciation of Zinc in Zebrafish (Danio Riro) Embryos * I X9B I I X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Nucleophilic Zn Enzymes I X9B I 

K. Peariso, F. Su, J. Kuwada, J.E. Penner-Hahn (U. of Michigan) 

It has long been recognized that zinc plays a critical role in embryonic development, as evidenced by the teratogenic effects of zinc deficiency. Since the Zebrafish 

embryo develops without an influx of maternal nutrients, it must contain all of the 

zinc (and other necessary trace elements) required for development at the time of 

fertiliation. It has been shown that these embryos contain 1 mM zinc. XANES 

measurements have been made on five stages of Zebrafish embryos spanning the first 

eight hours after fertilization to determine whether changes ocurred in the bulk zinc 

environment during these early stages. Figure 1 shows the absorption differences 

between the XANES spectra of the later stages and the 1-cell, fertilized embryo. 

Based on these difference spectra, it is clear that there are significant changes in the 

bulk zinc environment of the zebrafish embryo during early development. Another 

intriguing result of these measurements is that the changes appear to be cyclic, 

demonstrating large differences in the 128-cell and 30% epiboly stages and very 

small differences in the high and 75% epiboly stages. Efforts are currently being 

focused on determining the type of zinc environment changes that could produce 

such differences and measuring the XANES spectrum of more stages within the first 

eight hours of development to verify the cyclic trend exhibited these measurements. 

J. Penner-Hahn and K. Peariso (U. of Michigan) 

Recent work has revealed the existence of a novel class of Zn enzymes, in which 

the Zn appears to function to activate a coordinated thiolate toward nucleophilic 

attack. X-ray absorption spectroscopy is being used to study three such enzymes 

that are involved in various aspects of methyl transfer: cobalamin-dependent and 

cobalamin-independent methionine synthase and cobamide: coenzyme M methyl 

transferase. EXAFS measurements on the native enzyme, on site directed mutants, 

and on enzyme samples with a variety of substrates and substrate analogs are in 

progress, with the goal of elucidating the three dimensional geometry of the Zn 

active sites.

03 I Temporal Changes in Zn Speciation During Cell Development 

J. Penner-Hahn and K. Peariso (U. of Michigan) 

Zebrafish and Xenopus eggs contain ca. 1 mM Zn. Previous measurements have 

demonstrated that the Zn in these eggs undergoes reproducible, large changes in 

average structure as a function of time after fertilization. XANES measurements are 

being used to characterize these changes with improved temporal resolution. The 

data will be analyzed using the principal component method and selected temporal 

points will be used for EXAFS measurements. 

X9B A Low Angle Diffraction Study of the Structure of the Actomyosin 

Complex; Effects of ADP Binding 

K. Poole, hI. Lorenz, P. Ellison, G. Evans, G. Rosenbaum, P. Boesecke, K.C. 

Holmes, C.R. Cremo (Max Planck Inst.) 

With an atomic model for the actin filament (Holmes et.al. 1990, Nature, 347: 44- 

49; Lorenz et.al. 1995, J. Mol. Biol. 246, 108-119) and the atomic coordinates for 

at least one form of the myosin motor protein (Rayment et.al. 1993, Science261, 50- 

58) we are in a position to make use of high angle fibre diffraction data from myosin 

decorated actin filaments to refine a model structure of the complex. Nucleotide-free 

myosin subfragment-1 (S1) isolated from both chicken skeletal and smooth muscle sources was introduced into overstretched rabbit psoas muscle fibres. In both cases 

the protein binds tightly to actin and this results in the intensification of the actin 

based layer lines in the X-ray pattern. Refining an actomyosin atomic model against 

the nucleotide-free skeletal S1 data produced a best fit which \vas similar to the 

model suggested by Rayment et.al. (1893) based on electron microscope evidence. 

ADP binding had very little effect on the diffraction pattern. The niicleotide-free 

smooth muscle S1 decorated filaments produced a very different diffraction pattern 

and the binding of ADP was shown to induce a structural change in the head 

resulting in a pattern similar to that from skeletal S1 decorated fibres. The Ktl for 

ADP binding was shown to be ca. 2phI. It is most interesting that the two rigor 

complexes are striictiirallv different. If the rigor structure represents the end of the 

power stroke then the data imply that at least some part of the power stroke in 

these two motors is procliiced bv different configuration changes of the actomyosin 

complex. Alternatively, we mist question our interpretation of the rigor structures 

themselves. \Ve are in the process of refining the model against the smooth muscle 

S1 data but it is clear that the ADP induced striictiiral change in the myosin 

head is very large and certainly involves the distal part of the head. Lye interid to 

continue our investigation of the actomyosin motor mechanism by looking at the 

bourrtl structures of myosin motors or parts of motors from different sources, both 

riatural arid engineered, with a range of nucleotides or their analogues in the active 

site.

Escherichia Coli Primase Zinc Structure is Sensitive to the Binding 

of ATP and High Magnesium 

L.S. Powers and M.A. Griep (Utah State U.) 

The structure of the single zinc site in primase from Escherichia coli was studied using X-ray absorption (XAS). XAS provides information about the immediate 

sphere (radius about 5 A) of atoms surrounding the metal and has been widely 

used to characterize metalloproteins. The edge region of the spectrum provides 

information about the chemical identity of the ligating atom and their coordination 

geometry while the extended fine structure provides information about the number 

of ligating atoms and their average distance from the metal. The zinc site in native 

primase was found to be tetrahedrally ligated by three sulfurs at an average distance 

of 2.37 f 0.02 and one histidine nitrogen located at a distance of 2.11 to f 0.02. In 

the zinc site in high magnesium conformation of primase, one sulfur ligand is lost 

and one or two oxygen ligands are gained. Finally, when ATP was added to primase, the zinc site structure was altered to octahedral coordination by three sulfur 

and three oxygen (or nitrogen) ligands, one of which could be a histidine nitrogen. 

These results and others indicate that the primase zinc site is similar to the PMPSremovable and nonessential-site zinc from Escherichia coli RNA polymerase which can also be coordinated by its initiating nucleotide ATP (Wu, F.Y.H., Huang, W.J., 

Sinclair, R.B., Powers, L. Journal of Biological Chemistry 267: 25560-25567, 1992. 

In light of this, the high-magnesium conformation result suggests that high magnesium primase becomes inactive because the zinc is prevented from coordinating 

ATP. 

EXAFS Studies of Nonheme Iron Enzymes X9B 
F I Metal Cluster Active Sites in Protein I X9B I 

L. Que, Jr., L. Shu, X. Wang, K. Chen and S. Mandal (U. of Minnesota) 

Several metalloproteins containing nonheme-iron centers mere investigated in the 

past year. This class includes methane monooxygenase. ribonucleotide reductase, 

and purple acid phosphatase. We have collected and analyzed data on methane 

monooxygenase hydroxylase (MRIOH). XAS analysis of RIAIOH suggests the presence of two Fe-Fe distances of about 3aand 3.4& which are proposed to reflect two 

populations of hIhIOH molecules with either a bis (p-hydroxo) (p-carboxy1ato)- or a 

(p-hvdroxo) (p-carboxylato diiron(II1) core structure. respectively. This novel core 

flexibility is suggested to be required to accommodate the various intermediates in 

the catalytic cycle. A lot of efforts have been made to study the diiron structure 

of the high-valent reactive intermediate Q of hIhIOH. XAS data analysis shows an 

unprecedentedly short Fe-Fe distance of ca. 2.46 A. A similar Fe-Fe distance of 

2.46 Ahas also been observed in intermediate X of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), 

another extensively studies diiron-containing enzyme. These results prompt lis to 

propose a Fez02 diamond core structure in both hIhIO antl RNR catalytic cycle and therefore provide essential evidence for the proposed tlioxygen activating 

rriechanisIns of norilieme iron-containing enzymes. Data was also collected on an 

Fe(III)Zn(II) derivative of the purple acid phosphatase from porcine uterus which 

allows 11s to look at the Fe(II1) aiirl the Zn(I1) sites separately. In the phosphate 

complex of this derivative. the observation of Fe-Z1i antl 11-P (hl=Fe, Zn) distances 

of -3.3 antl 3.2 11, respectively. indicates an FeZn(OR)2 core structure and phosphate is proposed to hirid to the metal center in a britlging mode. Other oxoanions

3 I Thermopphillic Alcohol Dehydrogenases I X9B I 

I. Sagi (Weizmann Institute of Science) 

Interconversion of alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones are essential processes in both 

prokaryotes and karyotes. The oxidoreductases catalyzing these reactions use a variety of different electron acceptors and can be ivided into three main groups: 1) the NAD(P)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases 2) the NAD( P)-independent alcchol dehydrogenases, which use other cofactors for catalysis; and 3. FAD-dependent 

alcohol oxidases. which catalyze irreversible oxidation of alcohols. Thermoanaerobacter (formerly Themoanaerobium) brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH) is a 

medium chain, NADP-linked. class A enzyme that reversibly catalyses the oxidation 

of secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones. 

TBADH 

RC(0H)R’ + NADP ts RC(O)R’ +NADPH 

The ubiquitous alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are found not only in bacteria, 

but also in yeast, plants, insects arid in man. ADH is an oxidorcdiictase, requiring 

either NAD(H) or NADP(H) as a coenzyme, that reacts with primary and secondary, linear and branched-ctiairi, aliphatic and aromatic alcohols and with their 

orresponding aldehydes antl ketones. Althoiigh some ADHs clepcnd on iron for activation and certain ADHs are known to be metal-free, most ADHs contain zinc at 

the active site. Zinc-dependent ADHs are either dimers, usiinlly found in higher 

plants and mammals, or tetramers, siicti as those present in yeast and bacteria. A 

monomeric ADH \vas isolated from Sacchnrom.yces cereiisine. but its metal content 

is yet unknown. 

a) Native TBADH. XAFS data of native TBADH has been collected on zinc 

arid cobalt E;-edges. Ana of ESr\FS antl edge data of rintivc cnzyrne arid its 

metal derivatives will pro the groiind base for ttie assigunient of coordination

TB.IDH-DhISO (dimethyl sulfoxide) complex. DhlSO is known to inhibit ALDH 

in a transition state manner. X-ray crystallography studies of >ALDH-DlISO coniplexes show that the DAIS0 ligand is directly bound to the catalytic zinc ion. XAFS 

and edge data will be collected on native TBADH and Ctl/Co substitutcd TBXDH 

complexed with DLISO. -Issigning the coordination environment arid nietd-ligaIicl 

distances of the active site in TBI-\DH-DSlSO complex will provide ttie structiire of

I EXAFS of the Low Spin Ferric Center of Nitrile Hydratase 1 X9B 1 

R.C. Scarrow, B. Strickler, D. Pringle (Haverford College) and M. Nelson (DuPont) 

We have been continuing our investigations of the low spin iron center in nitrile 

hydratase, in collaboration with Mark Nelson and John Cummings of DuPont, who 

have provided us with frozen protein samples. EXAFS has identified two or three 

sulfur ligands to the iron center, with the remaining ligands being oxygen or nitrogen scatterers. Some minor changes are seen with binding of inhibitors (to the 

enzyme-not necessarily to the iron center) such as phenylhydrazine or isobutyronitrile. We are currently in the process of modelling the EXAFS to give bond length 

distributions to see if this may give insight into the changes which are occuring 

on the binding of these inhibitors. We have also obtained EXAFS data on model 

low spin ferric compounds prepared by Henry Jackson and Prof. Julia Kovacs of 

the Department of Chemistry, University of Washington. These complexes have a 

ligand with a N3S2 donor set and can be prepared as a binary low spin iron (111) 

complex (a rare example of five-coordinate iron (111) or as ternary, six-coordinate 

complexes with a variety of auxilliary ligands including azide and nitric oxide. The 

EXAFS and edge intensities of these complexes are being compared to those of 

nitrile hydratase to gain further insight into the coordination of iron in the enzyme. 

of XAS Data: Structure of the Active Site of Cobalamin Enzymes 

E. Scheuring, M. Chance (AECOM), R. Banerjee, and R. Padmakumar (U. of 

Nebraska) 

The two available crystallographic structures of cobalamin dependent enzymes, 

the 27 kDa fragment of the methylcobalamin-dependent enzyme, methionine synthase, from Escherichia coli [C. L. Drennan et al. Science, 266, 1669 (1994)l and 

the 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase from Propionibacterium shermanii [F. Mancia et al. Structure,4, 339 (1996)], 

show striking similarities despite the differences in reaction mechanism. In particular, the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole group is detached and replaced by a histidine 

group of the enzyme. Here we present an analysis of Extended X-ray Absorption 

Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectroscopic data for both 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin 

and aquocobalamin bound to methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase in the absence of 

substrate. The analysis is conducted with a suite of programs called AUTOFIT 1.0 

[Chance et al., Biochemistq, 1996, 35, 90141, which allows an evenhanded com- parison of the goodness-of-fit of the EXAFS data to a varied grid of simulations 

based on the ab initio EXAFS code FEFF 6.01. The x-ray edge data indicate an increase in effective nuclear charge of the metal ion of the enzyme bound 5’- 

deoxyadeonsylcobalamin compared to the corresponding free cobalamin and the 

EXAFS results show small decreases in equatorial and no significant change in the 

Co-C bond length (despite the potential elongation of the Co-N(His) bond) upon 

cofactor binding to the enzyme. Thus, the change in coordination of the nitrogenous axial ligand engineered by the enzyme does not significantly contribute to a 

trans effect in the ground state. Weakening of the Co-C bond must be initiated by 

substrate binding. In addition, the global mapping technique resolves discrepancies 

between previous EXAFS results and crystallographic data on aquocobalamin. 
4j I Structure and Thermally Induced Failure of Organic LEDs * I XlOB I CD

P. Fenter, F. Schreiber, V. BuloviC and S. R. Forrest (Princeton Univ.) 

Organic light emitting devices (OLED) represent a new basis for light emissive flat 

panel displays. IVe have used x-ray reflectivity to study the structure and thermal 

degradation mechanism of films and heterostructures consisting of the archetype 

molecular OLED materials, "TPD", and "Alq3" which were grown on Si wafers by 

thermal evaporation under high vacuum 11. The x-ray specular reflectivity of three 

thin film structures is shown in Fig. 1 t thin and bold lines are experimental data 

and theoretical fits, respectively). These include (i) TPD on Si, (ii) Alq3 on Si. 

and (iii) .41q3/TPD on Si. The derived the electron density profiles (shown in Fig. 

lb), reveal interface roughnesses of <4.SA&. In Fig. IC we show the one-dimensional 

Patterson map for each sample. For the TPD and Alq3 films, a single peak is 

found corresponding to the film thickness, L(TPD)=306& and L(Alq3)=577A, 

while the Alq3/TPD heterostructure shows three components corresponding to 

L(TPD)=296A, L(Alq3)=518,4, antl a total film thickness of L(TPD+Alq3)=813X. 

Since the position and intensity of each peak in Fig. IC is directly related to the 

layer thicknesq and the interfacial density discontinuities, respectively. they prcvide a direct antl niotlel-iritlepeiitlerit means of characterizing the therrnally induced 

failure mechanism of the rnultilayer device system. Our results indicate that the 

thermally indiiced failure of the Alq3/TPD heterostructure is driven by tlie large 

thermal expansion coefficient of TPD (independently measured for the TPD fihii), 

above its glass transition temperature of 60°C. This thermal expansion is foiiiitl to 

induce a strain in the Alq3/TPD lieterostructure, and which drives an inhornogeneoiis strain relief process (e.g., blistering). [l] P. Fenter. F. Schreiber. V. Bulovid

1 XlOB 1 Surface X-ray Diffraction Studies of Monolayers of w-alkenethiol on 

Au(ll1) * 

T.Y.B. Leung, P.Fenter, F.Schreiber, P.Eisenberger and G.Scoles (Princeton U.) 

We have carried out a surface x-ray diffraction study on monolayers (SAhIs) 

of a series of thiols w-substituted with the ethylene group, CHz=CH(CHz),-zSH 

[hereafter abbreviated as C,], assembled on the (111) face of single crystal gold. 

Using the self-assembly approach, we have successfully prepared and characterized 

this system and found that the ethylene endgroups are well-ordered. The thermal 

behavior of the films was also investigated. Films of thiols on gold are of technologically and scientific importance for several reasons. First of all, they have 

been extensively studied in the last two decades, antl their potential after chemical 

derivatization has been explored in various technological applications. [ 11 In order to 

have a molecular control and tailor the properties of these functionalized SAMs, a 

detailed understanding of the impact of the endgroups onto tlie properties antl the 

monolayer structures is needed. Studying the impact of the endgroups reveals the 

erergetic interplay in the self-assembly process. For the particular system presented 

here, we are also conducting a parallel study on the stereo-dependence of the reac- tivity of the ethylenic group, which is one of the most important functional groups 

in industrial chemistry. 

iVe have conducted a series of surface x-ray diffraction studies on films made 

with molecules where n=9,10,11,17 and 18. The unit mesh of these monolayers 

was found to be the same as that of the n-alkanethiol SAhIs on goltl(ll1). It can 

be described as a c(4JS x 2J3)R30°C lattice.[2] However, while the tilt angles of 

Clo.Cl; antl CIS were foiintl to lie the same as those of SAilIs of alkanethiol of the same chain length, their tilt directions were found to differ somewhat from those of 

alkanethiol SALls. For C~X monolayers, (the system for which the largest difference was found) tlie tilt tliection is rotated away by 1-1.1" 5 2.8' with respect to the 

next-nearest-tieigl~bor(NNN direction while from an earlier stiidy, this value had 

resulted to be 8.2" f 0.:j0.[2 I An interesting antl rather siirprising finding is that the 

tilt direction of the otltl-chain inonlayers C1; is smaller than that of C~X arid it is 

rotated only by .5.0" * 2.9" with respect ot the NNN direction.the observation may 

be explained by an otltl/even effect in x-x interaction of the ethylene endgroiips. 

The thermal properties and the chain length clepcndcnce of the thrrnial proprrties of 

these fnnctionalized monolayers were also investigated and found to he xqv similar 

to those of alkanethiol monolayers. [3] In conclusion, the inipact of the ethylene as endgroups in the self-assernbled monolayers of thiol on gold was found to Iic srnall. 

\Ye have also shown that a well-ordered "layer" of ethylene functional groups can be 

made via self-assembly. In future. we plan to explore the stereoreactivity of these 

films with beams of atomic oxygen impinging on these surface at variable angles 

antl variable energies.

XllA Local Structure of DiluteTernary 3d Transition Metal Dopants in 

Ni3A1 * 

M. Balasubramanian, R. Lyver, J. I. Budnick and D. M. Pease (U. of Connecticut) 

We have utilized the technique of XAFS to study the local structural order 

of 3d transition metal (TM) ternary dopants (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) in 

Ni75TMZA125-,. In y' - NisA1, the first shell around A1 consists of 12 Ni atoms. 

Ni is surrounded by 8 Ni and 4 A1 atoms. In all cases dopant K-edge XAFS results 

show only Ni backscattering contribution in the first peak of the Fourier transform. 

A1 backscattering contribution is either completely absent or is so weak that it is 

masked by the strong dopant-Ni bond [l]. The number of Ni near neighbors suggests that for Ti, V, Cr, Mn and Fe absorbers, a majority of the dopants occupy 

the A1 sublattice. However, even in the case of Co dopants where studies by others 

indicate that the Co atoms occupy the Ni sublattice, no A1 backscattering contribution can be detected. A model [2] based on a highly distorted A1 sublattice, 

created by dopant atoms occupying the Ni sublattice, gives a possible explanation 

for the absence of A1 backscattering contributions, and furnishes an explanation for 

similar studies by others in ternary doped y' - NZsA1. These investigations are of 

importance in understanding the effect of dopants on the mechanical properties of 

such alloys.

I Co-deposition of Cobalt Disilicide on Silicon-Germanium Thin Films I XllA I 

P. Goeller (No. Carolina State U.) 

The formation of CoSis on strained epitaxial Si0.~Ge~.z/Si(100) films has been 

studied as a function of the depositoin method and annealing temperature. Tivo 

types of deposition processes were used: a direct method, where 5 nm of pure Co 

metal were deposited at room temperature onto a strained 80 nm thick Sio.sGeo.2 

layer; and a co-deposition method, where 5 nm Co and 18.2 nm Si were simultaneously deposited in a 1:2 ratio onto a strained Sio.gGeo.2 layer at 450 C. Samples mere then annealed at temperatures ranging from 500 to 800 C. EXAFS and XRD 

mere used to characterize the structure of the resulting films. It xvs found that 

the samples prepared via the direct tlepositon method did not convert to CoSiz 

at any annealing temperature up to 800 C, while the cc-deposited samples formed 

epitaxial CoSin at even the lowest annealing temperature of 500 C. These rcsults 

are discussed in terms of proposed reaction mechanisms of the different deposition 

methotls. based on consideration of the Co-Si-Ge ternary phase diagram.

I XllA I Stability of Heavy-Metal Sulfides During Oxidation of Contaminated 

Soil from a Superfund Site 

P. D. Hansen, D. Hesterberg, W. Zhou, and D. E. Sayers (NC State) 

The long-term stability of solid-phase heavy-metal species in soils depend on their 

resistance to changes in the soil chemical environment. The objective of this study was to determine how exposure to oxidizing conditions affected the speciation of 

Cu, Zn, and Pb contaminants in samples of reduced soil from a Superfund site in the 

eastern coastal plain of North Carolina. EXAFS analyses of Cu, Zn, and Pb were done at Beamline X-11A on preserved samples collected from four depth intervals 

(zones) in the soil profile of a waste-disposal site at the Marine Corps Air Station 

in Cherry Point, NC. Subsamples of this soil were used in a column-flow study 

to measure metal dissolution under changing redox conditions. After 1 month of 

continuous exposure to aerated aqueous solution, the soil columns were dismantled 

and analyzed using EXAFS spectroscopy. The samples contained 1,100 to 1,800 

mg Cu/kg, 4,300 to 11,000 mg Zn/kg, and 1,700 to 4,100 mg Pb/kg. EXAFS data 

showed that metals in the soil samples from Zone 1 (0 to 20 cm depth) and Zone 

2 (23 to 47 cm) were predominantly bonded to oxygen in the first shell (Cu-0, 

Zn-0, and Pb-0 bonding). In the Zone 3 (47 to 73 cm) and Zone 4 (73 to 101 

cm; the shallow groundwater zone), there was evidence for metal-sulfides for all 

three metals, with CuS being the dominant Cu phase (Fig. 1). After the column 

treatment with oxygenated CaC12 solution, the proportion of metal-sulfides was 

essentially unchanged, indicating that these minerals were resistant to oxidative 

dissolution during the course of the column study. A loss of acid volatile sulfide 

(sulfides converted to hydrogen sulfide gas by an acid treatment) during the column 

experiment may have helped to stabilize the heavy-metal sulfides, despite the redox 

potential increasing from -200 to +50 mV (at pH 7.5). The results indicate that 

the metal sulfides in the deeper zones of the contaminated soil would be resistant 

to dissolution during short periods of increased redox potential.

XAFS Study of Copper Binding with a Sulfur-Rich Humic Acid 

D. Hesterberg, D. E. Sayers, W. Zhou, and K. Hutchison (NC State U.) 

I XllA 

The geochemical transformation of heavy metal contaminants into unique mineral phases and adsorbed chemical species in different soil environments is critically 

important for understanding the long-term stability and fate of these contaminants. 

Past studies showed that with increasing concentration of certain transition metals 

bound to soil humic acid (HA), the metal binding affinity decreased. Humic acid is a purified extract of organic matter that typically contains an abundance of reactive 

carboxylic and phenolic acid functional groups and lesser amounts of nitrogen (e.g., 

amine) and sulfur (e.g., thiol) groups. The objective of this research was to determine whether Cu(I1) preferentially binds to sulfur groups in HA at low adsorbed 

metal concentrations. A sulfur-rich HA extracted from a soil in a coastal marine 

wetland was reacted with Cu(I1) at pH 5.6 in aqueous background solutions of 0.1 

M NaCl or 0.1 M NaN03. The molar ratio of organic S-to-metal was 4.25, and the 

total Cu concentration in the suspension was 2 mmol/kg. Sulfur K-XANES data 

from NSLS Beamline X-19A indicated that about half of the organic sulfur in the 

samples was in a reduced oxidation state (-11). Copper K-EXAFS spectra showed 

no evidence for first-shell Cu-S bonding, but Cu bonding was primarily to oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Despite the chalcophilic nature of Cu(II), it does not appear to 

preferentially bind to organic S groups under the experimental conditions used. This 

result suggests that our past observations of Cu-S bonding in samples of reduced soil 

collected from contaminated sites primarily represents inorganic Cu-sulfide species.

The sequestering of potentially-toxic heaw metals as insoluble sulfide minerals 

under reduced soil conditions may reduce metal mobility and bioavailability. The 

objective of this study was to determine whether injection of dilute HzS(g) into a 

contaminated soil induced the formation of Cu- and Pb-sulfide minerals. The H*S(g) 

remediation treatment was originally designed to reduce Cr(V1) to Cr(II1) in soil; 

however, sequestering of heavy metals as sulfides may also be beneficial in certain 

soils. A column of soil material from the Chemical 1l7aste Landfill at Sandia National 

Laboratory \vas treated in the laboratory with a mixture of 0.01% (v/v) H*S(g) in 

Na(g). The sample contained 20 niniol Cu/kg, 18G mmol Pb/kg, antl 208 nimol 

Fe/kg. XAFS analyses were done at Beamline X-11A on untreated and treated 

soil samples to determine changes in local molecular bonding of Cu(II), Pb(I1). and 

Fe(II1) induced by the treatment. Copper(I1) was converted from a predominantly 

1st-shell oxygen-bonded solid phase to CuS. Although the saniple contained con- siderably more Pb(I1) and Fe(III), the HzS(g) treatment had no discernible effect 

on the 1st-shell Ph-0 and Fe(II1)-0 bonding structures of these metals. Results were consistent with the greater thermotlynarnic stability of CiiS relative to PbS 

antl FeS. This stiitly demonstrates tlie utility of XAFS for evaliiating the s~iccess of 

in-situ renietliatiori treatnients tlesignetl to chemically alter rontaminant,s in place.

Electrocatalysis of Methanol and CO Oxidation: An In situ XAS I Study * 

S. Mukerjee and J. hlcBreen (BNL) 

Elements such as Ru and Sn used as ad-atoms or as alloying elements are known to 

enhance methanol and CO oxidation. Unlike Ru, enhancement due to Sn additions 

depend on the nature of interaction of Sn with Pt. Pt alloyed with Sn is marginally 

active for methanol oxidation in contrast to upcl Sn ad-atoms on Pt, but shorn 

good activity for CO oxidation. In situ XAS studies at the Pt Lz edge for Pt/C 

shows that adsorption of hydrogen, oxygenated species and methanol oxydation 

products (CO and CHO poisons) induce major changes in the Pt L edge XAS. 

This is evident from the changes in the white line in at 0.0, 0.54 and 0.84 V in 

the presence of 1 AI HCI0.t + 0.3 hI hIeOH. (see J. Electrochem. Soc.,143, 2285 

(1996) antl J. Electroanal. Chem (In Press) for more details. In contrast to this 

the Pt L3 edge white line for PtRu/C and PtSn/C show very little variation with 

potential. Alloying of Ru and Sn to Pt however have very different effects on their 

electronic and geometric characteristics. In tlie case of Ru a increased white line 

(higher Pt d band vacancy) and shorter Pt-Pt bond distance is affected in contrast 

to alloying with Sn. XANES at the Sn antl Ru K edges in PtRu/C antl PtSn/C 

alloys as well as uptl Sn on Pt/C however provide clear evidence of the presence 

of oxygenated species even at 0.0 V. The strength and nature of these species are 

however potential dependent. For upd Sn on Pt/C, the XANES at the Pt La edge in 

1 11 FICI0.t shows behavior similar to those observed previously in the case of Pt/C 

(see ref. l), a congriience of white lines for sample and Pt reference foil at 0.54 V 

(double layer region). This together with the EXAFS results indicate that uptl Sn 

does riot significantly eKect the electronic antl structural charaterist,ics of Pt. Thc 

higher Pt d band vacancy, shorter Pt-Pt bond distances in the PtRu/C together 

with the presenre of oxygenated species on Rii help explain the higher activity for 

methanol arid CO oxidation. The opposite effects on Pt in PtSn alloy help explain 

its lack of AIeOH activity. In the case of uptl Sn the Pt remains tinaffected. that 

together with the presence of oxygenated species on Sn ad-atoms at lower potentials 

hclp cxplain the enhanced methanol oxidation activity.

XllA An XAS Study of Corrosion Characteristics in ABSType Metal Hydride Electrodes * 

S. Mukerjee, J. McBreen, J.J. Reilly, J.R. Johnson and G.D. Adzic (BNL) 

The cycle life characteristics of AB5 alloys depend primarily on the extent of its 

susceptibility to stress cracking due to volume expansion and contraction during 

hydriding. However, several alloy substituents such as Ce, Co etc., and presence of 

zincate in the electrolyte helps improve cycle life without having a direct correlation 

with changes in volume expansion/cycle. This investigation is aimed at correlating 

the structural and cycle life characteritics of various AB5 type alloys with the corrosion of constituent elements in these alloys such as Ni, Co, Mn and Fe. The focus 

however has been on the Ni due to its relative abundance and catalytic importance 

in the alloy. Surface (electron yield) and bulk averaged (transmission) XAS were conducted on the electrodes before and after electochemical cycling (150 cycles). 

The powders used as a part of this study were peractivated in the gas phase to 

ensure particle sizes 2-5 micro-meters. The electron yield mode probed the first 

200-250 angstroms of the surface based on the more energetic KLL Auger electrons 

with 6.5 KeV electrons at the Ni K edge. 

EFFECT OF Ce SUBSTITUTION 

Ce substitiution in the A component of the prototype LaNis alloy results in 

reduction of corrosion of the substituent elements such as Ni and hence in lower 

build up of surface Ni(0H)Z. This was evidenced from comparison of the white 

lines of the Ni K edge XAS in the transmission mode for electrode as a function 

of cycling. Comparison of the electron yield and transmission spectra at the Ni 

K edge after 150 cycles for sample with and without Ce showed very little surface 

build up of Ni(0H)z in the Ce containing sample in contrast to those without Ce 

substitution. Independent measurements using in situ scanning vibrating electrode 

technique have shown that Ce passivates the surface reducing surface corrosion. 

EFFECT OF Co SUBSTITUTION 

Co substitution causes lowering of the molar volume of hydrogen and hence a 

reduction in stress cracking of the alloy. The Co K edge XANES in the electron 

yield and transmission modes have also revealed a build up of the more conducting 

Co(0H)z on the surface of the electrode negating the effects of resistive build up of 

surface Ni(0H)Z. 

EFFECT OF ZINCATE CONTAINING ELECTROLYTE 

The presence of ZnO in the electrolyte results in significant imporovement of the 

cycle life in non Ce substituted samples. This translates itself to lower Ni corrosion 

and build up of Ni(0H)z in these samples as evidenced from the electron yield 

and transmission XANES. In the Ce substituted samples the effect is marginal and 

agrees with significantly smaller increases in the cycle life.

I Local Structure of Br in Brominated-YBCO * I XllA 1 

D. Potrepka, M. Balasubramanian, J. Budnick and D. Fenner (U. of Connecticut) 

Bromination of deoxygenated YBCO leads to a partial restoration of superconductivity and causes the YBCO lattice to change from a non-superconducting tetragonal structure to an orthorhombic structure [1,2]. In order to understand the 

mechanism by which superconductivity is restored in these materials it is of interest to understand the local structural properties of Br atoms in the YBCO lattice. 

Neutron diffraction measurements suggest that Br atoms occupy vacant O(4) sites 

in the YBCO lattice [2]. Unfortunately, these experiments are hampered by the 

similarity in the neutron scattering lengths of oxygen and Br. We have performed 

low-temperature (11 K) Br K-edge XAFS measurements in brominated-YBCO and 

find that Br does not occupy the YBCO lattice but rather precipitates out as small 

BaBrz-like particles. In conjunction with Cu NQR measurements our results indicate that on bromination the system undergoes an oxygen redistribution within the 

YBCO lattice. This redistribution probably causes the restoration of superconductivity in these materials [3].

Local Coordination of Ba and Pb in Calcite from XAFS Spectroscopy 

R.J. Reeder (SUNY at Stony Brook) and G.M. Lamble (LBNL) 

XAFS spectra at the Pb L(II1)-edge and the Ba K-edge of Pb- and Ba-doped 

calcite (CaC03) were analyzed to reveal that Pb(I1) antl Ba(I1) both substitute 

for Ca in the unique octahedral metal site in the corner-shared calcite structure. 

First-shell Pb-0 and Ba-0 distances are very similar to those predicted for sixfold 

coordination. however, sixfold coordination for both ions is considered rare because 

of their large sizes and preference for higher coordination mimber. For example. 

PbC03 arid BaC03 both have the aragonite structure. in which the metal is ninefold 

coordinated. Fits for higher shells indicate that the local environment is significantly 

distorted around the Ph(I1) antl Ba(I1) octahedra in the calcite. The dilation of tlie 

local structiire is proportional to their ionic radii, but Pb-Ca and Ba-Ca distances 

indicate that the dilation is also highly localized, and most likely accommotlated by 

rotation of rigid structural units. 

Previoiis work has stiomn that Pb and Ba impurities are incorporated differentially between surface sites that are structiirally distinct because of the position and 

orientation at which they are exposed on growth surfaces of calcit,e. The present 

observations tlerrioristratc that despite differences in surface site preferences these 

large impurity species occupy a unique site in the bulk. The distortion associated 

with the incorporated metals may affect the stability (and sohibilitv) of the solid in 

the natural environment.

Kinetics and Mechanisms of Trace Metal Sorption at the illineral/Mrater Interface: A Time-Resolved Study XllA 

A thorough understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of metal sorption on soil mineral surfaces is critical in determining the fate. mobility, speciation and 

bioavailability of metals in aqueous and soil environments. XAFS spectroscopy was 

used to monitor changes in the local structural environment of Ni and Pb sorbed on 

clay minerals, metal oxides, and the clay fraction of a soil with increasing reaction 

time. 

XAFS data analysis revealed the appearance of multiniiclear Ni complexes in the 

Ni/pyrophyllite and Ni/gibbsite systems, as shown by the second peak representing 

the second Ni coordination shell at R E 2.8A in the radial structure functions (Fig. 

la,h), after a reaction the of minutes and honrs. These results suggest that adsorption and nucleation processes (mixed Ni/AI hydroxide phase formation) can occur 

simultaneously over time scales of onlv minutes. As reaction time progressed. the 

number of second neighbor Ni atoms (Nnr2--.\r2) at a distance of 3.05>\ increased 

(N.v--.v~ = 1.7-5.1 for Ni/pyrophyllite and Nivr-.y, = 1.5-5.5 for Ni/gibbsite). 

With montmorillonite, a mixed Ni/Al hydroxide phase did riot form until after 

48 h id the pliase continued to grow with increasing reaction time. Although 

riot shown, mixed cation hytlroxide phases also occurred on the soil clay siirface 

in minutes. With Ni. oiir study suggests that three pheriornenn occur at tlie rnineral/liqiiitl interface: (1) non specific (i.e.. outer-sphere complexation) and/or specific adsorption (i.e., inner-sphere complexation), (2) tlissoliitiori of iZ1. (perhaps the 

rate-limiting step) arid (3) micleation of a mixed Ni/Al phase. 

\frliile Pb sorption on Ininera1 surfaces resiilts in similar tiriie-tlcpendent behavior. 

the retention mecharrisrns are different. Slow iiiicleat,iori reactions can be riiletl oiit 

because analysis of the radial striictiire fiinctiori (Fig. 2) does riot exhibit any major 

features (e.g., second peaks indicative of secoritl shell neighbors) beyo~id the primikry 

Pb-0 structiiral peak at zl.Rt\ (uncorrected for phase shifts) with long incubation 

times (Fig. 2). The biphasic sorption behavior observed with Ph may be related to 

retention on sites of variable reactivity and/or tliffiision limited sorption.

1 Interface Stability of Titanium/Silicon on 6H Sic-(0001) * I XllA I EXAFS Studies of Sol-gel Processed KTN and PZT 

A. J. Stoltz, B. I. Boyanov, D. E. Sayers, and R. J. Nemanich (NCSU) 

XllA 

EXAFS spectroscopy was used to study the interface stability of sequentally 

deposited titanium and silicon on silicon carbide 6H (0001). Silicon and titanium 

layers were deposited using a solid source electron beam evaporation system in 

UHV. All samples were annealed at 500"C, 600°C or 700°C in-situ in UHV. EXAFS 

measurements were performed ex-situ at the Ti-K edge, 4966 eV, in total electron 

yield mode. In samples where only Ti was deposited on Sic, titanium remained 

mostly unreacted at 500 "C and 600 "C and formed Tic and Ti rich silicide at 

700 "C (Fig. la). When a sacrificial Si layer was deposited between the Sic and 

Ti, a TiSia (C49)-like structure was formed even after annealing at 500 "C. The 

formation of C49 TiSiz is complete at 700 "C (Fig. lb). 

Sol-gel routes are widely used for the preparation of electroactive ceramics such as 

KTN (KTa,Nbl-,Os)and PZT (PbZr,Til-,03). While it is often stated that this 

approach delivers compositionally homogeneous solid solutions, in principle, this 

need not be the case. We have examined a series of KTN and PZT samples using 

EXAFS at the Nb K, Ta LIII, Zr K, and Pb LIII edges. A preliminary analysis 

of the data collected for the KTN samples indicates that EXAFS is a sensitive 

probe of the compositional homogeneity of the solid solution and that the nature of 

the sol-gel procedure used to prepare the samples does influence the compositional 

homogeneity of the solid solution. Further data analysis is in progress and additional 

experiments are planned.

A Tunable Laue/Bent-Laue lLIonochromator with Fixed Second 

Crystal for Synchrotron Radiation * 

Z. Zhong, G. Le Duc (NSLS), D. Chapman (CSRRI, IIT), and 1%'. Thomlinson 

A Laue/bent-Laue two crystal monochromator has been developed for producing a monochromatic x-ray fan beam with energy tunable over a wide range by adjusting the angle of only the first flat Laue crystal. Bending the second crystal increases 

the feflection bandwidth. making the the monochromator very stable against vibrations. The monochromator was tuned to above and below the K edge of indium 

at the X12A beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source for dual energy 

subtraction imaging. 

The principle for the tunable monochromator is shown in Fig.1. The two crystals 

are in non-dispersive geometry. The second crystal is strongly bent cvlintlricallv 

with bending radius pz in the order of one meter. When the distance s between 

the crystals is chosen to satisfy: s = + cos(x Hm), the beam will he reflected by 

the second crystal for a wide range of energy defined by the Bragg angle of the first 

crystal. Thus tuning of beam energy can be achieved by acljustment of the first 

crystal. 

With the first crystal tuned to reflect a beam of 27.94 keV, the angle of the second 

crystal was scanued, Fig.2 shows the rocking curves obtained this way for different 

beam vertical height It is seen that for beam vertical sizes less than 0.6 nim, there 

exists a flat plateau n the rocking curves. The witltli of the platcan is n good

X12B The Structure Determination of Murine Cytosolic Epoxide Hydrolase 

AI. Argiriadi and D. Christianson (U. of Pennsylvania) 

Cytosolic epoxide hydrolase's primary function is proposed to be the the hydrol-ytic cleavage of epoxides to yield vicinal trans diols in the liver cells. This 

is a critical mammalian detoxification mechanism. eg.. epoxides might otherwise 

modify protein and/or DNA targets in the cell. They also play a role in the formation or degradation of endogenous chemical mediators. A structure determination 

of this enzyme might render a better understanding of how particular toxins are 

metabolized and possibly how cytosolic epoxide hydrolase maintains steady state 

levels of physiological mediators. Several trips were niatle to the Brookhaven synchroton. During these trips. native cytosolic epoxide hydrolase crystals mere tested 

which diffracted to 2.8 A with Rsyms of G.O%. In comparison, data collected at 

the University of Pennsylvania diffracted to 4.0 A resolution at best. On our most 

recent trip to Brookhaven, heavv metal derivatized crystals were tested. ,4 3.5 i\ ( 

Riso = 15% ) iiranium derivative TEC~ obtained currently bringing the total to three. 

Preliminary electron density maps have been calculated; however. at this stage they

X-Ray Structural Studies on OspB, an Immunogenic Outer Surface 

Protein of the Bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, the Causative Agent 

of Lyme Disease. 

M. Becker, B. Lade, H. Kycia, J.J. Dunn, C.L. Lawson (BNL) and B.J. Luft, 

(SUNY at Stony Brook) 

OspB and OspA are lipoproteins expressed on the surface of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi when the bacteria is dormant in the midgut of a host tick. Each 

have been shown to ellicit an immunologic response in infected humans, and both are of interest for developing a vaccine against the disease. Recently, the structure of OspA has been solved in complex with an antibody Fab fragment [Li, H., 

Dunn, J.J., Luft, B. J., and Lawson, C.L. Proc.Nat.Acad.Sci. USA 94, 3584-3589.1. 

The molecule has an unusually long free-standing anti-parallel 0- sheet, as well as a putative binding-site for an unknown ligand in the C-terminal domain. Though 

OspB is highly homologous to OspA, one significant difference is that certain Fabs 

directed at the C-terminal domain of OspB are bactericidal, even in the absence of 

complement [Coleman, J.L. et al. (1992) Infec. Immun. 60, 3098-3104; Sadziene, 

A. et al. (1994) Infec.Immun. 62, 2037-2045.1. The 15.6 kDa C-terminal domain 

of OspB has been cloned, overexpressed, purified, and crystallized in 2 forms. One 

crystal form has space group C2221 with cell constants a = 30.8 p\, b = 51.7 A, and 

c = 158.8 A, and contains 1 molecule in the asymmetric unit. Diffraction has been 

observed to at least 1.6-p\resolution at synchrotron beamline X12C of the NSLS, 

and a data set has been collected with 90% completeness, high redundancy, and an 

Rmerge of 6.3% to 2.0-Aresolution at 10 "C at beamline X12B. Molecular replacement using MERLOT and XPLOR with a search model based on a homology model 

to the OspA C-terminus has been used to locate the monomer in the asymmetric 

unit, but the details of the current model of the OspB C-terminus are unsatisfactory, particularly at the crystallographic interface formed between the artificially 

truncated molecules. A second crystal form grown in the presence of tungstate has 

the space group P21212 with similar but significantly different axial lengths of a = 

167.7 k, b = 30.2 A, and c = 50.8 A. These crystals diffract similarly well, and a 

data set has been collected at X12C to a resolution of 2.2 A with a completeness 

of 83% and a merging R factor of 6.3% by cooling the crystal to 100 K and using 

radiation at the anomolous peak of tungstate. The anomolous difference Patterson 

reveals a 6-0 peak, indicating that tungstate is specifically bound in the crystal, and 

the Patterson also reveals that these crystals are pseudo-centered. We are currently 

aiming to collect a full MAD data set at the tungstate edge to provide independant 

phasing information to solve the structures.

I X-Ray Structure of A Six-Finger TGIIIA-DNA Complex 

R.S. Brown, R. T. Nolte, R.M. Conlin and S. C. Harrison (HHMI, Children's 

Hospital Harvard U.) 

The complex containing six zinc fingers of the transcription factor TFIIIA bound 

to 31 base-pairs of the 5s rRNA gene promoter crystallizes in a triclinic form. 

We have successfully determined the structure of this complex at 3.1 angstroms 

resolution. The zinc fingers recognize DNA in two different ways. Fingers 1-2-3 wrap 

as a unit in a continuous fashion around the major groove of DNA. This mode of 

binding has been seen in other zinc finger-DNA X-ray structures. In contrast, fingers 

4-5-6 extend along the DNA crossing the minor-major-minor grooves respectively. 

This structure shows how TFIIIA can recognize several separated DNA sequences 

using fewer fingers than necessary for continuous winding in the major groove. 

Triclinic crystals (space group P1) grow as thin plates and diffract weakly. Collection of an X-ray data set takes more than three weeks with a conventional rotating 

anode source. Using the X12-B beam line at NSLS we were able to obtain data 

sets in 24 hours from single frozen crystals. The presence of 12 zinc atoms in the 

unit cell provided an opportunity to use anomalous diffraction as a means to locate 

them. Data were collected at the Zn K-edge using a wavelength of 1.283 angstroms 

at X12-B with a MAR image plate. The positions of all of the zinc atoms in the 

TFIIIA-DNA complex were found in the anomalous Fourier map. These metal sites 

indicate the correct path and fold of the polypeptide chain.

Real-Time Small Angle X-ray Scattering Study of Isotactic 

Poly( propylene) 

P. Dai, G. Georgiev. and P. Cebe (Tufts U.),and N. Capel (BNL) 

Crystallization and melting of isotactic poly(propylene), iPP, has been studied 

using real-time small angle X-ray scattering. The iPP used in this study is an 

experimental product of Hoechst, and was prepared using homogeneous transition 

metal catalysts (metallocenes). This preparation results in a very narrow molecular 

weight distribution, with hlw/hln = 2.3, and hIw = 335,500. 

iVe isothermally crystallized iPP by first, melting at 200°C for 2 min. then cooling to 124.5C or 117°C at .5"C/min, and holding at this temperature for various 

time. SAXS data were collected during crystallization arid subsequent heating. 

Data were corrected for: sample absorption, chauges in incident beam intensity, 

background subtraction, antl thermal density fluctuations. The latter correction 

was performed by subtraction of the slope of the linear region at high s. in the 

Is4 vs. s4 plot. Sample-to-detector distance was 1.751n arid was determined using 

cholesterol myristate antl collagen fiber. X-ray wavelength was 1.54 kl, and intensity 

was collected with an integration time of 30 sec. 

Analysis of the corrected intensity was done using ttie one-dimensional electron 

density correlation function, where the density variation was assiimetl to occur along a direction norrnal to the coherently scattering stacks of lamellar crystals. 

Long period, Ianiellar thickness, and linear crystallinity of the lamellar stacks were 

calciilated from the correlation function. iVe find that the long period (distance 

between arl,jaccmt larnellae) decreases tlliring isothernial crystallization at 117°C or 

124.5"C. Upon reheating, long pcriod increases tlraniatically as the meltirig region

I hIechanica1 Behavior of Novel Block Copolymer Morphologies I X12B I 

B.J. Dair (LIIT), E.L. Thomas (hlIT), h1.C. Capel (NSLS) 

Novel cubic phases have recently been discovered in copolymer systems. including 

the ordered tricontinuous double gyroid (DG). DG conforms to the symmetries of 

the Ia3d space group and has a tricontinuous, triply periodic structure, whereby 

two non-intersecting networks of the minority phase are embedded in the majority. 

Recently we have identi- fied and obtained triblock copolymers which form cubic 

morphologies, opening up the possibility of investigating the mechanical properites 

of these new morphologies. At X12B, we investigate the large strain mechanical 

properites of styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymers with DG morphology. 

Tensile samples were prepared from macroscopically oriented. near-single-crystal 

sheets of DG. which were protliiced via roll- cast processing and annealing. In-situ 

X-ray patterns, along with simultaneous load-deformation curves, were taken as specimens were loaded in uniaxial tension. Due to the resultirig long-range order, 

such saniples are mechanically anisotropic and scatter anisotropically. Hence, a 

stiidv of the deformation behavior of this structure via SAX requires the use of a 

2-dimensional detector, and particularly that at X12B. 
1 X12B I Glutamine Synthetase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis: Aim Toward Drug Discovery 

2.1 A Structure of the Complex Between Active Ras and The Ras- ~25, 

Interacting Domain of an Effector RalGDS I Xl2Bl 

H. Gill and D. Eisenberg (UCLA) 

Tuberculosis (TB) has re-emerged as a gobal health concern. Previous studies 

have indicated that Glutamine Synthetase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the 

pathogen behind the disease TB, may be involved in a novel role via its secretion 

from the organism (Harth et al., 1994). Secreted GS is an attractive target for drugs, 

because the drugs need not penetrate the thick cellular envelope of Mycobacteria 

in order to combat the disease. We have set out to elucidate the structure of TBGS as part of the goal to find a drug to selectively inhibit TB-GS over human 

GS. Synchrotron radiation was a necessary part of this process. As illustrated in 

Figure 1, approximately 2.6 million reflections were recorded, with 566,370 unique 

reflections yielding a redundancy of 4.6 and a Rsym of 7.5, in a 23 hour time period 

at the National Synchrotron Light Source X12B Beamline using the new Quantum4 CCD detector (Area Detector San Diego Company). The space group is P212121 

with unit cell dimension 208 x 255 x 274 A using the MOSFILM program for data 

processing to 2.4 A resolution. Self-rotation functions, calculated on the data set 

using the program POLARRFN, revealed six aligned and equally spaced non-origin 

peaks in the appa=180 section and one non-origin peak- 90 degrees away from these 

2-folds- in the kappa=60 and 120 sections consistent with the 622 symmetrical 

architecture of Salmonella typhimurium GS. A VM calculation of 2.89 indicates 

two dodecamers (24 subunits) in the asymmetric unit. Since only one set of twofold and six-fold axes are apparent in the rotation function, we conclude that both 

molecules face each other along the crystallographic axis. The TB-GS model has 

been solved using an initial model of S. typhimurium GS, which has been refined 

to 2.5 A resolution in our laboratory. The simulated annealing protocol, thus far, 

gives a R-factor of 38 percent. Model building is currently in progress using 24 

NCS-averaging methods. Hence, synchrotron radiation at beamline X12B and the new CCD detector was crucial to solving the TB-GS structure.

The structure of the complex bewteen oncogenic protein Ras and the Ras- interacting domain of RalGDS (RalGDS-RID) has been studied by x-ray crystallography. 

The structure of the complex will provide crucial information on Ras’ interaction 

with its binding partner at an atomic level. Since the mutant forms of Ras are involved in 30% of human cancer and Ras’ function is carried out through its effectors, the spatial location of the key interface residues may assist in identifying small 

molecules that are capable of disrupting this interaction and thus provide insights 

for the development of anti-cancer drugs. A 2.8 room temperature data set on a native complex crystal was initially taken at BL X12B, which enabled us to solve 

the structure. A 2.0 frozen data set was later taken at BL X25 in September, which 

enabled us to refine the structure to a much higher resolution so that we can see the 

side chain interaction more clearly. The crystal has a P212121 space group, with 

a=75.648, b=78.256, c=87.313 . The complex crystallizes as a heterotertramer with 

two active Ras molecules and two RalGDS-RID subunits.

Nuclear ReceDtor NGFI-B Comdexed to its DNA Target at 2.7 A 

Vancomycin-Ligand Complex Structures X12B 

G. Meinke, P. Sigler (Yale University) 

The nuclear receptor superfamily is a large group of proteins which are ligand 

dependent transcriptional modulators. This family includes receptors for a cliverse 

group of ligands such as steroids. retinoic acid, vitamin D. and thyroid hormone. 

These receptors bind to a specific DNA sequence termed a hormone response element (HRE). The receptors bind as home or heterdimers or monomers to a 

6 base pair consensus sequence termed a half-site which can be organized as direct, inverted, or everted repeats with variable number of spacer nuclcotides or as monomers with a 5f extension to the half-site. 

The X-ray crystal structure of the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the orphan 

nuclear receptor nerve growth factor induced-B (NGFI-B) complexcd to its high 

affinity DNA target has been refined to 2.7 ,&. The striictiire represents the first 

example of a nnclcar receptor bound as a monomer to its specific DNA target. 

The DNA target consists of the consemiis hexameric half-site AGGTCA with a 51 

flanking sequence of ;I. The fold of the core DBD is nearly identical to previously 

solved structures of other members of the nuclear receptor. Residiics C-terminal to 

the core DBD form a stable structure which interact with the minor groove of the 

DNA via an cxtcritlccl loop. These minor groove contacts occiir iri the half-site as 

well as the 5f flanking basepairs.

Cytochrome bcl Complex (ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, bcl) is the 

middle segment of the respiratory chain in almost all aerobic organism, and an es- sential component in the photosynthetic machinary in purple bacteria. Green plants 

use highly homologous b6f complex as an important part of their energy conservation apparatus. The bcl complex is an integral membrane protein; it couples the 

electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c to the proton translocation across 

the membrane to generate a pH difference and a membrane potential for ATP 

synthesis. Mitochondrial bcl complex from bovine heart consists of 11 different 

subunits, two b-type hemes, one C-type heme and an iron-sulfur cluster with a total 

molecular weight of 250 Kd and in excess of 2200 amino acid residues. 

The mitochondrial cytochrome bcl complex from bovine heart was purified and 

crystallized. bcl crystals can be cry0 frozen for stable data collection at Synchrotron 

radiation sources. bcl crystals diffracted X-ray at X12B of NSLS to 3.3 A resolution 

and possess symmetry of the space group of I4122 with cell dimensions of a=b=153.7 

A and c=597.5 A. Initial phases for the bcl crystal were determined using MIRAS 

method with seven heavy metal derivatives, and subsequent phase improvment were carried out with cyclic excutions of density modification and phase combination 

procedures. Current atomic model of the bcl complex contains eight completely 

sequence assigned subunits including corel, core2, cytochrome b, Rieske iron sulfur 

protein, subunits 6, 7, 10 and 11; three incomplete subunits including cytochrome 

cl, subuints 8 and 9; two b-type hemes, one C-type heme and one 2Fe2S iron-sulfur 

cluster with total number of amino acids residues near 2000. 

The bcl structure in crystal is a tightly associated dimer about 155 A tall and 

130 A wide. It can be divided into three regions, the membrane spanning region, 

48 thick, has 26 trans-membrane helices in the dimer, sixteen of which belong to 

cytochrome b dimer. Cytochrome cl, Rieske protein, subunits 7, 10 and 11 each 

contributes two helices in the dimer. The intermembrane space region of the bcl 

complex rises 38 into the intermembrane space where the soluble parts of the the 

Rieske iron-sulfur protein and cytochrome cl are located. The matrix region of the 

bcl projects 75 A into the mitochondrial matrix where corel, core2, subunit6, parts 

of Rieske, cytochrome cl, subunits 7, and 9 can be found. 

The stuctural information of the bcl complex has provided significant contribution to our understanding of the redox-coupled proton translocation mechanism.

Outer Surface Protein B (OspB) is a lipoprotein of unknown function found on the surface of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme Disease. It has 

been shown that certain antibodies directed at the C-terminal domain of OspB are bactericidal, and surprisingly, that the Fabs alone of these antibodies are bactericidal, even in the absence of complement [Coleman, J.L., Rogers, R.C., and Benach,

PRDl is an unusual bacteriophage with many structural similarities to the mammalian adenovirus. Both are icosahedral with vertex fibers, have trimeric major 

coat proteins, and contain linear ds-DNA with terminal proteins. PRDl is unique 

in posessing a lipid membrane within its outer capsid, which is composed of two 

proteins, P3 and P5. P5 lies at the vertices. while P3, a homotrimer of 394 amino 

acids. forms the facets with its N-termini interacting with the internal viral mem- brane. The structure of P3 promises an increased understanding of viral capsid 

assembly and membrane interactions. Crystals of P3 arc orthorhombic (P212121: a

Initial heavy atom trials were troubled by crystal disruption and nonisomorphism. A hIultiwavelength Anomalous Dispersion (NAD) experiment at the 

NSLS wxs designed to overcome these problems. PRDl was expresscd in a bacterial 

systeui containing selenornettiionine antl mass spectrometry sliowctl >90% snbstitntion. Crystals were obtained under the same conditions as the native protein. 

A three wavelength hIAD experiment was performed around the absorption edge 

of seleniuni on a single frozen seleriornetliioriitie P3 crystal at beamlirie X12C. Tlie 

data were collected with a CCD-based detector to 2.2 .4 resolution. The positions of 

the 15 selenium atoms were tleterrriinetl from difference Fourier maps with phasing

A CAmplexed With a mAb LA2 Fab Fragment by Multiwavelength X12C 

XIZG 

Lyme disease is the most common vector borne illness in the United States,caused 

by spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Earliest infection is marked by the appearance of 

erythema migrans. Left untreated, early dissemination may give rise to multisystem 

illness with dermatologic, rheumatic, cardiac and neurologic manifestions. 

Preliminary studies have shown the OspA based vaccine can induce protective 

immunity in mammals. Protection appears to be serotype specific. In vaccine studies with hamsters, protection was conferred only when hamster's immune response was directed to the epitope defined by the mAb LA2. Subsequent studies have 

concluded that the mAb LA2 binds to a conformational epitope located near the 

carboxyl terminus with the stretch of amino acid from 133 to 273. This section of 

OspA is a hypervariable region. However there is a single conserved tryptophan 

at amino acid 216, and fragmentation at this point destroys mAb LA2 binding. 

Studies of a series of OspA fusion proteins, deletion proteins, site-directed mutants, 

strain chimeric proteins and different strains by Western blot analysis suggests that 

the mAb LA2 recognizes a 29 amino acid chain on OspA located at a amino acid 

positions 190 - 217 and supports the theory that epitope is conformationally dependent. Defining this protective epitope is an important consideration in developing an effective vaccine for Lyme disease protection. In order to better define and understand the eDitope of OWA, we have initialized a structural study of OspA and

Crystals were grown at 4°C by hanging-drop vapour diffusion methods ( 0.1M 

Sodium cacodylate, 0.1M sodium Acetate and 10% PEG 3300 at pH 6.15). Crystals were mouked 'in a glass capillary tubes (0.7 mm in diameter) and data were collected on X12C, NSLS CCD detector (Brandeis University) with crystal temperature maintained at 4°C with a cooling air stream. Diffraction patterns were 

observed with dmin = 3.0A. The crystal lattice was determined to be orthorhombic with dimension a =99.5A b=129.5k c=144.5A . Assuming two OspA -LA2 fab 

protein complex molecular per asymmetric unit with molecular mass 81 kDa, the 

specific volume (Vm) is 2.9A /Da, corresponds a solvent content 50%, well inside 

the observed range for protein crystals. 

A complete four-wavelength MAD data set on one NaZW04 derivatized crystal 

was collected at the X12C with crystal frozen in a stream of gaseous nitrogen held 

at 100K. The crystal diffracted to 3.2A and the data set has 96% completeness. The 

data collection and phasing stragegy of treating MAD as a special case of MIR was applied to obtain phase information. Isomorphous and dispersive patterson maps 

calculated from the data set showed strong heavy atom binding site peaks (fig 2). 

The positions were refined and used to calculate the phases. The electron density 

map is interpretable. We are in the process of the model build-up and refinement.

Xanthine oxidase or xanthine dehydrogenase isolated from mammals is a com- ponent of the nucleotide catabolism pathway. The active enzyme, a 290kdal homodimer, catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine, followed by further 

oxidation to uric acid. The enzyme, which is synthesized in vivo as xanthine dehydrogenase, contains one FAD, two 2Fe/2S centers, and one molybdopterin group 

per monomer. Extensive studies on the mechanism of electron transfer between the 

cofactor sites have been made on both the oxidase and the dehydrogenase forms. 

Elucidation of the three dimensional structure of the enzyme is an important step in 

the study of electron transfer between the cofactor and the substrate binding sites. 

Recently, a purification scheme for xanthine oxidase was developed which yields enzyme preparations of exceptional purity. Large crystals (1.2 x 0.7 x 0.15mm) were 

obtained using polyethylene glycol 4000 as a precipitant. However, due to the weak 

diffraction of these crystals, data had to be obtained from a synchrotron radiation source. The lattice type of these crystals was orthorhombic (C2221) with unit cell 

dimensions of a=118.6, b = 165.4, c = 156.4. From the Matthews parameter, there was one monomer per asymmetric unit and a solvent content of 56%. A native 

data set was collected which was 95.2% complete to 3.3 with an overall R factor of 

9.2% from 107172 measured reflections and 22347 unique reflections. Since no analogous structure has been solved, screening for heavy atom derivatives has begun. 

Currently, two complete data sets have been collected of possible weak derivatives. 

In addition, prelimiary diffraction data from five potential derivatives have been 

screened which show promising results. Each of the five sets diffracts well, has unit 

cell parameters similar to the native unit cell values, and scale to the native data set 

with R factors in the range of those expected for a derivative data set. Additional 

synchrotron beam time will be used for collection of these data sets and screening 

of additional heavy atoms.

J. M. Harp, D. E. Timm (UTK), and G. J. Bunick (ORNL) 

Previous data collection done at the NSLS beamline X12C has provided high 

quality native diffraction data from crystals of nucleosome core particles and of 

the histone octamer core of the nucleosome. The nucleosomes in that study were 

prepared using a 146 bp DNA palindrome based on a nucleosome binding sequence 

in the alpha satellite DNA4 of the human X-chromosome. The DNA was bound to 

histones purified from chicken erythrocytes. The DNA palindrome extends the 2 

fold symmetry of the octamer core to the entire complex and the use of an alpha 

satellite sequence provided the highest quality crystals for X-ray diffraction. The 

histone octamer crystals mere grown from the same batches of protein as that used 

for nucleosome assembly. Recent studies done at beamline X12C have been designed to provide data to be used in solving the phases of the previous native data 

sets. The nucleosomes were assembled using the same DNA palindrome hut with 

recombinant histone octamers. The recombinant histones were also niutagenizetl to 

introduce additional binding sites for heavy atom derivatives. MAD experiments 

were performed using crystals of the histone octamer derivatized with mercury and a crystal of the niicleosome core particle derivatized with a platinum compound. 

All data were collected at 100 K antl crystals were annealed to lower mosaic spread 

caused by flash-cooling.

Equine Infectious Anaemia Virus (EIAV) belongs to the Lentiviridae family, 

which is a subfamily of Retrovirus. EIAV is responsible for a chronic, debilitating 

disease in horses. Infection has been reported world-wide and EIAV is recognized as 

a livestock pathogen of significant economic importance to the horse industry. There 

is significant homology between the non-human lentiviruses ancl HIV-1, which is the 

most extensively studied member of Lentiviridae family. Lentiviral capsid proteins 

play a crucial role in the maturation of infectious viral particles. Interference with 

particle maturation would provide an anti-viral mechanism. EIAV anti HIV-1 capsid proteins have 30% identity antl 55% similarity of their amino acid sequenccs. 

The structural study of EIAV core protein mill help in untlerstantlirig the structure 

of HIV core protein, and in evaluating methods of effective treatment and control 

of viral infection. 

Crystals were grown at room temperature by hanging drop vapor diffusion with 

0.1 11 Citrate buffer and 10% PEG 3300, 15% isopropanol, at pH 6.5. A complete 

native data set to 3.6 A (Rsllm = 11%) has been collected at the beamline X12C of 

National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Crystals 

belong to the space group PG122 with a=b=lOl A and c=158 ;I. 

A complete three-wavelength hIAD tlata set on one Pt tlerivatizetl crystal was collected on the X12C heaniline using CCD (Brantleis Universit,y) detector. The 

crystal diffracted to 3.11 A and the data set has 98% completeness. The data 

collection ancl phasing strategy of treating hIAD as a special case of 11IR (V. Raniakrishnan et d., from Methods in Enzymology 1997) was applied to obtain phase

set showed strong heavy atom binding site peaks (fig 1). The positions were refined 

antl used to calculate the phases. The electron density map is interpretable antl 

the N-terminal and C-terminal domains are intact. The arnbiguity of space groups

x12c Crystal Structure of Complexes of Human Acetylcholinesterase and 

Various Nerve Agents 

G. Kryger, I. Silman, J.L. Sussman (The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) 

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is responsible for terminating the action of the neu- rotransmitter acetylcholine by rapid hydrolysis to choline and acetic acid. AChE is 

also the target of many insecticides and other reversible and irreversible inhibitors 

from the organo-phosphate family, of which some have unfortunately been used as 

nerve agents in chemical warfare. Accurate structural knowledge of the structure 

of complexes of such inhibitors with human AChE is therefore of great importance 

in the development and design of more specific insecticides and more important, 

the development of anti nerve agent treatment. Complexes of recombinant human AChE (rhAChE) with 0-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioate (VX), diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) and sarine (SAR) were prepared in solution, then reacted with equimolar amounts of Fasciculin-I1 (FAS-11) 

and crystallized. Crystals of about 0.2mm and space group R32 were used for data 

collection at the BNL-NSLS X12-C X-ray source. Structure determination was car- ried out by molecular eplacement based on the structure of rhACh/FAS-I1 obtained 

at the same beamline and refinement of rhACh/FAS-II/VX, rhACh/FAS-II/DFP 

and rhACh/FAS-II/SAR is underway. 

I Ultra High Resolution Protein Structure Studies of the Extracellular I ~, n,-, I AlLb I Endonuclease from Serratia marcescens. * 

M.D. Miller (U. Houston) & K.L. Krause (U. Houston/Baylor Col. Med.) 

We are refining and characterizing protein structures at ultra high resolution 

(>1.0 A) using data from the extracelluar endonuclease from Serratia marcescens'. 

When crystals are cooled to 100 K, diffraction is seen beyond 0.9 A resolution. 

One dimer of the endonuclease (53.4 kDa / 490 amino acids) crystallizes in the 

asymmetric unit of space group P21212 with a=106.7 A, b=74.5 A, c=68.9 A. 

Before our visit to NSLS, data had been collected to 0.92 A with a MAR image 

plate system on the EMBL beamline BW7B at DESY (A = 0.89 A). During our recent trip to the NSLS beamline X12C at BNL, we were interested 

in extending the resolution and testing the X12C setup for ultra high resolution 

data collection. Data from a single crystal cooled to 100 K were collected to 0.88 A 

resolution (Fig. 1). Three data collection sweeps were used. The two high resolution 

sweeps differed by 40" in x and the third sweep was to collect low resolution data. 

Exposure times were on the order of 12 min/degree for the high resolution data.

C. Phillips (LRIB, Oxford). G. Spraggon (UCSD) and D.I.Stuart (LRIB, Oxford) 

Streptokinase (SK) is a bacterial protein from Streptococcus equisimilis that 

indirectly causes the activation plasminogen (Plg). SK and Plg form an avid 1:l 

stoichiometric complex with the subsequent appearance of a serine protease active 

center from within the Plg moiety: this complex acts in turn as an activator of other 

Plg molecules. SK has shown itself to be an efficacious agent in the clinical treatment 

of acute myocardial infarction ( heart attack ) and has served as a thrombolytic 

agent for almost three decades. Recently SK has been shown to consist of three 

doniains termed A.B and C, of molecular weight lGK, 17K antl 11K respectively. 

Doniairi B has been shown to contain the Plg binding site. Data were collected from 

cryo-cooled crystals of domain B on station X12C iising a CCD detector. Several 

derivative data sets were collected, antl a multi-wavelength experiment performed

x12c Crystal Structure of the Rhiaomucor miehei Aspartic Proteinase 

Complexed with the Inhibitor Pepstatin A at 2.7A. 

J.W. Quail and J. Yang (U. of Saskatchewan) 

The crystal structure of the Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase (RhlP) complexed with the inhibitor pepstatin A has been determined from 2.7A data collected 

at X12C in November, 1996. The crystals were thin and did not diffract to a sufficiently high resolution with a copper tube x-ray source. With the 2.7A data 

obtained at NSLS it was possible to see more bonding detail for this complex. The 

crystals of the RhlP-pepstatin A complex form in the orthorhomic space group 

P212121. The unit cell dimensions are: a=41.52A, b=50.82ij and c=172.71A4. The 

data was refined to an R factor of 19.3% antl an R-free of 28.0% at 2.7?1. In the final 

model, a pepstatin A molecule fits into the large substrate-binding cleft between 

the two tloniains of RhIP in an extended conformation up to the alanine at the 

P2’ position. The dipeptide analogue statine residue at the P3’-P4’ position forms 

an inverse y-tnrn (PS‘-Pl’) with the statine residue at the Pl-P1’ position, and 

its leucyl side chain binding into the S1’ snbsite. The inhibitor interacts with the 

residues of the siibstr;ttc-biiitlirig pocket by either hydrogen bonds or hydrophobic 

interactions, or both. The hydroxyl group of the statine residue at the P1-P1’ position fornis hydrogen bonds with both the catalytic aspartate residues (Asp38 xlcl 

Asp237). This conformation mimics the expected transition state of the enzymesubstrate interaction. The binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme docs not protluce 

large distortions of the active site. No tloniain nioverncrtt is observed relativc to the 

native enzyme striicture. However, the surface flap region (resitlws 82 to 88) 1111- 

tlergoes a conformational change. It moves toward the inhibitor antl becomes rigid 

tluc to the formation of hydrogen bonds with the inhibitor. B-factor calculations 

of the two tloniains suggests that the C-terminal tlorriain becomes more rigitl in the 

complex than in the native striicture. 
Structures of UMP Kinase Transition State Analogue Complexes 

Suggest Mechanism of Phosphoryl Transfer is Associatieve 

I. Schlichting and J. Reinstein (Max Planck Inst. for Molecular Physiology, GE) 

Nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) kinases (ATP:NMP phophotransferases) catalyze the reversible transphosphorylation between nucleoside triphosphates and nu- cleoside monophosphates. NMP kinases play a major role in the regulation of the 

concentration of nucleoside diphosphates in the cell[']. To obtain a better understanding of the enzymatic mechanism of NMP kinases we have studied UMP/CMP 

kinase (UK) from Dictyostelium discoideum by kinetic and crystallographic methods. It is difficult to apply time-resolved crystallographic approaches to this class 

of enzymes as NMP kinases employ an induced-fit mechanism involving large con- certed motions that appear to be incompatible with maintainance of a well-ordered 

crystal lattice. Thus, we determined the three-dimensional structures of UK complexed with ADP, CMP, Mg2+ and transition state analogs (aluminum, beryllium 

and scandium fluoride) of the phosphate being transfered"]. We measured the kinetic parameters of these analogs and found that all three analogs form rather tight 

complexes with the enzyme. Diffraction data of the crystals (P41212, a=b=78.8 

A, c=100.7 A) of UK, ADP, CMP, Mg2+ grown in the presence of aluminum or 

beryllium fluoride are 93%% complete to 1.9d with Rmerge of 8.7%% and 90-% 

complete to 1.65 with Rmerge of 6.1%% , respectively. The structures were refined 

with XPLOR 3.1 using the structure of the UK complexed with the specific and 

asymmetric bisubstrate inhibitor Pl-(adenosine 5')-P5-(uridine5')-pentaphosphate 

(UP5A) as a starting model (omitting the nucleotide, Mg2+, and waters). The 

positions of the catalytic Mg2+ and the highly conserved lysine of the P loop are virtually invariant in the different structures. In constrast, catalytic arginines move to stabilize charges that develop during the phosphyl transfer reaction. The location of the arginines indicates formation of negative charges during the reaction at 

the transferred phosphoryl group, but not at the phosphate bridging oxygen atoms 

(see figure). This is consistent with an associative phosphoryl transfer mechanism 

but not with a dissociative one.

I Crystal Structure of I-DmoI by MAD Phasing I x12c I 

G. Silva and P. Van Roey (Wadsworth Center) 

I-DmoI is a 22kDa intron-encoded endonuclease from the hyperthermophilic 

archeaon DesulfurococFus mobilis. Crystals of I-DmoI belong to space group C2, a 

= 94.2 A, b = 37.16 A, c = 55.78 A, ,O = 113.3. Previous attempts at determining the structure of I-DmoI by conventional MIR methods have failed because of 

high mosaicity and non-isomorphism problems. MAD data (3 wave lengths) were measured for a Selenomethionine derivative crystal. For each wavelength, the data 

within an oscillation range of 160 degrees, and in its Friedel flip, were measured 

over a 36 hr. period, using one crystal. The data are 99% complete to 2.2 A, with 

about 11-fold redundancy. The data were processed with DENZO/SCALEPACK. 

Rmerge values for each data set are 0.051 to 0.059. Phasing and solvent flatttening, 

using the package PHASES, has yielded a map that is easily interpretable. Model 

building is currently in progress.

Beecham Pharmaceuticals) 

Single crystal x-ray diffraction data from several proteins have been collected 

at NSLS beamline X12C. Resolution extending to 1.7 Angstroms was achieved for 

small ( less than 100 micron ) crystals of novel human cysteine protease, bacterial 

tRNA-synthetases, and viral proteases. Two derivative data sets at 2.8 Angstroms 

were collected at the Pt and Hg edges to enhance the anomalous scattering signal 

froni crystals of a novel human lipase whose structure is now being determined from 

this data. 

The structures of these proteins are important to drug design efforts in our laboratories. This high resolution diffraction information was riot accessible using 

laboratory radiation with the size crystals available. 

I Crystal Structure of Crosslinked Fragment D from Human Fibrin * I X12C I 

G. Spraggon, S.J. Everse and R.F. Doolittle (UCSD) 

One of the longest lingering goals in all of blood coagulation research is to understand how fibrinogen units are packed together in fibrin clots. In this regard, the 

covalent dimer of fragment D known as "double-D" has been isolated from human 

fibrin, and crystallized in the presence of a Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro-amide peptide ligand 

simulating the donor polymerization site. These crystals belong to the monoclinic 

space group P21 with unit cell dimensions: a=93.82, b=05.5, c=113.76. 0=96.08". 

An 88.8 percent complete data set to 2.9A was collected at beamline X12C of the

The 170-kilotlalton, end-to-end structure reveals the principle noncovalent interactions between fibrin monomers, including the " knob-hole" interactions between 

Gly-Pro-Arg and the key residues in the binding cavities on the y domain, and 

the "D-D" interactions of abutting molecules. The covalently crosslinked carboxylterminal segments extend from one unit to the next on the opposite side of the 

fibrin dimer to the "knob and holes". These exterrially situated segments are riot 

clearly tlclineatetl, indicating that there is sonic flexibility even after crosslinking.

Each T cell receptor (TCR recognizes a peptide antigen bound to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC i molecule via a clonotypic c@ heterodimeric structure 

(Ti) non-covalently associated with the monomorphic CD3 signaling components. A 

crystal structure of an a@ TCR/anti-TCR Fab complex shows an Fab fragment derived from a monoclonal antibody (mAb) interacting with the elongated FG loop of 

the C/3 domain situated beneath the P domain. This loop, along with the partially 

exposed ABED P-sheet of CP and glycans attached to both CP and Ccr domains, 

forms a cavity of sufficient size to accommodate a single non-glycosylated Ig domain 

such as the CD3.5 ectodomain. That this asymmetrically localized site is embedded within the rigid constant domain module has implications for the mechanism 

of signal transduction in both TCR and pre-TCR complexes. Furthermore, qnaternary structures of TCRs vary significantly even when they bind the same MHC 

molecule, as manifested by a unique twisting of the V module relative to the C module. These data are the first to define the rigidity of the constant domain module, 

suggest the basis of structural interaction of the CD3.5 signaling component with 

the TCR heterodimer, and define quartenary structural differences among TCRs. 

The use of beamline X12C was ideal for our crystallographic problem as the co- complex crystals were too small for conventional X-ray sources, the unit cell was 

of significant size with two complexes of TCR-Fab per asymmetric unit, and attempts to obtain conventional heavy atom derivatives for isomorphous replacement 

was unsuccessful. Consequently based on Friedel flip geometry, we collected data 

on a single splenomethionine substitute of frozen crystal at the inflection point, 

peak point and remote point. The integrated data sets were local-scaled together 

to obtain accurate dispersive differences. Difference-Fourier maps were calculated 

using the initial phases from the preliminary refined model derived with molecular 

replacement. Nine out of 12 Se sites showed up in both anomalous and dispersive 

difference maps, and the sites agree with the methionine positions in the model. 

The MAD data were treated as a special case of multiple isomorphous replacement 

and the nine Se sites were refined and used for phasing.

Characterization of Fe Impurities in A1N Using EXAFS * I X14A I 

T. C. Bruss, S. T. Misture and J. A. Taylor (Alfred U.) and T. R. Watkins (ORNL) 

Aluminum nitride is of great interest in the field of electronic ceramics due to its 

unique combination of a high thermal conductivity and a high electrical resistivity. 

Direct nitridation of A1 is a low cost alternative to traditional sol-gel processing. 

However, this processing technique typically produces A1N powders with Fe impurities which originate in the A1 metal. Metallic impurities have a detrimental effect on the aforementioned properties. A first step in removal of these impurities is identification of the chemical state of the impurities. Since the impurity levels are rather 

small (i500 ppm), X-ray diffraction techniques from laboratory instruments were 

unable to detect Fe or any Fe containing compound, possibly because the phase is 

amorphous. 

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) is a powerful technique 

for identification of phases and compounds containing a specific element as well as determination of the local structure (short-range order) about a given atomic center 

in all states of matter. EXAFS has been used to detect Fe impurities in silicon 

nitride and Ti impurities in AlN, for example. EXAFS analysis and absorption 

edge positions were used to unambiguously determine that metallic iron is present 

in A1N produced by direct nitridation. Based on these results, vapor-phase acid 

leaching was used to remove the Fe without significant degradation of the A1N. * Research sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy, Assistant Secretary for

Crystalline Phases of Langmuir Monolayers * I X14A 

Monolayers of alkanoic acids at the air/water interface have a complex phase 

diagram. Many of the phases are two dimensional versions of phases observed in 

bulk alkanes. X-ray diffraction experiments have revealed that two of the phases, 

the CS and Ly phases, are two dimensional crystals with molecular packings that are 

similar to the crystalline packing of long-chain bulk alkanes. Because the crystalline 

alkane phases are known to have molecules arranged in a herringbone pattern. it 

has long been assumed that the CS antl Li phases must have similar backbone 

orientational order. Recent IR spectroscopy experiments (h1. Li and S.A. Rice. J. 

Chem. Phys. 104, 1996, 6860) have shown that such orientational order is present. 

itre report the first observation of X-ray diffraction peaks that confirm that the 

herringbone order is long-range. Figure 1 (top) shows the peaks observed in the CS 

phase, antl their registry according to an orthorhombic lattice with two molecules

An x-ray diffraction study was performed to determine the nature of the 

C6o/Ge(lll) interface formed by depositing c60 on a Ge(ll1)- c(2x8)surface at room temperature. In-plane k-scans show a (lx 1) periodicity at the Cm/Ge(lll) 

interface with no trace of the ~(2x8) reconstruction, indicating that the Ge adatoms 

on the clean ~(2x8) reconstructed surface are displaced. Scans along the (10) crystal truncation rod indicate that these adatoms are transferred from the T4 bonding 

site to the H3 site after C~O deposition. A model consisting of three relaxed bilayers 

of Ge and randomly distributed adatoms in the H3 site best explains the results.

Anisotropic Behavior and a Second Length Scale in the Critical Diffuse Scattering from the Tricritical System V2H * 

J. Trenkler, P. Chow, S. C. Moss (U. of Houston), R. Paniago (U. of Munich), J. 

Bai (U. of Illinois), and R. Hempelmann (U. des Saarlandes) 

The tricritical behavior of a single crystal of V2H at the PI-Pz-phase transition 

has been studied by x-ray scattering. Critical diffuse scattering (CDS) in alloys 

is a major tool for studying critical phenomena since the diffuse scattering data 

give valuable information on the behavior of thermodynamic parameters like the 

correlation length and the susceptibility at a phase transition. The sharp increase in 

long-wave fluctuations of the order parameter near the critical range causes a strong 

increase in the diffuse scattering of x-rays which directly reflects the thermodynamic 

behavior in this critical regime. 

In this experiment, we mainly focussed on the measurement of the temperature 

dependence of the CDS above Tc, taking line and area scans in order to deduce 

the tricritical exponents y and L/ from their "deconvoluted" amplitude and half 

width at half maximum of the intensity profiles. The sample exhibits a strongly 

anisotropic CDS in the (Ah, 5/2+Ak, 5/2-Ak) plane measured at T=Tc+l.O K as shown in fig. 1. Thereby, the correlation length is one order of magnitude larger 

perpendicular to the hydrogen (H) sheets than within the occupied H-sheets. An 

analysis of the data is still in progress. 

Furthermore, we observed a remarkable change in the line shape of the critical 

diffuse scattering in the longitudinal [0 1 11 scan at T=Tc+6.2 K as shown in fig. 

2. The measured profile consists clearly of two components, a broad and a narrow one, for temperatures T>Tc+6.2 K. At T=Tc+7.3 K,-the narrow component is 

very weak. The higher order superstructure peak (0 7/2 7/2) measured at the same temperature displays the broad component more prominently than the low order 

superstructure peak (0 5/2 5/2). However no change in the line shape was observed 

in the [l 0 01 transverse scans. Further investigation of this issue was done at X18A 

and X17B1.

0 High Temperature Residual Stress Measurement in Thermal Barrier 

Coatings* 

T. R. Watkins and C. R. Hubbard (ORNL) 

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC' s) are currently utilized in aircraft and diesel 

engines to prolong the life of metallic components. TBC failure is typically spallation of the top coat due to oxide scale growth at the bond coat/top coat interface. 

Understanding the residual stresses of the oxide scale growth is thus critical to 

enhancing the performance and reliability of TBC systems. 

In this study, preliminary characterization of the resiclual stress state in the bond 

coat, scale, and substrate was performed. The residual strains are measured in a 

thermally grown oxide scale antl in a PtAl bond coat on top of a Reni N5 superalloy 

substrate at 1150 0C via x-ray diffraction. Large compressive residual stresses (i,- 

4 GPa) in the the 2 5m thick alumina scale were observed at high tmperature. 

The residual stresses decreased at room temperature to -3 GPa, presumbalv due to 

cracking. Fiitiire experimental work is planned.

I Surface Structure of Zn2+ Adsorbed on Calcite (1014) Surface * I X15A 1 

L. Cheng, &I. Bedzyk (ANL and Northwestern U.), N.C. Sturchio (ANL) ~ and J.C. 

Woicik (NET) 

Divalent metal ions dissolved in aqueous solution interact with ionic mineral surfaces and frequently become adsorbed on the surafce as a result of this interaction. 

This process effectively acts as a natural means of metal ion transport from the soluble to the solid phase. and has significant implications in fields such as geochemistry 

and environmental sciences. 

Zinc (11) ion (Zn2+) is a typical divalent ion, as is calcite (CaCO3) an abundant 

mineral on Earth. The interaction of Zn with the calcite (1074) cleavage surface 

has been a system of rather popular studies [l], in order to obtain quantitative 

data for use in interpreting geochemical antl erivirorirnental processes. But a crucial 

component of these quantitative data--the adsorption structiire of Zn on calcitehas not been directly observed at the atomic Ievcl. 

IVe have conchicted a combined X-ray staritling wave (XS\V) triangulation and 

surface-polarized EXAFS study on the structure of Zn ion atlsorbccl 011 the calcite 

(1Oi4) surface from a dilute ( lopR hI) solution. The XSiV triangiilation rcsiilts 

show a high adsorption coherent fraction, of about 0.7. arid the coherent positions 

Pc~ have the following values:

H PH 

mi4 0.87 f 0.01 

0006 0.45 f 0.05 

0324 0.85 f 0.03 

These positions indicate that Zn substitutes the Ca ion on the surface. but at 

a lattice position that is tlisplacrd appreciably from the iintlistortetl Ca site. The 

SEXAFS data on Zn show that the Zn-0 nearest-neighbor bond length on the 

adsorption surface is 2.10 rt 0.02 h. This value is within experimental uncertainty 

comparable to the Zri-0 bond length in hulk ZnCOx. which is isostriictiiral n.ith 

calcite. The combined interpretation of these SSIV triangulation and SEXAFS 

rcsiilts is that the 0 atoms boiitling to the ZII ion. both in-plane aiitl in the moriolayrr

Thin films of the wide-bandgap semiconductor GaN are important because of 

their application for short-wavelength, light-emitting LEDs and lasers. In the (0001) 

crystallographic direction, the non-centrosymmetric wurtzite GaN crystal exhibits 

no mirror symmetry for the Ga and N atomic planes. As a consequence, for thin 

films on e.g. sapphire there are two possible stacking sequences. We applied X-ray 

Standing Wave technique [l] to determine the polarity of thin GaN films grown 

by MBE on A1203 single crystals. Different from the standard approach based on 

the excitation of an XSW field inside a perfect single crystal, we generated an Xray standing wave by the thin GaN film [2] by X-ray diffracting 10.5 keV photons. 

The Ga-K, fluorescence yield was measured as a function of the incidence angle 

within the range of the GaN(0002) reflection. The experimental result for the lpm 

thick film is shown in Fig.1. The convolution with a Gauss function (~=0.05 deg.) 

was used to take into account the broadening of the reflectivity curve due to some 

growth defects. The static Debye-Waller factor describing the perfection of the film 

structure was used as the only fitting parameter (Fig.2). Our results unambiguously 

indicate N-polarity of the MBE grown film (nitrogen atoms occupy the top half of 

the bilayer) with the static DW-factor ePw -0.36. This finding is in contrast with 

the result of a recent ion-channneling and electron diffraction study for the polarity 

of thin films on sapphire grown by MOCVD 31.

Dimer Structure of Sb-Terminated GaAs(001)-(2x4) Surface * 

T.-L. Lee (Northwestern U.) and M.J. Bedzyk (Northwestern U. and ANL) 

X15A 

The bonding geometry of the GaAs(OOl):Sb-(2~4) surface was investigated by the 

x-ray standing wave technique (XSW) using the (004) and (022) Bragg reflections. 

The height above the surface (h') and the bond length (L) of the Sb dimer were 

measured to be 1.72 Aand 2.84 A, respectively, in good agreement with the previous 

theoretical calculation [l] and other measurements on related surfaces. The Sb 

coverage of the (2 x4) reconstruction was determined by Rutherford back scattering 

to be 0.48 ML, consistent with a model having two Sb dimers per unit cell. We then 

considered two previously proposed structures of a half ML coverage (see figure): one with two Ga dimers in the second layer (Model I), and the other with one As 

dimer in the third layer (Model 11). Theoretical calculation [I] has shown that both 

structures are energetically stable. We discriminated between these two models by 

measuring the lateral displacement (Ax) of the Sb dimers, which is expected to be 

much larger for Model I due to the formation of the Ga dimers. Our (111) XSW 

measurement revealed a negligible lateral shift and is therefore in favor of Model 11.

Utilizing the kinematic theory of x-ray diffraction, we have determined the InAs layer spacing in a buried InAs monolayer gown on GaAs(001). This spacing. 

1.62 +/- 0.03 A, coincides with the solution of a Keating valence-force field that 

explicitly assumes no relaxation of the Ga and As atoms on both sides of the 

InAs/GaAs interface; it is also consistent with previous extended x-ray absorption 

fine structure and x-ray standing wave measurements [\Voicik et al., Phys. Rev. B

Electrochemical preparation of surfaces is very attractive with the drawback that 

the majority of the surface characterization tools which are available e.g. for UHVpreparation are not applicable because of the presence of the electrolyte. X-ray techniques are an exception and have been employed increasingly for investigations of 

metal/electrolyte interfaces. Little work has been done for semiconductor electrodes 

despite its importance and the scarse information about corresponding structural 

processes. Recently we reported the first in-situ X-ray structural analysis of this 

kind employing X-ray diffraction [l]. We studied GaAs(001)/HzS04 as a function of 

electrode potential and the growth and epitaxy of Cu clusters [1,2]. The first in-situ 

XSW study of a semiconductor electrolyte interface for GaAs(OOl)/HaS04(:Cu) is 

presented here. The GaAs(004) reflectivity and the Cu-K fluorescence yield for 0.6 

ML electrodeposited on n-GaAs(001) are shown in the figure. The result shows 

that (sub)monolayer amounts of Cu adsorb predominantly substitutional before 3- 

D clusters start to grow. Part of the Cu diffuses a few ten nm into the bulk in an amount different for p- and n-type GaAs. Coherent fractions are always smaller 

than 0.4, showing that other minority positions are occupied by the Cu. Even if the 

GaAs is anodically dissolved, the surface Cu is removed only slowly, proving that 

it is strongly bound to the GaAs within the top surface layers, staying at/within 

the surface even if it is slowly etched away.

I Fundamental Limit Of Free-Carrier Densities In n-doped Si ~ I x14 

D. J. Chadi, C. H. Park (NEC), D. L. Adler, M. A. Marcus, H.-J. Gossmann, and 

P. H. Citrin (Bell Labs) 

A critical factor in the evolution of increasingly small Si-based components is the 

maximum achievable free-carrier concentration. Electron carrier densities in n-type 

Si are observed to saturate at <5x1OZ0 cmP3, a phenomenon generally attributed to 

the formation of electrically inactive clusters or deactivating dopant defects containing one or more Si vacancies. X-ray absorption measurements and first-principles 

calculations were used to show that for Group V donors (P, As, Sb) the free-carrier 

saturation can arise from a very different mechanism, namely, Fermi-level pinning. 

As the energy of electrons at the Fermi level increases with doping, it becomes 

energetically favorable to create localized states in a new class of centers called 

donor-pair (DP) defects. Each DP center is composed of two nearby, vacancy-free 

dopant atoms, which capture 2 electrons from the Fermi sea rather than donating 

2 electrons into it. The strongly interacting dopant-atom pairs lead to large lattice 

relaxations with either 3-membered or 5- and 7-membered Si rings. The unusual 

atomic structure of these defects agrees very well with the x-ray absorption data. 

and with a variety of other, albeit less direct measurements. A simple model for 

forming DP centers predicts a maximum carrier concentration and dopant dependence that are both in excellent agreement with experiment. This work shows that 

DP defects represent an inherent limitation to the electrical activity of Si doped 

with Group V donors. That is, while additional vacancy-dopant complexes and/or 

precipitates may also be formed in amounts that depend on sample preparation 

conditions (e.g., annealing temperatures and rates) , deactivating DP defects will 

always be created ~ even under the best of circumstances ~ because they result 

only from the mutual interaction between nearby Group V dopants. Future work 

is planned to explore whether analogous defects involving other types of donor, or even acceptor, atoms are equally important in Si.

p3 Trace Metal Contaminants in Optical Silica Preforms 

P. A. Northrup, R. M. Atkins, P. F. Glodis, D. C. Jacobson, and P. H. Citrin (Bell 

Labs) 

The greater transmission losses measured from certain optical silica fibers had 

been shown by 11s last year to correlate with the existence of particular metal impurities in the cores of the parent preforms. Surprisingly large amounts of Fe (> 100 

ppb) were even found in a fiber preform that had a much lower loss. The results 

raised concerns about the reliability of the absolute metal concentrations and about 

the purity of the starting tube itself (supplied by an outside vendor). A new series 

of calibration standards was therefore studied, and a thorough re-examination was 

made of two preforms whose fibers yielded very different losses. These more acciirate Fe measurements strengthened the conclusions of the earlier study, including 

the fact that the Fe exists almost exclusively in the relatively benign 3+ state (the 

concentration of the more absorbing Fez+ species is experimentally obscured by - 

and clearly scales with ~ the amount of Fe”’ present). Extension of measurements 

into the outermost shell region showed that the metal impurities do not originate 

from the starting tube. This was further confirmed by a study of Cu impurities, 

whose concentration rlepentlence on position and optical loss was essentially identical to that for Fe. The striking spatial variation in metal concentration that was observed suggests the origin of metal contamination in the preform manufacturing 

process. 

3 I Structural Stability of Vacancy-Ordered Rare-Earth Fulleride I X15B I 

K. N. Rabe (Yale) and P. H. Citrin (Bell Labs) 

Superconducting Yb2.75C~0 is unique among metal-doped fullerene compounds, 

exhibiting long-range-ordered vacancies, significantly displaced Yb cations (2.4 A). inequivalently charged and distorted c60 anions, and rotationally ordered c60 pentagonal faces. A simple electrostatic-energy analysis was used to explain how each 

of these features stabilizes this apparently exotic crystal structure (2008 atoms/unit 

cell). The results have general implications for other, more conventional intercalated 

metal fullerides. 
Formation of Copper Silicide using Surface X-ray Diffraction * I X16A I 

We report an in-situ study of the initial stage of copper silicide formation during 

deposition of Cu on Si(ll1) at 300K using surface X-ray diffraction. The practical 

significance of this system stems from its importance in the VLSI microelectronics 

industry. From a scientific viewpoint, it is interesting to study how an epitaxial 

overlayer forms in a large-misfit system [Cu( 111) is 5% larger than a RT3 coincidence 

Ultra-High Doping in Si(OO1): B Pairing and Diffusion X16A 

lattice on ~i(111)]. 

Walker reported in an ex-situ X-ray diffraction study that a lOOnm film of Cu on Si(ll1) contains a buried monolayer of commensurate CusSi, strained 7% to match 

the substrate. On the other hand, Bootsma reported that only incommensurate 

silicide forms, based on an in-situ study using RHEED and AES. 

We find that the first few M1 of copper forms commensurate Cu3Si. This is clear 

from the CTR scan (integrated intensities at points along the substrate truncation rod) shown in the figure (LHS). The new peak near L = -4 corresponds to 

islanded but commensurate Cu3Si. Additionally, the overlayer contributes a characteristic +/- asymmetry near the substrate Bragg peaks (L=+l, +4), from which 

the overlayer registry may be determined (work in progress). At higher coverage, 

the coherent silicide structure is mostly consumed. Incommensurate copper metal 

forms at the same time, as evidenced by the incommensurate rod scans Q = (1.65, 

1.65, L) shown in the figure (RHS). It is remarkable that this structure begins as hcp Cu (peak near L = 2.2), before adopting the fcc structure (L = 2.2), with 

marked twinning (L=3.0) 

In conclusion, we find that in-situ monitoring of the initial stage of copper silicide 

formation reveals two "transient" structures that might strongly affect the formation 

of thicker overlayers. 

Ultra-high B doped Si and Si(1-x)Ge(x) films have the potential to drive further miniaturization of microelectronics with minor changes in process technology. 

Some applications for such layers include source/drain regions in MOS transistors, 

base layers in SiGe HBT's, and emitter layers in BJT's. Ultra-highly B doped 

films on Si(O01) have generated considerable scientific interest as a tensile strained 

layer/limited miscibility system. Ultra-high B doped Si(OO1) samples were grown 

by Gas-Source MBE to a CB of 2x1OZ0 cmP3. The B was determined to be electrically activated from a combination of SIMS and Hall-effect measurements. Samples were isothermally annealed in-situ under high vacuum conditions in X16A, at tempertures in the range of 900 to 1100°C until the strain was reduced to 10% of the 

initial value. The experimental curves show a rapidly decaying separation between 

the film and substrate (004) peaksas seen in Figure 1. Two exponential terms were needed to fit the data. SIMS measurements after annealing showed B diffusion from 

the film into the bulk. All films remained coherent, and no precipitates nor misfit dislocations were found by XTEM. Ab initio psuedopotential calculations were performed by Zhu* et. al. which revealed that a boron pair on a single Si lattice 

site is a stable configuration for B in Si. The predicted volume of a cell containing a boron pair bonded to four Si atoms is larger than a pure Si tetrahedron, and 

therefore would tend to increase the lattice constant of the film. The goal of this 

experiment was to demonstrate the Arrheneius behavior of the B pairing reaction, 

and to obtain activation energies for the formation of such pairs. Preliminary results 

in Figure 2 show the activation energy for the first exponential term attributed to 

the formation of B pairs to be 1.6 eV. The second activation energy attributable 

to diffusion is 2.9 eV. This value is lower than the 3.4 eV value typical for lower B 

concentration material, but it is reasonable considering that B diffusion is enhanced 

at high concentration. *J. Zhu et al, Phys. Rev. B, 54, 4741 (1996).

I Irradiation Induced Strain Relaxation of a Metastable SiGe Film I X16A I 

C. Kim, T. Spila, J. E. Greene and I. K. Robinson (U. of Illinois) 

When SiGe alloy is grown on Si(OOl), there exists a critical thickness below 

which the SiGe film can be grown pseudomorphically. The theoretically predicted 

critical thickness using equilibrium theory is, however, smaller than that measured 

by experiment because of kinetic effect. A metastable film can therefore exist when 

its thickness is in the range between the theoretically predicted and experimentally 

determined critical thicknesses. Since it is not in the state of energy minimum, it 

might be possible to have the strained film relax by external pertnrbation such as 

irradiation. 

In ow experiment, a metastable SiGe film of 200 A grown at 500 "C was irradiated with 2.5 KeV Ga ions in a UHV chamber combined with a diffractometer and 

strain relaxation was measured ir6-situ. The dose ranged from 8x 10'" to 3.6~ 10''' 

(ions/cm2). Substrate Si unit cell was chosen for indexing Bragg peaks antl As 

shown in Fig.1, a series of index scans through (202) peak of SiGe were macle for 

different doses of irradiation. The maxima of sharp peaks tlne to coherent tliffraction decreased as we iricrcased dose. On the other hand, the intensity of diffuse 

scattering mas obervetl to increase. In Fig. 2, the tliffusc scattering alone is shown on a linear scale by subtracting the main peaks from the raw data. It is clearly seen 

that tliffiise peaks shifted with increasing dose. The peak shift can be attributed 

to the misfit dislocations induced by irradiation antl is one good evidence of strain 

relaxation of metastable SiGe film. 

The peak position antl width convey information about the changes in microstructure of the film during irradiation. For example, the increase of lattice constant with more close is related to the increase of average tlislocatioii distance. In the mean- while. peak width, which is inversely proportional to a. domain size. tlecrcasrtl as a

width is consistent with each other.

I Ion Implantation Damage in Semiconductors I X16A 

P. J. Partyka, R. S. Averback and I. K. Robinson (University of Illinois) 

We studied the diffuse X-ray scattering from defects in Si produced by in situ 

ion implantation, both as a function of dose and as a function of temperature. 

Fundamentally different behavior was found at temperatures near 100K, which was previously inaccessible for lack of the in situ capability. 

A typical diffuse scattering profile around an in-plane 440 peak is shown as raw 

data in Figure 1. This sample was irradiated with 4.5keV Het ions at 210K. The 

lowest trace, marked 'unirradiated' is just due to the thermal diffuse scattering 

(TDS), measured under the same grazing incidence conditions on the same sample 

prior to dosing. If the excess scattering were due to the elastic strain field around 

the ion-beam generated point defects (Huang mechanism). the expected functional 

form of the scattering woulcl be qp2. Therefore the TDS was subtracted and the 

vertical axis was rescaled by a factor of q2 so as to show the deviation from ideal 

qp2 behavior. 

The result, shown in fig 2, shows clear deviations from the Huang behaviour. Ideal 

Huang Diffuse Scattering woultl appear as a constant value on this graph, which 

woultl rise with the close (or density of c1efect)s). There is a clear dip in the intensity 

near the Bragg peak position in the center of the scan. Ow current understanding 

of this result is that the irradiation caiises a roughly equal density of interstitials 

and vacancies, with approximately the same relaxation volnmes, but that they are 

l>onntl together in an I-V pair. The strain field at large distance is thereby cancpled 

out, antl thc corresponding small-q diffuse scattering is reduced. IVe conclude that 

the defects arc spatially corrrlatetl. Further rnotleling of the tliffnse scattering is in 

progress.

I X-ray Investigation of a Sio.sGeo.l(OO1) Single Crystal Surface I X16A I Evolution of 0-Induced Facet Formation on Cu(115) 

H. Reichert (U. of Wuppertal, Germany), S.C Moss (U. of Houston), C.Y. Kim, 

and K. Evans-Lutterodt (Lucent Technologies) 

We have investigated the near surface structure of a Sio.gGeo.1(001) single crystal. 

During the cleaning procedure we have performed reflectivity measurements in order 

to monitor the Ge concentration profile in the near surface region. After cleaning the 

surface chemically we found a large Ge excess concentration which can be deduced 

from the oscillations of the reflectivity curve in Fig.1. We have also studied the 

intensity distibution along integral order crystal truncation rods at this stage of the 

sample preparation. 

Following a short heating treatment at 850°C the quality of the crystal surface 

degrades quickly. This can be seen by the change in the reflectivity profile in Fig.1. 

Further heating at 850°C for prolonged times changes the surface morphology in 

a characteristic way. Fig.2 shows a scanning electron micrograph of the surface 

after the annealing procedure. A large number of pyramidic holes formed at the 

surface. The size of the holes depends on the highest temperature reached during 

the heat treatment. The specular reflected intensity is strongly damped while the 

off-specular diffuse intensity is increased and structured.

I Superstructure Ordering in La Doped PMN Single Crystals I X16C I I DAFS Analysis of Local Structure of Ordered Nanodomains in PMN I X16C 1 

D. hl. Fanning, S. T. Jung, D. A. Payne, I. K. Robinson (U. of Illinois-UC) 

Lead magnesium niobate (Pb[Mgl/3Nbz/3]03) is a classic ferroelectric relaxor, 

having a very high, frequency dependent dielectric constant near room temperature. 

It has the perovskite structure. and the mixed B-site is believed to be responsible 

for its broad transition to the paraelectric state. 

Previously [ 11, we studied pure PhIN crystals and found superstructure reflections 

at the (h+1/2. k+1/2, 1+1/2) positions. These were shown to be the result of 

chemical ordering between the Mg2' and Nb" ions. The ordered regions were 

measured to be about 50 in size. It is believed $hat their size is limited clue to the 

non-stoichiometric 1:l ordering of hIg'+ and Nb"+, which results in an average net 

charge of -0.5e per unit cell. By doping with La3+ in place of Pb2+, it is possible 

to increase the size of the ordered region. In this experiment, we studied the effects 

of this increased ordering and the feasibility of using La tlopetl PhIN for a coherent 

XRD study. 

Single crystals of La-PhlN were grown by the flux method. For each crystal,we 

measured about 100 superstructure rcflcctions. Ii'e found the crystal quality was 

quite good. with no mosaic structure. By averaging the widths of the superstructure reflections. we cletermiriecl thc size of the cliemically ordered region using the 

Scherrer formula. As expected the size increases with La concentration: to 130 A 

for 4.5% La-PLIN, antl 1000 ;\ for the 10% La-PAIN. 

\Ve were able to determine the striictiire of the ordered region by fitting to our 

model (Figure 1). We assume nearest neighbor unit cells havc different B-site ions. 

alternating between Alg"' arid Nb"+. The oxygen atom posit,ioris are free parameters that displace towards the smaller Nb" ions (rachis of O.(i5 A vs 0.72 k\ for 

hIg2'). Combined with Debye-\Valler factors. this model was iisetl to successfully 

fit our data for both pure arid La tlopetl PAIN. 

Figure 2 shows the oxygen displacemerit as well as the mcasiiretl lattice constant 

for the 3 crystals. Clearly, the treritl iri the oxvgcu displacement arid latt,ice pararrieter arc in a consistent direction. \Ye believe that by chcmicitlly ordering, PAIN is

We performed Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure (DAFS) measurements of 

the single crystal of relaxor ferroelectric Pb[hlg,/3Nbz,3]03 (Ph,IN) which has cubic structure at 300 K. Presence of superstructure spots in our X-ray diffraction 

measurements [l] confirmed the existence of 1:l Nb:h#Ig ordered nanodomains in a 

Nb-rich host lattice. Local structure in the ordered domains has been investigated 

before by Nb K edge EXAFS measurements [a] where the task of separation between the contributions of the nearest neighbors (NN) to Nb to the total EXAFS 

signal from the host lattice and nanodomains is very difficult. 

DAFS measurements of the peak (-.5, -2.5, 2.5) were taken at the Nb K edge. 

By using a superstructure peak, we were able to look at only the NbNN contrihutions in the ordered nanodomains. Data were measured using a custom-designed 

4-circle Kappa diffractometer and a data acquisition program SUPER. Fluorescence background \vas measiiretl by moving the 20 arni of the cliffractometer to an 

off-peak position. Resultant DAFS data (after fluorescence background was suhtractetl) are shown in Fig. 1. Smooth background intensity was fit to the DAFS 

data using Cromer-Liberman theory for ff, antl f{ as a first approximation. To 

extract absorption cross-section a(E) and perform stantlard EXAFS analysis, iterative Kramers-Kriinig transforms procedure [3] was applied to isolate true f' arid

In Situ XAFS Study of Pt-Ru Catalysts in Fuel Cell I X16C I 

A. I. Frenkel, M. S. Nashner, C. W. Hills, J. R. Shapley, and R. G. Nuzzo (UIUC) 

Tn our previous work [l] we reported the results of the preparation and characterization with XAFS of the PtRus bimetallic nanoparticles. In the present work, 

we performed the in situ study of a similar system, PtRu4, in a custom designed 

fuel cell at three different potentials: open circuit, 0.25 and 0.7 V. These potentials 

correspond to different stages in the methanol oxidation process. 

Well-defined Pt-Ru binary particles were prepared from Pt2Ru4 (CO) 18 molecular 

cluster precursor. The solution was then dispersed onto a carbon cloth support 

and heated under H2 flow at 400" for an hour. Pt 153 and Ru K edge XAFS data 

(Figs. 1 and 2) were collected in these catalysts in a fuel cell in fluorescence at 80°C. 

Structural refinement was performed simultaneously for the both Pt LB and Ru K 

edges data using UWXAFS programs. We obtained a non-statistical distribution 

of Pt and Ru atoms in the nanoparticles, consistent with a segregation of the Pt 

particles in the core of the cluster. While the increase of potential from 0 to 0.7 V 

led to the decrease of both Pt-Metal and Ru-Metal coordination numbers (Fig. 3), 

interaction of Pt with low Z atoms (oxygen, CO ligands and C support) was not 

affected by changes in V (Fig. l), whereas the number of Ru-low Z bonds increased 

with V (Figs. 2 and 4).

I Evolution of PtRuSC(C0)lG Molecule into a Pt-Ru Nanoparticle I X16C I 

A. I. Frenkel, M. S. Nashner, J. R. Shapley, and R. G. Nuzzo (Univ. of Illinois) 

In our previous work ([l], see also previous abstract), we analyzed the final product - a bimetallic Pt-Ru supported nanoparticle - as obtained from the precursor 

PtRuSC(C0)le by activation at Hz at 673 K. Here we present the results of in situ 

evolution of the precursor into a bimetallic nanoparticle. 

XANES measurements at Pt L3 edge (Fig. 1) have been performed at different 

temperatures at Ha flow. They correspond to different stages of chemical evolution. We found chemical evidence for the loss of CO ligands with temperature as evidenced in dramatic reduction in amplitude of the white line as temperature in- creases. This amplitude reduction is also consistent with the particle size increase 

with temperature, observed in STEM measurements. We also observed a shift in 

the edge position to lower binding energies resulting from the formation of an increasingly metallic state with temperature in the presence of Hz. 

EXAFS analysis of Pt L3 and Ru K edge data confirmed the above XANES 

results on the fragmentation of the molecular precursors, loss of the CO ligands, 

and increase of the cluster size with temperature. Over the temperature range 300 - 473 K, the precursor molecules (Fig. 2, left) aggregate into a cherry-like structure 

with Pt atoms occupying core sites (Fig. 2, center). Upon further temperature 

increase the structure transforms into its final form (Fig. 2, right) with Pt atoms 

preferentially occupying surface sites.

I XAFS Analysis of Particle Size Effect on Local Structure of BaTiOs I X16C [ 

A.I. Frenkel and D.A. Payne. (U. Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) 

The local structure of several samples of BaTi03 prepared by solution-gelation 

method with different particle sizes (less than 0.1 pm) and a sample with - 10 pm 

particle size has been investigated using the X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure 

(XAFS) technique. Although the macroscopic crystal striictiire changes from tetragonal to cubic at room temperature when the particle size is less than 0.1 pm. 

we obtained that Ti atoms are displaced from the center of cubic symmetry for all 

the samples studied. Both EXAFS (Fig. 1) antl XANES (Fig. 2) measurements 

demonstrate that there is no difference in the local structure around Ti for the 

reference sample with a macroscopic particle size (10 pm) where it is known that 

the local striictiirc is off-centrosyniinetric and the samples with d < 0.1 pni where 

the local structure is nnknown. XANES behavior in the Is + 3d transition region 

(4965-4970 e\') is particularly sensitive to the tlispnccments of Ti atorris from the 

center of 0 octahedron [1] (the area under the pcak depeiitls qiiaclratically on the 

displacement). ant1 our results prove that local tlisplacenieiits are almost the same 

in all the samples studied. 

The existence of different local and macroscopic structures means that the local distortions from tlie average striictiirc arc tlisortlcretl. This result agrees with 

previous Rariiari spectroscopy nieasiirenients [2] where the struct,ure ot tlie samples with particles smaller than 0.1 pin was obtairietl to he non-cubic. In addition

I X16C 1 Preparation and Characterization of Carbon Supported Pt-Ru 

Nanoparticle Catalysts 

LIS. Nashner, A.I. Frenkel? D.L. Adler, J.R. Shapley, and R.G. Nuzzo (UIUC) 

Bimetallic nanoparticles supported on carbon black were prepared from a 

PtRiijC(C0)lG molecular cluster precursor by activation at Hz at 673 K [l]. The 

narrow compositional distribution. which was found to be centered at 15 Pt:Ru 

ratio, suggests a uniform coalescence of the precursor clusters upon activation. hlicrotliffraction measurements indicate the formation of nanoparticles with an fcc 

microstructure even though the bulk structure for this composition is hcp. The 

nanoparticles undergo reversible oxidation forming a metal-oxide surface and a core 

of metal. The Pt Ls-edge arid Ru IC-edge EXAFS data indicated that bimetallic 

nanoparticles of - 12 .& in diameter were formed where the Pt centers segregate to 

the surface of the fcc Ru structure. The hemispherical shape and riori-statistical 

distribution of atonis in the nanoparticle were establishcd iising a simultaneous 

miiltiplc-scatteririg EXAFS analysis of Pt L3 and Ru IC edge data through the 4th 

shcll rtroiintl the central atom. In support of the EXAFS measurements, STEhI 

nieasiirenients (Fig. 1) tlenionstratetl the formation of an cxtreiiiely narrow size 

distribntion centered around an average of - 15 I\ (Fig. 2). 

These resiilts provide exciting precedent of the preptrration of carbon-supported 

Pt-Rii narioparticles with composition that span the binary phase diagram. Further 

studies of the structure arid reactivity of thesc phases [2] provide insight, into tlie 

riatiire of the activity of bimetallic catalysts in Direct 1Ietlianol Fuel Cells [3].

We have developed a scanning x-ray microprobe (XMP) on beamline X16C. The 

principal components of the XMP are a horizontally collimating, double Si(ll1) 

crystal monochromator with an energy range from 5 - 20 keV, a pair of glancing 

incidence, elliptically bent mirrors for focusing in the vertical and horizontal, respectively. The mirrors produce a beam of approximately 3 x 20 pm with a flux of 

10' photons/sec at 8 keV. This represents a gain in flux of 65 over a pinhole with 

the same area. The diffractometer used with our XMP has a detector arm with two 

degrees of freedom and micron sample positioning capability. 

One of the key applications of the Bell Labs XMP has been in the micro- structural characterization of laterally patterned opto-electronic devices such as the 

electro-absorption modulator laser (EML). The EML is a monolithically integrated 

InGaAsP multi-quantum well (MQW) laser and electo-absorption modulator which 

has been demonstrated to speeds of 10 Gbits/sec. The EML has a 1 pm wide active 

region and is buried under a few microns of InP. While strain is crucial to the efficient operation of the device, too much strain can cause misfit dislocations which 

provide non-radiative recombination centers, fatal to laser operation. The XMP 

is the only probe with which to non-destructively measure the strain in the buried 

EML device. By measuring radial Bragg scans through the MQW superlattice peaks 

at several positions on the EML device (see Figure) we are able to make a spatial 

map of the MQW strain (position of Oth-order superlattice peak). This microscopic 

strain map has been crucial in a redesign of the growth masks in order to control the 

strain in the MQW. The Bragg scans also tell us about the MQW period (superlattice spacing) and composition (relative superlattice intensities). Maps of the period 

and composition have enabled us to more accurately target lasing wavelengths. Accurate positioning of the wavelengths is becoming more important as wavelength 

multiplexing, requiring many (8, 16, 32, ....) very closly spaced frequency channels, 

becomes the norm in high speed lightwave communications.

Dense isotropic polycrystalline San Carlos olivine were fabricated at high pressure 

and high temperature in a Girdle-type high pressure apparatus using hot-pressing 

techniques developed previously by Gwanmesia and Liebermann (1992; see also 

Gwanmesia et al., 1993) and crushed natural crystals as starting materials. These 

specimens have bulk densities within 1% of the X-ray density and exhibit compressional (P) wave and shear (S) wave velocities within 1% of single crystal elastic 

moduli of Kumazawa and Anderson (1969). Recent technological development in 

our laboratory has enabled precise interferometric measurements of elastic wave velocities in mienrals to be performed to pressures of 9 GPa and temperatures of 

1500 K in a DIA-type, cubic anvil apparatus (SAM85) interfaced with white X-ray

Adpatation of the ultrasonic interferometric techniques to be used in a cubic 

anvil high pressure apparatus installed at the National Synchrotron Light Source 

(X17B1) of the Brookhaven National Laboratory allows simultaneous ultrasonic and 

synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements at high pressure antl high temperarure 

in polycrystalline specimens. Cold-pressed and polished NaCl pellets (with grain 

size on the order of microns) capable of transmitting high frequency (to 60 hIHz) 

acoustic waves on the bench were used as the specimens. Experimental runs have 

been attempted to 8 GPa and 700 K with the pressure determined bv the X-ray 

diffraction volume change of the specimen and temperature monitored actively with 

a IV-Re thermocoiiplc. This new development extends the measurement capability 

of ultrasonic equation of state experiments on NaCl at simdtaneons elevated pressure arid temperature by a factor of' 10 in pressure arid at comparable temperature, 

which is limited at present by the recrystallization of NaCl at higher temperature, 

Further cle\~elopnient iii sample handling, c.g. keeping the sample in extremely dry

I An ExDerimental Design for Low Pressure and Hiwh Temperature I X17B1 I 

J. Chen (CHiPR? SUNY at Stony Brook) 

While people are striving for higher and higher pressure to study the physical 

properties of materials under high pressure, there still are many demands for in 

situ x-ray diffraction experiments at low pressure (< 1 GPa) and high temperature, 

for example, phase relation of enstatite and zeolite. Some materials may have a 

restricted phase stability field below 1 GPa. However, the existing high pressure 

diffraction designs of a DIA-type press are generally suitable for high temperature 

experiments at the pressures above 1 GPa. For carrying out a high temperature 

experiment below 1 GPa, the major problems with a regular 6 mm high pressure cell 

(Figure 1) is a) unstable electrical contact between anvil and heating component: 

b) unfavorable pressure control because of the very low required load. 

To perform such a low pressure antl high temperature experiment. a large anvil 

truncation high pressure cell was designed (Figure 2). Six steel anvils with the truncation size of 15 mm were used. The size of pressure medium was 20 x 20 x 20 ~nm. The pressure efficiency was reduced by 1 order so that a good contact was achieved 

by much higher load at the sample pressure as low as 0.3 GPa. A tlierniocoiiplc 

was inserted from one end of the heater to avoid the partial overheating diic to 

the thermocouple hole on the heater sleeve (Figure 1). ,411 experiment was carried 

out to stiitly the phase boundary between orthocnstatite arid protoenstatite. The 

sample was heated up to 1600 "C at 0.3 GPa. Sonic diffraction patterns which (lo 

not have the characteristics of either phase were observed at the temperature above 

1000°C. Fiirthcr investigation is in progress.

Following Olivine-Spinel Phase Transition in Fayalite with TIPS 

J. Chen and D.J. Weidner (CHiPR, SUNY, Stony Brook) 

The mechanism of the olivine-spinel phase transition has been investigated by 

several groups. Sung and Burns [1,2] proposed a diffusion-controlled process, incoherent nucleation of the spinel phase and subsequent crystal growth; Kronberg 

[3] and Poirier [4] proposed a shear mechanism, stacking faults in oxygen lattice 

of olivine in company with cation reordering. More interesting result reported by 

Furnish and Bassett [5] from their in situ x-ray diffractions in a diamond anvil cell 

(DAC) suggested a two-step shear mechanism with stacking faults prior to the cation 

reordering. Using the newly developed translating imaging plate system(T1PS) for 

high pressure diffraction at X17B1, we studied the mechanism of the olivine-spinel 

phase transition in fayalite. 

The experiment was carried out by compressing the sample at room temperature 

into the spinel stability field (6.9 GPa) and then heating the sample. The sample 

transformed from olivine to spinel during the heating. A time-resolved pattern was 

recorded when the temperature increased from 300' C to 400' C. The transporting 

speed of the imaging plate was 3.25mm/min. The heating rate was 1.75 'C/min. 

Figure 2 shows the time resolved diffraction pattern. Structure refinements were 

done base on the diffraction patterns during the phase transition. Figure 2 shows an example of the refinement. The result shows that the oxygen framework of 

mine1 structure is formed Drior to the ordering of cations into the tetrahedral and

J. Chen, D. J. Weidner, hI. T. Vaughan and H. Kagi (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The lower mantle is considered mainly consisting of (Fe,hIg)Si03 perovskite and 

hfgO periclase. As one of the studies on rheological properties of mantle minerals[1,2]. we carried out the stress measurement on perovskite and periclase in the 

T-cup press. In our previous study. we have found that the upper mantle mineral 

olivine is much weaker than the transition zone minerals. wadsleyite and ringwoodite. especially when water is present. Rheological properties of lower mantle minerals 

are important for constraining mantle convection ancl understanding the origin of 

deep focus earthquakes. 

The perovskite sample was synthesized at 26 GPa ancl 1800°C using the 

USSA42000 press at Stony Brook. The strnctnre mas confirmed by x-ray diffraction before tlie experiment. The powdered sample was first compressed up to 20 

GPa at room temperature antl then was heated up to 1000°C stepwise. At each 

heating step tlie temperature was lieltl for several tens of minutes tlnring which 

diffraction data are recorded as a function of time. The results arc shown in Figlire 1 antl Figure 2. The perovskite arid periclase have quite tliffcrent rheological 

properties. the perovskitc is very strong arid the prriclase is very weak. 

i\lthoiigh the perovskitc shows very strong rheological behavior. the lower mantle 

may still have weak characteristics since hIgO is much weaker, being comparable

An imaging plate (IP) has great potential to acquire high quality in situ xray diffraction data at high pressure and temperature in both a diamond anvil cell 

(DAC) 11-21 and large volume apparatus 13-41, The off-line developing of an imaging 

plate is a disadvantage for quick data collections. Effortls have been macle to install 

an on-lone imaging plate scanner for reducing the operation time. Time resolution 

in the sequence of consecutive exposures is on t,he order of tens of minutes. Recently 

rapid development of a CCD (charge coupled device) provides a good opportunity 

to perform time resolved data collection. Nevertheless. the current commercial 

CCD has very limited active detecting area (-50 x 50 nini2) which results in a 

relative low resolution when the CCD is used to record a large-range tl-spacing 

pattern. SVe have developed a translating imaging plate system (TIPS) with the 

large-volume multi-anvil apparatus SAhI85 at t,lie heamlinc X17B1 to acquire tiriie 

resolved diffraction. 

IVc introduced a lead screen with a vertical slit in the middle in the front of 

the imaging plate to define the tlirnension of exposure on the detector (Figure 1). 

The imaging plate holder is nioiintrtl on a horizontally motor-control stage, ancl the 

translation guide block is pcrpentliciilar to the iricitlerit x-ray beam. A 200 nim x 

400 mm imaging plate is iised for the data collection. \Vidth of the slit is acljustetl

X17B1 Comparison of Experimental Electron Spectra with the Integrated

L. Flesch, B. Li, J. Zhang, J. Cooke, R. Liebermann, and M. Vaughan, (CHiPR, 

SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Polycrystalline samples of MgSi03-orthopyroxene were hot pressed at pressures 

of 4 GPa and temperatures of 1250 K in a uniaxial split-cylinder apparatus (USCA1000). The recovered specimens have a bulk density within 1% of the x-ray density, 

and compressional and shear wave velocities within 1% of the Hashin-Shtrikman 

averages of the isotropic velocities calculated from the single crystal elastic moduli. 

Preliminary acoustic velocity studies were performed on these samples; we have 

successfully measured P-wave travel times as functions of pressure to 6.5 GPa and 

temperature to 1300 K in a DIA-type, cubic anvil apparatus (SAM 85) installed on the superconducting wiggler beamline (X17B) at the National Synchrotron Light 

Source of the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Measurements have been made on beamline X17B1 of the emitted electron spectra for 58 keV photons incident on a 680 A titanium target and a 400 A carbon 

target. The goal of this work is to examine the prominent features of the electron 

spectra, such as the Compton-recoil, Auger, and photo-electrons, and to determine 

how well they are described by current transport models. The measurements were performed at zero degrees with respect to the incoming photon beam. The electrons were energy analyzed using a semihemispherical, double focussing electrostatic 

analyzer coupled to a channeltron electron multiplier for electron detection. 

1. The peaks representing the 

Compton-recoil electrons at 10 keV and the Auger electrons at 4 keV stand out 

clearly. Also shown are the results of a simulation of 58 keV photons incident on 

680 A Ti performed with the TIGER code, one of the Integrated TIGER Series 

(ITS) electron/photon transport codes, Ver 3.0 [l]. This curve has been normalized 

to the area under the experimental Compton peak from 4.5 to 14.0 keV. Overall, the 

agreement is satisfactory: the ratio of the experimental Compton to Auger yields 

is 0.91 while the same ratio for the simulated yields is 0.81. However, there are 

some obvious differences, the most notable of which is the fact the the simulated 

spectrum does not take account of the broadening of the electron spectrum caused 

by the internal motion of the electrons, the Compton profile.

X17B1 Strength Measurements of Carbonado, A Natural Polycrystal Diamond. 

H. Kagi, J. Sweeney, J. Chen and D.J. Weidner (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Carbonado is a natural polycrystal diamond, and its texture can be similar to that 

of an artificial sintered diamond. Carbonado is expected to be one of the strongest 

material in terms of hardness, because each micro crystal constituting carbonado 

polycrystal is arranged without orientation and there exists direct covalent bonding 

of diamond between micro crystals. In the grain boundaries, it is known that some other minerals are contained as impurities. To obtain information on the strength 

of carbonado, we observed stress-induced line broadening of X-ray diffraction lines 

of carbonado diamond at high pressure and high temperature. The cell assembly we used is a typical high pressure cell for a DIA-type, cubic anvil, high pressure 

apparatus on X-17B1. Carbonado was loaded into a boron nitride capsule after 

grinding to powder. This was because a chunk sample (carbonado as it is) without 

powdering cannot be expected to reveal line broadening induced by grain contacts. 

NaCl powder was also loaded in the cell assembly for a pressure calibration, and a thermocouple was located in the center of the sample. Pressure was increased 

to around 10 GPa at room temperature, and (111) diffraction peak of diamond 

(carbonado) broadened and peak position shifted toward the lower d-spacing. At 

the highest pressure, temperature of the cell was increased to around 1500 degree 

C and change in the line shape was observed. We are going to compare the results 

from two different types of carbonado, and the difference from the artificial diamond 

powder will be considered. 

X17B1 Direct Determination of Pressure-Temperature Paths in the LaserHeated Diamond Anvil Cell 

A. Kavner and T. Duffy (Princeton U.), G. Shen (CARS), D. Heinz (U. Chicago), 

and R. Jeanloz (U.C at Berkeley) 

The determination of accurate pressure-temperature equations of state require 

reliable in-situ standards. To establish a high-pressure high-temperature diamond 

anvil cell standard, and to investigate the conditions inside the sample chamber at 

extreme P-T conditions, the behavior of platinum was examined at high pressures 

and temperatures in the double-sided laser-heated diamond anvil cell. The lattice 

parameter of platinum normal to the diamond-loading axis was monitored as a function of temperature, and was compared with the pressure-temperature equation 

of state determined from the shock Hugoniot. 

Traditionally, pressure cannot be measured during laser heating, so the pressure 

at high temperatures is taken to be either the pressure measured before heating, 

the pressure measured directly afterwards, or a combination of the two. Extensive 

pressure changes within the sample chamber occur at high temperatures, as recorded 

by the lattice parameter of platinum, that are not apparent from looking at the 

difference in the room temperature measurements taken before and after heating 

(Fig 1). These pressure drops are too large to be accounted for by a thermal 

pressure or thermal expansion effect, and possibly occur as a result of gasket and 

cell relaxation at elevated temperatures. The relaxation effect was still present, yet 

less pronounced during a second heating cycle of the same sample. The experiments 

were repeated using alumina and NaCl as insulating layers, with alumina showing an enhanced relaxation effect.

I X17B1 I I High Pressure High Temperature Behavior of an Iron-Nickel Meteorite 

A. Kavner and T. Duffy (Princeton U.), G. Shen (CARS), and R. Jeanloz (U.C at 

Berkeley) 

Terrestrial planetary interiors are presumed to be composed of an iron nickel alloy 

with a range of lighter mass impurities. The behavior of planetary cores helps govern the planetary dynamics. including differentiation, magnetic field effects, and the 

heat transfer that controls convective properties. Experimental insight into the behavior of core-type alloys is of great interest to dynamicists and mineral physicests. 

Iron-rich metallic meteorites are thought to be remnants of the differentiated core of 

a protc-planet; perhaps similar to bodies that coalesced to form t,he Earth antl other 

The high-pressure high-temperature behavior of an iron-nickel 

meteorite was examined using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell in combnation 

with in-situ x-ray diffraction. 

At room pressure arid temperature, the iron nickel meteorite is in the bcc striictiire, antl transforms to hcp iinder pressures above 5 GPa. The hcp sample is heated 

to about 1000 K at 20 GPa, arid irnrnetliatel?; transforms to an fcc structured material. \Vith further heating (1000-2500 K) the sample remained in its fcc structure, 

however there were significant changes in the line intensities. indicating solid-state

specimen (K270) mas hot-pressed at 15GPa and 1500 K in a 1000-ton Uniaxial 

Split Cylinder Apparatus (USCA-1000). The sample was identified as single phase 

of wadslcyite by X-ray diffraction with a bulk density of 3.470 g/cm3 (0.2% porosity). Compressional arid shear wave velocities at ambient P arid T agree with 

single crystal data (Sawamoto et al., 1984) within 0.5%. High P antl T ultrasonic 

measurements in the SAXI-85 apparatus are implemcntcd by mounting an acoustic

specimen (G717) was hot-pressed at 6 GPa and 1400 K in a girdle- anvil, highpressure apparatus. The sample was identified as single phase of forsterite by X-ray 

diffraction with a bulk density of 3.20 g/cm3 (0.3% porosity). Compressional and 

shear wave velocities at ambient P and T agree with single crystal data (Kumazawa 

and Anderson, 1969) within 1%. High P and T ultrasonic measurements in the 

SAM-85 apparatus are implemented by mounting an acoustic transducer at the 

back of the WC anvil and enclosing alumina as extended buffer rod inside the cubic boron epoxy pressure medium. The sample is surrounded by NaCl and BN to 

minimize non-hydrostatic stress. X-ray diffraction spectra from both the sample 

and NaCl were recorded at elevated pressures and temperatures from which the 

unit cell volumes of the sample and cell pressures were retrieved. The temperatures were measured using thermocouples adjacent to the sample. The experimental P-T 

path has been designed to minimize non-hydrostaticity and to optimize acoustic 

signals. Complete P-V-T and Vp and Vs data for the specimen G717 have been 

collected up to 8 GPa and 1300 K with dense coverage in P-T space by performing a few compression/heating and decompression/cooling cycles below these conditions. Combining P-V-T and acoustic data will provide the absolute pressure scale 

and precise determination of elastic moduli K and G and their pressure and temperature. These data are very important parameters needed for modelling mantle 

compositions and interpreting the 410 km discontinuity in the Earth’s transition 

zone.

The pressure -volume-temperature (P-V-T) behavior in SiOz-stishovite has been 

studied using a DIA-type, cubic-anvil apparatus (SAM 85) and in situ synchrotron 

X-ray diffraction at the superconducting wiggler beamline (X-17B) of the National 

Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven Nationaal Laboratory. Polycrystalline 

specimens previously hot-pressed in a uniaxial split-sphere apparatus were used 

to minimize the deviatoric stress which could affect the accuracy of cell parameter 

determination. The P-V-T data to pressures of 10 GPa and temperatures of 1300 K were analyzed using several approaches, including a temperature-dependent BirchMurnaghan equation-of-state, isothermal compression, and isobaric expansion. The 

results obtained from these different approaches show that the entire data set is 

internally consistent. The bulk modulus (KO) and axial compressibility of stishovite 

are compared with values obtained from Brillouin scattering and diamond-anvil cell 

X-ray studies on single crystal stishovite and ultrasonic studies on polycrystalline 

specimens. The temperature derivative of bulk modulus at zero pressure (dK/dT) 

was measured for the first time to be -0.036(11) GPa/K.

Hydrothermal conversion of zeolites is an alternate route for preparation of zeolites and other aluminosilicate materials. Hydrothermal conversion of zeolite LiA(BMr). LiAISiO't H20, into a-eucryptite, LiAISi04, occur at temperatures above 

350 C. This is the first in-situ study of a high temperature hydrothermal synthesis using time resolved powder diffraction. Hydrothermal reactions were performed 

in stainless steel capillaries with a diameter of 1.6 mm. In order to maintain hydrothermal conditions. a hydraulic pressure of 2-300 atm was applied. 35-40 keV 

synchrotron X-ray radiation was used in order to penetrate the steel capillaries. 

Angle dispersive time resolved powder diffraction patterns were collected using a 

Translating Imaging Plate (TIP) camera. Anhydrous Li-ABW, LiAlSiO.1 was used as the starting material, antl the rehydration into zeolite Li-A(BW) as well as the 

subsequent conversion into a-eucrvptite mere observed. Using integrated intcnsities of a number of diffraction peaks, transformation and crystallization ciirvcs were obtained. Figiire 1 shows a 3-clirnensional representation of a small part of the

High quality polycrystalline specimens of the kIgSiO3 perovskite have been synthesized in a 2000-ton multianvil split-sphere apparatus (USSA-2000) at 26 GPa 

and 1350°C using glass as the starting material. The perovskite structure has been 

confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses from the ends of 

the cylindrical specimens. After polishing the specimens under liquid nitrogen (to 

protect them from morphization) we performed pilot acoustic experiment at room temperature to the pressures up to 5 GPa in a 1000-ton uniaxial split-cylinder ap 

paratus (USCA-1000) press. The acoustic quality of perovskite specimen was to 

be excellent at elevated pressure, but the acoustic echoes were barely observable at room pressure. most likely the to the large grain size of synthesized material (up 

to 50 microns). Two subsequent experiments have been performed in a DIA-type, 

cubic anvil apparatus (SAM 85) installed on the superconducting wiggler beamline (X17B) at the National Synchrotron Light Source of the Brookhaven National 

Laboratory. The coiistic measurements were performed siniultaneonsly with in-situ 

X-ray diffraction monitoring of the perovskite sample and NaCl standard, which 

was used to determine the pressiire. (Lieberrnann et al., 1997, AIRAPT). The ternperatlire was measured by two thermocouples arid the gradient tleterminetl to be 

less than 10C/mrn. As a result of these experiments, the shear elastic rnotlulus of 

hIgSiO3 perovskite has been measured as a fiiriction of temperature and pressure 

for the first time.

split-sphere apparatus (USSA-2000). Intermediate compositons were synthesized 

at pressures of 15 GPa and temperatures above 1800 K. The pressure -volumetemperature (P-V-T) behavior in these specimens has been studied using a DIAtype, cubic-anvil apparatus (SAM85) and in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction at 

the superconducting wiggler beamline (X-17B) of the National Synchrotron Light 

Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The P-V-T data to pressures of 8

Determining the effect of pressure on the elastic properties of materials is essential 

for understanding mecahnical stability of solids, material strength, seismology and 

phase transformation mechanisms. We report the setting up of an experimental 

technique which is capable of measuring the elastic properties of materials at Mbar 

pressures and temperatures of the order of 2000 K from powder samples. 

Elastic constants of the polycrystalline specimen are obtained from evaluating the 

variation of the d-spacing as a function of q, the angle between the idirection and 

the stress axis of the sample in the diamond anvil cell [1]. Radial x-ray diffraction 

technique at ultr-high pressures using a high strength Be gasket makes such a mea- surement possible. However, the diffraction data has to be collected from extremely 

small sample volumes (typically 5-10 p3) enclosed in a relatively thick Be smaple 

chamber. This requires the use of a high brilliance, white x-ray source available 

at the wiggler beamlines. To enable data collection from a stationary smaple, an 

array of detectors are used wherein each detector images a small range of 9 values so that all the data can be collected at the same time. The diffraction angle and 

the diffracting volume are fixed by a specially designed conical slit assembly. The 

advantage of such a technique also being that laser heating of the sample becomes 

possible to allow studying elastic properties of materials at extreme P. T conditions 

for which we have installed a double sided laser heating set up using a Nd:YAG 

laser. Representative data collected from our studies on a geologically important 

material, FeO are shown below.

A sharp quasi-Bragg peak in the critical scattering on top of a broad Lorentzian 

shaped peak for a SrTiOs-crystal has been recently observed by x-ray scattering. 

Thereby, the coexistence of two components in the critical scattering suggests the 

existence of two length scales in the critical fluctuations. Although the origin of 

the sharp component is not clear, it is believed to be related to surface phenomena 

such as local distortions around defects close to the surface. 

In a recent experiment done at X14A, we observed a similar effect in the line 

shape of the critical diffuse scattering in a longitudinal [0 1 11 scan at T=Tc+Ci.2 

K in a V2H crystal. As shown in fig. 1, the measured profile clearly consists of 

a sharp arid a broad coniporient at a temperature of T=Tc+6.2 K measured in 

reflection geometry with a x-ray energy of 11.95 keV. In order to probe whether 

the two coniponents in the line shape are related to the two-length scale issue or 

not, we performed a high energy diffraction experiment in transmission geometry at 

the high energy bearnlirie X17B1 using 44.1 keV photons. A Si-111 aualyzrr c 

with a Ge-solid state detector was used to increase the q-resolution arid siipprc' 

X/2-contribution. In this esperinicnt, we nieasiiretl the "true" bulk behavior and 

not just the behavior of the first 50 pm below the surface, since the ciitirc crystal 

voliime is probed by the iricitlerit beam ovrr the illiiniinated region. Figlire 2 shows

1 X17B1 I Equations of State of hIgSiOs in the Sub-Perovskite Pressure Range I* 

AI. T. Vanghan, E. K. Bell, and J. Z. Zhang (CHiPR, SUNY at Stony Brook) 

The study of the phase relations of (h,Ig.Fe)SiOs (1996 NSLS Activity Report, 

B14.5) is continuing with a measurement of the equation of state (EoS) of the magnesium end member of the hIg-Fe solid solution described above. 

The study was going to be the measurement of stress relaxation of the ilmenite 

phase at about 10 GPa. at various high temperatures. The ilmenite sample studied 

previously (ibid), mas from a natural enstatite and had about 10 mole percent 

FeSiOs, as mell as small amounts of AI. There were several problems, antl a reliable 

EoS has not yet been determined from that data set. 

The current. LIg encl-member sample. was much less stable, and after a few 

minutes at 600°C it transformed to a high-pressure form of clinoenstatite. The unit 

cell volume of the HP-CEn as a function of presslire and temperature is currently 

being determined. The instability of the ilmenite phase is understandable. because 

we are operating outside of its stability field, hiit it is not known why the endInemher is so much less stable than the natural sample. 

Further work on the hIgSiOs end rncmber will require high temperature measurements within (or closer to) its stability field. 2.e. > 18 GPa (see Figure l.)

Use of Sintered Diamond Anvils in a 6-8 High-pressure Apparatus I* 

M. T. Vaughan, D. J. Weidner, J. H. Chen, and C. C. Koleda (SUNY at Stony 

Brook) 

The pressure capability of the Tcup apparatus (NSLS Activity Report 1995, B140; 1996, B-145) has been extended to 22.8 GPa by the use of sintered diamond 

for the 1 cm cubes used as a second stage (Figure 1). The sintered diamonds were Advanced Diamond Compacts (ADCs). ADC is a natural diamond product hotpressed with a Sic binder at modest pressure ("2 GPa). We achieved a pressure 

equivalent to our best tapered anvil run, with a maximum pressure of 22.8 GPa 

with a load of 110 tons. The untapered ADC pressure-load curve is tangent to 

the equivalent untapered WC curve at pressures below 5 GPa, but with much 

less curvature above there. We expect 

tapered ADC anvils to exhibit similar pressure increases. If we taper the anvils, 

and extroplate along the best -2" tapered trajectory, we would expect the pressure 

to reach 30 GPa at 120 tons (Figure 2). 

At 110 tons, there is a 6GPa increase.

We report some preliminary results in an in-situ study on zeolite A, using SAM85. A large volume BN cell (20x20~20 mm) was used and two samples were packed 

in the cell: a pure zeolite A, and the other mixed with 5 wt percent glass; they were 

separated by a layer of NaC1, also used as the pressure standard. Strong diffraction 

signals were observed at 1 bar for both samples (Figs. 1A and 2A). At 2 kbar 

and room temperature, diffraction peaks became broad and weak (Figs. 1B and 

2B). In the glass-containing sample, close to the sample/NaCl interface (0.1 mm), 

additional peaks appeared (compare Fig. 2B with IB); 0.2 - 0.3 mm away from 

the interface, the spectrum ressembles that of an amorphous material (Fig. 2C). 

Upon increasing temperature, pure zeolite quickly transformed into sodalite around 

800°C (Fig. 1C). For the glass-containing sample, those new peaks persisted (Fig. 

2D). These phenomena will be examined further in future experiments.

The strength of the material of the transition zone at the pressures and temperatures appropriate to subduction have been determined in the laboratory using both 

the DIA and T-cup multi-anvil pressurizing systems and synchrotron radiation at 

the X17B1 wiggler port at the NSLS. 

The measnrement technique consists of several steps: 1. A loose powder sample 

is used in the stndy. The deviatoric stress is gencratcd by the stress concentrations 

between grains. Typically, in the elastic region, (ul - u3) = 1.5 times the pressnre on loading. As the yield point is obtained, the differential stress falls below this 

value. 2. The cliffercntial stress is monitored as a fnnction of time by recording 

diffraction spectra every 30 seconds after heating to the desired temperatiire. This 

time dependence reflects the effective power law for the stress release proccss. The 

time interval varies from an how to a few days. 3. Several recovered samplcs are examined with TEhI to dcfinc the flow mechanism. This methodology is limited to 

relatively small plastic strains (a few percent) antl the ttireslioltl deviatoric strcss 

that can be observed is of the order of 0.1 GPa. These data have been obtained for

Strength of the Subducted Slab: Implications for Deep Focus Earthquakes * X17B1 The Rheological Study of *'Super Dry'' Forsterite at High Pressure 

and Temperature 

Y. \Vu, D. J. Weidner, J. Lin. hI. Vanghan and J. Zhang (CHiPR. SUNY at Stony 

Brook) 

The variation of the differential stresses of "super dry" forsterite with pressure, 

temperature and relaxation time was studied using the DIA type cubic anvil apparatus at the X-17B1 beam line. 

Before the experiment, the synthesized polycrystalline forsterite hIg2Si04 mas 

ground to fine powder. then heated at 12OO0C for 20 hours to dehytlrate. IVe call the 

forsterite after this treatment "super dry" forsterite. Following this treatment, the 

sample was stored in an oven at 120°C until the experiment. During the experiment, 

the powder sample was first compressed to 9 GPa at room temperatnre, then heated 

up gradnlly to 800°C. By analysis thc peak broadening, we get the differential strains 

X17B1 

of the sample. 

Ow priliminary result shows that the "super drv" forsterite reached yield point 

aronnd 3 GPa at room temDerature. The differential stress increased slowly with the 

increasing pressnre. The room temperature behavior is consistent with ow earlier 

resnlts(IVn, Y., etc.,1996). Under the 9.4 GPa confining pressnre. we measured the 

tliffcrential strain at 200°C, ?OO"C, 500°C. 600°C. 700°C and 800°C. \\-e can see 

the differential strain tlecrcasctl with the increasing temperatiire. At the specific 

temperatiire, the strain decreased rnonotoriically with the relaxation time, first very 

fast, the hecanie slower. These behaviors are ;dso similinr to ow earlier results (IVii, 

Y., etc. 1996). However, the "super dry" sample appears to be significantly strongrr 

than the untreated sample. Fnrther data ardysis is still in progress.

Houston), P. Wochner (BNL) 

A single crystal of LanCuO4.os, annealed at 110°C was studied in a high energy 

diffraction experiment at beamline X17B1 using 71keV photons. The crystal was charged by electrochemical intercalation. Two orthorhombic phases were observed 

within the studied temperature range (180-310K) in this single crystal. The major 

orthorhombic phase, with ~90% volume fraction, transforms from a Fmmm phase 

with random CuO6 tilts to a stage-4 phase [1,2], where the CuO6 tilts are ordered 

along the c-axis, at or below room temperature in a second-order fashion. The 

minor orthorhombic phase shows a larger orthorhombicity with 2(b-a)/(a+b)=0.019 

and has, therefore, a higher oxygen content. The integrated intensity of the staging 

satellites was found essentially to be linearly dependent on temperature from slightly 

below 300K to 180K as previously found by Ref. 2. Interstitial oxygen layering 

was observed for the first time in a more straight forward way than through the 

CuOs tilt reversal at oxygen interstitial layers, which is expressed in the Bmab 

staging satellites. This oxygen ordering was documented by the appearance of 

(0,0,lf0.65) satellites at room temperature even in the absence of the tilt-staging 

Bmab satellite peaks. These new satellites are thought to be produced by a periodic 

lattice expansion in c-direction induced by the interstitial oxygens. They are poorly 

correlated in c-direction as can be seen from the broad linewidth of the longitudinal scan of the (0,0,4-0.65) satellite in the inset of Fig.1. The rocking scans (Fig. 1) 

of the (0,0,6f0.65) satellites are identical to the parent (0,0,6) Bragg peak. The 

broad FWHM is either due to a small domain size of the ordered regions or a broad distribution of oxygen staging-layer separations or both. A broad distribution 

would be consistent with our model of the in-plane oxygen ordering [l], which occurs at ~200K for an oxygen concentration of -0.05-0.06. Further experiments 

will investigate the temperature and Q-dependence of these new satellites. These 

studies should give new insights in the driving mechanism for this oxygen layering.

Room Temperature Compression of CdO 

J. Zhang (CHiPR, SUNY at Stony Brook) 

X17B1 

CdO has the NaCl structure at ambient conditions and at pressures at least up 

to 30 GPa. From previous compression study of Drickamer et al. (1966), CdO 

was found to have an anomalously high value of the pressure derivative of the 

bulk modulus (Ko=9) compared to all other NaC1-type oxides (Ko=3.3-4.1). In 

addition, compressibility of CdO decreased with pressure more rapidly than would 

be predicted for ionic compounds, whereas all other NaC1-type oxides were typically 

ionic in binding. 

In view of the fact that the compression data in the work of Drickamer et al. 

(1966) were considerably scattered in the P-V space, here we carried out in-situ 

X-ray diffraction on CdO using a DIA-type multi-anvil apparatus. The volume 

measurements were made up to 8 GPa at room temperature; all data were collected 

after quench from 800 C to minimize nonhydrostatic stress built up during roomtemperature compression or decompression. Due to the limited pressure range of 

the current experiment, KO could not be defined well and was thus fixed in the data 

analysis. For Ko=4 and Ko=9, we obtained KO = 150(2) GPa and KO= 137(2) 

GPa, respectively. In comparison, Drickamer et al. (1966) obtained Ko=108 GPa 

and Ko=9 from the compression data up to 30 GPa. The present results thus show a compressibility that is more than 25 percent smaller than that from previous 

work. Therefore, one can make a stronger statement that the binding in CdO is 

not entirely ionic in comparison with the classic Born-Mayer prediction.

For carbonates of the calcite structure, experimentally measured bulk moduli on 

NiC03, hIgCO3, CoCO3, FeCO3. AInCOS. and CaC03 have been found to deviate 

from empirical predictions, in the sense that substitution of alkaline earth elements 

by the 3d transition metals yields a different bulk modulus-volume relationship (1.: 

2.). Here me report new compression data on ZnC03 and CdC03 from in-situ X-ray 

diffraction, which, in combination with our previous results, completes a systematic 

study of compressibilities for all calcite-structure carbonates. As known from earlier 

work. the bulk moduli of the 3d transition metal carbonates show an inverse correlation with room-pressure R’I-0 bond length and volume that is linear. hIgCOs, 

however, plots well below the trend, and CaC03 slightly below. One particular 

focus of this work is the contribution of the crystal field to the bulk modulus. No 

crystal field effect beyond that reflected in the ionic radii is observed among the 

3d transition metal carbonates, since ZnCOS and XInC03 are colinear with NiC03, 

COCOS arid FeCO3. Notably, the bulk moduli of ZnCO:1 and COCOS are essentially 

identical, as are their ambient hl-0 bond lengths and voliimes. The bulk motlulus 

of CdC03, whose ambient hl-0 boritl length ant1 \wlumc arc only slightly smaller 

than those of calcite, is more than 30 GPa greater than that of calcite, arid falls 

about 1.5 GPa above the trend of the 3tl transition metal carbonates. Hence, ncithw 

bond-length (or volurne) nor crystal-field effect can account for the observed bulk 

niotliili for the complete set of calcite-structure carbonatrs. Systematic behavior 

appears to be liniitetl to subsetas of carbonates whose metal cations share particular 

character of their valence electron, e.g., s-type vs. Rtl vs. 4d shclls.

We have been developing a mammography imaging system using a fluorescent 

screen coupled with a HARP (High-gain Avalanche Rushing amorphous Photo conductor) TV camera, which is a photo-tube camera manufactured by NHK (Japanese 

Broadcasting co.), The camera has a dynamic range of larger than 10,000 and high 

sensitivity, The spatial resolution of 30 microns, with the view size of 30 mm by 

20 mm, was achieved during the phantom experiments on X17B using a Hi-vision 

HARP TV at 20, 25 and 33 keV. 

We have been developing a multi-layer monochromator to get larger integral intensity than that of a Si crystal with lapped surface, whose energy resolution, dE/E,

Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a major cause of stroke. Although carotid artery 

stenosis is a risk factor, the majority of patients with stenosis do not experience a 

stroke. Recent evidence suggests that a certain proportion of the main components 

of carotid atherosclerotic plaques, i.e., fat/cholesterol, fibrous and calcified tissues, 

carry larger risks of stroke. The monochromatic CT system at X17B2 called MECT

hour. It then breathed air for an hour to allow the washout of xenon from the 

lean body mass. The rat was positioned anteroposteriorly in the beam in a prone 

position, tilted upward (i.e., nose-up), and imaged by moving it vertically in the 

path of MECT’s fan-shaped beam. Images were acquired at two beam energies, 

34.40 keV and 34.72 keV, which bracketed the K-edge of xenon (34.56 keV). The 

spatial resolution was improved by taking two sequential images with the rat shifted 

laterally by half the detector’s element spacing between the two, and combining 

them. Fig. 1 shows the above the K-edge (left), below the K-edge (center), and

Intravenous SR coronary angiography is relatively simple and safe so that screen- ing looks promising as an application. For clinical use, the constrnction of a compact 

source at hospitals is required. In order to design a system. it is necessary to investigate the expected image quality by both simulations arid experiments. For 

example, scattering of x-rays and the presence of higher harmonics in the spectrum 

may degrade the quality. 

A two-dimensional imaging system has been adopted for the intravenous SR coronary angiography program iri .Japan. It has many benefits such as easier distinction 

of coronary arteries from piilrrionary arteries and soft tissues because of its motion 

synchronized with the heart beat antl the capability of diagnosis of other heart 

functions such as the rate of blood flow. However, in the 2D mode, scattering of 

x-rays from the patient may cause significant deterioration of image contrast arid 

visibility. The scattering can be suppressed by x-ray grids which itre cornnimonlv 

used at hospitals, biit the inevitable third harmonic cannot he siippressetl. Sirice 

the higher harmonics and scattering cannot be distingiiishetl on the experiniental 

image, simulations may he effective to identify their inflnences on the deterioration 

of the image contrast. JVe have thus tleveloped a simulation program of 11-TV iniages when 2D monochromatic SR x-rays pass throiigh an acrylic phantom with an 

artery. 

In order to verify the image contrast calciilatcd hv the sirnillation program, ex- periments have becn carried out. The experiment was (lone at the Xl7B lieamline 

of the NSLS. An asyrrirrietric, lapped silicon (311) crystal acted as t,he monochromator. The phantom was an acrylic hlock with a liolc~ which imitates a coronary 

artery with diameter 1 - 5 min containing iodine tlilnted by water to 1 to 10%. An 

image intensifier (11) detector was wed. Under the smie conditions, simulations were carried out while taking into account the response function of the I1 for the 

photon energy used. The calculated contrast was conip;ired with the experiment.

A Bent Laue-Laue Monochromator for the Multiple Energy Computed Tomography Project * 

B. Ren, F.A. Dilmanian, X.Y. Wu, X. Huang (BNL), L.D. Chapman, I. Ivanov 

(CSRRI), and Z. Zhong (NSLS) 

A bent Laue-Laue monochromator is being developed for the multiple energy 

computed tomography (MECT) program. The present crystal design, a large 

Czochralski (CZ) Si plate with thick ribs on the top and bottom, was adopted 

after earlier trials using silicon wafer and smaller, float-zone (FZ), ribbed crystals. 

The new system was constructed at CSRRI and BNL. The crystals were Si<lll> 

with 35.36" asymmetric angle. Both crystals employed Laue diffraction lower case to eliminate Laue spot contamination. The crystals were bent by a four-rod bender: 

two fixed and two adjustable. The ends of each adjustable rod was independently 

held by a compression spring. This four-spring configuration allowed efficient removal of crystal twisting. 

The crystals were positioned in the beam such that the diffraction in each crystal came from its vertical center. The bending radius of each crystal was determined 

by measuring its variation of the Bragg diffraction peak of it against a fixed crystal as the height of the crystal changed stepwise. Furthermore, the horizontal profile 

of the 14-cm wide diffracted beam was measured at 0.9-mm resolution using the 

MECT's linear array detector. A 2-dimensional rocking graph was acquired as the 

angle 82 was scanned. The shape of the rocking curve for each horizontal detector 

channel indicated the degree at which the bending radii of the two crystals matched; 

the flatness of the gray scale's bright zone in the 2-dimensional display indicated 

whether there existed twisting, tilting, or 'beam smiling effect' in the system. Much 

effort were spent to remove the twisting and beam smiling. An example of the 2- 

dimensional rocking graph is shown in Fig.1. The bending radius was 4.8 m for the 

first crystal and 4.9 m for the second. The beam size was 140 mm x 2 mm, and the 

beam energy was 41.7 keV. 

The overall shape of the rocking graph was straight except for some small wiggles 

caused by the local crystals non-uniformities. The 1-dimensional rocking curves, 

relating to the central and ends positions of the fan beam are plotted in Fig. 2. 

The flat-top shape in all these three curves, particularly at the relatively large 

beam height of 2 mm, indicate that the bending radii matched over the entire 

width of the crystals. The beam stability was tested at the monochromator's tuned 

configuration. The horizontal beam profile, normalized to that a certain time, was stable within 0.1% for two minutes period. This stability is markedly better than 

that of the previous flat Laue-Laue monochromator of the MECT system. * We thank T.S. Dickinson, N.F. Gmiir, J.B. Hastings, A. Lenhard, C. Schulze,

I Beam Harmonics In a Bent Laue-Laue Monochromator 

B. Ren (Med., 

BNL), L.D. Chapman'and I. Ivanov (CSRRI) 

One advantage of a bent Laue-Laue monochromator over the flat Laue-Laue for 

the MECT program (see accompanying abstracts) is the lower beam harmonic con- tamination. The harmonic ratio from two bent-Si<lll>-CZ crystal was measured 

by the Compton scattering method, using a 1/80'' thick Be target tilted to a = 52". 

A Ge detector positioned 90" to the beam measured the scattered beam, while an Ar-filled ion chamber upstream of the Be target monitored incident monochromatic 

beam, tuned to 41.7 keV. The white beam was filtered with additional 1.6 mm Cu 

to enhance the harmonic contents. 

From the dynamical theory, the fundamental beam yield increases and the harmonic beam decreases at the intermediate bending range (3 - 50 m) as the bending 

radius is decreased. Our harmonic-ratio results from Ge detector were, about 20% 

below the predictions, except at p= 11 m, where they were 38% higher. The fundamental beam fluxes measured with Ge detector were 0.3-0.5 of the predictions of 

the code PEPO; the ion chamber results were 0.4-0.6 of PEPO. We suspect that 

the non-centered vertical position of slits in the white beam's path was one of the 

reasons for the low harmonic ratios and low beam fluxes. The imperfect alignment 

of the Ge detector's nozzle could also reduced the beam flux. 

Compared with tuned flat-flat Si <111> crystals at this energy, these results 

showed 5 - 65 fold reduction of the harmonic ratio, and 8-25 fold increased beam 

flux. These characteristics of the new monochromator should substantially improve 

MECT's image quality.

Using Monochromatic X-Rays * X17B2 X17C In Situ Identification of Natural Diamond Inclusions with Synchrotron Microdiffraction 

P. G. Conrad, R. J. Hemley> H. K. Mao, L. W. Finger, J. HLI. J. Shu (Carnegie 

Inst.), B. Harte, h.1 Hutchison (U. of Edinburgh) and J. Harris (U. of Glasgow) 

We have used a white synchrotron beam at X17C to obtain energy dispersive x-ray 

diffraction from natural diamond inclusions in situ, Le., non-destructively. These 

detrital diamonds, from the Siio Luiz deposit in Mato Grosso, Brazil, are of geophysical importance because they are thought to have originated in the earth’s lower 

mantle. Electron microprobe analysis (EPhIA) on other Siio Luiz specimens indicates the chemical compositions of lower mantle phases such as (hIg,Fe)O, ilIgSiO3 

antl CaSiOs together with lower pressure phases aluminous garnet and majorite. 

Because sample preparation for EPhIA necessitates destructive polishing of the 

diamonds to expose the inclusions, any confining pressiire signatures within the diamonds will be lost along with textural information. In situ structural analysis is 

an important advance in the study of crystalline inclnsions within diamonds and 

other xenoliths because it enables 11s to examine samples of the Earth’s mantle that 

are presumably free from alteration or contamination. 

Each diamond is moiinted on a chi circle. the physical dimensions of which constrain the range of omega values we may search using single crystal procedures. By 

rotating the two angles x and w, we can search for single crystal reflections which 

will appear as peaks in an energy dispersive pattern for a specific x antl w when the 

diffraction condition is satisfied. After aligning the inclusion within the path of the 

X ray beam, we can acljust the inclusion’s position witti respect to the detector to 

optimize intensity of the tliffracted beam. IVith the a tance of two KirkpatrickBaez x-ray focusing mirrors, we can achieve a very srriall beam size (aboiit 11x15 

microns). This is useful for srarching for diffraction in very small inclusions that 

are close to one another. 

A typical search for diffraction peaks takes lis through an interval of -2O<w<45 

with <x<18Oo. Once peaks are roughly located, they are precisely centered with 

respect to both c antl w. \I’e calculate an orientation matrix for the diamond which 

is used in two ways: (1) to exclnde diamond peaks from the inclusion peak list 

antl (2) to look for epitaxial relationships between tliarnontl antl inclusion. Once 

two or more inclnsion peaks are itlentified and matched with a prospective phase. 

they may be used to calculate an orientation matrix for the candidate which can, in 

turn. be used to search for further peaks at predicted diffraction conditions. Because 

diffraction intensities can vary. one must niake frcqucnt acljiistrnents to the vertical 

and horizontal slits of the Canberra Ge detector , paying strict attention to signs 

of saturation such as truncated intensities and peak splitting (with respect to w or

X18A Disorder Induced Phase Transition of the Rare Gases in Porous Vycor Glass.* 

D. W. Brown, P. E. Sokol ( Penn. State U.) and S. N. Ehrlich (Purdue) 

Recently a great deal of effort has been expended to study the effects of finite 

size and confinement on the properties of simple gases, liquids, and solids, achieved 

by adsorption into mesoporous materials. Examples of such mesoporous materials 

include sol-gel glasses, porous Vycor glass, zeolites, and of course rocks and cements. 

These porous media are of technological interest in fields such rheology, tribology, 

and materials research. The adsorbed samples provide a platform for fundamental 

studies of surface effects as well as molecular interactions with surfaces which is 

unattainable in bulk samples. While many measurements of macroscopic quantities 

such as the heat capacity of confined materials have been reported few microscopic 

measurements are available. To explore the effects of confinement on the structure 

of the rare gas solids we have carried out X-ray diffraction measurements of the 

structure of Ar and Kr confined to porous Vycor glass as a function of temperature. 

Bulk Ar and Kr crystallize into the fcc structure at 84 K and 116 K respectively 

and remain in this phase to absolute zero. At high temperatures confined Kr and 

Ar solidify into a disordered close packed structure as shown for Ar in figure 1. At 

low temperature the (200) peak along with sharp (resolution limited) companions 

to the high temperature peaks appear indicating a solid - solid phase transition that 

is not present in the bulk phase diagram. W scans reveal the nature of the sample 

responsible for the low temperature peaks to be large grain poly-crystallites rather 

than powder as is seen at high temperature. The inset to figure 1 shows the (200) 

peak with the cell at different orientations exemplifying the non-powder nature of 

the sample. Figure 2 tracks the 

amplitude of the (200) peak as a function of temperature on warming. The (200) 

peak, characterizing the fcc structure, is seen to disappear at a reduced temperature 

of approximately 0.50 for both Kr and Ar. In summary we have shown that disorder 

induced through confinement of Kr and Ar to the pores of Vycor glass stabilizes a novel structure, disordered close packed, as well as spurs a solid - solid phase 

transition that is not present in the bulk phase diagram. * (Work was supported

higher. Figure 1 shows the scattering from the empty cell, liquid Ar and solid 

Ar at high and low temperature. At high temperature 55 K peaks corresponding 

to the fcc (lll), (220), (311) , and (222) are apparent while the (200) peak is 

absent. This is characteristic of a disordered close packed structure. The scattering 

from confined Kr follow a similar pattern. At low temperature the (200) peak

We have performed experiments at X18A under two general user proposals; both 

involve me of x-ray scattering to study th eability of applied shear flows to induce macroscopic molecular orientation in liquid crystalline polymers [LCPs] . This 

structural information is then used to provide insights into the rheological phenom- ena in these complex fluids. The first set of experiments focused on the structural 

origins of so-called ”Region I” shear thinning, an anomaly observed in LPCs at 

low shear rates In one model system, neniatic solutions of poly(benzv1 glutamate) 

[PBG] in m-cresol, Region I is only observed beyond a critical concentration. In 

situ x-ray scattering measiireinents reveal that Region I is caused by the formation 

of a hexagonal phase, and is not a characteristic feature of nematic LCP rheology. 

Figure 1 shows the connection between rheological behavior antl structure, showing 

equitorial scans of scattered intensity obtained during shear flow for four solutions 

at difference concentrations, as compared with independent measurements of rheology in tlie same soliitions. As concentration increa , a shart peak associated with 

t,he hexagonal phasc grows at the extense of the tliffiise peak attributed to lateral 

packing correlations in the nematic phase. 

In addition to establishing the origins of Region I shear thinning in this system, 

we have also observed that application of shear at high rates is able to effect a 

transition from the Iiexagonal phase back to the nematic phase.

Structural Studies of Self-Assembled Alkynyl and Organometallic

Ashok K. Kakkar (McGill U.) 

An evaluation of the structure of molecularly self-organized thin films containing 

long chain rigid-rod alkynyl and dialkynyl chromophores via exclusive pi-pi interactions. is an essential and crucial step for any device applications based on such 

systems, in the field of optoelectronics. conductivity, photoresists etc. We have now 

established an efficient synthetic methodology to such supramolecular structures 

moleciilarly self-assembled on inorganic oxide surfaces.’ Monolayers of a variety 

of alkynyl and dialkynyl chromophores with varied chain lengths and acetylenic 

microstructures mere prepared on single crystal silicon wafers (1” x 3’‘ single side 

polished, 95-105 mils thick). These thin films mere first analyzed by in-house ellipsometry, followed by X-ray reflectivity studies on X18A beamline at NSLS synchrotron facility. In general, there is a good agreement in the thicknesses from X-ray 

reflectivity and ellipsometry measurements. ‘-:{ IVe have begun a study of the surface topochemical polymerization in these oriented alkynyl mono- and miiltilayered 

structiires. Two of the ma.jor requirements for the latter process are orientation of 

alkyriyl chromophores at an angle to the surface, antl uniformity. X-ray reflectivity 

studies in combination with ellipsometry and FTIR;PITR are invaluable techniques 

to address these issues. IVe have also been interested in deterrriiriing the efFrct of 

X-rays on the alkynyl thin films, since alkynyl chromophores are subject to radiation darriage. 111 oiir fiitiire trips to BNL, we shall concentrate on tlie study of the

"60 40 PZT") thin films derived by metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) on 

111 -oriented Pt-coated Si substrates. The PtsPb phase is found to form in a ir 111 orientation, which then enhances the (111) orientation of 60/40 PZT. This 

phase was investigated by using a combination of slower heating rates (25 'C/min) 

than those used in "rapid thermal processing" (RTP) processes, and controlled partial pressures of oxygen. It was found, by switching the process atmosphere from 

oxidizing to reducing (relative to Pb), that it is necessary that the Pt3Pb phase 

be present at the time of PZT crystallization but should not be present in such 

quantity that the growing film is lead-deficient, leading to the formation of a large 

amount of pyrochlore.

Single-crystal x-ray diffraction on indium led to the discovery of 118 half-integral 

hlcl reflections at room temperature. In order to determine whether these unex- pected diffraction peaks arise from a broken symmetry or some other cause, their 

temperature dependence was measured between 20 and 200K on beam line X18A 

at the NSLS. It was found that the "satellite" intensities were essentially linearly 

proportional to Tj so their origin can be attributed to thermal diffuse scattering 

from the lowest phonon mode near the (1/2,1/2,1/2) points of the Brillouin zone boundary. A complete lattice-dynamics calculation is required (and is in progress) 

to investigate whether this satellite-like structure requires the presence of a spindensity-wave broken symmetry or not.

X18A Chevron Structure in the Smectic-A Phase of the Liquid Crystal

Liquid crystals are vital in industry today, being used for liquid crystal displays 

in such electronics as calculators and laptop computers. However, the structure, in 

its various phases, still is not completely known and is worth further study. 

We have begun to study the effects of surface preparation on the structure of the 

Smectic-A (SA) phase of the liquid crystal, M24. Number 1 glass is spin coated 

with three parts ACT600 to one part AL1051 and then baked to evaporate the

optical measurements, it is easily seen that surface alignment of the liquid crystals 

is accomplished. 

Our sample was heated into the liquid phase (i360K) and slowly cooled into 

the SA phase (327.5K-340.0K). X-ray measurements showed the tl-spacing to be 

approximately 32h close agreenierit with accepted measurements. It \vas found 

that as the temperature is decreased within the SI\ phase, the layers begin to form a 

chevron structure. Figure 1 shows the diffraction peaks as a function of k, where k is 

the RIillcr index corresponding to the momentum in the plane perpendiciilar to the 

glass walls. If the layers stayed perpendicular to the glass walls, you mould expect onr peak centered at k=O. The solid line is a scan with the temperat,ure at 340K, jiist 

below the nematic phase. Generally, the layers are perpendicular to the glass walls, 

but multiple peaks can be seen. The dashed line is a scan with the temperature 

at 334K. The two peaks clearly show an increase in the chevron structure that 

continues to increase at lower temperatures, especially at 31HK (dotted line) where 

the liquid crystal has supercooled.

I Competition Between Surfaces in Thin Films of Liquid Crystals * I X18A I

the SA phase (327.5K-340.0K). X-ray measurements showed the d-spacing to be 

approximately 32Ain close agreement with accepted measurements. When rotating 

the sample, chi is defined as the angle such that the normal of the planes is rotating 

radially about the x-ray beam. The sample was mounted such that if the liquid 

crystals aligned themselves to one of the glass slides, one would expect to see a signal 

at either x=90" or 180". As one would expect, the competition between the surface 

forces of the two pieces of glass should cause the liquid crystals to align themselves 

somewhere in between these two values. The figure below shows two runs; one with 

parallel alignment (solid line) and one with perpendicular alignment (dotted line). 

The parallel glass was prepared such that a peak would be seen at either x=Oo or 

180" and indeed, we saw a peak centered at 180". The perpendicular glass showed 

multiple peaks centered at 115". Clearly, there is a competition between the walls 

which causes the liquid crystals to settle between 90" and 180". The multiple peaks 

show that the liquid crystals have not formed into nicely formed layers that stretch 

from wall to wall. Most likely, the liquid crystals closest to each wall are turned 

slightly in the direction of the orientiation of the glass. 

More complete analysis will give analytical values to the shape of these curves, 

especially the perpendicular sample where there is, clearly, at least three peaks.

Long-Range Order and Critical Diffuse Scattering from the Tricritical System V-H near the PI-Pz-Phase Transition * 

J. Trenkler, P. Chow, U. Klemradt, S. C. Moss (U. of Houston), D. Lott (BNLNSLS), S. Ehrlich (Purdue U.), R. Hempelmann (U. des Saarlandes) 

The tricritical behavior of a single domain single crystal of VH0.525 and VH0.547 

has been studied by x-ray scattering. We first measured the tricritical order parameter exponent p of VH0.547 by the temperature dependence of the integrated 

Bragg-intensity of superstructure reflections below the critical temperature Tc. We 

found that VH0.547 passes a large two-phase coexistence region deduced from the 

appearance of a second fundamental reflection in the radial intensity distribution 

around the fundamental reflection (0 3 3) associated with the Pz-high temperature 

phase. The existence of the two-phase region is also shown by a sudden drop in 

the integrated intensity of superstructure reflections as shown in fig. 1. Above the 

critical temperature, weak critical diffuse scattering (CDS) was measured indicating 

that the data is taken in the vicinity of a tricritical point. 

With another single domain single crystal, VH0.525, we recently observed a re- markable change in the intensity line shape of the critical diffuse scattering in the 

longitudinal [0 1 11 scan at T=Tc+6.2 K in an experiment done at the NSLS on X14A. At X18A, the Q- and temperature dependence of this profile was investigated at Q=10.64 1/A with AQ=O.l4 1/A between T=Tc+4 K and T=Tc+9 K 

at a different penetration depth. Fig. 2 gives an example of the measured intensity 

profile consisting of a sharp and a broad component at T=Tc+6.6 K of the (0 5/2 

5/2)-superstructure reflection.

I Preferred Orientation and Anisotropy of Piezoelectric Materials * I X18A I 

Shan Wan and Keith J. Bowman (Purdue University) 

Piezoelectric materials rely upon development of preferred orientation from the 

alignment of domains during poling. The poling effect can be eliminated by thermal 

treatments. Small differences in the relevant (200) and (002) peaks, fine domain 

structures and modest degrees of orientation in tetragonal piezoelectric materials make four-circle measurements of testure on a conventional diffractometer of 

only marginal value. In this investigation the preferred orientation of poled and 

thermally-depoled Navy-I1 and Navy-VI PZT focusing on (002)/( 200) peaks was 

measured. The longer s-ray wavelength, highly collimated source and the high 

intensity of synchrotron light enabled reliable measurements of domain orientation.

Structural Evolution of Li,R/Inz04 in Lithium ion Battery Cells Measured In situ Using Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Techniques* 

X. Q. Yang, S. Mukerjee, X. Sun and J. McBreen (BNL) 

With the increased demand for portable devices the commercial and strategic 

requirements for higher energy efficient batteries are paramount. Among such 

promising technologies are the lithium ion rocking chair type rechargeable cells. 

However, cost, cycle life and safety considerations remain a matter of technical con- cern and need to be addressed based on specific components used. Our interest in 

the Li,iUn2Oq cathode material stems from the promise of lower cost (replacement 

of the currently used LiCoO2) material, however the cycle life characteristics remain 

irreprotlucible, showing great sensitivity to preparation conditions. Our studies on 

the structural and electronic (analogous XAS studies) evolution in these material 

during intercalation of lithium are aimed at providing answers to these important 

structure property relationships. 

Recent studies on Li,AIn204 prepared at different temperature and annealing 

conditions have revealed differences in their performance. nevertheless, the conven- tional s-ray diffraction could not clistingiush any differences in the initial structural 

characteristics. The Li solid state N.;\l.R studies however revealed differences in 

lithium site occupancies in samples prepared at different temperatures. The it/ in 

situ studies on the structural evolution in these material were carried out in the 

transmission inode at X18A. The preliminary results indicate that both the high 

(850°C) and low temperature (65O'C) show coexistence of two cubic phases when 

s=O.5 in Li,hInaO.t. These phases however coalesce into a single cubic phase at 

the end of charge and discharge. As evident from figure 1. which describes the 

structiiral evolution in a sample prepared at 650°C arid annealed for 48 hours, the 

transition from one phase to the other is not smooth arid their is evidence of resitliial lithium remaining after the transition. Esample of this behavior is shown in 

figure 1. Further studies are planned to correlate the effects of other preparation 

conditions in the striitural evolution of thpse spinel matprial. * [\Vork supported by

I Anomalous Transmission of X-Rays in a Quasicrystal * I X18A I ~~ 

Y. Zhang, S. N. Ehrlich and R. Colella (Purdue U.) 

Anomalous Transmission (AT) of x-rays in a quasicrystal was observed for the 

first time by S.W. Kycia et al. [l]. It is a surprising result, because the absence 

of periodicity would seem to prevent the conditions needed for the onset of AT. 

In this work we have determined the absolute value of the AT iffracted beam in a 

perfect A171.0Pd20.5Mn8.5 quasicrystal, and compared with the theory. The crystal was 0.385 mm thick and the x-ray energy was 9.0 KeV The normal attenuation 

factor for a beam incident perpendicularly to the surface is about 1.7 x lop9. The 

incident beam intensity, at beamline X18A, was evaluated by measuring the (222) 

reflection with a perfect germanium crystal. The (222) reflection is very weak - 

it is a forbidden reflection - and its structure factor is well known because it has 

been measured by several people. The absolute value of the integrated intensity for 

the (6 4 0 0 4 6) reflection was compared with the value calculated from dynamical 

theory and found at least one order of magnitude below the theoretical value. Work 

is in progress to explain the possible reasons for such a discrepancy.

I Debve-Waller Factors in a Quasicrystal * I X18A I 

Y. Zhang, J. Sutter, S. N. Ehrlich and R. Colella (Purdue U.) 

The mean square vibrational amplitude < U2> for two reflections located on a 

twofold axis of an icosahedral quasicrystal A171.oPdzo.s Mns.5 have been determined 

between room temperature (RT) and 20 K. The Q values for the two reflections 

(= 2 sinB/X) are: &1=1.278 k1 and Q2=2.068 ifp1. The integrated intensities 

of the two reflections were measured as a function of temperature, using the Bragg case of diffraction, on a large polished quasicrystalline slab. The logarithm of the 

integrated intensity is linear, proportional to temperature, near and below RT, and 

tends to saturate to a constant value at low temperatures, an effect of the zero 

point energy. It is assumed that < U2> is contributed mostly by low frequency 

acoustic modes, for which the atoms of Al, Pd and Mn vibrate together. Figures 

1 and 2 show that, indeed, < U2> is linear with temperature for both reflections 

above 100 K, but at low temperatures both plots depart significantly from Debye 

theory. In one case < U2> is greater than the theoretical value, in the other case it is smaller. This behavior is reminiscent of that of layered crystals (1) such as 

graphite or TaS2, in which the experimental values of < p> are always smaller than 

those predicted by Debye theory. In the case of layered crystals the anomaly was explained by considering the effect of reduced dimensionality and anisotropy. The 

same arguments cannot be applied to an icosahedral quasicrystal such as Al-Pd-Mn, 

supposed to be perfectly isotropic. Work is in progress to measure other reflections, 

and to understand the physical origin of non-Debye behavior in a quasicrystal.

I X-ray Absorption Study of Nickel in FCC Catalysts I X18B I I Characterization of a Si(Li) Detector for the SIXA Array I X18B I 

S. R. Bare, A. Z. Ringwelski, F. S. Modica (UOP LLC) 

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a process for the conversion of higher molecular 

weight hydrocarbons into lighter, more-valuable products through contact with a powdered catalyst at the appropriate process conditions. The reactions are rapid: 

only a few seconds of contact time is necessary. Simultaneously with the desired 

reactions, coke is accumulated on the catalyst surface. This coke is combusted 

to rejuvenate the catalyst. However, cracking of heavy hydrocarbons leads to a 

problem: the high metal content, mainly nickel and vanadium, of these fractions 

accumulate on the catalyst with time. Nickel is a catalyst for dehydrogenation 

reactions, which lead to an increase in coke and hydrogen yields. UOP has used in 

situ XANES at the Ni K-edge to study the reducibility of Ni in a series of commercial 

equilibrium FCC catalysts that are heavily contaminated with Xi. Figure 1 shows 

the Ni K-edge XANES of a commercial REY equilibrium catalysts following in situ 

reduction in hydrogen at 700°C for 0 min. (as received), 3 min., 15 min., and 

45 min. The results indicate that Ni is reducible under these conditions. The Ni 

K-edge XANES spectrum of the as-received material is similar to that of a nickel 

aluminate, whereas there are dramatic changes in the in situ reduced spectra which 

are a cornbination of Ni metal and Ni aliuninate. The authors have stiidietl REY 

equilibrium catalysts with varying Ni loatling arid different reduction temperatures 

in addition to reduction times. These stiidies illustrate that XANES is a powerful 

tool for following the in situ oxidation states of Ni in FCC catalysts. 

T. Tikkanen, K. Hamalainen, and S. Huotari (U. of Helsinki. Finland) 

We have studied the X-ray response of a Si(Li) detector element for the SIXA 

spectrometer array which is a focal plane detector for the SODART X-ray telescope 

onboard the Spectrum-X-Gamma satellite. Energy spectra were recorded using 

monochromatized synchrotron radiation ranging from 7 to 21 keV, yielding the 

detector lineshapes for the upper part of the detector's energy range (0.5-20 keV). 

Special attention was paid to the photon energy region above the L3 absorption 

edge of gold, because the cathode electrodes of the Si(Li) elements are formed 

by gold-palladium alloy contact layers and the equivalent thickness of gold can 

be measured by observing the characteristic L-shell X-rays of gold excited by the 

primary radiation. The results obtained at 4 different photon energies below the 

La edge yield an average value of 22.4 f 3.5 nni which is consistent with the earlier 

result extracted from detection efficiency measurements.

Extended x-ray absorption fine structure performed at the In-K edge has resolved 

the outstanding issue of bond-length strain in semi- conductor-alloy heterostructures. We determine the In-As bond length in a buried 213 A Gao.wIn0.22As layer 

grown coherently on GaAs(001) to be 2.581 +/- 0.004 A. This bond length corre- sponds to a strain- induced contraction of 0.015 +/- 0.004 A relative to the In-As 

bond length in bulk Gal-xInxAs of the same composition; it is consistent with a 

simple model which assumes a uniform bond-length distortion in the epilayer despite 

the different In-As and Ga-As bond lengths. 

XANES Analysis of Ti-V-Silicalites

I X19A I 

The partial oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide is an important industrial process. Currently, no direct synthesis route to propylene oxide is practiced 

commercially. The isomorphous framework titanium-substituted silicalite (MFI) 

has been shown to be selective for the epoxidation reaction which uses hydrogen 

peroxide as an environmentally clean oxidant. Research at UOP has focused on synthesizing a more-active epoxidation catalyst with the MFI structure, which contains both Ti and V. These catalysts exhibit an excellent yield of propylene oxide 

using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. UOP has used XANES at the Ti and V 

K-edges to characterize these materials. Figure 1 shows the Ti K-edge XANES 

of several reference materials and two Ti-V-silicalite catalysts. The spectra of the 

catalysts are consistent with all of the Ti being in the MFI framework. Figure 2 

shows the V K-edge XANES of two V-silicalite catalysts and several V-containing 

reference materials with different V oxidation state and symmetry. These data, 

which are being used to guide the synthesis program, indicate that the V is present 

in oxidation state +5 and is four fold coordinated.

I X-rav Absorption Spectroscopy of Cesium Rlodified Catalysts I X19A I 

E.J. Doskocil and R.J. Davis (U. of Virginia) 

Alkali modified zeolites are materials useful in heterogeneous catalysis in which 

base strength increases with increasing electropositivity of the alkali cation. Addition of occluded alkali has been found to further increase the surface basicity. Being 

able to understand how Cs, the most electropositive alkali, interacts with the zeolite 

framework on a molecular level would aid in understanding how cesium influences 

the basic character of the zeolite. IVe have therefore used XXS at the cesium L edges 

to probe the local environment of cesium for a variety of Cs modified catalysts. 

The Cs LIII edge occurred within f0.5 eV for each compound and catalyst studied, indicating an electronic state of Cs" for these materials. As seen in Figure 1, 

the white line intensity for the cesium form of zeolite X exhibits a higher white line 

intensity than each of the Cs compounds studied. This indicates a larger density 

of unoccupied 5d states for cesium present in supported samples than in bulk corn- pounds. showing that cesium behaves more like a free-ion in the cesium modified 

cat a1 yst s. 

Figure 2 shows the EXAFS spectra for a few of the cesium compounds and catalysts, which is complicated by the presence of a double excitation peak about 100 

eV above the edge. The zeolitic 

materials contain an atltlition;d oscillation in their spectra before the rloiihle excitation which is not observed for the cornpounds stiitlietl. The cesium modified 

carbon catalyst shows an EXAFS spectrum in which the frequency is less than that 

observed for the zeolite cases, indicating a srnallrr interatomic distance for cesium 

in thc micropores of carbon than for cesiiiin in the zeolite cages. 

The conipouritls have similar EXAFS spectra.

XANES Characterization of Soil Phosphorus 

D. Hesterberg, W. Zhou: S. Beamhemin*, and D. E. Sayers (NC State and *AgCanada) 

Excessive levels of soil phosphorus derived from animal waste applications to agricultural soils are of concern because P discharged from these soils may deteriorate 

surface water quality. Soils typically have a limited capacity to bind phosphate by 

surface adsorption. However, thermodynamics predicts that the solubility of solidphase precipitates is independent of the amount of the precipitate present. Thus, 

the formation of precipitates such as Ca-, AI-, or Fe-phosphates in soils may serve as a sink for high levels of added P. The objective of this study is to determine 

whether precipitates of Ca-phosphate (at pH i7) or Fe- or AI-phosphates (at pH i7) 

occur in soils containing high levels of phosphorus. Pairs of soil samples collected 

from different regions of Quebec arid having similar total P concentrations (29 to 

72 inmol P/kg) hiit different pH levels were analyzed at the P K-edge at Beamline 

XlSA, along with synthetic Ca-, Fe-, and AI-phosphates anti other standards. Phosphorus K-XANES spectra in Fig. 1 show that each of the three mineral stantlards 

have distinguishing spectral features. such as a pre-edge feature on the strerigite 

(FeP042H20) spectrum arid a shoiiltler on the high-energy side of the white-line 

peak in the amorphous Ca-phosphate spectrum. Soil spectra indicated differences 

in the average local molcciilar bonding of phosphorus (Fig. I). For example, the 

soil having pH 7.6 (43 mrriol P/kg) has a broad shoiiltlcr on the white-line peak 

that rnay be indicative of Ca-phosphate. This feature is not evident in the spectrurn from the soil of pH 6.3 (42 mInol/kg). The soil spectra probably resiilt from 

multiple P phases that might be resolved by additional XANES analyses coupled 

with soil fractionation procedures designed to concentmtc different phasrs.

In Situ Characterization of the Reduction of Rh / CexZrl-xO2 * I X19A I

In automotive catalysts, ceria is used as an oxygen storage/release media to aid 

in maintaining high conversions during oscillations in air/fuel ratio. Recently, it has 

been reported that doping Zr into the ceria enhances the oxygen storage capacity 

of the oxide [1]. We have measured this enhancement by in situ XANES and find 

that the presence of Rh further enhances reducibility. 

High surface area (Cel-,Zr,)Oz where x=O.O-0.5 were prepared by sol-gel techniques and hypercritical drying. Portions of the samples were impregnated with 

Rh(N03)3. After calcining in air at 800 K, the catalysts had surface areas in excess 

of 100m2/g. Samples were suspended in an alcoholic solution and dispersed on the 

surface of BN pellets. The pellets were placed in a quartz tube reactor under flowing 

He, hydrogen or air. X-ray absorption at the Ce Lrrr edge was used in transmission 

mode to distinguish the presence of Ce+3 and Cef4. 

Figure la shows typical Ce Lrrr edge x-ray absorption spectra of one of the 

samples as its temperature is increased in Hz/He. Various changes indicative of 

reduction from Cef4. to Ce+3 are observed including a decrease in the intensity 

of the peak labeled C. The intensity of this peak above background is indicative 

of the extent of reduction of the samples. Results are shown in Figure 1b for 

three different catalysts vs reduction temperature. It is seen that adding Zr to the 

CeO2 decreases the temperature required for reduction and increases the extent of 

achievable reduction. Addition of Rh further catalyzes the reduction process.

Observation of a Novel 4-Layer Superlattice in a Smectic Liquid 

Crystal Using Anomalous Diffraction 

R. Pindak (Bell Labs), A.M. Levelut (Orsay), P. Barois (CRPP), P. Mach (Univ. 

of Minnesota), and L. Furenlid (NSLS) 

Classical x-ray diffraction experiments cannot distinguish between variants of 

the chiral Smectic-C (SmC*) liquid crystal phases since the tilted molecules in the 

fluid layers of these variants have identical projected electron density profiles with 

only the tilt direction changing between layers. Nonetheless, by working close to 

an absorption edge, classical extinction rules no longer hold and it is possible to 

distinguish between the variants. 

To test this hypothesis, we studied the n=ll (C11) member of a sulfur containing 

thiobenzoate liquid crystal. In bulk samples, C11 exhibits the whole sequence of 

SmC* variants. A 200 layer freely suspended film of CII was prepared in situ in an 

oven mounted on a two circle diffractometer. Measurements were performed at the 

maximum of the sulfur absorption peak (Eo). Above 103 degC, in a qz-scan where z is normal to the layers, two diffraction peaks were observed corresponding to the 

first and second order reflection from the layer planes (qz = qo and 2 qo). At lower 

temperatures down to crystallization at 90 degC, additional sharp and resolution 

limited peaks were seen at qz = 0.5 , 0.75 , 1.25 , 1.5 , 1.75 , and 2.25 go. Fig.2 

shows, for the 1.75 qo peak, that the intensity of the satellite peaks decreased as the energy was moved more than 7eV from Eo. The diffraction spectrum observed 

between 90 and 103 degC is characteristic of a four layer superlattice with a 41 or 

43 symmetry. We propose that this novel superlattice has the following structure 

shown in Fig.1: in each layer, the molecules are tilted at the same angle with 

respect to the layer normal but the projection of the molecules forms a helical array 

of four layers pitch. In conclusion, we unambiguously demonstrated that anomalous 

scattering can distinguish the SmC* variants as well as observed the occurrence of 

a novel fourfold helical symmetry.

Past research indicates that sequestering of heavy metal contaminants by reduced 

forms of sulfur, especially inorganic sulfides, reduces the toxicity of metals in aquatic 

sediments. The role of metal sulfur bonding to both inorganic and organic sulfur 

forms in soils is not well understood, but could impact the chemistry of heavy 

metals in contaminated soils. The objective of this study was to determine whether 

chalcophilic metals preferentially bind to organic sulfur functional groups in soil 

organic matter. Sulfur-rich humic acid (HA) was extracted from soil from a coastal 

marine wetland antl reacted in aqueous solution with Cu(I1) or Hg(1I) at pH 5.6. 

The molar ratio of organic S to metal was 4.25, and the total sulfur concentration 

in the suspensions was 8.5 nimol/kg. Sulfur K-XANES analyses clone at Beamline 

X-19A was used to determine sulfur oxidation states. Initial data showed that 

organic sulfnr in the original. freeze-rlriecl HA sample and in the aqiieons metal-HA 

suspensions was in a highly oxidized form (Fig. 1 - HA Batch 1). Because metalsulfur binding shoiild occur at reduced sulfur groups, such bonding is iinlikely in 

this system. Sulfur oxidation mas considered to be an artifact of highly alkaline or acidic conditions occurring during certairi steps of the HA extraction procediire. 

Therefore, a second batch of HA was extracted using a more restricted pH range. 

Sulfur K-XANES resiilts from this batch indicated that about half of the orgariic 

sulfur in the original HA and thc aqueous suspensions was in a reduced oxidation 

state (Fig. The S K-XANES results will coniplenient EXAFS analyses at

At the time these experiments were undertaken our research group was in the 

process of commissioning a new x-ray reflectometer at the Research School of Chemistry, and were taking the first reliable data using the instrument. Software had 

been developed in-house for the simultaneous refinement of models against both 

x-ray and neutron data, from both energy- and angle-dispersive instruments, with 

or without constraints, but had not yet been proven for use with x-ray data. For 

this reason we measured x-ray reflectivity data for two simple air-liquid interfaces 

at beaniline X19C using the liquid surface spectrometer, for benchmarking our own 

reflectometer and for testing the software. The data we collected for air-water and 

air-hexatlecane interfaces yielded interface roughnesses which agreed well with literature values (2.7 * 0.1 i\ for air-water antl 3.9 zt 0.3 for air-hexadecane). Data 

subsequently acquired with our in-house reflectometer for these two 

agreed well with the literature, antl confirmed for us that both our reflectometer 

arid software were performing correctly. 

Data were also collected for monolayer films of an end-fiinctionalised polystyrene 

surfactant spread at the air-water interface, compressed to surface pressures of 0.5, 

2.0 and 6.0 mNm-l. These data were collected to provide an atltlitional coritrast 

to complement several neiitron data sets we liave for this material. Ttic neutron 

data alone are not sufficient to resolve the film strnctiirc unambiguously. The x-ray

Wafers sliced from the microgravity-grown CdZnTe boules (GCRC-1 & GCRC2) were imaged by SWBXT. Figure l(a) shows a transmission topograph recorded 

from a wafer cut from the region of boule GCRC-2 with the best quality. Individual 

dislocations (D) are clearly resolved. A dislocation density of the order of 5 X 10' to 

1.2 X lo3 om-' is estimated. Note that the dislocations are distributed uniformly 

and no subgrain structure is observed. Other defects characterized are a few Te 

precipitates (P). Formation of these precipitates can be attributed to the retrograde 

solubililty of Te in CdZnTe. Figure l(b) illustrates the diffracted intensity about the 

333 reciprocal lattice point from a similar CdZnTe wafer to the one shown in Figure 

l(a). The figure represents a "map" of the distribution of the diffracted intensity 

in reciprocal space. The presence of a well-defined surface streak is indicative of 

two qualities of the diffracting crystal: (1) the bulk crystal has sufficient structural 

perfection in order to diffract dynamically, and (2) the crystal surface is of high 

enough quality to produce the surface streak. SWBXT and HRTXD results match 

very well.

In ZnSe, an even distribution of dislocations was revealed by SWBXT, with no 

cellular structure being discernible. An example of a topograph recorded from this 

polished sample, revealing this microstructure is shown in Figure l(a). Additionally, a few slip bands (S) are also observed. Figure l(b) is a 220 reciprocal space map from 

a similar ZnSe sample. The absence of any surface streak and both the intensity 

and the angular extent of the diffuse intensity is indicative of a highly defective 

surface region in this sample. This interpretation agrees with SWBXT. 

Figure 2(a) shows a reflection topograph recorded from a ZnSe sample with a cleaved (rather than a polished) (110) surface shows a high density of uniformly 

distributed dislocations and twins. Likewise, HRTXD showed a well-defined surface streak and a large amount of diffuse scatter that was distributed perpendicular 

to the [110] surface normal direction indicative of a high dislocation density. The 

uniformity of the diffuse intensity suggested that the dislocations are randomly 

distributed throughout the crystal and not concentrated in the form of subgrain 

boundaries. Comparison between the polished and cleaved samples seems to indicate that polishing damage can obscure the true as-grown microstructure in ZnSe.

As a powerful and efficient diffraction imaging technique for studying crystal 

defects. synchrotron white-beam x-ray topography (S\\-BXT) has been investigated 

extensively in the transmission geometry, but the back-reflection case was seldom 

used and the corresponding principles and mechanisms of contrast formation are 

not fully understood. In our systematic experiments, however, it was found that 

the back-reflection SWBXT (with Bragg angle around 80") is a particularly usefnl 

tool for observation of super screw dislocations (SSDs) in Sic, a wide-handgap. 

high-temperature semicontlnctor material. Thc typical topographic contrast of an individual SSD perpendicular to a (0001) GH-SIC wafer surface is shown in Fig. l(a), 

where the dislocation image is a black ring encircling a white center. Besides the

Determination of Super Screw Dislocation Sense with Synchrotron 

Back-reflection Section Topography *

Tsvetkov, and C. Carter, Jr. (Cree Research, Inc.) 

Synchrotron radiation topography has been widely applied to observe dislocations 

in single crystals and epitaxial heterostructures. Although the criterion g.b = 0 can 

be used to analyze dislocation Burgers vectors, it is still hard to distinguish two dislocations with antiparallel Burgers vectors (opposite senses) from their topographic 

contrast. In the investigations of super screw dislocations (SSDs) in Sic, we designed a novel technique, namely white-beam back-reflection section topography 

(WBBRST) which can show clearly the sense of an individual SSD. 

In our experiments, the incident synchrotron beam was limited to be 15 pm in 

width by a slit and was carefully adjusted to cover the core region of a specific 

SSD for the 00024 back reflection. The topographic contrast of a SSD in a (0001) 

6H-Sic wafer is shown in Fig.l(a), in which the dislocation image splits into two 

disconnected “tails” near the image center. Figure l(b) represents the simulated 

image which was calculated on the basis of the strain field of a right-handed SSD. 

These two patterns indicate that, in addition to the radial shift, the diffracted x rays are twisted around the principle diffraction direction with left-handed screw 

direction. For a left-handed SSD as shown in Fig. l(c), the twist of the x rays is 

naturally right-handed. 

Besides the application of dislocation-sense determination, WBBRST can also be 

used to analyze the local strain field of other crystal defects and is of great help for 

understanding the contrast mechanisms of back-reflection topography.

I The Liquid-vapor Interface Structure of Tin:Gallium I x19c 1 

Ning Lei and Stuart A. Rice (U. of Chicago) 

The liquid-vapor interface structure of a tin:gallium alloy has been studied by 

x-ray specular reflectivity and grazing incidence in-plane x-ray diffraction. The 

reflectivity data are consistent with a model of stratified layers of atoms at the 

interface, with 100% tin coverage for the outermost layer and -22% tin in the second 

outermost layer. In- plane diffraction data reveal that the tin atoms in the interface 

are in liquid state. Reflectivity and in-plane data show independently that the 

diameter of the tin atoms in the interface is about 5% smaller than that in its pure 

3-d liquid state at the temperature around 40’Celsius. The alloy surface tensions 

at four different temperatures are deduced from the sample shape measured by x- ray reflection of the sample. The surface tensions measured show clearly that with 

increasing sample temperature, the surface tension increases. We explain this to be 

due to the increased solubility of tin in the bulk at a higher temperature and less tin 

at the interface as shown by the reflectivity data. The tin atom enthaphy difference 

between that at the interface and that in the bulk is shown to be proportional to 

the temperature derivative of the surface tension; and thus the enthaphy at the 

interface is of a smaller value.

Materials structured on the nanometer length scale promise to be the next generation of materials for electronics. It may be possible to use the nanometer length 

scale structures that spontaneously self-assemble in complex fluids as templates 

to form these nanestructured electronics materials. This methodology has been 

pursued by Terry hlorkved, a graduate student in Heinrich Jaeger's group at the 

University of Chicago. in preparing a nano-structured system in which gold metal is 

deposited on and then annealed into a polymer thin film (-50nm thick). Transmission electron microscopy by hIorkved revealed that the gold metal is self- assembled 

and ordered in-plane into spheres or rods of nanometer dimensions inside the polymer films. However. electron microscopy was unable to address the important issne 

of the distribution of the gold spheres along the normal of the polymer films. 

By using x-ray specular reflectivity (not shown) accompanied by x-ray reflection 

standing wave fluorescence spectroscopy. we measured the electron density antl Au 

atomic density profiles along the surface normal of a goltl-sphere-impregnate[l thin 

polymer film. This PS-bP\'P cliblock copolymer film consists of poly vinyl pyridine 

(PVP) spheres (- 20 nm tliarneter) embedtletl in a polystyrene (PS) mat,rix (- 

50nm thick). Figure 1 shows x-ray reflection standing wave fliiorescence spectrum. 

For comparison. we also performed t,hc same rneasiirements (shown in Fig.2) on a 

polymer film of PS honiopo1,vnier (w 50 nm thick); gold atoms, amount to a laver 

of - O.T,rim, were coated oil top of the polymer film antl were not annealed. These 

gold atoms were not spread on top of the polymer film uniformly; instead, they 

balled up into 8 nm spheres. The solid line in Fig.2 is t,tieoreticnl calculation for 

the spectrum using Parratt's formulatiori. 

IThile a quantitative analysis for the distribution of the gold spheres imbedded 

in the PS-b-PVP film has yet to be made, the unarnbignoiis qualitative results from 

both techniques indicate that the gold spheres are smeared along the normal of 

the film instead of being arranged within a narrow plane in the middle of the film. 

Although the gold sphrres are somewhat orclerecl into a lattice within the plane of 

the film, they are riot ordered normal to the plane.

x19c Effect of Constrained Growth on Defect Structures in MicrogravityGrown CdZnTe Boules I. Nucleation of Grains * 

B. Raghothamachar, H. Chung, &I. Dudley, D.J. Larson Jr. (SUNY at Stony 

Brook) 

In order to study the effect of constrained growth on the defect structures in 

microgravity grown samples, a CdZnTe boule (GCRC-1) was grown in a carboncoated quartz ampoule by the seeded Bridgman-Stockbarger growth method under 

constrained conditions aboard NASA space shuttle flight UShIL-2. Forced wall 

contact conditions were created by utilizing PBN springs pressed against the molten 

CdZnTe at the tail end. Synchrotron white beam x-ray topography (SWBXT) was then used to characterize defect striictures in the boule by imaging the wafers sliced 

from it^. 

Figure 1 shows a diffraction pattern recorded from wafer # OW2 which was 

sliced from the steady state growth region. Clearly, this is a superposition of several difFraction patterns from regions of different orientations present in the wafer. 

Detailed studies revealed no definite orientation relationships between the different 

grains. Nucleation of several grains can be explained in the following way. During 

growth under constrained conditions, it is observed that generally, rriaximiini stress 

concentration occurs at the ampoule wall just below the solid-liquid interface where 

heat extraction occurs. Adhesion reduces the interfacial energy between the solid 

nucleus antl ampoule surface thus favoring the nucleation of new grains at snialler 

untlercooling.

B. Raghothamachar, H. Chung, M. Dudley, and D.J. Larson Jr. (SUNY, Stony 

Brook) 

Inhomogeneous strains were observed in several regions of the boule grown under 

constrained conditions on USML-2. A reflection topograph (Fig. 1) (g = 551) taken 

from the seed transition region shows a highly distorted image indicating presence 

of heavy inhomogeneous strains. The grain grown from the seed is subjected to 

high stresses due to forced wall contact especially in the shoulder regions and this 

must have resulted in high strains. Stress models clearly show that the shouldering 

operation generated very high stresses and static friction in this region could significantly increase the local stresses. In the steady state growth region, a reflection 

topograph (g = 422) taken from a grain present in wafer #OW7 is shown in Fig. 

2. This topograph shows a distorted image in most regions due to the presence of 

large inhomogeneous strains. Here, the level of thermal gradient stresses generated 

by rapid cooling are expected to be much greater than the critical resolved shear 

stress of CdZnTe. However, because of the constrained conditions forced by the 

restraining springs, a hydrostatic stress state is created which prevents deformation 

by shear. Instead the stresses cause large amount of strains.

B. Raghothamachar, H. Chung, M. Dudley, and D.J. Larson Jr. (SUNY, Stony 

Brook) 

The high ionicity of CdZnTe makes it extremely prone to twinning. Nucleation 

of twins is generally observed to occur at regions of disturbances at the growth 

interface. Fig. 1 shows a white beam topograph (g = 004) taken in the reflection 

geometry from a grain showing a relatively good crystalline quality present in wafer 

#OW7. However, the peripheral regions are still highly strained due to effects 

related to wall contact. Additionally, this grain also shows the presence of lamellar 

twins (T) which are revealed by orientation contrast. Detailed analysis of back 

reflection Laue diffraction patterns recorded from these twinned regions reveal that 

the twins are of the 180' rotation type about the (111) plane normal. Nucleation of 

these twins appears to have occurred because of effects related to wall contact. Small 

angle grain boundaries (SB) revealed by orientation contrast are also observed in 

some regions. Their formation can be attributed to the process of polygonization 

i.e. stress-induced glide and climb of dislocations introduced in the crystal during 

solidification. This process occurs during post-solidification cooling.

A CdZnTe boule grown by the seeded vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method of 

crystal growth was subjected to frequent stop and start operations during the course of its growth in order to demarcate the growth interface. Demarcation was expected 

to be caused by changes in zinc concentration at the solid-liquid interface induced by 

the applied disturbance. Wafers sliced from this boule mere subsequently examined 

by SIVBXT. The wide spectral range of SIVBXT allows imaging of crvstals with 

rcgions of different lattice parameter (protluced by segregation or localized strains) 

that are likely to be introduced during such stop and start operations. Studies of 

the topographs taken from the wafers revealed no contrast variations due to cliangc 

in composition. Rather it was observcd that twins were nucleated at the stop and 

start locations. Fig. 1 shows a reflection topograph (g = 133) recorded from a wafer 

cut from this boiile. In this wafer the distorted region A revealed by orientation 

contrast coiiltl possibly haw been created by a stop and start operation. It is also 

observed that as soon as growth was rccommencctl. a twin T1 (180" rotation typc

Flat leaves of p-quaterphenyl with their (001) faces dominant are also common. 

Most of these are twinned. The twins occur as narrow lamellae, visible by optical 

microscopy as pairs of parallel lines about 12pm wide, running along [OlO]. Two of 

these lamellae are marked T in the x-ray topograph shown in figure 1. Topographic 

images of the lamellae may be observed as narrow lines displaced from the images 

of their matrix, or in some reflections, coincident. For one of the lamellae, Tz, all 

contrast vanishes when g = (201). The absence of lattice strain associated with 

this lamella implies that its twin plane is (201). The other lamella, TI, has another, 

unidentified twin plane. 

The lamellae do not extend continuously along the [OlO] direction throughout the 

crystal. Where they terminate, dislocations extend into the matrix. Dislocations 

also originate at the twinning plane, and either curve back to terminate there, or extend to $he crystal's surface. Some of them, D1, are in maximum contrast in 

the g = (110) reflection shown in figure 1, and extinguish when g = (110). Those 

labeled Dz, behave oppositely, extinguishing when g = (110). Both D1 and Dz have 

minimal contrast when g = (OOl), a reflection almost orthogonal to (110) and (1IO). 

It may beconcluded by the g 0 b = 0 criterion the Burgers vectors of DI and Dz are b = [110] and b = [110]. As their lines roughly follow the same directions, they 

are mainly screw in character.

p-Quaterphenyl crystals form thin, colorless leaves when grown from toluene 

solution by the temperature gradient method. Macroscopically twinned bicrystalline 

leaves whose (001) primary faces are inclined to one another by 36.4" (which may 

be measured by optical goniometry) occur frequently. However, topographs of few 

such crystals don't show extensive asterism in the region of its twinning plane. 

Figure 1 shows a white beam synchrotron Laue pattern of such a specimen. This 

crystal has one small corner macroscopically twinned in this way, which is free 

of gross distortion. The (001) face of the larger parent matrix grain is oriented 

perpendicular to the incident beam. In figure 1, no misorientation between the 

diffraction spots arisiqg from the matrix and twin occurs for spots of the zone <102> (i.e., {412}, {211}, {22l}, etc.), the direction of shear between the twin and 

matrix lattices. Additionally, the angle between [OOl] and [IO21 is 18.2", half the 

observed twinning angle in the crystal. Therefore, the twin plane may be assigned 

as (201).

We have made x-ray scattering measurements from the oil-microemulsion interface of a (butoxyethano1)-water-decane mixture at 35" C. The ultra low surface 

tension of this interface gives rise to strong thermal fluctuations. 

No bicontinuous structure has been observed in bulk C4E1 microemulsions, en- abling us to analyze the effects of these large interfacial fluctuations without the 

added complexity of layering at the interface. Specular reflectivity data was measured to determine the electron density profile normal to the interface. IVe also 

made surface diffuse scattering measurements near the specular condition. This 

probes the interfacial thermal fluctuations in the plane, which we characterize by 

capillary waves. Both types of data mere analyzed using the distorted wave Born 

approximation. 

Initial analysis of the reflectivity data from the oil/microemulsion interface indicated a roughness of about 54 11. However, when this value was used in the analysis 

of the diffuse data, we could not obtain a satisfactory fit. Upon increasing the 

roughness parameter to 61 Awe obtained an excellent fit to the diffuse data with a 

surface tension of about 0.17 tlynes/cm. 

This discrepancy is a consequence of the low surface tension of the interface. 

There is both a diffuse antl reflected signal at the specular position, but in high 

surface tension samples, the diffuse signal is much smaller. When the surface tension 

is low enough, the tliffiise signal is of the same order as the reflection, making it 

necessary to separate the two signals in the analysis of the data. Figure 1 shows 

the raw reflectivity data (54 A) antl the data after the diffuse signal has been 

sitbtracted (60.8 ii). Using the interfacial roughness vahie obtained from the pure 

reflected signal, we were able to obtain an excellent fit of the diffuse data with a 

siirface tension of ~0.22 tlynes/cm (figure 2). 

This sample demonstrated that the interfacial fluctuations in these ultra low surface tension systems are the result of capillary waves. The interplay that we found 

between the specular antl diffiise signals can now be applied to systems composed 

of stronger aniphiphiles where layering may be present at the interface.

and Z. Huang (BNL) 

X-ray reflectivity and surface diffuse scattering were measured from the oilmicroemulsion interfaces in the 3-phase region in the ternary mixtures CloE4-waterdecane and CloE4-water-tetradecane. The ultra low surface tension at these interfaces gives rise to strong thermal fluctuations. In addition, the microemulsion 

phase in these mixtures is believed to be bicontiniious. This has been predicted to 

produce interfacial layering at these strongly fluctuating interfaces. The systems 

stiidied have interfacial roughnesses ranging from 150 A to over 200 A. 

Reflectivity and off-specular diffuse scattering data were measured from both 

samples. While the specular peak tracks incident angle, the surface enhancement 

associated with the diffuse scattering remains at the critical angle. In smoother 

samples, for wave vectors at which the magnitude of the specular signal has decayed 

to the order of the diffuse signal, the two peaks are well separated. In these rough 

samples. the specular peak falls off so quickly for wave vectors slightly greater than 

the critical wave vector for total reflection that the specular and diffiise signals 

are of similar strength at the critical angle, making the reflectivity data difficult 

to interpret. Initial analysis of the CloE.1-water-tlecarie sample established a lower 

bound on the roughness of 200 

The specular signal from theC IOEzl-water-tetratlecane interface decays less 

rapidly. Figure 2 shows the data in the Qz range from 0.01 to 0.028 k'. Below the critical Qc of 0.01 .+\-', there is only one peak. At Qf = 0.014 A-', the 

two peaks begin to separate, antl at 0.016 k' they are resolved. Preliminary analysis of these data indicates a roughness of about 150 A and a surface tension of 

0.01 mN/m. Further analysis of these data will also be itsefiil in separating the 

diffiise antl speciilar sigrials in the rougher sample.

X-ray Reflectivity From a 1,1,2,2 Tetrahydrohenicosafluorododecanol Monolayer at the Water-Hexane Interface 

rZ. Zhang, S.M. Williams, D.M. MitrinoviC, M.L. Schlossman (U. of Illinois at 

Chicago), and Z. Huang (BNL) 

Addition of the soluble surfactant 1,1,2,2 tetrahydrohenicosafluorododecanol (denoted FC120H) to hexane (2 mmol concentration) results in the formation of a 

monolayer of FC120H at the water-hexane interface. X-ray reflectivity from this 

water-(FClzOH)-hexane interface combined with grazing incidence diffraction from 

an FClzOH monolayer at the water-vapor interface is analyzed to determine that 

the FC120H monolayer at the water-hexane interface is a solid at T=32"C. The 

existence of the solid monolayer at the liquid-liquid interface is due to a delicate 

balance of solvation and Van der Waals energies in this system. At T=48"C most 

of the FClzOH molecules are desorbed from the interface. 

The two reflectivity curves (at T=48"C and T=32"C) from the water-(FClzOH)- 

hexane are shown below. The measurement at T=48"C can be analyzed as a rough 

interface between two bulk phases. A Born approximation analysis of these data 

yields a surface roughness, u=0.38f 0.03 nm. The data measured at T=32"C were fit using the Born approximation and an electron density profile that models the surfactant monolayer as a simple layer with 

equal roughness on both sides that is sandwiched between the two bulk phases. 

The layer thickness determined by the fit to the data is given by L = 1.210f0.085 nm. This thickness is 0.4 nm shorter than the full all-trans length of the surfactant 

molecule, but is essentially the same as the length of the fluorinated part of the 

molecule. This indicates that the reflectivity is sensitive only to the fluorinated 

region of the molecule, most likely because the electron density contrast of the water with the surfactant hydrocarbon headgroup is too small. The electron density 

of the layer (normalized to the density for bulk water) is 1.96f0.09. This density at the liquid-liquid interface is consistent with the normalized density (2.01) 

of 2-dimensional crystallites of FClzOH at the water-vapor interface (at the same temperature) as determined by grazing incidence diffraction. Grazing incidence 

diffraction from the liquid-liquid interface was not possible because the ratio of signal to background was too low. This combined analysis of these two measurements 

indicates that the monolayer at the liquid-liquid interface is in the solid phase.

Chicago), and Z. Huang (BNL) 

X-ray reflectivity was used to study the roughness of the pure hexane-water 

interface. To probe this buried interface the x-rays penetrate the upper phase 

(hexane). X-ray absorption and bulk scattering from the upper interface require 

that the sample cell be reasonably small. However, since the interfacial tension 

of this common liquid-liquid interface is similar to the water-vapor interface, the 

interface will be very curved for a small sample. The cell windows are slanted from 

the vertical as a gross adjustment to flatten the interface. A fine adjustment is still 

needed to reduce the macroscopic curvature of the sample to be much less than the 

angular resolution of the detector (as determined by slits). This is accomplished 

by rotating the sample cell about an axis collinear with the x-ray beam. Due to 

non-equilibrium pinning of the contact angle at the cell window, this rotation twists 

the entire interface and results in a strip of the interface that is very flat. With 

these two adjustments the measured reflectivity below the critical angle for total 

reflection is near 100% and reflection measurements can be collected using standard 

procedures. 

The figure below shows the x-ray specular reflectivity versus the wave vector 

normal to the hexane-water interface at 32.00 f 0.02 "C (n-hexane from Sigma, 

99+%, water produced by a Barnstead Nanopure system). The fit yields an interfacial roughness of 0.33 f 0.03 nm. Comparison with an earlier measurement of 

the pure water-vapor interface (at a similar wave vector resolution) for which y = 

72 mN/m and u=0.27 nm (at T = 20°C) yields yhezane--urater %' 50 f 2 mN/m, in 

good agreement with the literature value of 51.4 mN/m obtained from macroscopic 

interfacial tension measurements.

In many electrochemical systems, one or two monolayers of an adsorbate may 

be deposited at a potential less negative than the Nernst potential. The growth 

mechanisms involved in this secalled underpotential deposition (UPD) have been 

the subject of intense controversy for over a decade. Static x-ray measurements 

(Tidswell, et a2.) on the UPD of copper on Pt(ll1) in the presence of chloride in an HCI0.t solution have noted the existence of a strncture ascribed to an adsorbed 

incommensurate CuCl bilayer. 

lye have performed a series of voltage-step experiments on this system, simultaneously recording the resiiltant current transient arid time-resolved surface x-ray 

scattering. The x-ray profiles are fit to a simple trapezoidal form, and the characteristic time scales are shown in Figure 1 (blue). These indicate the ordering of 

the twedimensional incommensurate CnC1 overlayer in real time. The time for the 

current transient to fa11 to 5% of its initial value is also shown in Figure 1 (red). 

Note that in all cases. the ciirrent transient occiirs on a shorter time-scale than the 

emergence of the scattering peak from the two-dimensional overlaver. 

The exponential scaling of the time constant for ordering vs. l/d' demonstrates 

that this behavior can be explained as a nucleation process. Fiirthermore. this 

micleation consists of clusters which are two-dirnensional and compact (rion-fractal). 

For a particular voltage transition, we have perforrnetl an entire time-tlependent 

q-scan. By monitoring the time-tlependciit widths of the x-ray peak, we see a 

narrowing corresponding to the increasc in the mean cluster size. lye can fit the 

entire q-tscan, as shown in Figure 2, with x' = 1.04. Froni this analysis, we can extract, the rate of cliister nucleation antl the growt,h rate for an individual dnstcr.

The Dynamic Evolution of Charge-Density Waves 

K.L. Ringland, A.C. Finnefrock, Y.P. Li, S.G. Lemay, R.E. Thorne, J.D. Brock 

(Cornell University) 

The presence of a charge-density wave (CDW) in a crystal creates x-ray scattering 

peaks that flank the crystal's Bragg peaks. These CDSY peaks exhibit a lineshape 

that is dependent on the degree of order in the CD\\- and are significantly different 

when the CDIV slides and when it is stationary. Investigating the evolution of 

the CDSV as it relaxes from the sliding state to the stationary state allows us to 

better understand the interaction of the deformable CDW with the randomly placed 

impurities in the crystal. 

\Ye applied a continuous square-wave current to a NbSes crystal for several temperatures between 80K and 1lOK. The x-ray scattering in the c* (transverse) direction was measured by stroboscopic averaging over many periods of the square-wave 

at each q point. (Fig. 1) 

If we nse a model for CD\V evolution which treats the CDM' as an elastic object 

arid the CD\V-impuritv interaction as a qnenchctl random field, me can derive the 

equation of motion for the scattering intensity.

is necessary. The very large variation in the evoliition tinicscale suggests that the 

energies in the evolution process are quite large and may indicate the presence of 

topological tleffects in the CDiV systrrn.

1 Atomic Structure of the Passive Oxide Film Formed on Iron I X20A I 

M.F. Toney (IBM Almaden Research Center), A.J. Davenport (UMIST/U. Manchester), L.J. Oblonsky and M.P. Ryan (BNL) 

Passivating oxides form on metals and provide corrosion protection. Although the 

oxide structure largely determines the films protective properties, this structure is 

often unknown, even for elemental metals. The structure of the passive film on iron 

has been the subject of particularly intense study [l], but there is still no consensus 

on questions as basic as to whether the film is amorphous or crystalline, much less on the atomic structure. To resolve this question, we have conducted in-situ and exsitu X-ray scattering experiments on the passive film formed at high potentials on 

Fe(ll0) and (001). The Fe crystals were passivated by potentiostatic polarization 

for one hour at +0.4V vs. MSE in borate buffer (pH 8.4). Our methodology is to 

collect a complete data set ex-situ (where the background scattering is small), and 

then to collect selected in-situ data to compare with the ex-situ experiments. In 

such a comparison (see Figure) there is excellent agreement, which demonstrates 

that the passive film formed under these conditions is not altered by emersion. 

50A and 

has a well defined orientation with the substrate. A quantitative crystal refinement 

of the integrated diffraction intensities shows that the film structure is not one 

of the bulk forms of iron oxide (see figure). Rather the film structure (LAMM 

structure) is based on the spinel Feso4, but with considerable cation vacancies on 

the octahedral and tetrahedral sites (80% and 66% occupancies, respectively) and 

with cations occupying octahedral interstitial sites (12% occupancy) [2]. 

These results resolve the controversy surrounding the film structure and provide a 

basis for understanding film properties important for corrosion protection, including 

the behavior of passive films formed on engineering alloys, such as stainless steel.

X20A X-Ray Diffraction Studies of CoPtCr Thin Films for Magnetic 

Recording Media 

M.F. Toney (IBM Almaden Research Center) and M.F. Doerner (IBM Storage 

Systems Division) 

The areal density in magnetic recording in presently increasing at a 60% compound annual growth rate (CGR). To maintain this rate of increase, the hard disk 

drive industry must develop magnetic disk media with magnetic properties (e.g., 

coercivity, signal-to-noise ratio) that are superior to presently used media. One 

approach to this is through the use of alternative underlayers (i.e., the seed layer 

beneath the media). This underlayer has an important influence on the structure 

of the media layer and understanding this relationship (and the consequent effect 

on the magnetic properties) is a key to developing better magnetic media. 

We have used grazing incidence X-ray diffraction to determine the structure of 

CoPtCr media deposited on several different underlayers. These measurements 

were made on actual thin film disk coupons. Representative results are shown in the 

figure for 500A Cr underlayer (a commonly used underlayer) and 200ACrTa/200ACr 

composite underlayer. These data show that the media are both highly (11.0) 

oriented (although to a greater extent for the CrTa/Cr underlayer), small grained 

and highly faulted (broad peaks). While the data show these media are hcp, the 

presence of a weak fcc(200) peak is apparent at Q = 3.45k1, particularly for the 

Cr underlayer. This means that a small fraction of the media forms into the fcc 

structure. A quantitative analysis of the peak widths shows that in both films the 

particle size is about 100 by 150 A, along (100) and (002) directions, respectively. 

However the stacking fault density (sum of growth and deformation faults) is much 

higher for the media on the Cr underlayer (a + /3 = 0.30) than for the CrTa/Cr 

underlayer (a+p = 0.18). Since such faults have localized fcc-like regions in the hcp 

matrix, the media on the Cr underlayer has a higher percentage of fcc-like regions 

(about 18% including the regions in the faults and in the fcc part of the crystal) 

compared with the CrTa/Cr underlayer (about 7%). This structural information 

provides a better understanding of the media coercivity and magnetic viscosity [l].

X-ray Scattering Studies of Thin Ni,Col-,, x M 0.25 Films: Discovery of a Reentrant Phase Transformation 

h1.F. Toney and D. Weller (IBhI Almaden Research Center), and A. Carl (Gerhardhlercator U. Duisburg) 

Carl et al. found that Ni,Col-, films exhibit an z 15% enhanced magnetization 

for x 0.25-0.30 relative to x=0.22 and 0.35 [l]. It was postulated that this is due 

to an hcp/fcc/hcp sequence of phase transitions as a function of x. To confirm this 

unusual (reentrant) sequence of phase transitions, me conducted X-ray scattering 

measurements of these polycrystalline thin films. These measurements are shown 

in Figure 1. The single peak at z 1.55k' shows that for x=31.4 and 24.3% the 

films are hcp, while the presence of additional peaks at = 1.05 and 2.1k' shows 

that for x=26.2% the film is a mixture of fcc and hcp structures. hleasurements on 

other films showed that for 0.25 < 0.29, the films had the mixed fcc/hcp structure, 

while for x outside this range, the films were purely hcp. 

It iq reasonable to postulate that the formation of the fcc phase in driven by 

chemical ordering, since a related effect was observed for Copt? [2]. To test this 

idea, experiments were condnctrd to search for chemical ordering peaks in the mixed 

fcc/hcp films with the X-ray energy tuned just below the Co K rdge (to enhance 

the contrast between Ni and Go). However, we foinitl no indication of short or long 

range chemical order. Thus, the driving force for the formation of the hcp phase is 

still unclear.

Silica aerogel is a highly porous material composed of strands of spheres assem- bled to form a dilute fractal network up to a length scale <, while on length scales 

greater than <, the density is on-the-average uniform. Aerogels have been used 

to study the effects of quenched randomness on the phase diagram of mixtures by 

Chan and coworkers who found that their phase diagram differs dramatically in 

the presence of aerogel from that of the pure mixture[l]. Small angle scattering 

studies were carried out in order to determine the detailed structure of the aerogels 

and to investigate the feasibility of structural measurements on aerogels containing 

mixtures. A model for the scattering mas constructed consisting of the product of

Phase Formation Sequence of Nickel Silicides from Rapid Thermal 

Annealing of Ni on 4H-Sic 

The time evolution of the CuAuIfmoduiated and CuAuI superlattice peaks near 

(110) for quenches from 703K to 653K and 643K is studied (Fig. 1). The ex- periment shows that CuAuII satellite peaks are generated at early times and that 

the persistence of these peaks is related to the quench temperature. At shallow 

quench temperatures or early times the modulated state is favored while at lower 

temperature or later times the ordered phase dominates. 

The ordering kinetics can be strongly altered by changing the prequench state 

from a disordered phase to a modulated phase. The growth of the ordered state 

is found to be strongly reduced for a quench from the modulated state. These 

experimental results were found in qualitative agreement with Langevin simulations 

based on the effective medium theory (K. R. Elder, 0. Malis, K. F. Ludwig, B. 

Chakraborty and N. Goldenfeld, in preparation). 

One interesting feature observed in the experiments and not in the simulations 

is a shift in position of the x-ray peaks with time. This motion arises from changes 

in both the lattice spacing and modulation wavelength. Examination of the fundamental (200) peaks indicates that, at the temperatures and time scales discussed 

above, most of the lattice has already relaxed to its tetragonal shape. More significant is the shifting of the satellite peaks away from the central superlattice peak. 

These changes are typically quite large and occur in the early to intermediate time 

scales. For example in the quench to 643K the modulation wavelength decreased 

from approximately 15.6 to 11.5 lattice constants on a time scale of 300s. We are currently investigating these effects with Monte-Carlo simulations using EmbeddedAtom cohesive energy calculations.

Determination of Polymer Chain Orientation in Rubbed Polyimide x20c 1 Films I1 

J. Sands (Pennsylvania State University) 

The role of rubbed polyimide films as templates to induce alignment of liquid 

crystal molecules is an unexplained phenomenon. The near surface orientation of 

polymer chains produced during buffing is dependent upon the distance over which 

the films are buffed. applied load: and film thickness. Despite the small macroscopic 

force applied at room temperature (= 200 Pa). a substantial orientation of polymer 

chain segments at the surface occurs. + This is surprising given that the bulk polyimide has high tensile modulus (10.5 GPa). tensile strength (300 hIPa), and glass 

transition temperature (Tg = 400°C). Grazing incidence x-ray scattering (GIXS) 

has been used to study the degree of near surface orientation as a fnnction of applied loads. GIXS results indicate that the niechanism for tlie observed orientation 

iii rubbed polymer films is driven by yielding of polymer chains aligned perpentlicnlnr to the rubbing direction. The yielding occnrs since microscopically there are 

large stresses. A model for the ~ricasnretl orientational changes tlemonstrates that

IVe report on the work performed during the first week of measurements at X21 

beam line, allocated during the 1-4/97 cycle to the General User Proposal 3136, 

entitled X-ray resonant Raman scattering study at the L2.3 edges of Nd in the 

Nd2FelAB permanent magnet system (local contact: Dr. C-C. Kao). Resonant 

inelastic (Raman) scattering spectra were recorded around the L3 absorption edge 

energy, monitoring the 4d5/2,3/2 + 2p3/2 radiative decay channel (L02.15). About 

15 spectra mere recorded at different fixed incident photon energies, hwl, around 

the L:$ edge as a fiinction of the scattered photon energy. h~w2 (IXS scans, four 

of them are sliowri in the figure. left panel). Two additional absorption channels 

(labeled Al,A2 in the figure) besides the strong dipolar 2p+5d (labeled B) were itlentifietl. with excitation energics lying 5-10 eV below the absorption whiteline 

energy. The quadrupolar origin of these pre-edge featnres is evidenced by its lower 

energy position and the qnalitative agreernerit with recent calculations. In order to 

directly compare the inelastic Raman scattering with XhICD spectra the evolution 

of tlie intensity of the dipolar ant1 qiiatlrupolar peaks in tlie "fixed hwl" spectra was 

monitored as a fiinction energy, thus keeping the energy transfer constant and fixed 

to tlie corresponding valiics of each observed feature (CFS scans). The corriparisori

Inelastic X-ray Scattering from Single Crystal Sodium and Lithium * I x21 I

(ORNL) 

Advances in synchrotron instrumentation [l] coupled with the capability of ab 

initio calculations in the last few years [a] provide an opportunity to study the 

dynamical response the many-electron system in metals. A number of low-Z metals 

have been investigated in the past decade. Still, reliable experimental S(q,w) data 

are required to advance the understanding of many-body physics. 

At X21, we have continued our measurement of the dynamical response of single 

crystal Na, the proto-typical free-electron metal. We grew a 1x1~5 cm3rod of single 

crystal of sodium of excellent quality. After determining the orientation of a test 

piece, we sawed a 1 mm thick slice of Na as our sample, chosing an orientatin such 

that we could measure S(q,w) in the [001],[110] and [lll] high-symmetry directions. 

Our aim was to measure the low-q plasmons of single crystal Na and the higherq response function in Na in those directions. In our recent run, we have made 

a complete set of measurements of Na in the [110] direction, and a partial set of 

measurements of the [111] plasmons in Na, including a careful measurement of the 

empty cell background and the energy resolution. These results are being analyzed, 

first to account for the scattering that arises from excitations related to the band 

structure of the crystal, and ultimately to assess the role of the electron-electron 

correlations in the simple metal Na. 

In addition, we have made careful measurements of the excitation spectrum of Na 

and Li single crystals at large wave vectors in high-symmetry directions, in order to 

probe many-body local-field effects and off-diagonal contributions to the dielectric 

function of simple metals. We have performed S(q,w) measurements of this type on both Na and Li single crystals. The Na measurements required long counting 

times (due to the high absorption) whereas the Li scattering was relatively strong.

Understanding the normal state electronic properties of the high-Tc copper oxides 

is important as a prerequisite for a theory of high temperature superconducitivity. 

In addition, the properties themselves are highly unusual. exhibiting non-Fermi-like 

behavior and have attracted much interest. both in this context and from a general perspective of understanding electronic behavior in other strongly correlated 

transition metal oxides (eg the colossal magnetoresistance niaganates). Theoretical 

approaches typically treat the copper oxide planes as the relevant electronic structure within a Hubbard-type model. These correctly predict the antiferromagnetic 

insulator ground state in the undoped materials, but do less well in calculating 

excited state properties, in part due to a lack of detailed knowledge of the model 

parameters. Here inelastic x-ray scattering can make an important contribution because, unlike other spectroscopies, it can measure the excitation spectrum directly 

without ttie complicating effects of a core-hole being present in the final state. Further tlie technique offers bulk-like penetration. 

We report resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of N~~CUO.~, the parent 

compouritl of ttie electron (loped high-Tc family, Nd~-xCe,CitO~~. Resonant scattering provides ttie atltlitional advantage of being an element specific probe, allowing 

the excitations associated with ttic copper orbitals to be prcfercntially probed. 11 

resonantly enhanced excitation of 2 counts per miniite was observed whtm the incident photon energy was turiecl through the Cu K-edge. Our results show that the 

anti-l)onding state in the CuO planes is 6 eV above the ground state. The cxcitatiori was identified with the help of numerical calciilatioIis of the scattering, usiug an Anderson impurity model to describe the Cu(3tl)-0(2p) hybridization. The fi 

eV excitation is only seen at 8990 eV incident energy. The theory also predicts an 

enhancement at 8983 eV, not seen in the cxperirrient, imd wvc spcculate that tlie 

absence of a feature at 8983 eV is associated with non-local (solid-state) effects.

Impact of Band Structure and Many-Body Effects on the Electronic 

Response of a Simple Metal Al)* x21 

B. C. Larson, J. Z. Tischler (ORNL), A. Fleszar (U. of Wiirtzburg), and A. G. 

Eguiluz (U. of TN & ORNL) 

Combined inelastic x-ray scattering and first-principles dynamical response calculations have demonstrated that band-structure effects in electronic energy loss 

spectra are much more pervasive than generally realized. High-resolution x-ray 

scattering measurements (-0.75 eV) made on A1 using the X-21 beam line at NSLS 

have shown that band-structure effects have a significant impact on the energy 

loss spectrum of A1 at both small and large wave vectors. In addition to the 

well-known band-structure and many-body local-field factor (LFF) plasmon energy 

shifts, zone-boundary collective state resonances, spectral shifts to lower energies, 

and high energy tails are observed at all wave vectors. Fig. 1 compares calculated 

non-interacting polarizabilities, xo (qp), for jellium and band electrons. We note 

that the calculations including the band structure contain a sharp dip at -8 eV, an overall spectral shift to lower energies, and a high-energy tail; none of these are 

present in the jellium calculations. The zone-boundary collective state structures 

(generated by energy gaps at the Brillouin zone boundary) are well known; however, the spectral shift to lower energies and the tail in the dynamical electronic 

response calculations at high energies are of equal or larger importance for quantitative extraction of many-body effects from the shape of energy loss spectra. The 

dynamical structure factor calculations, S(q,w), in Fig. 1 that include the actual 

band structure of aluminum are in remarkably good agreement with the measured 

loss spectrum at a wave vector of 0.71 k~, in contrast to the poor agreement of the 

jellium calculations with the measurements. 

The effects discussed above relate to diagonal contributions to the dielectric matrix. Measurements along the [OOl] direction have demonstrated the impact of 

off-diagonal effects as well, through the interaction of the band structure induced 

folded-plasmons with single-particle continuum states.

x2 1 Inelastic X-ray Scattering around the Metal-Insulator Transition in 

VOa 

0. Muller, P. Pfalzer, M. Klemm, S. Horn (Univ. Augsburg, Germany), M. L. 

denBoer (Hunter College CUNY) 

The metal insulator transition (MIT) in transition metal oxides has attracted 

much interest over the last decade. Widely studied examples include VzO3 and VOz, 

which show an MIT combined with a structural transition. While the transition 

in V2O3 is often considered to be Mott-Hubbard, this probably neglects the role 

played by the many atomic orbitals near the Fermi surface, and the situation is even less clear for V02, which may in fact be "more bandlike than correlated." The high 

temperature phase of V02 is a rutile metal with two molecules per unit cell. Below 

340 K the material becomes a monoclinic insulator, with four molecules per unit cell, 

reached by distortion of the rutile phase and formation of V - V pairs. Photoelectron 

spectroscopy has been used to study VO2, and the results differ in important ways 

from theoretical predictions. To resolve the evident disagreements, and to further 

study the electronic structure of VOn and the changes it undergoes at the MIT, we 

have carried out inelastic x-ray scattering experiments on well-characterized single 

crystals of VO2, both above and below the MIT and as a function of the momentum 

transfer q. In Fig. 1 we show the energy loss region below 35 eV for the sample in 

its insulating state at room temperature. Several loss features are apparent, which are found to disperse with the momentum transfer q (not shown). Also shown in 

Fig. 1 is a preliminary fit to the spectra, showing it is composed of a number of 

inelastic energy loss excitations, analysis of which is not yet complete. In Fig. 2 

the same spectrum is shown with the sample in the metallic state above 340 K. 

Comparison shows there are important spectral changes associated with the MIT, 

which will shed light on the electronic states involved in the transition.

Information on the structure of catalytic surfaces. in particular the structure of 

active phases. obtained during the course of reactions is of paramount important 

for the areas of electrocatalysis and catalysis. Such information can help designing 

electrocatalysis with desired properties and increase the understailding of electrocatalytic reactions and these effects are structure-dependent. In this work. the grazing

X22A X-Ray Scattering Study of the Calcitewater Interface: Surface 

Structure and Metal Adsorption 

P. Geissbuhler, D. Yee*, L. B. Sorensen (U. Washington, Seattle), P. Fenter, 

N. C. Sturchio (ANL), and E. DiMasi (BNL) "Present address The Boeing Co. 

Chemical and physical interactions at mineral surfaces control the transport behavior of metal contaminants in soils and groundwater systems. Atomic-scale structural information on metal speciation and reaction mechanisms at the mineral-water 

interface is required to achieve a fundamental understanding of these interactions. 

Calcite is a ubiquitous mineral and an important metal sorbent. While many 

powder sorption experiments have been performed on calcite, almost no in-situ 

atomic-scale structural data is available for adsorbates at the calcite-water interface. 

One unresolved question has been the nature of the calcite surface structure in 

water and air. We have performed X-ray reflectivity measurements of calcite single 

crystals after cleaving in air, in-situ with a thin water film, and after being blown 

dry with N2 gas. In all cases the reflectivity differs from that expected of sharply 

terminated bulk calcite, and is suggestive of relaxation of the carbonate groups in 

the surface layer (Fig. 1). Essentially no difference is observed between the aircalcite and water-calcite interfaces. 

We have also studied the adsorption of metals from solution, including Pb and 

Cd. Calcite exposed to Pb solution accumulates a submonolayer of Pb atoms. In 

combination with previous X-ray standing wave studies, our data indicate that Pb 

substitutes for Ca in the surface layer [1]. Exposure to solution containing Cd 

results in a Cd-enriched surface, followed by the appearance of CdCOa crystallites 

which are strained by the underlying CaC03 lattice (Fig. 2) [2].

I Depth-Dependence of Strains in Cu Films on A1N * x22l3, 

L. J. Martinez-Miranda, Y. Li (U. of Maryland, College Park), L. K. Kurihara, P. 

Schoen, and G. M. Chow (NRL) 

We have studied the depth dependence of the structure of Cu films deposited on 

A1N substrates via the poly01 method. In this method, Cu particles are believed 

to precipitate from solution, and aggregate to form a number of reaction interfaces, 

and a metallic film on the substrate. We have found that this metallic film consists 

of a bulk polycrystalline Cu film as well as an upper layer of (100) textured Cu. 

This layer constitutes as much as one third of the film. 

We have studied the in-plane structure of this upper layer using 8keV X-rays. We 

have found that the structure of the films in this region consists of a distribution of 

lattice spacings that correspond to strains that range between -0.6 and 1 percent, as seen in Figure 1. The observed in-plane peaks are superimposed over a wide 

diffused background. The in-plane azimuthal texturing depends on the time the 

solution is left refluxing during film processing as well as the orientation of the 

substrate during the deposition process. Films deposited on a horizontally oriented 

substrate are more textured than films deposited on a vertically oriented substrate. 

Films refluxed for a longer time are less textured than those refluxed at shorter 

times (compare Figures 1 and 2).

The Structural behavior of layered and spinel lithiated oxides such as Li,l\InzOq 

vary considerably depending on the preparation conditions. The diversity in structural properties in turn affects the behavior of these materials when they are used as 

cathodes in battery cells. In situ x-ray diffraction studies of these materials within 

operating battery cells offers an excellent method for understariding and improving 

them, specially with regard to their cycle life characteristics. 

Naterials studied as a part of this investigation, were from commercial sources. 

Structural evolution in these spinel compounds could be classified into two groups, 

A and B. Group A had clear two or three phase coexistence. while group B showed 

snpressetl two phase coexistence.Although the exact preparation conditions of the 

various samples are proprietary. comparison of our experimental results with those 

of other researchers leads to the conclusion that the group B materials were prepared lithium rich compared to group A. The group B materials consequently show 

suppressed structural transitions and more importantly better cycle life. This is 

aniply exhibited in figure 1. In contrast to this the group A materials all showed 

cocxistence of two or more phases as evident from figure 2 which shows the cocxisterice of three phases at x = 0.5 in Li,rhInaO.L. Although all the groiip B rnatcrials 

have Ims pronouncctl structural transitions. we have riot rneasuretl a single batch 

wherc the transitions were completely supressetl. It may tiirn oiit to be cornplctcly

Epitaxial Growth of Electrodeposited "BCC" Copper on A~i(100) I X22A 

R. Randler, D.h.1. Kolb (U. Ulm). I.K. Robinson (U. of Il.), and B.M. Ocko (BNL) 

Scanning Tunneling hficrocopy studies of copper electrodeposition on Au( 100) 

strongly suggest that the first ten monolayers deposit epitaxially while an instability 

develops at higher coverages which leads to a buckled film( 1). Here we report x-ray 

scattering results for electrodeposited copper films below ten monolayers. Studies were carried out using a flame annealed single crystal and an in-situ x-ray scattering 

electrochemical cell. All potentials are with respect to Ag/AgCI electrode. 

X-ray specular and nonspecular reflectivities are shown in the figures. The ap 

pearance of the broad shoulder/peak at about L=2.8 (Fig. 1) results from a thin 

copper film with a Cu-Cu layer spacing smaller than the .4u(100) layer spacing. The 

reflectivities were fit to a real-space model which includes the semi-infinite Au( 100) 

lattice terminated by epitaxial copper with a Gaussian thickness distribution. The 

best fits give 4.2 CII layers in (c) and 6.5 layers in (tl). For all coverages. the cxtractcd copper layer spacing is 2.85 i 0.03 A which is very close to the (2.885 li) Aii-A~i spacing. The close agreement between the in-plane and out-of-plane lattice constants, along with atltlitional diffraction data (See Fig 2), indicates that the 

deposited copper is only slightly tlistortetl from BCC.

X22A Multiple Structures of T1 Adlayers Induced By Coadsorption of Bron the Au(ll1) Electrode Surface 

J. X. Wang and R. R. AdZid (BNL) 

The voltammetry curve for the underpotential deposition of T1 on Au(ll1) in 0.1 

M HC104 solution containing 1 mM TlBr (Fig. 1.) shows rarely observed multitude 

of reversible peaks. T1, at potentials negative of peak E, and Br, at potentials 

positive of peak A, form incommensurate close-packed, hexagonal adlayers as in 

the absence of the other species. At the intermediate potentials, three superlattice 

structures are observed which do not exist in the absence of either T1’ or Br-. 

The phase transitions are shown by the potential dependent diffraction intensities 

at (9/13,3/13), (0,1/2), and (0.468,0.468) for the 3 - (m x a), 2 - (3 x &), 

and c(2.136 x &) phases, respectively. The first two phases are commensurate and 

well-ordered, existing in the low-current potential regions between peaks B-C and 

C-D. The diffraction at the (0.468,0.468) position is broad and weak, but does not 

shift with potential in the region between peak D and E. The integrated intensity 

has been measured for in-plane diffractions (L=0.2) up to the fifth order for the 

3 - (m x m) and 2 - (3 x 8) phases and the part of data are shown in Fig. 

2. The integrated intensities (after corrections) agree with the values (listed in 

Fig. 2) calculated using the models shown in Fig. 1. The (6 x a) unit cell 

contains 3 T1 and 6 Br. The hexagonal symmetry and the Tl/Br ratio of 1/2 in 

this phase can be rationalized by the higher partial charge of T1 than Br at the 

rather positive potential. As the T1 becomes more discharged at more negative 

potentials, the Tl/Br ratio becomes 1/1 and the 2 - (3 x a) phase exhibits quasisquare symmetry. Layer spacings in the coadsorbed phases are proposed on the 

basis of the ionic radii of T1+ (2.98 A) and Br- (3.92 A) and will be determined 

from surface rod measurements.

I X-Ray Induced Transitions in Manganites I X22B I 

D. Casa, V. Kiryukhin, B. Keimer (Princeton U.), J. P. Hill, A. Vigliante (BNL), 

Y. Tomioka, and Y. Tokura (JRCAT) 

Manganites of composition Prl-xCax Mn03 (x=O.3-0.5) were investigated by 

synchrotron x-ray diffraction in high magnetic fields. At low temperatures these 

materials undergo magnetic field induced transitions from charge-ordered antiferromagnetic insulators to ferromagnetic metals. Surprisingly, diffraction experiments 

on the x=0.3 material revealed that exposure to the x-ray beam itself also diminishes the charge order. At the same time, the electrical conductivity is enhanced by 

several orders of magnitude‘”. 

During the past year, we have systematically investigated this novel effect. We 

found that an applied magnetic field accelerates the x-ray induced transition for 

x=0.3, and a threshold field has to be applied to induce the transition for larger 

x (2T for x=0.4, and 8T for x=0.5). The lattice domain structure is altered in a nontrivial manner by x-ray exposure. The transition occurs only at low temperatures and is reversible on thermal cycling. When Ca is partially substituted by 

Sr, persistent x-ray photoconductivity is observed up to temperatures in excess of 

100K. This may facilitate possible applications of the effect in x-ray detection or x-ray lithography. 

In analogy to persistent photoconductivity in compound semiconductors doped 

with DX centers, we argue that the x-ray induced transition is evidence for strong 

electron-lattice interactions of which the Jahn-Teller effect is a plausible origin. 

However, the collective nature of the transition in the manganites, and the associated kinetics, require more elaborate models.

I Surface Structure of Liquid Hg/Au Alloys * I X22B I

and P. S. Pershan (Harvard U.) 

Catalysis at the surface of binary metal alloys is understood to depend on the 

valence of the two metallic elements, as extra electrons in the dissolved metal act 

to fill unoccupied surface states. Since the catalyzed reaction proceeds at surface 

sites. the disorder frozen into the solid metal surface also plays a role [l]. 

Catalysis at the liquid metal surface has several advantages over that at the 

solid metal: the surface is smooth. particles are mobile, and active centers can be 

refreshed on short time scales. Studies of the rate of formic acid decomposition over liquid mercury with different concentrations of dissolved metals have found that the 

addition of higher-valence metals decreases the activation energy of the reaction. 

This was interpreted as indicating that electrons arc localized it1 covalent bontls at 

the alloy surface [I]. 

To study the effect of dilute alloys on the surface structure of liquid metals. we have performed X-ray reflectivity measiirements on liquid mercury alloyed with O.0G.

Our understanding of the liquid metal surface lags behind that of the solid. due 

to complications introduced by the lack of long-range order. Features unique to 

liquid metals. such as surface induced layering. have recently been identified through 

surface X-ray scattering. Studies at different temperatiires reveal characteristics 

inconsistent with the predictions of capillary wave theory. shown to account well 

for simple liquids.

X-ray Scattering Studies of PBLG Monolayers at the Gas/Water 

Interface 

M. Fukuto, R.K. Heilmann, P.S. Pershan (Harvard U.), J.A. Griffiths, S.M. Yu, 

and D.A. Tirrell (U. Mass Amherst) 

We report x-ray reflectivity and grazing- incidence diffraction (GID) mea- surements of both mono-and polydisperse PBLG monolayers as a function of 

area/monomer A. We found no discernible effects on microscopic behavior due 

to differing dispersity. The area-pressure isotherm shows with decreasing A (I) a 

surface pressure free region at large A, followed by (11) a steep rise in surface pres- sure T, (111) a broad coexistence region with fairly constant 7r, and (IV) a further 

increase in 7r at even smaller A. The limiting values for A strongly suggest a mono- to-bilayer transition. In region (I) a single GID peak (inter-helix-distance d E 13.6 

A independent of A) indicates parallel alignment of a-helices. Together with reflectivity results and previously taken Brewster angle microscopy pictures this suggests 

coexistence of macroscopic areas of uncovered water with PBLG monolayer regions. 

In region (11) the subphase is completely covered by a monolayer and the GID peak 

shift shows a decrease in d to N 12.6 A, resulting in an average in-plane compressibility of about 8 x lop3 cm/dyne in the direction perpendicular to the helix axes. 

In region (IV) the GID pattern shows a narrow (dl 2 12 - 12.6 A) and a broader 

peak (d2 2 13.5 - 14 A). Reflectivity indicates a bilayer with the top layer being less 

dense. These results suggest that compression through the coexistence region (111) 

forces a-helices out of the original monolayer into an initially unoccupied second 

layer on top. The compressibility of the sharp peak in region (IV) is comparable to 

that of the single peak in region (11), while the broader peak in region (IV) appears 

less compressible. We believe the broader peak originates from the less dense second 

layer. (Work supported by NSF-DMR-95-23440 and NSF-DMR-94-00396)

I Diffuse Scattering from a Langmuir Monolayer of PBLG* I X22B I 

M. Fukuto, R.K. Heilmann, O.G. Shpyrko, P.S. Pershan (Harvard U.), J.A. Griffiths, S.M. Yu, and D.A. Tirrell (U. Mass. Amherst) 

Off-specular diffuse scattering measurements have been carried out on the Langmuir monolayer (LM) formed by polydisperse poly-y-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG) 

at the water/gas interface. The intensity is measured within the incident plane by 

scanning the detector angle (&scan) relative to the surface, for various fixed incident angles (cy). The results are shown in Fig. 1 for the monolayer at <T> = 7.8 

dy/cm and in Fig. 2 for the bilayer at <7r> = 8.8 dy/cm. Each solid line corresponds to the convolution of the known experimental resolution with the differential cross section expected from the presence of thermally excited capillary waves and 

the surface structure used to model the reflectivity from the homogeneous Langmuir surface layer. Agreement between the measurements and the theory for the 

PBLG monolayer supports the assumptions that the monolayer is microscopically 

homogeneous and the interfacial height fluctuations on the monolayer surface follow 

the capillary wave model. However, the data for the bilayer is consistently higher 

than would be expected for a homogeneous bilayer by a factor of 1.5 to 2. The 

ratio of the measured to the expected intensity is plotted in Fig. 2b for the bilayer, 

which clearly shows the excess scattering in the off-specular part. The understanding of the bilayer results requires further quantitative analysis. However, the excess 

scattering must be due to microscopic inhomogeneity in the second layer.

The surface structure of melts of diblock n-alkanes F(CF2), (CH1),H (denoted 

F,H,) were investigated for n=12, 16, and 18, and m=12 near the bulk freezing 

temperature Tf . Unlike simple liquid. including non-fluorinated alkane melts, the 

X-ray reflectivity (XR) curves of the liquidsurface (Figla) at -10K above Tf show 

modulations for all three compounds, indicating layering at the surface. The shape 

and wavelength of the modulations are consistent with a first layer of molecules 

having its hydrocarbon part towards the vapour, and its fluorocarbon part pointing 

into the liquid. 

Upon cooling towards Tj. F12H12 and F,zHls show surface freezing for 

Tj<T<T,%Tf + 2K, while F12H16 does not. Fl2H12 forms a well-defined, dense 

crystalline surface monolayer, as indicated by a sharp minimum in the XR (Fig. lb) 

and a strong GID peak. both of which remain unchanged down to T,f. By contrast, 

the surface monolayer fornied by FlZHlH is amorphous in-plane, and varies strongly 

with temperature below T,, as shown by the XR curves for different temperat,iires 

(Fig. IC). 

These results, in particular the strong dependence of the surface organization 

near T, on the length of the hydrocarbon. reflect the strong competition. duc to

Grazing Incidence X-ray Scattering Study of the Buried Glass-Liquid 

Crystal Interface * 

Y. Hu, T. K. Misra, and L. J. Martinez-Miranda (U. of Maryland, College Park) 

We have used grazing incidence X-ray Diffraction to study the structure of a 

smectic liquid crystal (LC) film at the buried LC-glass substrate interface. This 

measurment is done in reflection mode through the glass substrate, which consists 

of a grating photolithographed onto a 0.22 mm glass slide. The experiment used 

both 1.38 and 1.34 A X-rays. X-rays in this energy range can penetrate through the 

glass substrate, which enables the direct study of the LC-glass interface. We varied 

the incidence angle between 0 and 0.5 degrees in order to obtain depth information on the the in-plane structure of the sample. Two grating depths were used in this 

study: 1.6 and 0.5 micrometers. 

Both the deep as well as the shallow gratings show evidence of in-plane alignment 

inside the grating grooves. The smectic layers exhibit a compression near the glass 

interface, as well as deep inside the film. The former result is consistent with 

previous reflectivity observations of confined LC’s in similar gratings. The smectic 

layers are dilated at intermediate incidence angles. This structure is consistent 

with a chevron structure. In addition, the in-plane structure at the interface in the 

deeper gratings shows evidence of a higher azimuthal disordering than the structure 

observed in the shallow gratings.

I Charge Density Wave Structure in NbSe3 in High Magnetic Fields I X22B I 

V. Kiryukhin, D. Casa, B. Keimer (Princeton U.), J.P. Hill (BNL), M.J. Higgins, 

and S. Bhattacharya (NEC) 

NbSe3 undergoes two successive charge density wave (CDW) transitions at 145K 

and 59K. The magnetic field dependence of the charge density wave structure has 

been of interest since the discovery of a very large positive magnetoresistance below 

59K. On the basis of subsequent narrow band noise and thermopower measurements 

in transverse magnetic fields, it was attributed to a substantial increase in the num- ber of carriers participating in collective CDW transport, lowering the density of 

normal carriers in ungapped pockets of the Fermi surface. This would correspond 

to an increase in the CDW order parameter induced by the magnetic field. Theoretically, this behavior can be understood by considering the orbital response of the 

electrons to the magnetic field. The transverse field constrains the electronic mo- tion, thereby improving the nesting properties of the quasi-one dimensional Fermi 

surface and enhancing its propensity for CDW formation. Other transport experiment seemed to suggest a magnetic field induced shift of the CDW wave vector. 

However, both some of the experiments and the theoretical interpretations were 

subsequently challenged. A microscopic, equilibrium probe such as x-ray diffraction is necessary to conclusively establish the influence of a magnetic field on the 

amplitude and periodicity of the CDW. 

To this end, a NbSe3 crystal was mounted in a high field superconducting magnet, and scans through superlattice reflections corresponding to the low temperature 

CDW were taken in a high resolution configuration. Typical data are shown in Figure 1. An upper bound of A q/q < 2.5 x lop3 on the magnetic field induced shift 

of the CDW wave vector was thus established. The CDW order parameter is also 

magnetic field independent, to within 10%. These measurements complement transport data taken on the same material and help clarify a long-standing controversy 

regarding their interpretation.

Valine gramicidin A (VGA) is a known antibiotic polypeptide consisting of fifteen

for transport of monovalent cations through lipid membranes. The surface pressure

PZT and PLZT thin films. These films were deposited on lanthanum aluminum 

oxide (LAO) substrates using the pulsed laser deposition method. Grazing incidence 

X-ray scattering was used to characterize the in-plane structure of the films, using 

1.554A X-rays. The observed in-plane peaks in PLZT consist of a strong signal 

superimposed on a difused background, as shown in Figure 1. This structure is 

a-axis oriented, and exhibits compressive stress along the direction of the substrate 

twinning lines as well as perpendicular to these. The stress along the latter direction 

is approximately twice as small than the observed stress along the the twinning lines. 

The in-plane structure of PZT consists of both a-axis and c-axis peaks over a difuuse 

background. The observed stress is smaller than in PLZT.

PS26o-b-PVP-CnX240(X=I, Br; n-1,4,8,10) have recently been found to selfassemble at the air/water interface to form circular structures referred to as surface 

micelles. Synchrotron X-ray reflectivity studies were performed to address the structure relationship between Langmuir Films and the LB Films. Specular reflectance 

(see Figure 1) reveals that the thickness of the polyelectrolyte layer increases by a factor of 2 as polymer surface density increases 4-fold. No significant hydration 

of the layer is observed. The off-specular scattering data (Figure 2) are well fit 

by an exact expression for the scattering intensity from a two-dimensional-ordered 

hexagonal lattice with a capillary wave contribution. The change in micelle-micelle 

distance or in the film thickness does not correlate in the pressure-area isotherm 

for 1126. A correlation was observed only for the degree of surface ordering and the 

film stiffness.

Research in the area of ”Nanophase hIaterials” is largely motivated by the unique 

optical and electronic properties exhibited by the particles as a result of their finite 

size, shape, and packing configuration. X-ray reflection has been used to study the 

structure of Langmuir Films of alkanethiol coated gold nanoparticles deposited at 

the air-water interface. Using the results from this study and Transmission Electron Microscopy (see figure 1) of Langmnir Blodgett Film studies, me are able to 

obtain information abont the molecular architecture (particle size. film thickness, 

and interparticle spacing) of films produced at different area/molecules, teniperatnres. and using alkanethiols of varying carbon chain length. Preliniinary resnlts 

indicate that the gold particles itsslime a prolate structure when spread on the water 

surface with a thickncss of 20 angstroms.

I Electrodeposited Bromide on Ag(ll0); Phases and Phase Transition I X22B I 

X-ray Reflectivity Studies of Phospholipids B.M. Ocko and J.X. Wang (BNL), and T. Wandlowski (U. of Ulm & Munich) 

The structure of electrodeposition of Br on the Ag(ll0) surface from a NaBr 

solution has been investigated using surface x-ray diffraction techniques. As shown 

by the open circles in Fig. la, the primitive Ag(ll0) surface is rectanglar. Above a 

critical potential, -0.62 V vs. Ag/AgCl in 0.050 mM NaBr, the adsorbed Br forms 

an incommensurate c(px2) unit cell. As is typical of rectangular electrodeposited 

adlayers, the bromide adlayer is uniaxially electrocompressive. Diffraction scans 

through the lowest order peak, (H,0.5), are shown in Fig. lb. The peak position 

varies between 0.70 and 0.74 as the potential ranges between -0.60 and -0.20V1 

respectively. The bromide coverage is exactly equal to the peak position, thus it 

also varies between 0.70 and 0.74. 

Between -0.8 V and -0.62V no diffraction features, besides those from the Ag 

lattice are observed. However, above -0.80 V there is a large decrease in the scattered 

intensity at (O,l,O.l) as shown in Figure 2. This results from the adsorbed Br 

interferring destructively with the scattering from the underlying Ag lattice which 

occurs when the Br occupies the hollow rows, as indicated by the dashed lines in 

Figure 1. However, there is no concurrent loss of intensity at (1,0,0.1). This leads 

to the conclusion that the adsorbed bromide is a novel lattice gas one-dimensional 

liquid phase (see Figure la, left).

The interfacial property between the sulfur(n-octadecanethiol) and metal

Magnetic and Structural Measurements of Substrate-Matched Erbium Films

of Illinois) 

The magnetic and structural properties of three erbium films epitaxially grown on a Luo.6Y0.4 alloy substrate have been studied using x-ray magnetic resonant 

scattering at the Er LIII edge. The composition of the substrates was chosen in 

order to minimize the strain at the Er-substrate interface. The epitaxial relationships in two of the samples were [110] A1203 11 [110] Ta (1 [OOl] LuO.6YO.4 11 [OOl] Er. 

Their Er film thicknesses were 4000 Aand 1000 A. A third sample with thickness 

4000 Ahaving a [OOl] A1203 substrate base layer was also studied. Although the 

average Er lattice constants of these films were closer to those of bulk Er than those 

of Er on Y substrates studied earlier, their magnetic behavior for temperatures below 55 K showed clear deviations from that of bulk Er. The conical 5/21 phase 

found in bulk samples was suppressed in these thin films. At low temperatures 

the magnetic wave vectors of the 4000 Afilms locked to 1/4 and 4/15 for [110] and 

[OOl] sapphire substrates, respectively. It seems that even for thin film samples 

with minimal film-substrate interfacial strain the interfacial clamping is sufficient 

to alter the low-temperature magnetic structure.

I Incommensurate Magnetism In PrBa2 Cu306.92 

and T. Wolf (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe) 

J.P. Hill (BNL), A.T. Boothroyd (U. Oxford), N.H. Andersen (Risoe), E. Brecht 

One strategy for elucidating the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity is to study compounds in which the superconductivity is anomalously suppressed. 

The absence of superconductivity in Laz-= BaxCu04 for example, has been found 

to be associated with the pinning of incommensurate charge and spin stripe correlations, which may form the basis for a pairing mechanism in the cuprate superconductors. Similarly, PrBa2Cu30E+z has attracted a great deal of interest as an anomalous member of the (RE)BU~CU~O~+~ series, where RE=rare-earth. In addition to 

the absence of superconductivity, a number of other magneto-transport properties 

are unique; it is an insulator, exhibiting Cu antiferromagnetism for all z, and the Pr 

sublattice appears to order at unexpectedly high temperatures, TpT (z) = 10 - 20 K , compared to other members of the series, for which TRE = 0 - 2 K. This behavior 

is particularly puzzling in light of the fact that the hole densities in the CuO planes 

and chains are very similar to superconducting members of the series. 

The role of the Pr site magnetism in these phenomena remains an open question. While neutron scattering studies suggest that the Pr does indeed carry an ordered moment, this interpretation has been called into question by recent NMR 

work, which suggested that the ordered moment was only 0.017 p~. To address 

this issue we have carried out resonant magnetic x-ray scattering studies of this 

compound. This technique has the advantage that it is element specific, and offers 

high reciprocal space resolution. The primary result of this work is shown in the 

figure below, in which a scan through the (0.5,0.5,8) antiferromagnetic Bragg point 

is shown. These data were taken with the incident energy tuned to the Pr Lrr edge 

and thus demonstrate the existence of an ordered Pr moment. Remarkably the Pr 

magnetism was discovered to be incommensurate, as illustrated by the existence of 

two magnetic satellites. The neutron data confirm this result and prove that the 

modulation is a static one. (<,{.I) Scons

Structure and Temperature Dependence of Truly Clean Ru(0001) I X22C I

A glaring discrepancy exists between experimental values and state-of-the-art 

first-principles theory in the structures determined for reactive transition metal 

surfaces. [l] Ru(0001) has received the most attention from this group [2-51. with 

experiments (electron diffraction) reporting a 2% contraction of the outermost layer 

and theory predict,ing a 4% contraction. The disparity has been attributed to contamination of this reactive surface by H, a satisfactory explanation from the tlieoretical side which predicts a 2% contraction for the H-covered surfaced. [4] \Ve have 

measured the structure of Ru(0001) iising x-ray diffraction. which has capabilities 

inaccessible to other techniques. The bcst fit to the data at 300 K involves a first

Surface Relaxation on the Clean and Hydrogen Covered Ru(001) 

Surface Measured By X-ray Diffraction 

V.Jahns, A.P.Baddorf, D.M.Zehner (ORNL), and D.Gibbs (BNL) 

In several previous LEED investigations of the clean Ru(001) surface a 2% con- traction of the top layer distance has been determined. On the Hydrogen-covered 

Ru(OO1) surface the contraction is removed and even a slight expansion occurs (1- 

2%). On the other hand, theoretical geometrical structure studies predict a much 

stronger layer contraction of 4% for the clean Ru(001) surface and also a contraction of 1.5% for the Hydrogen-covered Ru(OO1). Motivated by the currently ongoing 

controversy we have measured the X-ray diffraction intensities of the specular and 

off-specular truncation rods of the clean and Hydrogen-covered Ru(OO1) surface for 

temperatures from 300K up to over 2000K. It is observed that the truncation rod 

intensities for the clean Ru(OOl)-surface at room temperature and 500K and for 

the Hydrogen-covered surface at room temperature are not significantly different. 

Under these conditions the intensity distributions clearly indicate a contraction of 

the top layer distance. At temperatures of 1890K or 2040K we observe a small 

change in the modulation of the truncation rod intensities with respect to the low 

temperature data which can be attributed to a partial release of the contraction. 

Keeping the momentum transfer fixed at the off-specular truncation rod (Q = 1 0 

1) and changing the temperature it is observed that at high temperatures far below 

the melting point the intensity decrease obeys Debye-Waller behaviour. At highest 

temperatures close to the melting point a strong decrease of the truncation rod 

intensity might indicate anharmonic thermal effects.

The structure and phase behavior of the Au(001) surface between room temperature and bulk melting is remarkably similar to that of Pt(001). For example, both 

surfaces exhibit disordered phases at high temperatures (above 0.9 Tm, where Tm 

is the bulk melting temperature) and incommensurate quasi-hexagonal reconstructions at lower temperatures. In addition, for temperatures decreasing below about 

0.8 Tm, both exhibit surface rotational transitions. However, there are also intriguing differences. The high temperature disordered phase of Pt(001) is rough, while 

that of Au(001) appears smooth, although disordered within the surface plane. The 

Pt(001) surface further exhibits a continuous rotational transformation while that 

of Au(001) is discontinuous. Although some progress has been made in describing 

the phase behavior of Au(001) using MD simulations and modified elastic theory, 

these fascinating differences between Pt and Au remain largely unexplained. In the 

present work, we have undertaken an x-ray scattering study of the structure and 

phase behavior of Ir(001), the neighbor to the left of Pt in the Periodic Table. We 

find that at temperatures above 0.7 Tm, Ir(001) apparently roughens in a manner similar to Pt(001) (see Figure 1). Below 0.7 Tm, the surface exhibits a corrugated, 

quasi-hexagonal reconstruction (see Figure 2), similar to that of Au and Pt (001). 

However, in constrast to Au and Pt(001), the Ir (001) reconstruction is commen- surate with the substrate (possessing a simple (5x1) structure) and exhibits no 

rotational transformation at any temperature. The absence of a rotational transformation is qualitatively consistent with the theory of Novaco and McTague, who 

showed that an incommensurate overlayer on a rigid substrate can lower its energy 

by a small rotation. However, their theory fails to predict the rotation angles observed for Au and Pt (001). In summary, the structures and phases exhibited by Ir, 

Pt and Au(001) surfaces are qualitatively very similar, yet differ strikingly in their 

details-in ways which stand outside the predictions of any current theories.

(BNL) 

There is a great deal of current interest in strongly correlated electron systems, 

such as the transition metal oxides, which exhibit such diverse phenomena as highTc superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. The rich physics of these 

systems results from the fact that the charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom 

all play important roles in determining the electronic and magnetic properties. Of 

these phenomena, the least well understood is the behavior of the orbital degrees of 

freedom. This is because. until recently, there has been no clircct probe of orbital 

order. though its presence has been inferred indirectly from, for example, lattice 

distortions associated with cooperative ordering. 

X-ray scattering is sensitive to the charge distribution in a solid, and therefore is, 

in principle, capable of observing orbital ordering directly. However, the sensitivity 

to the anisotropy in the charge distribution resiilting from just one orbital out of 

tlie total complement of a given ion is \'cry small. Fortunately, this situation is 

altered by tuning the incident photon energy to a resonance that couples to that 

orbital. In this case, the sensitivity may be dramatically enhanced. 

iVe have carried out studies of LahInOs. Resonant scattering mas observed with 

the incident photon enerD tuned to the vicinity of the hIn K-cclge, corresponding 

to a tloiibling of the periodicity along the (110) tlirection. We attribute this to an 

ordering of the hIns+ eg orbital. This interpretation is supported by the polarization dependence of the scattering, which is dominantly 0 4 x, and the azimuthal 

tleperitlence, which shows a twufoltl symmttry for rotations about the scattering 

vector. Theoretical calculations describing the scattering process and which prrtlict 

these depentlences arc currrntly iintlerway. The ternperature dependence of the 

orbital ordering \vas also invcstigntctl. The ordering mas foiuitl to disappear above

Structure and Magnetism of EuB6 * I x22c 

S. Sullow, M.C. Aronson (U. of Michigan), J.L. Sarrao, Z. Fisk (NHMFL), A. 

Vigliante, and D. Gibbs (BNL) 

Recent experiments on EuB~ single crystals (Pm3m) show the system to undergo 

two instead of the previously reported single ferromagnetic transition. However, 

the appearance of two FM transitions in a cubic m3m crystal is impossible because 

of severe symmetry restrictions on the possible magnetic structures for a given 

crystalline symmetry. Thus, to determine the symmetry of our crystal we performed a detailed x-ray study. la we present the T dependence of the lattice 

parameter a of EuB~, determined from the [loo] and [200] Bragg peaks. The overall 

value of a agrees well with previous reports. At the magnetic transitions no change 

of the lattice parameter is seen, ruling out massive structural changes accompanying 

the transitions. In Fig. lb we plot the intensity distribution in one quadrant of 

reciprocal space [hod close to the [300] Bragg peak at 20K; similar results have been 

found at other Bragg peaks. The intensity distribution of the Bragg peaks is not 

isotropic in the hl plane. Instead, wings protrude from the side of the Bragg peak. 

The intensity distribution of the Bragg peaks themselves was well-described by a resolution-limited Lorentzian function, corresponding to a structural correlation 

length of >4000A. The wings at the Bragg peaks are found in all hkl planes, with 

one wing for each quadrant of the plane. The direction of the wings in [hkl] space 

is not related to a high symmetry axis of the lattice; for instance, the relative 

direction of the wing in Fig. lb is [-3021. The wing intensity decreases slightly 

as T is increased from 10 to 150K, making thermal diffusive scattering unlikely. 

Several other explanations for the wings, like strain, lattice disorder or vacancies, 

are possible, but presently we cannot determine which of these apply to EuBs. 

Regarding the symmetry of our crystal, we found a Structural anomaly, but cannot 

conclusively relate this to a lowered crystalline symmetry.

Real-time Relaxation of the Cu/Ru(001) Interface During Growth I X22C I 

H. Zajonz, D. Gibbs, (BNL), V. Jahns, A.P. Baddorf and D.M. Zehner (ORNL) 

Since the discovery of the stripe-phase reconstruction of An(lll), in which partial dislocations separate regions of fcc stacking from hcp stacking, this motif has 

been found in nearly all heteroepitaxial metal systems studied to date. However, 

very little is known about the structure of the interface. In this work, we have 

begun x-ray scattering studies of the structure of Cu layers deposited on Ru(001) 

substrates during growth and versus substrate temperature. The near-neighbor 

spacing in bulk Cu is 5.8% smaller than that of Ru, which has an hcp structure. 

From earlier STM studies, it has been established that the first layer of Cu on Ru 

adopts a pseudomorphic structure, but that the two-layer film exhibits a stripephase reconstruction. Our x-ray experiments involve characterizing the appearance 

and evolution of the stripe-phase reconstruction peak as a function of Cu coverage 

and substrate temperature. At 720 K, we confirm a pseudomorphic Cu structure 

for coverages up to about one monolayer, followed by the growth of a stripe-phase 

reconstruction between one and two layers (see Figure 2). We find that the average Cu spacing is contracted in the stripe-phase by about 5.3% relative to the 

near-neighbor spacing of the Ru(001) substrate. At two monolayers coverage, there 

is an abrupt contraction of the average Cu spacing by an additional 0.5% (see 

Figure 1). Remarkably, the interfacial lattice then appears to oscillate with a 0.1% 

amplitude and a three layer period at least for coverages up to ten monolayers. To our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been observed previously for an interfacial 

reconstruction. Preliminary studies at lower temperatures (300-500 K) suggest that 

the stripe-phase, interfacial reconstruction is relatively disordered, and that at some temperature there is a cross-over to the ordered, oscillatory behavior. However, this 

remains to be established.

10 monolayers Cu coverage at 720 K. 

The intense peak located at (H,K)=(1,0) 

corresponds to the (1,0,0.15) truncation rod of Ru 001). The peak at 

(H,K)=(1.02,0.04 \ is the first harmonic 

of the stripe-phase reconstruction of the 

Cn. The second harmonic is visible at 

(H,K)=(1.06,0.06). 
In situ X-ray Absorption Studies of Electrodeposited Thin Films * I X23A2 

AI. Balasiibramanian and C. A. Melendres (ANL) 

We have performed in situ x-ray absorption studies on electrodeposited films of 

Ni and Cr from aqueous solutions and determined the local atomic and electronic 

structure of these elements in such films. The films mere deposited on a graphite 

substrate, typically at a constant cathodic current of 5.1 mA/cm2 for 15 minutes. 

As can be seen from the XANES, illustrated in Figure (1). the films deposited from 

solutions containing Cr+3 ions do not show a significant pre-edge feature, consistent 

with the presence of Cri3 in such films (curves a and c). A film formed from a 

solntion containing Cr+6 ions shows only a small pre-edge feature. suggesting Cr 

exists pretlominantely as Cr+3 in this film (curve b). In sharp contrast. the film codeposited from a solution containing Cr" and ions, snprisingly shows a large 

pre-edge feature, clearly indicating that Cr in this film exists almost exclusively as 

Cr+G (curve [I). \\le have performed a systematic stutly of such films to iintIerstaritI 

the effect of oxygen by using deaerated solutions as well as by exposing these films 

to air antl measuring them ex-situ. Detailed results will be reported in fiitiire. 

These investigations are of interest in various fields siicli as electroclirornic devices,

NEXAFS Studies of Ru in the Ternary Skudderudite Ru0.5Pd0.5Sb3 I X23A2 I 

V.G. Harris (NRL), G.S. Nolas (Marlow Industries), G.A. Slack (RPI), and T.M. 

Tritt (Clemson U.) 

When the atomic species under consideration exists in a multiple of valence states, 

the near-edge region of the absorption spectrum will be a superposition of the 

multiple absorption transitions. In order to measure multiple valence states in a sample of unknown valence one typically makes use of empirical standards of 

known valence. In the case of the ternary skutterrudite, Ru0.5Pd0.5Sb3, standards 

of RuSb2 and RuTe2 were employed. These standards where selected because the 

Ru ions are 4+ and 2+, in RuSbz and RuTe2, respectively. These prove valuable in 

'fingerprinting' the Ru4+ and Ru2+ valence states in the ternary skutterudite. The 

first peak in the derivative spectrum corresponds to the inflection point occurring 

at approximately 50% of the absorption edge step, and is used here to identify 

the onset of absorption, Eo. This peak is fit using a Gaussian curve to accurately measure Eo and the half-width at half-maximum (HWHM). Figure 1 is a plot of the 

isolated first peak data of the derivative versus photon energy for the skutterudite 

and the two standards. The best fit curves are presented as solid lines and the raw data as symbols. 

To accurately measure the relative fraction of the Ru ions we fit the skutterudite 

data with the best fit Gaussian curves of the standards where the only adjustable 

parameters are the amplitude of the standards' curve?. The relative fraction of 

the valence states is then given by the ratio of the best fit amplitudes. Using this 

method we calculate the valence of the Ru in the skutterudite to be 3.1+, or if one 

were to assume that Ru exists only as 4+ and 2+, 52% of the Ru would be 4+ and 

48% is 2-t.

XAS Studies of Preferential Site Distribution of Ta and Pt in CoCr- X23A2,

K. M. Kemner (ANL), V. G. Harris, W. T. Elam (NRL), Y. C. Feng, D. E. Laughlin 

(CMU), J. C. Woicik (NIST), and J. C. Lodder (Mesa Research Institute) 

CoCr-based alloy films are presently the mainstay mangetic recording media. 

Numerous studies have shown that these films can be grown in ways to produce a 

compositional inhomogeneous microstructure having Co- and Cr-enriched regions. 

The addition of Ta, Pt to these media play an important role in determining the 

magnetic properties and recording characteristics of the films. In order to better 

understand the beneficial roles of their addition, we have made XAS measurements on a variety of CoCrX (X=Ta or Pt) films deposited at ambient and 260 C substrate 

temperatures. Analysis of the Ta and Pt data indicates that no phase separation 

of the Pt or Ta atoms into clusters has taken place. Further analysis shows that for an increase in substrate deposition temperature, the average coordination number 

decreases by 0.6 Co/Cr atoms. Figure 2 shows that, with the addition of Ta and 

Pt, the Fourier peak amplitudes of the Co EXAFS data decrease relative to that of 

the data for a pure CoCr film. The greater reduction in amplitude of the Fourier 

peaks when Pt is added than when Ta is added indicates that the Co environment 

is more disordered by the addition of Pt than by the addition of Ta, suggesting a 

preferential site distribution of the Pt atoms to the Co atoms. "KMK was supported

and D.K. Wickenden (Johns Hopkins) 

The 111-V nitrides have generated interest as materials for blue and ultraviolet 

light emitters. Wurzite GaN, the most studied member of this group, has a direct 

band gap of 3.4 eV, while the AlGaN psuedo- binary alloys provide direct gaps up 

to 6.2 eV. Though the nitrides are very promising, film structure and quality remain 

critical issues. We studied the accommodation of the natural Ga-N and AI-N bond 

lengths in the AlGaN alloys system. 

Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) at the Ga-K edge was used 

to studv the local structure of AlGaN films grown by metal organic chemical vapor 

deposition. [l] The x-ray beam was incident at 45 degrees to-the sample nor1nal. 

Absorption was measured via fluorescence yield, which was detected with a PIN 

diode covered by a Zn filter. These yield spectra were normalized by an IO signal 

measured with a N2-filled ion chamber. 

\\'e found that with increasing aluminum content, x. the Ga-N bond length decreases, but much less than the average bond length. This is similar to the effect 

seen in zincblentle AlGaAs alloys.[2] On the other Iiand, the x dependence of Ga-Ga 

and Ga-AI distances does follow the variation of ttie average cation-cation distance. 

We conclude that bond angle distortions accorrirriodate the differences between the 

natural Ga-N arid AI-N bo;itl lengths.

The Li/CPE/FeSz battery (CPE = composite polymer electrolyte) is a promising 

candidate for energy storage and electric vehicle applications. Its projected specific 

energy is over 170 Wh/kg (based on 2.5 e/FeSz), and a recent small laboratory cell 

demonstrated over 300 full charge-discharge cycles. Using in situ x-ray absorption 

methods we have investigated the behavior of thin Li/CPE/FeSZ cells at various 

stages of charge and discharge cycles. Cells were examined under the following 

conditions: (i) charged to 1.85 V and x = 0.5, where x represents the number of 

electrons associated with that particular charge state; (ii) charged to 2.05 V and x 

= 1.7; (iii) charged to 2.25 V and x = 2.0; (iv) discharged to 1.65 V and x = 1.4; 

(v) discharged to 1.25 V and x = 0.15, and (vi) discharged to 1.1 V and x = 0.0. 

Regardless of whether the cell is being charged or discharged, there appear to be only 

two distinct Fe host environments, a "low-Li" one for conditions (ii), (iii) and (iv) 

and a dramatically different "high-Li" one for conditions (i), (v) and (vi). At high 

Li (cathode) concentration a strong pre-edge feature is apparent, which decreases at 

low Li concentration, as shown in Fig. 1.. This pre-edge feature is dipole-forbidden 

in octahedral symmetry, and its decrease therefore indicates that the symmetry 

decreases as Li is removed from the cathode. The EXAFS similarly falls into two 

distinct categories (Fig. 2). At high Li concentration the Fe environment is ordered, 

and analysis reveals a combination of metallic Fe and residual unreacted FeSz. On 

the other hand, at low Li disorder sets in and only a single broad peak is observed, 

analysis of which indicates a combination of FeSz and LizFeSz. Structural and 

chemical changes in the Fe environment appear to be highly reversible.

The Relationship Between hlicrostructure Development in Hydrating Cement and the Morphology of Silica Fume Additives

Supplementary cementitious materials like silica fume. which are added to the cement mix and react with calcium ions in the pore solution. enhance the production of 

calcium-silicate-hydrate gel and modify the microstrncture in other ways. By combining ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) experiments on silica fume slurry 

suspensions with small-angle nentron scattering (SANS) experiments on hydrating 

cement systems, the effects on the microstructural development during cement hydration of adding silica fume have been studied. The USAXS measurements on the

X23A3 Exploring the Performance Limits of a Bonse-Hart DoubleCrystal

Experiments have been conducted to optimize and enhance the resolution. the

x-ray scattering (USAXS) camera. By combining our existing USAXS monolith. 

the X23A3 monochromating optics. and a new monolith, specifically designed for 

the use of 100-mm-long crystals, it has been possible to increase the number of 

crystal reflections to 6 reflections before and 4 reflections after the sample. Each 

crystal has been surface-etched to eliminate Porotl small-angle scattering effects 

arising from strained regions near the crystal surfaces. The gap between the pair of 

Ge( 11 1) crystals on each monolith has been reduced to minimize the through-pnt 

of parasitically-scattered x-rays. The beam-tlefining slits and ion chaniher for the

Carbon black is a common polymer additive that is used for purposes of reinforcement and for enhancing materials properties such as conductivity. This research 

pertains to a small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) study of a conductive grade of 

carbon black and carbon black/polymer composites. The SAXS from such materials displays a surface-fractal-like power-law decay over many decades of scattering 

vector, q. While SAXS by carbon blacks can be described in terms of surface-fractal 

models related to particles with fractally-rough surfaces, the existence of such selfsimilar surface roughness is not supported by electron microscopy data. It is instead 

proposed by the present investigators that the scattering represents a more complicated morphology including overlapping structural features and a power-law scaling 

of polydispersity. We have shown that power-law polydispersity in aggregate size can account for the observed scattering. Moreover, it has been possible to calculate a reasonable heterogeneity index for the aggregates using a power-law polydispersity 

model. The SAXS from carbon black in an amorphous polymer matrix was used 

to estimate the primary particle size and other nano-sized structural features of the 

carbon black, as well as to support a model based on changes in large-scale agglomeration and on aggregate breakup at higher concentrations. When x-ray diffraction 

data were combined with the SAXS data, it was also possible to identify a scaling 

regime associated with graphitic layers in the primary particles. Differences in scattering between low and high concentrations of carbon black in polyethylene support a model based on large aggregate breakup and an associated linear agglomeration of 

aggregates in high concentration carbon black samples. The latter may be critical 

to understanding conductivity switching in these composites. 

Since one application of conductive carbon black composites with polyethylene is 

in circuit protection devices, where resistive heating leads to a reversible association 

of carbon black aggregates that controls switching between a conductive and a non- conductive state, these scattering results are very useful as an in situ tool to observe 

the morphological signature of this reversible structural change.

USAXS Determination of the Degree of Consolidation of Resin Particles in UHMWPE Components X23A3 

A. Bellare and M. Spector (Harvard U.) 

Consolidation of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) resin 

powder particles during processing of UHMWPE components has been a concern in the manufacture of total-joint-replacement prostheses. While UHMWPE resin is 

beneficial for wear performance in total-joint-replacement prostheses, processing of 

the resin is difficult since resin particles do not flow, even at temperatures above 

the melting point of polyethylene crystallites. High pressures and elevated temperatures are required during ram extrusion and compression molding processes to 

consolidate UHMWPE resin particles. Recently, it has been shown that wear debris retrieved from tissues in cases of failed total hip arthroplasty resemble the size 

and shape of original resin particles, suggesting that poor consolidation of resin can contribute to wear. It is therefore essential to optimize processing parameters for 

each type of UHMWPE resin to obtain a high level of consolidation. 

In this study, ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) at X23A3 has been used 

to compare the degree of consolidation of UHMWPE components of various resins. 

We hypothesize that a lower degree of consolidation leads to a larger number of 

voids in components. Since voids are usually larger than crystallites of UHMWPE, 

their presence would lead to scattering at smaller angles. (The only exception is 

Hylamer in which there are crystallites of sizes comparable to those of voids.) 

Fig. 1 shows USAXS data from components that were molded for 5, 10 and 

15 minutes. The decrease in scattering with increase in molding times is a direct consequence of lower number of voids and a greater degree of consolidation. 

Visual inspection revealed the presence of voids in the 5 and 10 minute molded 

samples, but no significant voids in the 15 minute molded sample. These results 

show a correlation between USAXS intensity and the number of voids associated 

with concolidation. In another part of this study, USAXS results from different 

resins were compared, and a wide variation in the amount of void scattering was observed. For example, it was learned that the 2-million-molecular-weight resins 

have a lower number of voids, indicating a higher degree of consolidation, compared 

to the 5-million-molecular-weight resins.

Accelerated Aging of Gamma-Radiation-Sterilized Hylamer Acetabular Components 

A. Bellare and D.C. Sun (Harvard U.) 

Post gamma sterilization aging of UHhIWPE components of total joint replacement prostheses has received considerable attention in recent years due to evidence 

of embrittlement with age. Several accelerated aging protocols have been developed and compared to real time shelf-life aging of UHhIWPE. These protocols are useful in the development of new methods of sterilization that aim to prevent 

embrittlement of UHLIWPE with in-vivo age. In this study, we have utilized a 

previously-developed accelerated-aging protocol to investigate post gamma sterilization (in air) aging of a Hylamer acetabular component. Ultra-small-angle x-ray 

scattering (USAXS) at X23A3. FTIR, antl DSC were used to characterize the degree 

of oxidation antl the accompanying changes in microstructure. 

USAXS measurements were performed on the X23A3 beamline at the National 

Synchrotron Light source. Sampling volumes were 1 mm by 3 mm by 1 mm. Scattering from voids was eliminated by subtracting the scattering curves obtained 

from melted samples (T = 190OC). The USAXS data measured from as-received 

antl froni aged Hylamer revealed the presence of two peaks, one at ultra-low angles (attributed to the presence of large crystallites formed at high pressure) and 

a broad peak (attributed to crystallites that are similar in size to coriventional 

UHhIi\.\.'PE crystallites. The existence of a bimodal distribution of crystallites is 

siipportetl by previous DSC observations. The spacing between high-pressure crystallites (approximately 250 nni) did not change with accelerated aging. However, 

there was a discernable rhange iri the spacing between the crystallites of smaller 

dimensions. The inter-crystallite spacing changed from 34.5 nm down to 21 nm 

(d11.S rim). These results, together with previoiisly-obscrvctl changes in intercrystallite spacing in conventions1 UHhIiVPE, indicates that recrystallization indiicetl 

by ganirtia-sterilization (in air) aging occiirs by the same rriectiariism in both types 

of microstructiires. However, clue to a much higher degree of crystallinity in aged 

Hylamer, compared to aged coriventional UtIhIIVPE, oxidative aging could be of 

greater concern in Hylamer from the standpoint of cmhrittlement antl wear. 

Grazing-Incidence X-ray-Diffraction Topography 

D. R. Black (NIST) 

I X23A3 I X23A3 

The basic principle of x-ray diffraction topography involves two-dimensional 

imaging of the x-ray diffracted intensity from a selected set of crystal planes in 

the sample. The sample diffracts the x-rays in either the reflection geometry to 

emphasize information on the microstructure near the surface, or in the transmission geometry to emphasize the microstructure of the bulk. Very small variations 

in the crystalline lattice spacing, Ad, or very small changes in the local crystallographic orientation. AO, change the diffraction condition and thus the diffracted 

intensity. Changes in local orientation and the local lattice spacing are the result of 

crystallographic defects such as dislocations, stacking faults, inclusions, voids. and 

inhomogeneous strain. Although the best spatial resolution available with x-ray 

topography is just under a pm, much smaller defects can be detected if there is a 

strain field around the defect. 

As an example. x-ray topographs from single-crystal sapphire typically shorn longrange inhomogeneous strains or lattice curvature. subgrains, antl residual polishing 

damage. Although siich scratches may not be visible optically, they are often visible 

in the x-ray iniagc if, even after the scratch itself was removed, thr lattice below the 

scratch was tlistiirbetl arid that damage remains. To further improve the sensitivity 

to surface microstructures. grazing-incidence topography has been used on X23A3. 

In this mode. a sc,t of diffracting planes, not parallel to the surface. are chosen 

to diffract. By a(1,jiistirig ttie energy of the incitlerit x-ray beam, one can choose 

a diffraction angle near the angle for total external reflection of the x-rays. IVhen 

this occiirs, there are no beams entering the sample, only an exI'onentially-clecaying 

evanescent wave. This condition changrs the surface sensitivity of x-ray imaging 

from tens of pm to tens of nm. In Fig. I, when the incident rncrgy of ttie x-ray 

beam was chaugetl by 100 eV, the incident angle cha~igetl by 0.25", antl a much 

greater sensitivity to surface microstriictiire of this sapphire crystal was achieved. 

This microstriictiire is directly attributable to the fabrication niethotls.

I X23A3 I Small-angle X-ray Scattering Study of the Formation of Colloidal 

Silica Particles From Alkoxides: Primary Particles or Not? X23A3 The Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide and Sterilization on the Structure 

of Ultra-Hiah-Molecular-Weinht Polvethvlene * 

H. Boukari (U. Maryland & NIST), M. T. Harris (U. Maryland) & J. S. Lin (ORNL) 

The formation of colloidal silica particles from tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS) in 

several alcoholic solvents under base-catalyzed conditions was investigated by means 

of X-ray scattering, SAXS rll and USAXS. For low concentrations of water, one can 

follow the dynamics of formation and growth by measuring the scattered intensity 

profiles at various times following the initiation of hydrolysis and condensation 

process. The high-q data are analyzed within the concept of fractal geometry and 

the time-dependent fractal dimension is determined from the power-law region. 

Furthermore, changes in the radius of gyration are determined from the Guinier 

low-q regime. Remarkably, we find that, after an induction period, the first particles 

to appear in the solution are mass-fractals characterized by their polymeric, lowdensity structure. This stage is followed by an intra-particle densification process 

and smoothing of the interface leading to the usual compact non-fractal, stable 

structures. Interestingly, under the same conditions, the initial particles are sizable 

(radius of gyration is greater than 5 nm) and the initial size depends strongly on the solvent. We are studying these results in light of results predicted by current 

growth models that have been proposed.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is an important material 

for total joint replacement surgeries, and, as such, must be sterilized before placement into the body. It must also perform well as a function of time, or else revision 

surgeries will be needed. In this research, the effects of hydrogen-peroxide aging 

and gamma-irradiation sterilization on the structure and morphology of medicalgrade UHMWPE were studied. The microstructural changes that were induced 

via sterilization and accelerated by aging were observed by means of small-angle 

x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements on X23A3. Differential-scanning calorimetry, density gradient column measurements, and transmission electron microscopy 

were also used to characterize the structure. Based on the results, a mechanism for 

the oxidation of UHMWPE was proposed in which oxygen is incorporated into the 

amorphous phase of the polymer, leading to strains and breaking of tie molecules, 

which in turn leads to embrittlement and microcracking within the microstructure. 

The SAXS data for four samples aged 11 months are shown in Fig. 1. An interference peak near scattering vector h = 0.0125 k1 can be seen. This interference 

peak is associated with the long period in the UHMWPE structure, which is of the 

order of 515 A. The sandwich size is the smallest in the untreated sample (n-air) 

and greatest in the hydrogen-peroxide-aged and gamma-irradiated sample (g-hp). 

Enhanced scattering at low-h, which is seen in the scattering from some of the 

samples, is interpreted as Porod scattering from microcracks. Taken together, the 

lamellar microstructure is best-defined (least tortuous) in the unsterilized sample 

aged in air (n-air), and this sample shows no evidence of microcracking. The lamellar microstructure is the least well-defined (most tortuous) in the gamma-irradiated 

sample aged in hydrogen peroxide (g-hp), and this sample shows the most microcracking. This is the first time that microcracking has been observed directly in these 

samples, and the results are consistent with mechanical properties measurements.

Ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering measurements on single crystal 41, deformed 

in situ, were carried out. Stress-strain data mere accumulated simultaneously with 

the x-ray scattering data to follow the evolution of dislocation structures from 0% 

strain to 18% strain. Using long-wavelength x-rays, it was possible to follow the development of dislocation structures while avoiding accidental Bragg diffraction. The 

USAXS results can be understood in terms of scattering by the edge components 

of the dislocations antl of scattering by the dislocation walls in "carpet structures." 

The scattered intensity is a strong function of the orientation of the scattering vector relative to the configuration of the dislocations, At low strains. it was fourrd 

that the amoiirit of scattering from the dislocation structures was roughly constant. 

At higher strains. the scattered intensity iricreased tlramatically. Interestingly, this 

apparent change in the tlislocatioii configuration does not corrcsporitl to an>- feature 

in the measured stress-strain curve. Those results are ciirrently being interpreted 

using a newly-developed theory of small-angle scattering by tlislocatiori structures. 

111 a companion x-ray topography experiment, also carried ollt on X23A3, the 

carpet striictiires were imaged, arid small rotations across dislocation walls were 

ohscrvctl arid mcasiirrd. Surprisingly, the growri-in dislocations and the carpet tlislocations wrrc sometimes observed to have no measurable infliicnce on one another.

X23A3 Use of Ultra-Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering to Measure Grain Size 

of Styrene-Butadiene Block Copolymers 

R. T. Myers. R. E. Cohen (LIIT) and A. Bellare (Harvard U.) 

It is well-known that appropriate processing techniques can produce essentially 

perfectly ordered block coploymer morphologies with a single texture extending 

throughout the macroscopic dimensions of a specimen. The characteristic rcpeating length scale, d. of these morphologies is dictated by the molecular weights of 

the constituent block sequences and is on the order of 100 A. In the absence of 

extraordinary processing procedures, a second important length scale appears in 

the block copolymer. The perfection of the morphology is broken up into grains, 

each of which contains the ordered morphology of length scale tl but with essentially raritloiii orientation relative to the specimen boundaries. These large grains 

typically exhibit a characteristic size. D, which is one or more orders of rnagriitiitle

X23A3 Particle Sizes and Size Distributions in Additives to Polymeric Systems 

K. C. Sheth and Y. Gao (GE R&D) 

The goal of these experiments is to develop techniques to determine average 

particle sizes and size distributions of additives (such as impact modifiers and flame 

retardants) in polymeric systems. The USAXS facility at X23A3 has been used to 

probe particle sizes up to approximately one micrometer in size. Hence this facility 

fills the gap between conventional SAXS (for the smallest sizes) and light scattering 

(for the largest sizes). 

The conventional approach to particle size analysis is transmission electron microscopy (TEM), but TEM samples only a limited area and it is difficult to obtain 

a statistically-significant sampling. USAXS, on the other hand, provides a rapid, 

non-destructive, robust technique for obtaining the required information. We have 

been studying a variety of polymeric systems, containing a variety of additives. 

In particular, we have examined isotropic, spherical additives (rubber additives as 

impact modifiers) and anisotropic additives (such as globular or fibrilar particles). 

TEM data is available on these systems. The results from the analysis of the USAXS data for spherical particles are in excellent agreement with the TEM data. 

For example, for a rubber particle dispersion in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, the 

average particle size is 848 nm, which is in good agreement with the corresponding 

TEM result of about 800 nm. (TEM is expected to yield smaller numbers than the 

actual size because there is two-dimensional averaging resulting from the slicing of 

spheres.) The particle size distribution derived from the USAXS data also correlates well with the TEM results. An analysis of the USAXS from the anisotropic 

particles is currently in progress.

I X23B I Sample-angle Feedback For Improved Reproducibility in Diffraction 

Anomalous Fine-structure (DAFS) Spectra 

J. 0. Cross, W. T. Elam, V. G. Harris (NRL), J. P. Kirklans (SFA), C. E. Bouldin 

(NIST) and L. B. Sorensen (U.W.) 

Diffraction anomalous fine-structure (DAFS) experiments measure integrated 

Bragg peak intensities as continuous functions of energy in the vicinity of absorp 

tion edges.[l] Often, the peak intensity of the 8 rocking-curve is proportional to 

the integrated intensity over the energy range of the fine-structure (typically 1000 

eV), and it is sufficient to track the Bragg peak as the incident energy is scanned. 

This "peak-tracking" mode of collecting DAFS data significantly reduces the time 

required for a complete spectrum, however, while the Bragg angle as a function 

of energy can be calciilated easily and given as a command to the diffractometer 

controller, any systematic error in addressing the goniometer or monochromator 

motors will result in distorted spectra. One way to insure acciirate tracking of the 

peak is by introducing a small rcfcrence oscillation on the sample angle. protliicing a 

corresponding fluctuation in intensity at the detector that can be fed to the input of 

a lock-in amplifier. i\ piczoelcctric actuator-driven sample stage has been designed 

anti tcsterl as part of a sample-angle feedback circuit for locking 011 to the maximum of thc, rocking curve as the incident photon energy is scanned tliiring DAFS

I X23B I EXAFS Study of the Local Structure Around Mn in Annealed 

ZnS:Mn Nanocrystals 

J. 0. Cross, W. T. Elam, D. Hsu, H. F. Gray, J. Yang, M. Smith and B. R. Ratna 

The quantum yield of Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals grown in the bicontinuous 

cubic phase (BCP) of a surfactant and water system [l] has been shown to depend 

on Mn concentration. These crystallites are highly monodisperse, and in the 35A 

diameter nanocrystals, a peak in the quantum yield occurs at 0.7 mole percent, or approximately one Mn atoms per particle. Recently, an additional increase in the 

quantum yield has been shown to follow a structural change induced by annealing 

the nanocrystals. We have used extended x-ray absorption fine tructure (EXAFS) 

to study changes in the local environment of the Mn luminescent centers caused by 

annealing. 

The R-space transforms of background subtracted fluorescence EXAFS data from 

three ZnS:Mn phosphor powders are shown in Figure 1. Background subtraction 

and R-space fits were performed using AUTOBK and FEFFIT [2], with theoretical 

x calculated by FEFF7.[3] The Mn-S distance of 2.409(7)A determined for the 

as-grown nanocrystals is approximately 0.03A shorter than the Mn-S distance of 

2.443(6)A determined for the bulk standard, consistent with a previous EXAFS 

study of 30-35A ZnS:Mn grown by precipitation [4]. In the BCP grown samples, 

however, the amplitude of the Mn-S nearest neighbor shell of the nanocrystals, 

relative to that of the bulk, is lower than that reported in [4], and the second peak 

due to the Zn and S next neighbors is absent in the as-grown nanocrystals. The 

absence of the second peak could be due to disorder in the next neighbor shells, 

or to the Mn impurities migrating to the surface of the crystallites during growth. 

X-ray diffraction measurements of BCP grown samples prior to annealing suggest 

that for particles of ca. 30A and smaller, the cubic (zinc-blende) lattice distorts 

tegragonally [5], consistent with disorder in the Zn and S next neighbor distances. 

After annealing, the EXAFS first shell amplitude remains nearly unchanged and 

the second peak re-appears. In addition, annealing causes an increase in the first 

neighbor Mn-S distance to 2.436(8)A, close to that of the bulk.

DAFS Study of the Interfaces of an Fe/Si Multilayer 

J.O. Cross, V.G. Harris, W.T.Elam (NRL) and M. Newville (U. Chicago) 

Fe/Si multilayers are interesting for their magnetic properties, saturation magnetism (M) and anistropy field (Hk), and as x-ray optical components for magnetic 

circular dichroism. The boundary between the Fe and Si layers has an intermixing 

region which which can be disordered, or form an iron silicide. The presence of the 

crystalline silicide affects the magnetic properties of the multilayers and is therefore 

of technological interest, however, determining the thickness and structure of the 

crystalline spacer has so far been unanswerable using diffraction or XAFS. [l] 

While XAFS can, in principle, be used to determine the number and distances of 

Si near neighbors, as well as the presence of order in the Fe and Si next neighbors 

around the Fe centers, the thickness of the silicide layers are on the order of 10% of 

the Fe layers, so that XAFS from the interface is lost in the signal from the rest of the 

film. DAFS gives the same kind of local structural information as XAFS, but also uses the long-range order of the material to select the fine-structure from a subset of 

the resonant atoms.[2] Since the intensities of the multilayer peaks are proportional 

to the Fourier components of the electron density normal to the interfaces, the 

DAFS on each peak samples a different subset of the Fe atoms. Figure 1 shows the 

reflectivity of (Fe 4OA/Si 14A)x25 multilayer and Figure 2 shows the Fe K-shell 

DAFS measured on the (OOl), (002) and (003) multilayer Bragg peaks of the same 

sample. Small difference observed in the extended DAFS confirm the presence of 

at least two different local environments for the resonant Fe atoms. Since the x-ray 

polarization is confined to x-y plane in these reflectivity measurements, the DAFS 

is sensitive to the in-plane bond lengths around the Fe sites. The DAFS will be 

analyzed by solving for the anomalous scattering amplitudes f' and f" and then 

combining the x" fine-structure from these three reflections and the XAFS subject 

to a model that is consistent with the reflectivity to isolate the signal from Fe sites 

at different positions in the bilayer. [3]

The ability to differentiate chemical species using x-ray absorption near-edge 

spectroscopy (XANES) has been demonstrated previously. [l] however. most existing 

methods reqnire separate measurements of the spectra from model compounds to 

identify a signature for each species. 1Iore recently. soft chemical analysis methods. 

such as principal components analysis (PCA) antl chernornetric modeling or partial 

least- squares regression (PLS). have been applied to determine the nnmbcr of

EXAFS Measurements of Non-Superconducting PrBa2Cuz06.9: Evidence against Ba Site Pr Substitution 

Magnet to Volume Effects in R2Fel7-,Al,N, (R=Er,Pr) Compounds Studied via EXAFS 

V. G. Harris, D.J. Fatemi, V. M. Browning, M. S. Osofsky, (Naval Research Laboratory), and T. A. Vanderah (National Institute of Standards and Technology) 

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements on non- superconducting PrBazCus 06.9 are reported. The EXAFS analysis reported here 

involves the least-squares fitting of the phase and amplitude of experimental k-space 

data using a linear combination of simulated Pr(Y)-site and Pr(Ba)-site LII EXAFS 

data. The simulated Y- and Ba-site Pr Lrr EXAFS data were generated using the 

multiple-scattering ab initio FEFF 6 codes of Rehr et al., where the FEFF input 

files were generated using ATOM 4.2 codes of Ravel. The calculated best fit data 

contains 0% Pr on the Ba-site. Because the Pr(Ba)-site LII FEFF is nearlyn/2 out 

of phase over a wide range of low-k values with respect to the Pr(Y)-site LII FEFF 

the results of the fitting analysis are unambiguous, with the results establishing that 

only dilute (i.e.< 1%) amounts of Pr can occupy the Ba sites in this compound. It 

is noteworthy that the substitution of even dilute amounts of Pr on the Ba-site lead 

to a significant deterioration of the goodness of fit, as judged numerically by the 

X2-fitting parameter and by visual inspection. This is illustrated in Fig. 1 where 

one sees the appearance of new fine structure peaks at k= 5.15k1 and 8.05A-l 

that do not correspond with the experimental data. This occurs when just 1% of 

Pr is allowed to occupy Ba sites. A second approach to the fitting analysis involved 

relaxing the phase constraint. This allows an additional degree of freedom to the 

fit and would presumably allow a larger fraction of Pr to reside on the Ba-site. In 

physical terms this is analogous to allowing local dilation or contraction of the local 

environment by the substitution of the Pr ion on the Ba-site, as might be expected 

based on the mismatch in atomic radii between Ba and Pr. The best fit obtained in 

this fitting approach also had 0% Pr on the Ba-site. These results present a serious 

challenge to models which rely on Ba-site Pr substitution as an explanation for the 

lack of superconductivity in PrBazCu307--6. 

V.G. Harris, D.J. Fatemi, (Naval Research Laboratory), K.G. Suresh, and K.V.S. 

Rama Rao, (India Institute of Technology) 

Extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements of the Fe K, and Pr and 

Er LIII absorption edges, were carried out to elucidate the relationship between 

the local structure and magnetism in A1 substituted, nitrogenated (Er0.5Pr0.5)2Fe17 

permanent magnets. Figure 1 is a plot of the FT Fe EXAFS collected from the Alsubstituted and nitrided samples, together with data from the parent compound. 

The inset panel depicts a plot of the average Fe-Fe/Al bond distance (<r> Fe-Fe/~l) 

and the average Fe-Fe/Al Debye Waller Coefficient (<DwC> F~-F~/A~) calculated 

for the atoms contributing to the NN peak as a function of x. Because the NN 

peak of Fe is dominated by other Fe and A1 atoms that are distributed on 4 inequivalent sites (i.e. 6c, 9d, 18f, 18h) the environment is described as an average 

Fe-Fe/Al bond. This simplification reduces the number of adjustable parameters in 

our fitting analysis from as many as 12 to no more than 3. Upon nitrogenation the 

<r> Fe-Fe/Al increases 0.86% from that of the parent compound. This result is a 

direct measurement of the dilation of the Fe coordination sphere and reflects a positive magnetovolume response of the Fe sublattice due to nitrogenation. With the 

substitution of A1 we observe that <r> F~-F~/A~ decreases abruptly (rel. -0.6%), 

plateaus, and then continues its decrease. Although, others have reported a positive 

magnetovolume response to the substitution of A1 (x<4) (sans N), we observe in the 

presence of N that the A1 acts to reduce the Fe coordination sphere. This negative 

magnetovolume effect is consistent with the ME results of Suresh and Rama Rao 

who found that the Tc and the hyperfine fields of all Fe sites reduce with increased 

A1 content. The <DWC> Fe-+/Al increases with increased A1 content for O<x2, 

and experiences a relative decrease for x=3. The Fe-A1 correlation is measured to 

experience an abrupt decrease of its NN bond for x=3. Taken together, these data 

and other indicate a preferental redistribution of A1 atoms to the 6c site for x,3.

CoCr-based alloy films are presently the mainstay mangetic recording media. 

Numerous studies have shown that these films can be grown in ways to produce a 

compositional inhomogeneous microstructure having Cc- and Cr-enriched regions. 

The addition of Ta. Pt to these media play an important role in determining the 

magnetic properties antl recording characteristics of the films. In order to better 

understand the beneficial roles of their addition, we have made SAS measurements on a variety of CoCrX (X=Ta or Pt) films deposited at ambient and 260 C substrate 

temperatures. Analysis of the Ta and Pt data indicates that no phase separation 

of the Pt or Ta atoms into clusters has taken place. Further analysis shows that for 

an increase in substrate deposition temperature, the average coordination number 

decreases by 0.6 Co/Cr atoms. Figure 2 shows that, with the addition of Ta and 

Pt, the Fourier peak amplitudes of the Co EXAFS data decrease relative to that of 

the data for a pure CoCr film. The greater reduction in amplitude of the Fourier 

peaks when Pt is added than when Ta is added indicates that the Co environment 

is more disordered by the addition of Pt than by the addition of Ta, suggesting a 

preferential site distribution of the Pt atoms to the Co atoms. 'KMK was supported

The Li/CPE/FeSZ battery (CPE = composite polymer electrolyte) is a promising 

candidate for energy storage and electric vehicle applications. Its projected specific 

energy is over 170 Wh/kg (based on 2.5 e/FeSz), and a recent small laboratory cell 

demonstrated over 300 full charge-discharge cycles. Using in situ x-ray absorption 

methods we have investigated the behavior of thin Li/CPE/FeSZ cells at various 

stages of charge and discharge cycles. Cells mere examined under the following 

conditions: (i) charged to 1.85 V and x = 0.5, where x represents the number of 

electrons associated with that particular charge state; (ii) charged to 2.05 V and x 

= 1.7; (iii) charged to 2.25 V and x = 2.0: (iv) discharged to 1.65 V and x = 1.4: 

(v) discharged to 1.25 V and x = 0.15, antl (vi) discharged to 1.1 V arid x = 0.0. 

Regardless of whether the cell is being charged or discharged, there appear to be only 

two distinct Fe host environments, a "low-Li" one for conditions (ii), (iii) and (iv) 

and a dramatically different "high-Li" one for conditions (i). (v) and (vi). At high 

Li (cathode) concentration a strong pre-edge feature is apparent, mliich decreases at 

loiv Li concentration, as shown in Fig. 1.. This pre-edge feature is dipole-forbidden 

in octahedral symmetry. and its decrease therefore indicates that the symmetry 

decreascs as Li is removed from the cathode. The EXAFS similarly falls into two 

distinct categories (Fig. 2). At high Li concentration the Fe envirorirrierit is ordered. 

and analysis reveals a combination of metallic Fe antl residiial unreacted FeSz. On 

the other hand, at low Li disorder scts in arid only a single broad peak is observed, 

analysis of which iritlicates a combination of FeS2 antl LizFeSz. Structural arid 

chcniical changes in the Fe environment appear to be highly reversible.

I X-ray Standing Wave Determination of Quantum Well Perfection I X24A I 

J.A. Gupta, E.D. Crozier, S.P. Watkins (SFU) J.C. Woicik, J.G. Pellegrino (NIST), 

and K.E. Miyano (Brooklyn College) 

We have used the x-ray standing-wave technique combined with high-resolution 

x-ray diffraction to determine the quantum-well perfection in monolayer InAs quantum wells grown on GaAs(001). Preliminary analysis from wells grown at 430, 480, 

530, and 580 degrees C find the most organized monolayer to be produced at 480 

degree C preceeded by a linear ramp from the 580 degree C buffer layer growth 

temperature. Apparently, In is desorbed from the growth surface at the higher 

temperatures, as determined from the ratio of the In versus GaAs fluorescence with 

the remaining In diffused into the cap. The 430 degree C growth results in a roughened buffer-layer/quantum-well interface.

1 Grazing Incidence X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy of SiOz/Si I X24A I 

Terrence Jach and J. Gormley (NIST) 

XPS spectra were obtained with collimated incident radiation over a range of 

angles in the vicinity of the critical angle for total reflection. In addition to the 

general decrease in the penetration depth which accompanies incidence below the 

critical angle, the different optical constants of overlayers result in different critical 

angles. The x-ray fields in each layer change in a non- linear way at each angle 

and contribute in varying amounts to the photoemission. This allows for fitting the 

thickness and density of oxide overlayers on Si in a range of 1-lOnm. By performing 

the measurement on X-24A, using an InSb(lll)/KDP(lll) crystal pair, we have 

increased the yield by a factor of 100 over what was previously obtained from 

conventional x-ray sources. We operated in the vicinity of the Si K-edge (1839 

eV). We were able to obtain spectra above and below the edge. This allowed us to 

change the optical constants and observe the resulting effects in photoemission line 

intensities. 

I Argon Photoion Charge State Distributions 

L. Pibida, R. Wehlitz, J. Levin, and I. Sellin (U. Tennessee at Knoxville) 

Using the single-bunch mode of the X-ray ring, we have measured the photoion 

charge state fractions after photoionization of argon atoms. The experimental setup 

consist of an ion time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer, mounted on a XYZ translator 

together with a hypodermic needle that allow us to align it with respect to the 

photon beam. The TOF spectrometer was mounted perpendicular to both the 

photon beam and the electric vector of the monochromatized synchrotron radiation 

direction. When an Ar atom is photoionized (hv N 3206.3eV) a cascade decay 

process can occur leaving the Ar ion in different charge states depending on the 

decay path that occur. The photoion charge state distributions depend on several 

experimental parameters as the voltage across the microchannel plate detector, the 

pressure in the experimental chamber, and the threshold of the constant fraction 

descrimintor used to process the signals. These measurements require a careful 

control of these parameters. After the optimum experimental parameters were determined we measured the photoion charge state fractions as a function of the 

photon energy. From where we estimated the fluorescence yield to be 0.115 f 0.02 

and the Auger yield 0.885&0.02. Several measurements of the photoion charge state 

distributions near the K-edge are available. From these measurements we saw that 

the value of charge state fractions are sensitive to the variation of the experimental 

parameters chosen.

Characterization of Multilayer Coated Gratings and Mirrors 

J. F. Seely, M. P. Kowalski, J. C. Rife, W. R. Hunter, and R. G. Cruddace (Naval 

Research Laboratory) 

Diffraction gratings and mirrors with multilayer coatings are characterized in the 

soft x-ray and extreme ultraviolet regions. The multilayer coatings are designed to 

have high reflectance at wavelengths and angles of incidence that are important for 

the study of laboratory, solar, and astrophysical plasma emissions. The efficiencies 

of the multilayer coated gratings, and the reflectances of the mirrors with similar 

coatings, are measured as functions of the angle of incidence and the wavelength 

of the incident light. The measured reflectance is compared to model calculations 

that account for the layer thicknesses, interfacial roughness, interdiffusion layer 

thicknesses, and the optical constants of the layer materials. The gratings have 

blazed or laminar groove profiles and are fabricated by the holographic ion-beam 

etched process. The multilayer coating is matched to the groove profile so that the 

coated grating has optimal efficiency at the angle and waveband of interest. The 

measured grating efficiency is compared to the efficiency calculated by a computer 

code that rigorously models the diffraction process. Multilayer gratings are being 

developed for a rocket spectrometer that will study the extreme ultraviolet radiation 

from a white dwarf star. Multilayer mirrors are developed for normal-incidence 

microscopes that image the soft x-ray emissions from laser-produced plasmas with 

extremely high spatial resolution. 

I X24C I Structure of Supercooled Liquid Silicon I x25 I

(Containerless Research, Inc.) and David L. Price (ANL) 

We report X-ray diffraction measurements of the structure factor S(Q) and the 

radial distribution function G(r) of levitated liquid silicon in the stable and supercooled states. Supercooling results in a sharpening of the first peak in S(Q) and a shift to an 8% higher Q value, the appearance of a double shoulder on the high-r 

side of the first peak in G(r), a sharpening of the first peak in G(r) and a decrease 

in coordination number. These changes are consistent with a significantly enhanced 

degree of covalent bonding.

The generation of atmospheric oxygen through photosynthetic water-oxidation 

is one of the most fundamental processes responsible for the existence of aerobic 

life forms on earth. The reaction is catalyzed by an oxygen evolving cluster (OEC) 

located in photosystem 11. which contains 4 hln ions. The catalytic mechanism is 

proposed to involve 5 intermediate states called the S states of the Kok cycle. In 

each of the first 4 steps (SO to S4) a photon is absorbed and the OEC is assumed 

to be singly oxidized antl in the last step (S4 to SO) the oxygen is released. Despite 

niimeroiis studies over the last 10 years, a controversy about the 1In oxidation states 

tias remained to (late, antl this information is criicial for the full understanding of 

the water oxidation. Using the technique of high resoliition X-ray fluorescence 

spectroscopy, we studied the hIn-oxidation states in two S1-states of photosystciii

consisterit with the following models: 1.) The S1 state of photosystem I1 contains 

1111(111)2111i(1~~)2. 2.) In the hytlrocluiiione-treatetl S1 state the hIri(III)2 is retliicccl 

to h1n(1L7)2. The first resiilt confirms one of the currently proposed models. antl the 

secoritl result reveals ~iew informatiori about the chemistry irivolvetl in the creation 

of the OEC. The resiilts demonstrate the potential of this spectroscopic techniqiie. 

which is complementary to the tcchniqiies of XiZS antl EF‘R. The study of other

I Evaluation of Efficacy of New Fixed-Wavelength X25 Side Station I X25 I 

L.E. Berman and Z. Yin (NSLS) 

The X25 and X21 hybrid wiggler magnets each radiate a photon fan spanning 

5 horizontal mrad (at 2.5 GeV). of which the central 3 consist of useful hard xrays. For the most part, however, the existing X25 and X21 beam lines make use of no more than the central 1 mrad, containing the brightest x-ray photons. and 

consequently most of the horizontally off-axis radiation is unused. 

The properties of the horizontally off-axis radiation of the X25 wiggler source 

were studied, in an effort to determine the efficacy of adding a new S2.5 (or X21) 

experimental station that woulcl sit aide the existing beam line and make use of 

the presently unused off-axis photons. In order to niake best use of existing floor 

space, antl provide ample enough separation from the present bemi line. the optics 

of a new beam line to support such a station would most likely be based upon 

a horizontally-focussing. sitlemays-diffractitlg bent single crystal monochromator. 

delivering a fixcd wavelength to the station. A subsequent bent mirror could focus 

the beam vertically anti re,ject hmmoriics. Such a station could well support a 

fixed-wavelength crystallography program. which constitutes a large fraction of the 

demand for the existing X25 station. 

There are two handicaps that such a “side station” would suffer. compared with 

the existing “central station”. First. the viewed ratliatiori spectrum is softer because 

the radiation gets emitted from the gent,ler-ciirving segments of thp wiggler magnet 

instead of thc tightly-curving ones. 1. which displays the 

measured X2.5 wiggler spectriini as a function of horizontal angle across the radiation 

fan. Second. the wiggler magnet poles. as viewed frorri a ‘.sitle station”, do not line 

iip (as thtly w-oultl Tvlien vicivctl from the ”cmtral st,atiori”), arid conscqiiently t,he 

viewed horizoiital source is broatlenetl in proportion to the length of tlic wigglrr 

magnet. This is shown in Fig. 2. which displays t,he rrieasiiretl horizoiital soiircc 

sizr as a fiiriction of horizontal angle across the ratliatiori fan. It is coriclutletl that 

a IIPW ‘.side station”, whose central ray is horizontally off-axis by 1 niratl (which is 

feasiblc to pursue), could tlcli\~c~r a riionoclirornntic photon intrnsity tliat is aboiit 

50% of that available in the existing “central station” (based, for instance. on similar

I Characterization of New X25 Double Multilayer Monochromato-1 

L.E. Berman, Z. Yin (NSLS), S.G.J. Mochrie, and O.K.C. Tsui (MIT) 

The X25 monochromator has been capable of accomodating a pair of multilayer 

elements since early 1995. This has been especially useful for x-ray scattering and 

emission experiments for which high monochromaticity is unnecessary, but high 

intensity is. A multilayer monochromator has about a 100 times broader bandwidth than a silicon monochromator, and thereby can deliver 100 times as much 

"monochromatic" intensity to the experiment. 

The X25 multilayers are each composed of tungsten-boron-carbide (W/B4C) multilayer films grown on silicon substrates, and purchased from Osmic, Inc. of Troy, 

Michigan. Recently, a new pair of (W/B4C) multilayer elements, each with a dspacing of 25 A, was obtained. the new pair has a 30% narrower bandwidth than 

the original pair. The photon energy dispersion function of the new pair was mea- sured using a Si(ll1) analyzer crystal, and is shown in Fig. l. Its main peak has 

a relative FWHM of 1.1%. The side fringes about the main peak arise from the 

finite number of bilayers (120) in the multilayers. The calculated reflectivity curve 

for this multilayer pair, based upon its fabrication parameters and assuming ideal 

interfaces, is shown in Fig. 1. A better agreement of theory and experiment can be 

obtained by assuming that an interdiffusion thickness, between layers, was present 

with a u of 4 A, as also shown in Fig. 1. 

The efficacy of improving the resolution of the multilayer pair, via angular misalignment (from parallel) of the two elements with repsect to each other, is demonstrated in Fig. 2, which shows the measured dispersion functions for different misalignment angles. A misalignment angle of 1 arcmin reduces the relative FWHM 

to 0.9%. The main peak sharpens further upon introduction of a 2 arcmin misalignment. However, the neighboring side fringes become comparable in intensity 

with the main peak in this case, thereby compromising the objective of resolution 

narrowing.

M. A. Bianchet, J. Hullihen, P. L. Pedersen, and L. M. Amzel (Johns Hopkins U.) 

FI-ATPase is the soluble portion of the FIFO-ATP synthetase complex, the protein that carries out the synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria. FI by itself exhibits 

a Mg++ dependent ATP hydrolytic activity. Crystals of rat liver F1-ATPase were obtained using (NH4)2S04 as a precipitant in the presence of ATP, Pi and in the 

absence of Mg. Under the crystallization condition used, rat liver F1-ATPase is 

known to be active. FI from redissolved crystals has all subunits and hydrolyzes 

ATP with full activity when Mg++ is added. The three dimensional structure of the 

rat liver FI-ATPase was determined to 2.8 A resolution using these crystals. The more symmetrical conformation of the a- and P-subunits observed in the rat liver 

F1 vis-a-vis the bovine heart enzyme [1] suggests that it may be in another stage of 

the proposed mechanism or perhaps suggest a different one. A new crystallization 

condition, without phosphate buffer, allows crystals be formed with Mg present in 

the crystallization media. Cocrystals of F1-ATPase with MgAMPPNP (non hydrolyzable analogous to ATP), MgADP.Vi (analogous to the transition state) and 

MnADP allow the study of different states in the hydrolisis/synthesis of ATP. Data 

obtained from these three co-crystals at NSLS ( X25 beam line) are being analyzed 

at the present time.

X2 5 Crystallographic Studies of Hin Recombinase DNA-binding Domain 

Bound to Different Binding Sites. 

T. K. Chiu, D. Cascio, R. Johnson, and R. E. Dickerson (UCLA) 

Hin Recombinase belongs to a family of proteins that catalyses site-specific DNA 

inversion in enteric bacteria. This family includes Gin from phage RIu. Cin from 

phage P1, and Pin from phage e14. Hin recognizes a binding site which consists of 

a highly conserved inverted repeat of 12bp (consensus sequence : A/T G G T T T 

A/T G G A G/T A A) separated by a central 2 bp 'core.' The crystal structure of a 52 amino acid peptide consisting of the DNA-binding-domain of E.coli Hin bound 

to the hixL half-site tGTTTTTGATAAGA/aTCTTATCAAAAAC has been solved 

(Feng et al. Science '94). Two water molecules were observed to mediate contacts 

between Hin and its binding site and were proposed to be crucial for Hin's sitespecific recognition. In order to further characterize this recognition process, we have co-crystallized the Hin Recombinase DNA-binding domain bound to different 

mutant binding sites, and have collected synchrotron x-ray data at beamline X25 

on seven different co-crystals. These crystals are isomorphons (six in space group 

C2221, with a= 86, b= 82, c= 44; and one in space group C2221, with a=67.5, 

b=69.7, c=63.6) but diffract to different a extent, with the best one diffracting 

to 2.2A antl the worst one diffracting to 2.9A. Crystallographic refinement antl 

structural analysis are in progress. 

X25 OspA-LA2 Fab Complex Structural Study with Molecular Replacement Methods 

W. Ding, B.J. Lufts, X. Yang (SUNY at Stony Brook), J. J. Dunn, and C.L. 

Lawson (BNL) 

Lyme disease is a progressive infection resulting from inoculation of the spirochete 

Borrelia burgdorferi into the skin by a feeding tick. OspA (Outer Surface Protein 

A, 31 kDa) has been shown to be present when the spirochete is dormant in the tick 

midgut but is no longer detected after rapid division and dissemination to the tick 

salivary glands during a blood meal. This may explain why the natural immune 

response to OspA develops only in a minority of Lyme disease patients.and usually 

only late in the course of the disease. Studies have shown that vaccines based on 

OspA can induce protective immnnity in mammals. Blockage of spirochete transmmison from the tick vector to the mammalian host by anti-OspA antibodies appears 

to be the main mechanism of the protection. However,the protection appears to 

be serotype specific. In murine vaccine studies, the protection mas conferred only 

when hamster's immune response was directed to the epitope defined by the mAb 

LA2. A three dimensional strncture of the protein complex of OspA and LA2 Fab 

will be essential to exactly defining the protective epitopc antl elucidating protein 

function. It will provide the invalnable aid in rational vaccine design. 

Crystals of the OspA-La2 Fab complex were grown at 4°C by hanging-drop 

vapour diffusion methods (0.lhI Na Cacodylate, O.lhI Na Acetate antl lOPEG 3300 

at pH 6.15). They belong to space group P21212, with unit cell dimension a = 

99.5 b=129.5 c=144.5. Diffraction data were collected at the National Synchrotron 

Light Source, on the beaniline X25 iising hL4R image plate/scanner systems. Ttic 

data included 194789 observations of 51741 unique rcflcctiori, RTnrrrlr, = 0.048, representing 98% of the observable data to 2.4 A resoultion. There are two protein 

complex molecules in a asymmetric unit. 

hIolecnlar replacement method was attempted with the data set to determine the 

orientation antl position of LA2 Fab in the crystal lattice. Although the amino acid 

sequence of LA2 is at present only partially known. the honiology to lgaf is expected 

to be highest in 17 high resolution Fab structures from the protein data bank by 

sequence alignrnent. The niolccular replacement program XPLOR (Briinger, 1992) 

was pmployetl to perform search with the constant plus variable domain of the Fab 

as a model. The elbow angle was modified with the iriteryal of 5". The model with 

elbow angle of -20" yieltletl consistent solutions in each resolution shell. The direct 

space Patterson search method (Hnber, 1985) was employed for roatation search 

comprised 15 to 4 AA resoultion data. PC-refinements were carried out where the 

search model was oriented to each of the 191 potential peaks. The first and second 

peaks gave the potential solution jndged by high correliation coefficient. mlIoleciile 

A was subjected to a translation search with a sampling interval of lx in each 

dimension. The position of molecule B was determined by keeping molecule A fixed 

to solve the ambiguity on the cell origin. The initial model was refined by the rigid 

body refinement antl enerp minimization. The refined R factor is 0.33. The model 

is cross validated by the difference Fourie map calcnlaterl with the protein phase. 

The electron design map is being interpreted with building 0sp.A model. 
Three Dimensional Structure of a Human Natural Killer Cell Inhibitory Receptor at 1.7A Resolution 

Q. R. Fan, L. Mosyak, D. C. Wiley (Howard Hughes Medical Institute), C.C. 

Winter, N. Wagtmann, and E. 0. Long (National Institute of Health) 

Killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIR) on human natural killer (NK) cells prevent 

the lysis of target cells bearing specific class I MHC molecules. The human p58 KIR 

clone 42 recognizes HLA-Cw4, -Cw2, -Cw5 and -Cw6, but not HLA-Cw3, -Cwl, 

-Cw7 or -Cw8, which are recognized by p58 KIR clone 43 '. 

We have determined the X-ray structure of a p58 KIR (p58-c142) at 1.7k resolution using multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD)' method. MAD data of a single selenomethionyl p58-cl42 crystal (hexagonal rod with dimensions of 0.06 x 

0.06 x 1.5 mm3; P61; a=b=92.3k c=47.0A were collected to 2.2k with a 300 mm diameter MAR Research image-plate system at X25 beamline of the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. MAD phasing was treated 

as a case of multiple isomorphous replacement3 ; refinement of anomalous scatterer 

parameters and phase calculation were performed with MLPHARE4. The initial 

MAD map was improved by density modification using DM5, assuming 40% solvent 

content. A model of ~58442 KIR was traced from both the density modified and 

unmodified electron density maps. A high resolution native data set was collected 

to 1.7A on the Princeton 2K CCD detector at F-1 beamline of the Cornel1 High 

Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The atomic model has been refined against 

the native data at 1.7w resolution to a crystallographic R-value of 20.6% (Rfree = 

25.4%). 

The p58-c142 KIR structure has tandem immunoglobulin-like domains positioned 

at an acute, 60" angle. Loops on the outside of the elbow between the domains 

form a binding site projected away from the NK cell surface. The topology of the 

domains and their arrangement relative to each other reveals a relationship to the 

hematopoietic receptor family, with implications for the mechanism of inhibition in 

NK cells.

I Structural Studies Of Type I DNA Topoisomerases 

H. Feinberg and A. Mondrag6n (Northwestern U.) 

DNA topoisomerases are proteins responsible for controlling and maintaining the 

topological state of DNA in the cell. They have been found in all cell types of both 

eukaryotes and prokaryotes and additionally in some viruses. They are involved in 

DNA replication, transcription, and genetic recombination. Four topoisomerases 

have been identified in E. coli topoisomerase I, gyrase or topoisomerase 11, topoi- somerases 111, and IV. Our work is concerned with type I topoisomerases, which 

include topoisomerase I and 111. The long term goal of our work is to understand 

in atomic detail the catalytic mechanism of these enzymes, including the proteinDNA interaction, the cleavage and religation reactions, the strand passage, and the 

conformational changes that occur during the topological manipulations. 

We have crystals of a 30 kDa fragment of E. coli DNA topoisomerase I. This 

fragment represents the region that we have speculated that it moves away from 

the rest of the protein during the topological transformations. The 30 kDa fragment 

contains the active site tyrosine and has cleavage activity. We have been unable to 

solve this structure by Molecular Replacement or MIR methods. In order to solve 

the structure, a four wavelength MAD experiment was conducted at X25 using a 

MAR CCD detector. For the MAD experiment a platinum heavy atom derivative 

with two sites per molecule was used. The crystals are monoclinic so 360" of data 

were collected per wavelength in 1" oscillation steps. A total of 1440 frames were collected in less than 24 hours. The experiment was only feasible thanks to the 

availability of the MAR CCD detector. The data are excellent and the two sites 

are clearly visible in an anomalous Patterson. MAD phasing is in progress.

S.B. Gabelli, h4. A. Bianchet, S.F. O'Handley. hl. Bessman, L. Mario Amzel (JHU) 

The nudix hydrolases are a family of phosphoanhydrases that carry out 

the hydrolysis of a nucleoside diphosphate linked to several different moieties. 

Across species, the members of the family contain the consensus sequence 

GxxExxEx~~xxREVxEEsxI. This sequence appears to be a versatile nucleotide 

binding and catalytic site. Among family members, the gene product of E.coli 

ORF209, is an enzyme highly specific for ADP-sugars, with its highest activity on 

ADP-ribose. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate linkage: ADP-ribose 

< hhIP+ribose 5-P. Crystals of Orf209 have been grown by vapour tliffiision at 18 

C using polyethylene glycol as the precipitant. Initial data to 2.9 A resolution were 

collected on an image plate using a copper rotating anode. Higher resolution native data were collected at beaniline X25 at BNLS with 1.1A radiation. using flash 

frozen crystals with 40the crystal to dectector distance was 225mni arid 100 micron

Structure Of a Cre Recombinase-DNA Site-specific Recombination 

Synapse 

The CuKa:,, Hypersatellites and Correlated Hypersatellites* 

F. Guo, D. N. Gopaul, and G. D. Van Duyne (U. of Penn.) 

Cre recombinase catalyzes the reciprocal exchange of DNA strands between 34- 

base pair loxP sites during site-specific recombination. Using diffraction data mea- sured at the X25 and X4A beamlines, we have determined the 2.4 A crystal structure of a covalent intermediate in the Cre-loxP reaction, where the recombinase 

has cleaved and formed 3'-phosphotyrosine linkages to its DNA substrates. Four 

recombinases and two DNA substrates are arranged in a pseudo-fourfold symmetric 

tetramer that represents a site-specific recombination synapse. 

Parent data and two heavy atom derivative data sets for this structure were measured at the X25 beamline. One derivative was made from selenomethioninesubstituted Cre recombinase, with 22 anomalous scatterers in the crystallographic 

asymmetric unit. Data were measured at a single wavelength corresponding to a maximum of f" and the resulting anomalous diffraction signal led to strong crystallographic phasing power. The second heavy atom derivative made use of an iodine-containing DNA substrate. The selenomethionine derivative was also used 

for a three-wavelength anomalous diffraction measurement at the X4A beamline. 

Together, the heavy atom diffraction data from the two beamlines led to a readily 

interpretable image of the electron density.

Resonant X-ray Magnetic Scattering From an Fe/Gd Multilayer X25 

L. Huang, F. Hofer. G.S. Martin, and S-H. Kim (U. California at Berkeley) 

The structure of the complex bewteen oncogenic protein Ras and the Ras- interacting domain of RalGDS (RalGDS-RID) has been studied by x-ray crystallogaphy. 

The structure of the complex will provide crucial information on Ras' interaction 

with its binding partner at an atomic level. Since the mutant forms of Ras are 

involved in 30% of human cancer and Ras' function is carried out through its effectors, the spatial location of the key interface residues may assist in identifying small 

molecules that are capable of disrupting this interaction and thus provide insights 

for the developnient of anti-cancer drugs. A 2.8 room temperature data set on a native complex crystal mas initially taken at BL X12B. which enabled us to solve 

the structure. A 2.0 frozen data set was later taken at BL X2.5 in September, which 

enabled us to refine the structure to a much higher resolution so that we can see the 

side chain interaction morc clearly. The crystal has a P212121 space group, with 

a=75.648, b=78.256, c=87.313 . The complex crystallizes as a tieterotertramer with 

two active Ras molecules and two RalGDS-RID subunits.

I Structural Studies of the IgE Fc Receptor I x25 I I The Structure of Liquid Boron I x25 I 

T. Jardetzky (Northwestern U.) 

We are studying the structure of the high affinity IgE receptor that is involved 

triggering immediate type hypersensitivities such as allergic reactions. In the past 

year we have used the NSLS X-25 beamline to study two weakly diffracting crystal 

forms of the extracellular domains of this receptor. Our first trip in March, 1997 

focused on a derivative search for a tetragonal crystal form (P41 or P43), which 

diffracts to a maximum resolution of -3.6 Angs. During this trip we used a new 

MarCCD detector which allowed us to collect 9 different data sets (1 native and 

8 potential derivative). Optimal wavelengths for the collection of anomalous data 

were selected by taking EXAFS scans from metal-soaked crystals. These data were processed and compared to the native data. Although significant differences in 

intensities were measured for the derivatives compared to the native data, nonisomorphism problems have prevented the successful interpretation of difference 

patterson maps. 

On our second trip to X-25 (September, 1997), we collected seven datasets on a 

new hexagonal crystal form of the receptor, which diffracts to -3.2 Angs using synchrotron X-ray sources. These crystals do not suffer from the same non-isomorphism 

problems as the tetragonal form. During this visit to X-25, we were able to collect 

two datasets from mercury soaked crystals of a cysteine mutant of the receptor, 

which show intensity changes when compared to the native protein. In addition, we were able to collect four data sets from heavy atom soaked wild type protein 

crystals. Tentative heavy atom solutions to the difference pattersons have been 

identified and are being further evaluated at this time.

We report the first measurements of the structure factor, S(Q), and the pair 

distribution function, g(r), for pure liquid boron, in the temperature range 2600- 

2000K, in the normal and metastable (supercooled) liquid states. The S(Q) data 

show a weak feature at 2.5 k1 that resembles the first sharp diffraction peak. The 

first four peak positions in the g(r) for liquid B occur at 1.78, 3.16, 4.61, 5.98A 

respectively, and agree well with the corresponding positions in the g(r) for solid 

&rhombohedral boron (BIOS). Supercooled liquid B shows considerable sharpening 

and narrowing of the peaks in the g(r) and is indicative of increased ordering of 

boron atoms. The similarity in the peak positions relative to solid &boron, a 

coordination number of about 6, combined with the known stability of boron’s 

covalent bond shows the retention of icosahedral BIZ units in the liquid state. The 

number of such icosahedral clusters appears to increase as the liquid is supercooled. 

The results are discussed in relation to available data on the properties and structure 

of liquid and solid boron.

Single-stranded nucleic acid-binding proteins play roles in key cellular processes 

such as DNA replication, recombination, repair, and control of RNA translation. 

This project has focussed on determining the crystal structures of complexes between gene V protein and oligonucleotides of lengths from 4 to 16 nucleotides. We 

have obtained crystals of a number of these complexes and have collected x-ray 

diffraction data on those that diffract to high resolution. At this point we have collected x-ray diffraction datasets to a resolution of at least 3.5 A for the 6 different 

gene V protein-oligonucleotide complexes. 

We have used the structure of the wild-type gene V protein that we determined 

previously to solve the structure of the protein portion of one complex crystal con- taining a 16-mer oligonucleotide. This complex crystallized in space group R3 and 

the asymmetric unit of the crystal contains 4 monomers of the protein. The standard R-factor for this structure after rigid-body refinement of the protein portion 

alone is 0.39, indicating that the solution we have obtained is likely to be correct. 

We are now in the process of using difference Fourier methods and atomic refinement 

to determine the location of the bound ssDNA in these crystals. 

I Structure Determination of Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase 

M.M.G.M. Thunnissen, P. Nordlund (Stocklholm U., Sweden.), and 3. Z. Haeggstrom (Karolinska Institute, Sweden) 

Leukotrienes are lipid mediators involved in inflammatory and allergic processes. 

Leukotriene (LT)B4 is a potent chemotactic stimulus for leukocytes and is regarded 

as an important mediator of inflammation (Samuellson et al, 1987). This com- pounds is formed from arachidonic acid via the sequential action of two enzymes. 

5-lipoxygenase catalyzes the formation of the epoxide intermediate LTA4 which is 

in turn converted into LTB4 by the enzyme LTA4 hydrolase. In addition to its 

epoxide hydrolase activity, LTA4 hydrolase also has peptidase/amidase activity towards synthetic substrates.The amino acid sequence for LTA4 hydrolase shows a 

consensus sequence which is conserved amongs zinc- metalloproteases (Haeggstrom 

et al. 1990). Site directed mutagenesis studies have shown that His295, His299 and 

Glu318 are the three Zn binding ligands and that Glu296 is the catalytic amino-acid 

for the peptidase activity, for which a general base mechanism is proposed (Medina 

et al., 1991). Tyr383 was identified as the potential proton-donor in this mechanism 

(Blomster et al., 1995). However much less is known about the epoxide hydrolase 

activity although mutations at positions 296 and 383 showed that the active sites 

are not identical but rather overlapping. In view of the potential importance of 

LTA4 hydrolase as a target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, novel se- lective inhibitors have been developed (Yuan, 1993) based on substrate mediated 

inactivation of the enzyme. The efficiency of these inhibitors has been tested on the 

epoxide activity of the protein. These new inhibitors are the most potent inhibitors 

of the enzyme presently available, with IC50 between 2 and 0.2mM. With the help 

of structural information, these compounds might be used as lead compunds and 

ultimately be developed into novel anti-inflammatory drugs. 

We recently collected MAD data on the L(II1) edge of Yb at beamline X25. Three 

datasets (peak, ,point of inflection and hard remote) were collected. The data has 

been processed in a preliminary manner using DENZO. The completeness of these 

datasets is around 90% to 3.5A with R merges of 10%. Since data was collected very 

recently no further analysis has been done. Some preliminary Patterson functions 

show interpretable peaks. We hope that we can use these data for initial phasing 

and that subsequent two-fold averaging will be sufficient for tracing the peptide 

chain.

I X-ray Studies of the Surface Wetting Transition in Liquid Ga-Bi* I X25 I 

H. Tostmann, P. S. Pershan (Harvard U.), E. DihIasi, B. RI. Ocko (BNL), and hI. 

Deutsch (Bar-Ilan, Israel) 

In contrast to a simple eutectic alloy, such as Ga-In which exhibits Gibbs surface 

segregation, Ga-Bi has a pronounced miscibility gap. This is a prerequisite for the occurrence of a surface wetting transition. In the case of Ga-Bi, a macroscopically 

thick Bi rich film completely wets the lighter Ga rich bulk phase if the temperature 

is raised above the characteristic wetting temperature Tu.. Optical ellipsometry 

studies show that T,, coincides with the monotectic temperature of 220'C. 

Using high energy synchrotron radiation, it is possible to monitor the wetting 

transition from a microscopically thin Bi monolayer to a macroscopically thick Bi 

film with atomic resolution. An indication for this phase transition can be seen in fig.1. The x-ray reflectivity R from liquid Ga-Bi is shown for three different 

temperatures, two below and one above T,u. The two reflectivities at 35°C and 

95°C can be fitted by a niotlel that assumes a single Bi monolayer on top of the 

Ga rich bulk (solid line). The principal differences between the 35°C and the 95°C 

data can be explained by a Debye-iVallcr type factor associated with the surface 

roughness due to thermal capillary waves. It is important to note that the basic 

structiiral fentiire -- a Bi rich monolayer on top of a Ga rich bulk is not changed

111 contrast to this. the difference between the 260°C and the 35°C data in the 

small wavevector range cannot be explained by thermal roughness arid a simple 

monolayer model does not fit the 260°C data. This indicates it significant change in 

the siirface structure for T > T,,,. As can be seen in fig.2, at sninll q the reHectivity

I Surface Structure of Liauid Indium* I x75 I

The surfacenormal density profile of liquid metals (LM) is more complex than 

the relatively simple monotonic decay of density found in dielectic liquids. In the case of Lhl, the combination of the two-fluid nature, the strong Coulmob interactions and quantum effects give rise to atomic layering normal to the free surface. 

This has long been predicted by theory and verified recently by our experiments on 

liquid Hg and Ga. Several features of these density profiles are not explained by 

theory. To gain deeper insight into the surface strucutre of LRI, investigations of 

additional LM are necessary. RIeasurements on liquid In are of particular interest 

since In is more free-electron-like than either Ga or Hg. 

The x-ray reflectivity from a liquid In siirface is shown in Fig.1. The layering peak 

at 2.2k' is due to interference from the ordered surface lavers having a spacing of 

about 2.7A. The data can be fitted by a model representing the layer densities by a sequence of Gaussians decaying in amplit1ide (solid line). The intrinsic density 

profiles of Ga and In can be compared when the effects of the finite temperature are removed. In this case, the aniplitiide of the first layer is slightly larger for In 

than for Ga and the In layering decays faster into the bulk then the Ga layering. 

In addition we recorded the off-specular tliffiise scattering (Fig.2). The solid lines 

correspond to the theoretically expected scattering intensity taking into account 

tlie surface structiire factor. the experimental resolution and the scattering froin 

therrnally activated capillary waves. Thr agreement justifies our proceetlurc for the 

separation of capillary intliicetl roughncss from the intrinsic siirfacc structure.

Non-Brownian Dynamics of Concentrated Colloidal Suspension 

Probed by X-ray Intensity Fluctuation (XIFS) 

0. K. C. Tsui and S. G. J. Mochrie (MIT) 

We have performed XIFS measurements of the equilibrium dynamics of suspensions of charge-stabilized Sbz05 spheres of radius 250 f 40k1 in glycerol. Two 

samples were studied: a dilute sample (sample I) and a concentrated sample (sample 11), the latter with an effective hard sphere volume fraction 0.18. Fig. 1 shows 

the temoral autocorrelation for both samples at different wavevectors. For sample 

I, the data fit very well to a single exponential (Fig. l(a)). For sample 11, however, this model does not work as well (solid lines in Fig. l(b)). Therefore, we have adopted a cumulant form up to the third order in order to fit the data. Evidently, it provides a much better description (dashed lines in Fig. l(b)). In Fig. 

2, we have plotted Do/D vs. Q, where D = l/'rQQ2 (TQ is the characteristic decay 

time of the autocorrelation) and Do is the Stokes-Einstein diffusion coefficient. For 

sample I, Do/D is nearly constant versus Q, as expected for a dilute suspension 

undergoing Brownian motion. The fact that D is a factor of 2.6 bigger than Do 

is probably due to the presence of water impurity in the sample. On the other 

hand, for sample 11, Do/D increases rapidly with Q, and tends to peak at where 

S(Q) peaks (Qmax N 0.008k1). Physically, the particle density wave at Q,, has 

the optimum interparticle separation, therefore any attempt to move the particle 

away from this preferred configuration is suppressed. What is the most interesting, 

however, is that at small Q the asymptotic value of Do/D is bigger than one. Light 

scattering results of suspensions with hard sphere or screened Coulomb interactions 

suggest the opposite. More work is needed to understand the discrepancy.

I Statistical Analysis of X-ray Speckle at X25 I x25 I 

0. K. C. Tsui, S. G. J. Mochrie (MIT), and L. E. Berman (BNL) 

A highly coherent x-ray beam was produced at the NSLS wiggler beamline X25 

using a rectangular slit 8.9 pm (vertical) x4.2pm (horizontal). By illuminating an aerogel sample (a disordered medium) with the beam, a static speckle pattern 

was produced (Fig. 1). Statistical analysis was carried out to study the coher- ence properties of the beam, which may be described by a number M, which may 

be considered as the number of independent coherent x-ray fields contributing to 

the observed speckle pattern. We calculated the autocorrelation function and the 

intensity probability distribution of the speckle pattern at various wavevectors, Q 

(0.003 < Q < 0.0lA-l) and obtained the Q dependence of M (Fig. 2(a)) and the 

FWHM of the speckle pattern (Fig. 2(b)). We adopted a model recently developed 

by Albernathy et. al. and found good agreement with the data. Our result showed 

that the number of coherence areas propagated through the slit, Mo, was 2.3 which 

is 35% bigger than what one will expect from transverse coherence length considerations. We do not understand the discrepancy although beryllium windows and 

beamline optics are possible candidates to explain the difference.

R. Clarke (U. of Michigan), and L. Berman (NSLS) 

We previously demonstrated that the two-beam diffraction interference technique 

provided a direct measurement of the phase of the x-ray beam diffracted by a 2D 

crystal [l] . The experimental results indicated that accurate quantitative measurements required two refinements: a calibration of the diffracted intensity relative to 

the incident intensity and a direct measurement of the amplitude and phase of the 

x-ray reflection coefficient for the incident beam. 

As our calibration signal we used the powder diffracted beam from a 0.4 pm 

Au overlayer. We chose this signal rather than a signal proportional to the overall 

beam intensity because, as illustrated in Fig. 1, this signal is proportional to the 

intensity of that part of the 20 pm incident beam which is in close proximity to the 

portion (indicated by dashed lines) participating in the 2D crystal diffraction. The 

measured intensity of the calibration signal as a function of beam position relative 

to the Au layer shows that the beam intensity varies continuously within the beam 

by about 10% confirming the need for calibration. 

The absolute value of the reflection coefficient was measured directly as a function 

of the angle of incidence, a. The results, shown in Fig. 2 (filled circles), are in good 

agreement with calculations (solid curve). The phase of the reflection coefficient was 

measured as follows: a monolayer of Ni was evaporated on the 2D crystal prior to 

evaporating the Pd mirror layer. The intensity of the Ni fluorescence is proportional 

to the intensity of the standing wave produced by the incident and reflected beams. 

The Ni fluorescence signal is plotted in the lower right figure ( Xs ). The results 

suggest that the phase qualitatively follows calculations (solid curve) for an ideal Pd 

reflector. In particular, note the increase in fluorescence intensity near the critical 

angle where the incident and reflected beams are in-phase. Nonetheless, there exist 

significant deviations in the data suggesting that the GaAs-Pd interface is not a 

simple one justifying our efforts to measure the phase directly.

Structures and Oxidation States of Layers on Platinum Single Crystal 

Surfaces.

x25 

A cyclic voltammetry scan of the Pt(ll1) surface (not shown) have several prominent features associated with the changes in chemical condition of the surfaces. We 

will present a set of preliminary data in this report in order to show that the surface 

resonance scattering through platinum LB edge is sensitive to the oxidation or chemical state of the top layer of platinum surface. The precise control of the oxidation 

state of the surface can be accomplished in electrochemical potential control. 

Single crystals of platinum were prepared using the flame annealing followed by 

an iodine protection scheme. In this way, the surface can be prepared atomically 

flat. This method has previously used to prepare the surface and proven to work. 

Now the top surface platinum atoms are oxidized or reduced via electrochemical 

potential control. 

In Figure 1, as a selected set of examples, calculated (left panel) and measured 

(right panel) x-ray intensities are shown as a function of incident x-ray energy 

through the Pt L3 edge for four different conditions. The top panels are for the scan from the bulk platinum. This intensity was measured at the critical angle of 

platinum where we expect the x-ray evanescent intensity penetrate into the bulk. 

The rest of the panels are for scans made at the most surface sensitive Q-positions 

at three different electrochemical potentials (three different oxidation states), i.e., 

at 0.8, 0.1, and 1.2 V, respectively. At 0.8 V, the surface is under open-circuit 

potential and very little charge transfer of the top Pt layer is expected. At 0.1 V, 

the surface is expected to be reduced and at 1.2 V the surface is fully oxidized. It 

is clear that the x-ray scattering intensity is extremely sensitive to the oxidation 

state of the top atomic layer of platinum, indicating the feasibility of detecting 

monolayer-level chemical changes.

Synchrotron micro-XANES spectra of garnet were collected on beamline X26A, 

during August 1997, after the installation of focussing mirrors just upstream of the 

sample. The garnet samples came from 13 rocks collected to cover a wide range of 

Fe3' /Fe2+, including end-member almandine and andradite hIossbauer standards. 

Rleasiirements were macle on thin sections and grain mounts using a roughly 50 x 

100 micron beam. Spectra were fitted to determine the location of the Fe pre-edge 

relative to a magnetite standard antl calibration following the procedure of Bajt et 

al. (1994). After subtraction of the main edge baseline. all of the spectra appear to 

be composites of two closely overlapped peaks, probablv relating to the cubic and 

octahedral sites in the structure. Fez+ rich garnet has a prominent peak at -1.9 eV 

(8-fold occupancy) and a smaller peak at f0.5 eV (Fe3+ in 6-fold coordination). 

End-member andradite is a composite of two peaks at -0.2 eV antl + 1.3 cV. Thus, 

the shape antl location of the pre-edge is a vcrv sensitive indicator of the Fe"' 

content of garnet. The composite peaks in the Fe prr-edge were not resolvable prior 

to the installation of the focussing mirrors.

X26A Ferric/Ferrous Microanalyses of Geological Glasses by Synchrotron 

MicroXANES (SmX)

Dyar (West Chester U.) 

Fe(III)/Fe(II) in numerous geological glasses, determined by wet chemical and 

Mossbauer techniques, correlate linearly with variations in the energy of the Fe Kabsorption pre-edge measured by synchrotron microXANES (SmX) in fluorescence 

mode using a 12x15 micrometer beam at X26A. Fe in glass is in 4- and 5-fold coordination, in contrast to the 6-fold Fe of most of the minerals studied. The magnitude 

of the pre-edge energy change, as a function of Fe(III)/Fe(II), is smaller in glass. 

The calibration line used for pure glasses is also different from that of minerals 

because of the different coordination of the Fe. ‘Impure’ glasses, that contain crystallites or that were slowly quenched have pre-edge peak energies that fall between 

those of the ’pure’ glasses and ’pure’ minerals of comparable Fe(III)/Fe(II) ratio. 

Such ‘impure’ glasses are typical of geological materials. The impure glass data lie 

in a continuum between glassy to crystalline states with the average coordination 

number of Fe probably reflecting the extent of their short vs. long range ordering, or their ”crystallinity”. The average Fe coordination number of micrometer scale 

areas of glass may in fact correlate with the cooling rate of the glass. 

In SmX, neither a ‘pure’ glass calibration line nor a ‘pure’ mineral calibration 

line can be used for microanalysis of such ”real-world” samples because effects of Fe 

coordination on the measured signal are significant. Fortunately, the coordination 

of Fe in glassy samples can be determined quantitatively with a combination of 

XANES and EXAFS technique. The ability to measure simultaneously the XANES 

and the EXAFS region of a multivalent element, such as Fe, is already in use for 

the quantitative Fe(III)/Fe(II) microanalysis on minerals and is being explored on 

coexisting glassy phases. 

Preliminary experiments using glass with coexisting minerals are being done to measure the partitioning of Fe(I1) and Fe(II1) between the phases. These results 

allow determination of natural crystal growth systematics for materials that were not previous possible. 

Redox Ratios with Outrageous Resolution: Solving an Old geological 

Problem with the Synchrotron MicroXANES Probe. 

J. S. Delaney (Rutgers U.), M. D. Dyar (West Chester U.), S. R. Sutton (U. 

Chicago), and S. Bajt (LLNL) 

In situ measurements of the oxidation state of iron in common minerals have been 

made using the synchrotron microXANES (SmX) technique. The results compare 

very well with wet chemical and Mvssbauer spectroscopic analyses of the same sam- ples. Areas of 10 x 20 micrometers have been measured successfully and the results 

demonstrate that both compositional zoning of Fe3+/( CFe) within individual grains 

and the effect of oxide inclusions on bulk analyses can be quantified. Such sample 

heterogeneity cannot be detected by conventional bulk analytical techniques. The 

ability to measure FeS+/(CFe) with spatial resolution comparable to that of the 

electron microprobe further enhances the importance of microbeam techniques in 

the earth and planetary sciences. Direct measurements of parameters constrained 

by oxidation-reduction processes are now possible with the same spatial resolution as traditional compositional analyses derived from electron beam and optical microscopic techniques. The new Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors on X26A have increased 

the intensity of the x-ray beam usable for Fe-microXANES, permits rapid analysis 

and the acquisition of data with the level of spatial detail common to conventional 

microbeam techniques. Co-ordinated Smx, electron probe and ion probe studies of 

microvolumes are now feasible and are being done

Evaporation ponds in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), CA used for the containment of irrigation drainage waters. have elevated levels of U. The ponds support 

algae which upon evaporation. become incorporated in sediments as depositional 

sedimentary layers of organic matter (Ohl). The Ohl facilitates reducing conditions 

in the sediments. However, our studies have shown U in one pond sediment exists 

as primarily the oxidized form, LJ(V1)-regardless of the presence of oxidizing or 

reducing conditions. Research was conducted with two pond sediments to characterize U speciation antl the influence of various leaching solutions on the U speciation. The research involved spectroscopic techniques such as X-ray Absorption 

Near Edge Structure (XANES, at the X-26’4 niicroprobe beamline) for LJ oxidation 

state determinations and (at LANL) basic rooni antl low temperature time-resolved 

luminescence. These analytical techniques were complemented by wet chemical U 

extraction methods which involved the use of non-oxidizing carbonate antl sulfuric 

acid solutions and oxitliziiig solutions. X-ray ahsorption spectroscopy (XAS) iitilizirig synchrotron radiation is a non-invasive, in situ method that can be used to

To examine the factors affecting U(V1) reduction in saline pond sediments from 

the San Joaquin Valley. CA. Sediments were equilibrated with natural and synthetic pond inlet waters containing 10 mg U(V1) L-’ and various potential reducing 

agents. The equilibrations were done under oxidizing conditions (treatments with 

the algae Chlorella) and under 02-limiting conditions (acetate. sucrose antl alfalfa 

treatments). After three weeks of equilibration, sediment U was characterized for 

changes in oxidation state (by XANES using the microprobe at X-264) and the 

dissolved U concentrations were dctcrminccl by phospholuminescence spectroscopy.

I Redox Speciation of Cr in Contaminated Soils, LA-UR-97-3591 I X26A I

(LANL), S. Kung (LANL), G. Shea-McCarthy (U. of Chicago) 

At the Los Alamos National Laboratory DOE site, several soils are considered to 

be mixed-waste due to elevated concentrations of chromium (Cr, a RCRA metal) 

and radionuclides. At one site, a former research reactor water cooling tower which 

received over 2 tons of Cr(V1) over a 17 year period was the primary source of 

soil Cr contamination. The determination of soil Cr(III/VI) ratios is important to 

the classification of mixed waste because Cr(II1) is appreciably less toxic and less 

mobile than Cr(V1). Soil, plant and groundwater samples were taken and analyzed 

for Cr content and in most cases Cr oxidation state. Potential factors influencing Cr 

redox chemistry such as water chemistry, soil Mn oxidation state and concentration, 

and organic matter (OM) content were also studied. Soils had up to 1000 mg 

Cr kg-’. Wet chemical soil Cr(V1) extractions determined that Cr(II1) was the 

dominant Cr oxidation state. These findings were further corroborated with in situ 

XANES studies with the microprobe at beamline X-26A on individual soil particles 

based on the absence of the pre-edge peak indicative of Cr(V1). Total soil Cr and 

Cr(V1) values were correlated with soil OM content and based on the XANES 

spectra, multiple forms of soil Cr(II1) species appear to be present. Coarse soil OM 

had percentage levels of Cr with the dominant Cr oxidation state being Cr(II1). 

According to SXRF studies, species of live plants taken from the cooling tower area have only trace Cr contents relative to the coarse soil OM suggesting the uptake 

of Cr by the coarse soil OM was postmortem. The Mn-XANES spectra suggest 

oxidized Mn(1V) is the dominant form of Mn, being greater than 80 per cent of the 

total soil Mn. However, results from heated acid digestions suggest that only half 

of the total soil Mn is nitric acid extractable-when it was previously thought that 

soil Mn(1V) is readily extracted with strong acid. Soil Mn(1V) may be chemically 

unavailable or in too low a concentration to catalyze significant Cr(II1) oxidation to 

Cr(V1). The inability of Mn(1V) to oxidize Cr(II1) to Cr(V1) may also exist because 

soil Cr is strongly associated with soil OM. Therefore, it is unlikely the Cr(II1) will 

be oxidized to Cr(V1) over the long term. This study provides a strong potential for 

practical cost savings for mixed-waste characterization and management because it 

shows that: 1) the majority of Cr in the soil is the environmentally benign Cr(II1) 

species, 2) the oxidation of Cr(II1) to the mobile and toxic Cr(V1) is unlikely in this 

system if it remains fairly undisturbed, and 3) the Cr(V1) content is low enough to 

make a final recommendation of ”no further action” for this site.

G. J. Flynn (SUNY at Plattsburgh) and S. R. Sutton (U. of Chicago) 

Interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), which are fragments of asteroids and comets, are collected from the Earth’s stratosphere by NASA aircraft. The element abundance patterns in meteorites have proven useful in inferring their formation temperatures and establishing genetic links between different meteorites. Our prior 

analyses of over 100 small IDPs (about 10 to 20 microns in size) indicate that the 

volatile contents ratios separate those IDPs into two groups ~ one volatile rich and 

the other having a volatile content similar to the CI carbonaceous meteorites. 

The impact collection technique separates the largest IDPs (greater than about 25 

microns in diameter) into two groups based on structural strength: strong particles 

collected intact, and weaker particles which fragment on collection. The latter group are called ”cluster particles” because they occur as a localized field of debris on the 

collector. 

We have, thus far, determined element/Fe ratios in 21 large IDPs [l] and 24 cluster fragments from the NASA stratospheric collectors. Although the compositions 

of individual particles vary widely, the average composition of the large IDPs differs 

significantly from the average of the cluster fragments. The cluster fragments are enriched in the volatile elements Cu, Ga, Ge, Se, Zn, S, and Br compared to the large 

IDPs, suggesting the cluster particles may have formed at a lower temperature than 

the large IDPs. Both types of IDPs have similar contents of the refractory elements, 

except that Ca is lower, by an average of a factor of 3, in the large IDPs compared 

to the cluster fragments. Low Ca IDPs generally contain hydrated minerals, while 

the normal-Ca IDPs are generally anhydrous [a]. 

Our results indicate the large IDPs collected intact and the cluster IDPs have 

different chemical compositions, and, thus, may sample different parent bodies of 

different parts of the same parent body. Previously, Nishiizumi et al. [3], in an 

examination of larger interplanetary dust particles (greater than 100 microns in 

diameter) recovered from polar ices, reported a possible correlation between Cacontent and AlZG abundance, a measure of space exposure. Their results suggested 

a higher AlZG content, and thus a longer space exposure duration for the normal-Ca 

than for the low-Ca particles they examined. To determine if the large IDPs and the 

cluster IDPs from the stratosphere have different space exposure ages, and possibly 

different sources, we have begun a collaboration with the noble gas mass spectrometry group at Washington University. They will measure noble gas abundances, 

using the concentrations of solar wind gases and of cosmic ray spallation-produced 

Nez1 to determine space exposure ages, on the same IDPs analyzed for chemical 

composition at X26A.

When high-speed dust particles impact into a slab of lowdensity (tens to a a 

fern hundred mg/cc) aerogel the particles generally come to a stop in a distance 

of about 100 particle diameters, leaving a cone-shaped track with either an intact 

dust particle or fragments of the particle at the bottom end of the track. If the 

particle is larger than about 1 micron in size, the entry track can be observed in 

an optical microscope. However, chemical analysis of the particle has required the 

removal of the particle from the aerogel, a labor-intensive process. We previously 

demonstrated that the X-Ray RIicroprobe at beamlirie X26A could be used for insitu chemical analysis of particles captured in aerogel [l]. This capability allows us to 

perform major arid trace element analysis on particles captured in the aerogels flown 

on earth-orbiting spacecraft, antl to tlistingnish between orbital debris particles 

(typically metal. paint, or solar cell fragments) antl micrometeorites (similar to 

chondritic meteorites) based on their chemical compositions. 

This year. we analyzed an aerogel collector flown on the Russian space station 

LIIR. This 65 cm2 collector had been exposed to space for three weeks, including one 

week during Orionid meteor shower in 1995 antl two-weeks in early 1996. Based 

on average niicrorrieteoritc flus measurements. the probability of one impact by 

a partick greater than 10 microns in diameter during a three week exposure is 

only aboiit 0.3, although it mas hoped there might be an enhanced flus during the 

Orionid shower. Only one "event," correspontlirig to an objcct about 10 microns 

in size, was identified in this collector by optical scanning [2], arid degradation of 

the arrogel surface during the space exposlire preclutled optical detection of smaller 

particles. The track measures about, I50 microns in length. The X-Ray XIicroprobe 

analysis showed high Ca. low Fe arid low Ni. a corriposit,ion distinctly tlifkrrnt from 

chondritic meteorites and from the interplanetary dust collected from the Earth's 

stratosphere. Further, we found a uniform composition dong the length of the 

track. rather than a chemical "hot spot" correspontling to it particle at the end of 

the track. .\Iost likely this event is contamination in thr form of a fiber cast into the 

aerogel tluring manufacture. In the upcoming year. the X-Ray LIicroprobe will be 

iisetl to examine a similar collector flown on the spa tation XIIR for more than 6 

months. which should have collected a few particles greater than 10 microns in size. 

\Ye also performed chemical analyses of aerogels being developed at the .let 

Propulsion Laboratory for use on NASA's Starclust mission, schecluletl for launching in 1999. Startlust will captiire dust particles chiring a flight through the tail of 

Cornet I17ilcl-2. using aerogel captiire cells. The current effort focuses on insuring 

that the concentration of contnniinants in the silica aerogel being tleveloped for the 

Startlust spacecraft are sufficiently low to allow in-situ chemical characterization of 

the about 1500 cometary dust fra-merits greater than 15 niicrons in size espectetl to 

be returned to Earth by the Startlust spacecraft in the year 2006. In-situ chemical 

characterization ivill allow efficient curation of the returned comet dust samples. 

eliminating the necessity for the labor-intensive removal of each particle from the 

aerogel as part of the sample curation process.

hIcKay et al. [l] have reported that carbonate globules and dark rim material sur- rounding these carbonate globules from the ALH84001 meteorite contain possible 

indicators of ancient biological activity on hlars. However. the formation temperature of these carbonates and rims is disputed. hIcKay et al. [1] suggest a low 

temperature of formation consistent with co-existing biological activity. while Harvey and h1cSween [2] infer a much higher temperature, inconsistent with biological 

activity. 

We measured the trace element contents and the Fe-XANES spectra of a fragment 

of a carbonate globule antl a fragment of dark rim material from ALH84001 in an 

effort to understand the origin antl formation conditions of the carbonate and the 

rim and their relationship to one another. \Ve determined the elenient/Fe ratios for 

S, CI, Ca, Ti, Cr, hln, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga. Ge. Se. Br. Sr, Y, antl Zr at 5 spots on a 

rim sample and 6 spots on the carbonat,e globule sample. Individual 10 micron spot 

analyses of each sample show nearly order-of-magnitiitle variability of S, CI. Ga. and 

Br to Fe ratios, indicating that the most volatile elements in both the carbonate 

and the rim are distributed quite inhomogeneous at the 10 micron scale. However. 

the average element/Fe ratios of the rirri antl the globiile are intlistinguisliable. 

within analysis errors. suggesting the rirn material coiiltl be derived from the globnlc 

material by a closed system alteration process. 

An important, question is the degree to which the carbonate globules antl rims, 

which are found along cracks in ALH84001, have been contaminated tliiring their 

residence on the Earth. Larigenauer antl Krahenbiihl [3] have tlenionstratetl that dl 

of the Antarct,ic meteorites they examined showed ncvtr surface enrichrrients in the 

halogens, attribiitetl to contamination while thr nieteorit,es resitletl on the Antarctic 

ice. The CI/Br ratio iri the carbonate globule and rim samples we measured is about 

10,000. almost two ortlers-of-magnitiitle higher than that found in Antarctic ice 

[.I]. suggesting these samples have not been significantly contaniinatetl by halogens 

while in the A+\ntarctic. This may indicate that the carbonates arid rims from the 

interior of ALH84001 have exnrriencetl little contarninat ion tlurina their residence 

in .Antarctica. 

The Fe-XXNES spectra of the rim and the globule are identical. within errors, arid 

consistent nith that of Fe hound in carbonate. Although TEA1 esariiinat ion of the 

rini samples tlescribetl by NcKay et al. [l] indicates the rirn contains magnetite, 

Fe-sulfide antl llg-carbonate. Fe bound in carbonate dominates the Fe-X:\NES 

spectrum of the rini sample analyzed in this work.

We have begun experiments to determine the microdistribution of the moderately 

volatile trace element zinc in chondrules from primitive meteorites. Chondrules are 

a major, millimeter-size structural component of the chondritic meteorites, the most 

abundant class of meteorites. Information on the microdistribution of zinc is important to the understanding of the geochemical behavior of zinc in chondrules, 

which is not well known, and for interpreting the published bulk zinc contents of 

chondrules in the context of various scenarios of meteorite formation. We use the 

X-ray Microprobe at beamline X26A to measure the zinc content and an electron 

microprobe to characterize the sample mineralogy and bulk composition. The meteorites to be studied include Allende, Murchison, Semarkona, and several other 

primitive chondrites. 

Traditionally, the bulk zinc content of individual chondrules has been measured 

by neutron activation analysis. In our preliminary work we have profiled the spatial 

distribution of zinc in chondrules by exploiting the better than 10-ppm sensitivity 

and better than 25-micrometer spatial resolution of the X-ray Microprobe at beamline X-26A. We measure the zinc content at points along a line starting in the host 

matrix and traversing the diameter of the chondrule. 

In four Allende chondrules examined thus far, zinc occurs mainly in silicates 

and to only a limited extent in metal and sulfides. Moreover, both zinc and iron 

concentrations show clear positive gradients running from the core to the edge of 

the chondrule. This trend indicates that bulk zinc contents of chondrules, as are 

typically measured using neutron activation techniques, do not provide a complete 

picture of the zinc behavior in these chondrules. The zinc gradient from the core to 

the edge is consistent with diffusion of zinc into the chondrules after formation. At 

present we favor the interpretation that most of the zinc entered these chondrules 

after their solidification as a result of interaction with the surrounding zinc-rich 

matrix. If so, then measured bulk zinc contents of chondrules in Allende represent 

only upper limits on the compositions of the chondrules immediately after their 

formation. It follows that the zinc contents at the chondrule interiors offer the best 

hope of learning the initial chondrule compositions, and constraining the conditions 

under which the chondrules formed. 

Our experimental results require confirmation through further analyses of chondrules from Allende and other primitive meteorites. The technique employed is also 

applicable to the moderately volatile elements Cu and Ge, and we plan to extend our study of the spatial distribution and abundances of moderately volatile elements 

in chondrules to these elements as well. 

Chlorides and other halides undermine passive oxides and result in localized corrosion of many metals including stainless steels. Once initiated, continued corro- sion depends on maintaining the presence of high concentrations of halide corrosion 

products within the localized corroding site. Hence, both the chemistry and mass 

transfer processes in pits are extremely important. The halide concentration in a pit is balanced between increases associated with metal dissolution (causing ionic 

migration into the pit), and diffusion out of the pit. In many cases the concentration attains saturation and a salt layer forms at the metal surface. In situ x-ray 

microprobe scans across the stainless steel/chloride solution interface in a working electrochemical cell has shown that the salt layer formed was of the order of 

a micrometers thick and depleted in chromium giving a distinct Fe/Cr maximum. 

Chloride fluorescence was too weak to penetrate the thin plastic windows and additions of bromide were made to act as a halide marker. Bromide fluorescence 

intensity gave a maximum intensity just below the region where the Fe/Cr maximum was observed. These results suggest that the salt layer is composed of two 

layers, an outer chromium depleted ferrous halide layer and an inner layer richer in 

Br, having a cation stoichiometry of the stainless steel.

An in situ study of t.he chemistry that develops in pits during localized of corrosion 

of stainless steel in chloride solutions has been carried out using energy dispersive 

x-ray techniques. An artificial pit was used to maintain a one dimensional diffusion 

geometry by clissolving back the cross section of a strip of Type 316 stainless steel 

foil mounted in epoxy resin. A high intensity 8 mm diameter polychromatic x-ray 

beam at Beamline x26A was scanned across the steel, a salt layer on the steel. arid 

t.he concentrated dissolution products within the artificial pit. It was previously 

conclnded that the salt layer on the steel was fornied mainly by iron chloride, 

and the other metallic elements were present in significantly lower concentrations 

relative to the concentration in the steel. In order to obtain more information of the 

behavior of the halide anion. a fraction of the chloride was replaced with bromide. 

The fluorcsence of this heavier element could be detected whereas the less energetic 

charactcrist,ic x-rays from chlorine which were absorbed by the thin plastic window 

of the cell. Figure 1 shows the x-ray intensities of Fe and Br across the interface 

forrricd between the dissolving steel antl the concentrated dissolved products in the 

pit solution. Also shown is the ratio of the Fe/Cr intensity. The high valiics for 

the Br indicate that a salt layer is present over a range of about 0.015 mni. The 

rriaxirniim in the Fe/Cr ratio indicates that a salt layer n-ith a different composition 

is fornictl ac1,jncent to the solution arid is aboiit 0.006 mni. The results contrast with 

earlier conclusions where the peak in the Fc/Cr ratio was corisitlerctl to be the only 

salt layer present. The present results siiggest a duplex salt layer having a cat,ion 

coiicctitration similar to that of the steel antl a high ferrous halide layer ;xclj;xcent, to 

tlic soliltion.

The Port of NY/NJ is naturally shallow and, as a result, dredging is required 

in order to ensure the economic viability of the Port. Port operations contribute 

some 20,000.000,000 dollars and about 200.000 jobs to the regional economy. Loss 

of shipping volume to other ports could thus have a major impact on the regional 

environment and its prosperity. 

The total volume of tlreclgetl material generated each year is on the order of 

2,000,000 to 6,000,000 cubic yards. A ma,jor portion of the material is contarniriatetl with organic antl inorganic cornpounds which render it unacceptable for 

ocean disposal. Several alternate disposal methods arc now being utilized including 

iise of borrow pits, confined disposal facilities, solitlification/stabilizatiori followed 

by upland disposal. In addition, removal of contaminants using phvsical/chemical

is of great interest.

Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy and Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence in the Study Of the Variation in Metal Content with Time in 

Tree Rings * 

R. Martin, T. K. Sham (U. Western Ontario, Canada), K. Jones (BNL), and R. 

Protz (U. of Guelph, Canada) 

The study of tree ring patterns, dendrochronology, is a well-established discipline 

which has been used as a measure of climate variation and other environmental 

events. Dendrodated tree rings provide ideal sources for radiocarbon calibration. 

Ring patterns have even been used to study the prehistoric transportation of construction beams. 

Analysis of the metal content of tree rings (dendroanalysis or dendrochemistry) 

has the potential both for identifying pollution events such as metal contamination 

from mining operations and for providing a long-term chronology of the kinetics of 

metal deposition and uptake. 

Dendroanalysis must be treated with caution since the mechanism of metal deposition in tree rings is poorly understood. Such questions as the mode and kinetics of 

metal accumulation in trees as well as the possibility of lateral migration of metals 

with wood have yet to be satisfactorily addressed. Contradictory results appear in 

the literature. It seems unlikely that the questions posed regarding the usefulness 

of dendrochemistry will be easily answered. Resolution of the contradictions may 

depend on obtaining answers to questions on whether or not selected elements are 

mobile in the soil, air, or the wood itself, or if mobility is concentration dependent. 

We have begun an initial investigation of the topic by carrying out measurements 

on specimens from the Northern Black Spruce, Picea mariana, growing in peat in 

the Hudson Bay Lowlands. These samples were selected because good data exist on 

the local soil chemistry and the tree rings are very narrow (of the order of 0.16 mm) 

because of harsh growing conditions in the form of a short season and low nutrient 

availability. 

The experimental approach has been to apply microbeam analytical methods 

based on secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and synchrotron-radiation induced x-ray emission (SRIXE) to measure metal distributions as a function of radial 

distance on the wood samples. The two methods have complementary aspects in 

terms of the sample preparation and the volume of material analyzed. 

Results from the two methods show a seasonal pattern for elements such as potassium, calcium, iron, and manganese, with maximum uptake generally at the 

beginning of the growing season. The patterns are of a nature that suggests that a significant fraction of each of these species is localized with individual growth 

rings and that if they are diffusing at all, it is at a rate that preserves the local 

enhancement for periods of at least a century.

Energy-Selective Fluorescence Mapping of Zinc in Zebrafish EmI I

Zinc has long been recognized to be an essential element in embryonic development. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos have been reported to contain large amounts 

of zinc at the time of fertilization, approximately 1 mM [Berg, personal communication]. XANES measurements on whole embryos at various stages during early 

development have shown significant changes in the bulk zinc environment. Using 

the NSLS X-ray microprobe at X26A, we have performed energy-selective, twodimensional maps with 45x40 um2 resolution on zebrafish embryos at four separate 

stages spanning the first eight hours after fertilization (1-cell, 128-cell, high, and 

75% epiboly). Analysis of these maps will allow us to determine the spatial and 

temporal changes of different zinc environments that give rise to the changes we have observed in the XANES measurements on the whole embryo. Characterization of these changes will aid in our ability to define the role of different types of 

zinc environments in embryogenesis.

The family Picornaviridae includes the genera Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Aphthovirus, Cardiovirns and Hepatovirus. Each genus contains pathogenic species 

causing a bewildering array of disease syndromes in humans and animals. In contrast to the diversity of diseases caused by picornaviruses. the molecular mechanisms by which these viruses replicate appear to be similar. Poliovirus, which 

belongs to the genus Enterovirus is one of the best studied viruses among the picornaviruses antl can be considered as the prototype picornavirus in many aspects. 

The non-enveloped icosahedral capsid of poliovirns contains one molecule of singlestranded positive-sense RNA of 7.5 kb. Dnring infection, the RNA is translated 

into one polyprotein which is co- antl posttranslationally processed to give rise of 

niore than 20 fiinctional proteins. The structural proteins are the building blocks of 

the progeny virions. The non-structural proteins inclndc three proteinases responsible for polyprotein processing. hIost non-striictiiral proteins are involved in RNA 

replication. Among them, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 3Dpol is the best 

stntlietl protein. Genetic analysis arid the iisc of specific inhibitors have revealed 

that protein 2C is reqnired for RNA replication, The function of 2C in regard to 

RNA4 replication is not known. Several properties of 2C have been tlenionstratetl: 

RNA binding, ATPasc/GTPase activity, and membrane association. It has been 

proposed that 2C may belong to the snperfaniily I11 of RNA lielicases. However, 

no hrlicasc activity of 2C lins yet tieen deruonstratcd. Protein scqncrice coriiparison rc~~enlctl a conserved cysteine-rich region in the COOH terminns of protein 2C 

of entero- antl rhinovirnses. In poliovirns, the sequence is: 269 CKNCHQPANFKRCCPLVC 286. The pattern of cysteine (C) resitlnes in the cysteine-rich region 

rcwniblc,s tlie pattern of the C2C2 type zinc finger motif. In C2C2 type zinc fingers fonr C resitliies bintl one zinc ion by coordination. Zinc finger motifs have 

Iiccn shown to nietliate the biiitling of a protein with nucleic acids, proteins, or 

lipids. Llcthylation of poliovirns protein 2C with iotloacetaniitle revealed that the 

C residncs are available for methylation and thus neither oxidized nor involved in 

disiilfitle bonds in the infected cell. \Ye are using synchrotron x-ray Huorescence in 

order to find out whether the cysteine-rich region of poliovirns 2C contains zinc. Either full length 2C or the cysteine-rich region of 2C are expressed as fnsion proteins 

with glutathione S-transferase (GST) in E. coli. The fnsion proteins are affinity 

piirifictl using glutathione-charge~l Sepharose beads (Pharrnacia. Uppsala, Smctlcn). 

Purified proteins are spotted and dried under vacnnm on AP1 membranes (Process Xnalytics. Orern. Utah. USX). The nieasnrements are done on the X2GX x-ray 

microprobe beam line. Preliniinary resnlts indicate that the cysteine-rich region 

contains zinc. The same region in which all cysteines have been replaced by scrines. contains approximately fonr times less zinc. IVe are cnrrently determining the 

sonrces of zinc antl other metal ions by nieasiiring relative metal concentrations in 

bacterial ciilture media and buffer solutions nsetl during protein purification. This 

will allow ns to express and purify CST fusion proteins under defined relative nietal 

concentrations leading to a more accurate determination of zinc content in GST 

fusion proteins expressed in E. coli.

Alginate gel beads are used to immobilize cells for a number of fermen- tation 

processes. The suitability of the immobilisation technique depends on the micrcscopical gel strength. For alginate the above property depends on the calcium 

distribution. In fact. calcium is the gelling -inducing agent in alginate systems. 

15% investigated gel beads as large as 0.7 mm with a resolution of 20 microns. the 

data obtained showed that calcium is not homogeneously distributed across bead 

sections exhibiting the highest concentration at the bead surface. In addition to 

this, rnicrobeads obtained in different calcium concentration conditions were investigated to get information about the influence of the calcium concentration on the 

ion distribntion into gel. The experimental data were compared with theoret- tical 

expectations obtained by means of mathematical models of gel formation. Beads 

obtained in the presence of two different divalent cations were also investigated in 

order to stndy the infliience of it second cation on the calcium distribution. Preliminary investigations on ion content and distribution in Lichens mere per fornietl 

with the aim to cvaliiatc these organisms as biological sensors for en vironniental 

pollution detection. 

SRIXE was also nsed for stntlies on both porcine articular cartilage antl hnman 

antl porcin osteonic bone. As far its articular cartilage is concerned, snlfiir (as snlfate 

ester) is a minor component of the proteoglycans present in cartilage. In a first set 

of experiments snlfiir tlistribntiori was studied iii samples of tiabi tnally loaded and 

habitnally nnloarletl art,iciilar cartilage. In the loatletl tissues, snlfiir concentration 

increased regnlarly from the articular surface to the sub- chondral hone while in the 

nnloatletl cart,ilages snlfiir concentration gained its maxirrinrri in tlie central part of 

the sample. These data provctl that protcoglycan concentra- tion is not a parameter 

which could infliiencc the laminar appearance of articular cartilage. In a second set 

of aperirncnts, snlfiir tlistrilintion was stntlietl as a probe of a de novo synthesis of 

proteoglycans by isolated choritlrocytes implanted in an alginate gel in experirnental 

chontlritl rlefccts. A necr-synthesis of proteoglycans tlnring the repair of cartilage was

I Reduction Of Soil Mn Oxides During XANES Studies I X26A I 

D.S. Ross, H. C. Hales (U. of Vermont), and G. Shea-McCarthy (U. of Chicago) 

Soil Mn oxide surfaces are important sites for the redox reactions of other metals 

and organics. XANES spectroscopy is a useful tool for understanding soil Mn oxide 

behavior. However, sample preparation may affect results. Drying a soil lowers 

its capacity to oxidize added Cr(II1) and increases extractable Mn(II), strongly 

suggesting drying-induced oxide reduction. To avoid the effects of drying, we wished 

to examine moist soil samples with XANES spectroscopy. Preliminary studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of x-ray beam exposure on the Mn oxidation 

state of moist, high-Mn soils. Repeated scans were obtained on one spot using 

normal analytical conditions. For most soils studied, the absorption edge moved 

about 1 eV lower within three to four scans. For example, Figure 1 shows repeated scans (35 minutes in length) of a moist, high-Mn soil from Charlotte, Vermont. 

This same soil showed continuous reduction during ten repeated 8-minute scans. It 

is interesting to note that, contrary to expectations, dried samples of high-Mn soils were as or more oxidized than their moist counterparts. Research will continue to 

ascertain the exact cause of the reduction and possible methodologies to avoid it.

X26A Role of Manganese and Associated Trace Element Chemistry in 

Plant Diseases * 

D. G. Schulze, C. A. Guest, I. A. Thompson, A. Scheinost, and D. M. Huber 

(Purdue U.) 

The redox chemistry of soil manganese plays an important role in Mn uptake 

by plants, the movement through soil of trace elements absorbed on or occluded 

in Mn-oxide minerals, and the etiology of some soil-borne plant fungal diseases. 

We are using micro x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy on beamline X26A to study Mn redox chemistry in situ, both in bulk soils and in the 

rhizosphere of live plants. Our work this year has focussed on: (1) detecting and 

quantifying Mn2+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ in mixed systems, (2) correlating sequential 

chemical extraction of Mn with changes in the Mn K XANES spectra of soils, 

and (3) developing techniques for using micro-XANES spectroscopy to measure Mn 

oxidation state in the rhizosphere of live plants growing in soils. 

XANES spectroscopy of mixtures of MnS04 (Mn2+), a Mn-substituted goethite 

(Mn3+), and a synthetic Na-birnessite (Mn4') show that the crest of the x-ray absorption edge for Mn3+ occurs between the crest for Mn2+ and Mn4+, as expected. 

We are attempting to develop approaches for quantifying Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ 

in these mixed systems. 

NH4-acetate, CuSO4, hydroquinone, and dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate were used 

to sequentially extract increasingly less soluble fractions of manganese from the 

surface horizon of a soil cropped to wheat. A XANES spectrum of the soil paste 

was obtained after each step. Initial data analysis suggests a sizable presence of 

Mn3+ in the sample. 

Sample cells are being developed to measure XANES spectra in the vicinity of 

live plant roots growing in soils. We are still testing and evaluating various designs.

U.) 

The goal of this work is to apply electron and x-ray microprobe techniques to the 

individual Pbbearing particles in natural and treated contaminated soils in order 

to obtain detailed information on mineral associations, elemental associations, and 

speciation of Pb. To date, we have applied this approach to a Pb-contaminated soil 

from Oakland CA. The particles consist of mineral fragments and aggregates at the 

1-10 micron scale. The analysis procedure was to obtain an electron microphotograph of a 200x200 micron region of the mount, analyze 20 particles at rantloin 

within this area by electron probe and then obtain trace element measurements and 

Pb L XANES on these same particles using the x-ray microprobe. 

The electron probe results showed that about half of the particles in the 1- 10 micron size range are "pure phases" antl about half are aggregates. In the raw soil, 

Pb occurred in both pure phases antl aggregates. Initial, correlated synchrotron 

XRF (SXRF) and Pb LIII XANES measiireineiits were made on some of these particles using Kirkpatrick- Baez niicrofociising mirrors recently installed at X26A (see 

accompanying abstract). Xleaningful XAFS stlitlies (i.e., on pure phases) requires 

analyses at the micrometer scale which \vas only possible iisirig the KB mirrors. The 

figure below shows one such result for particle 9 (5 micrometers) from the untreated 

soil. Electron probe results shoivetl this particle to be dominated by Pb with minor 

Si antl Ti. The SXRF spectrum shows many other elements are also prcserit at 

trace levels. The Pb XANES spectriirii is qualitatively similar to that of rrietallic 

Pb. Detailed data analyses are in progress.

Elevated concentrations on selenium in agricultural drainage waters in the western San Joaquin Valley of California have been responsible for wildlife deaths and 

deformities in wetlands receiving such contaminated waters. An algal- bacterial 

treatment process has been developed by the Applied Algal Research Group, to 

remove Se from agricultural drainage waters. Knowledge of the speciation of Se 

among its possible oxidation states is important since its mobility and toxicity are very dependent on its chemical form. The forms of Se accumulated in the reducing 

algal slurries have not previously been identified by direct methods. In this investigation, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy was used to 

determine oxidation states of selenium in algal slurry samples obtained from laboratory chemostats. The XANES of model compounds (elemental Se, seleno-cystine, 

Se-methionine, sodium selenite, and sodium selenate) were collected for later comparison with algal slurry samples. The XANES of two algal slurry samples showed 

that Se, which was originally primarily in the +VI oxidation state in drain waters, was reduced to organo-Se and elemental Se forms. Linear combination fits with Secystine (R-se-se-R) XANES as the dominant component (best fits with 65the two 

samples), with secondary contributions from Se(O), provided the closest matches 

to the spectra of algal slurries. Air-drying resulted in algal slurry XANES which 

were better fit with increased proportions of elemental Se (35and 50algal slurries occurs as a mixture of several organo-Se forms and Se(0). Inclusion of additional 

model compounds in future comparisons will be useful. The best fit compositions 

reported here should only be interpreted as showing that Se(V1) was reduced to a 

mixture comprised primarily of organo-Se forms, with a smaller fraction as Se(0). 

In future studies, we will examine XANES of algal slurries at various stages along 

the drainwater treatment process. 

Selenium Diffusion and Reduction at the Water-sediment Boundary I X26A 

T.K. Tokunaga (LBNL), S.R. Sutton, G. Shea-McCarthy (U. Chicago), S. Bajt 

(LLNL), and P. Nuessle (U. Georgia) 

Mechanistic understanding of trace element cycling between surface waters 

and sediments can require highly spatially-resolved information at water-sediment 

boundaries, especially when reactions are involved. Such fine-scale information 

is not obtainable by conventional sampling and analytical methods. This study 

demonstrates the application of micro- X-ray absorption near edge structure (microXANES) spectroscopy for obtaining such direct, in-situ, spatially- and temporallyresolved information for selenium. The experiments determined the fate of soluble 

Se(V1) ponded over water-saturated sediments under two different conditions, one oxidizing and the other reducing. One sediment system was maintained oxidizing 

by the presence of excess nitrate, while the reducing sediment was nitrate-deficient 

and amended with organic matter. Redox conditions were monitored in each system 

via arrays of Pt microelectrodes. Scanning micro-XANES analyses showed Se(V1) 

removal from ponded waters by diffusion into sediments. The oxidizing system ex- hibited purely diffusive transport, without Se reduction. The diffusion profiles were 

well-matched by a finite-difference numerical simulation. In the reducing sediment, 

Se(V1) was transformed to insoluble Se(0) without significant formation of the intermediate Se(1V). Zones of accumulation of insoluble Se(0) were heterogeneously 

distributed. These results show that the scale over which volume averaging of chemical species is performed at sediment-water boundaries must be selected carefully, 

and that the spatial resolution offered by micro-XANES is well-suited for these 

types of investigations. By combining our measurements on these hydrostatic systems with seepage rates characteristic of ponded sediments at Kesterson Reservoir 

(California), we obtain model predictions of Se distributions in sediments which are consistent with field data from that contaminated wetland. 
Electromigration-induced Stress hleasured by Real-time X-Ray Microdifiact ion 

G. S. Cargill 111, P.-C. Wang (Columbia U.), I. C. Noyan, C.-K. Hu (IBh4 Research) 

White beam Laue microdiffraction with a Si(Li) detector has been used for strain 

measurements on passivated aluminum conductor lines with 10 microns spatial resolution. Real-time measurements were made of strains developed during electromigration using a symmetrical reflection geometry to take advantage of the (111) 

fiber texture of the aluminum films. On-chip tungsten pads were used as "internal" 

diffraction standards to correct for angular or energy calibration shifts during the 

experiments. By measuring differences in d-spacings with time at many locations 

along 200 micron long lines, the strains developed during electromigration could 

be measured with greater precision than the absolute d-spacings. The precision of 

the individual d-spacing measurements was limited by uncertainties in diffraction 

angles, since only a few grains diffracted into the detector aperatiire at each location 

along the line. An example of the d-spacing changes at different locations along a 

conductor line caused by passing 1.4 x 10" i2/cm2 through the line at 260°C for 

nine hours is shown in Fig. 1, together with the biaxial stresses in grain boundaries 

detluced from the d-spacings. Values of the stress gradients, e.g. the slope of the 

clashed line in Fig. 1, were determined for different current densities antl times, antl 

these are shown as data points in Fig. 2. together with resiilts from rnotlel calculations which are shown ils lines for three different values assumed for the effective 

diffusion coefficient D,f,f. Coot1 agreement is obtained for the intermediate value 

of D,ff. Electromigration-intlucetl strain measurements arc continuing for other 

line lciigths arid widths, for other conductor line metals antl alloys, and for other 

passivations.

I X26C Beamline Upgrades for Protien Crystalography lx26C I 

G. Shea-hlcCarthy (U. of Chicago) 

The X2GC protien crystallography program has been expanded to include new 

PRT members from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the University of Stony 

Brook. In a collaborative effort with BNL Biology, NSLS RD and Univ. of Chicago 

BioCARS, the X26C beamline has undergone numerous upgrades. 

These upgrades were inclusive of the installation of a water cooled Si(ll1) 

monochromator, white beam stop, photon shutter and double exit berillium window. 

These improvements involved moving the 1:l focusing mirror further downstream, 

clecoupling the X2GC beampipe from the X26A hutch and upgrading lead shielding. 

This hutch now has the ability to accept a wide white beam (40nim wide x 6mm 

high), focused white, direct monochromatic, or focused monochromatic beam. 

In addition to mechanical upgrades, a LIAR detector system has also been installed. Although the BioCARS Fuji scanner is still available for use, the LIAR detector has the advantage of using a single image plate which is scanned and erased 

in a compact pre-aligned unit. The computer system for controlling the X26C 

beamline has also been upgraded to accomotlate the MAR. Two Silicon Graphic 

Indigo I1 workstations arid oue Pentiiim Pro have been installed to support the 

hIAR software, GRACE (motor control program), and IDL. 

Currently a new lift table is also being constructed to support the hlAR. Future 

upgrades will include the addition of a Kappa-goniostat antl a better mirror. The 

existing niirror is coated with Platiniim with a high energy cutoff of 11.56 Kev. The 

possibility of recoating the mirror with Rhodium is being considerctl. The Kappagoniastat will permit arbitrary orientation of the sample and two theta inclination 

of the detector. The new goniometer orientation will also provide a much longer 

crystal to detector distance, up to one meter. 
I X-ray Crystallographic Structure of Aminopeptidase from S. griseus I X26C I 

G. Shoham (SUNY at Stony Brook, & Hebrew U., Israel) 

Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (SGAP) is one of the many enzymes that are present in the extracellular fluid of cultures of this bacterium. It is relatively 

small (30 kDa), monomeric, heat stable, requires two zinc atoms for activity, and 

is activated by calcium. The heat stability of the enzyme affords relatively simple 

isolation from the rest of the enzymes found in Pronase. The enzyme is specific 

for large hydrophobic amino acids. No cleavage occures if the following residue 

is proline. These properties make the enzyme an attractive tool for use in two 

stage assays of other peptidases in diagnistic applications. Low molecular weight, 

heat stable aminopeptidases like SGAP were proposed as tools for biotechnological 

applications in processing recombinant DNA proteins and fusion protein products. 

The X-ray crystal structure of SGAP has been recently determined by a combination of diffraction studies from both synchrotron and rotating anode X-ray data. 

The native, double-zinc form of the enzyme has been determined to 1.75A resolution, the apo-enzyme (zinc removed) has been detrmined to 2.1A resolution, and the 

mercury replaced enzyme has been determined to 2.OA resolution. Data collected on the X26C beamline at BNL/NSLS was especially critical recently in the extention 

of the structure of the native enzyme to higher resolution as well as to determine 

the structure of the enzyme with a substrate analoge. This information is unique 

and extremely important for the determination of the, still unknown, mechanism of 

catalysis of SGAP as well as other double zinc enzymes. 

The protein consists of a central beta-sheet made up of 8 parallel and antiparallel 

strands, surrounded by helices on either side. The active site is located at the 

carbonyl ends of two middle stards of the beta-sheet region. The active site contains 

two zinc cations, each with similar similar ligands, at a distance of 3.6A from each 

other. A calcium binding site has been identified, consistent with the observations 

that calcium modulates the activity of the enzyme. The mechanism by which the 

calcium cation affects enzyme activity is not apparent, since it is located about 25A 

from the zinc atoms of the active site. This and other mechanistic issues of SGAP 

are now under study.

Time-resolved Laue Crystallographic Studies of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 

B. L. Stoddard, J. Bolduc, D. Dyer (FHCRC), W. G. Scott (MRC), M. Brubaker, 

B. Cohen, A. Mesecar, D. Koshland (UC Berkeley), R.M. Sweet (NSLS) 

Obtaining detailed atomic structural information about intermediate states along an enzyme reaction pathway is problematic, because the lifetime of these intermediates are generally several orders of magnitude shorter that the time necessary for 

collection of a complete data set. Several promising methods are currently being 

pursued to overcome this limitation. These include the use of cryological temperatures to physically trap specific intermediate states, chemical trapping, and the 

development of Laue diffraction as a method to decrease the time needed to collect 

high resolution data sets from protein crystals. 

In the previous year we demonstrated the possibility of using site-directed mutagenesis for crystallographic visualization, by trapping specific reaction intermediates 

formed by isocitrate dehydrogenase in a steady-state complex (Bolduc, et al. (1995) 

Science 268: 1312; Stoddard et al. (1996) Nature Struct. Biol. 3 (7): 590). We now report time-resolved visualization of the rate-limited intermediate complex formed 

by the wild-type enzyme. For this experiment, single-turnover events were triggered throughout the crystal using flash-photolysis of a variety of caged substrate 

and caged cofactor molecules, and data was collected on a millisecond time-scale. 

Clear difference Fourier maps were produced of the enzymic complex when a caged 

triggering molecule was used that binds in the active site prior to photolysis. 
X26C X-ray Topogaphy and Reciprocal Space hhpping of Protein Crystals 

V. Stojanoff (ESRF, France), T. Boggon, J. Helliwell (U. hlanchester, England), 

and E. Snell (NASA) 

A variety of protein crystals were studied using triple-axis diffractometry and 

monochromatic beam topography. Both space-grown and earth-grown crystals were 

studied in order to shed light on the potential benefits or otherwise of zero-gravity 

crystal growth. The experimental arrangement consisted of an unfocussed beam 

monochromatized by a silicon (111) monochromator, together with a six-circle goniometer. The instrument was operated as a triple-axis spectrometer using a 2- 

reflection channel-cut analyzer. Diffraction spots to be analyzed were chosen from 

the resolution shell around 3.5 angstroms, so as to minimize any smearing effects 

clue to wavelength dispersion. Using this setup it was possible to seperate the effects 

of mosaic spread and tl-spacing variations. Indexing of the patterns was achieved 

by collecting one rotation frame on an imaging plate and indexing the resulting 

pattern using Denzo. The crystals studied showed a wide range of behaviours, from 

extremely sharp patterns in both directions of reciprocal space, to very ill-defined 

peaks broad in both directions. Topographic images were then collected at several 

points on the omega rocking curve to trv and learn something about the nature of 

the defects giving rise to these properties.

Turkey Egg White Lysozyme (TEWL) crystals grown under various conditions 

and containing various impurity levels were studied using monochromatic beam 

diffraction. Rocking curves were measured and high-resolution diffraction images 

recorded on film. The diffraction order was identified by recording a single oscilation 

diffraction pattern on a Fuji image plate. The indexing and integration of this 

pattern was done with the HKL package (Otwinowski, Z. 1993a; Otwinowski, Z. 

1993b; Minor, W. 1993). Preliminary results showed that pure TEWL present 

a full width of half maximum (FWHM) rocking curve of the order of tenths of 

miliarcseconds while TEWL with various impurity levels present rocking curves 

with at least a 10 times higher FWHhI. The topographs taken along the rocking curve are in agreement with this result. hIiiltiple domains can be observed in TEbVL 

crystals with different impurity lavels. It is hoped that this tvpe of stutlv will lead 

to an understanding of the defect structures and mechanisms in macromolecular 

crystals, and thereby lead to improved growth techniques and improved crystal 

structures.

Crystallographic Studies of Biological Macromolecules 

R.-M. Xu (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) 

I X26C I 

We have begun the using the newly installed MAR image plate detector system on 

beamline X26C. Operating in focused monochromatic mode we have been taking 

single crystal crystallography data over the past year. Numerous data sets from 

crystals of proteins, nucleic acids and protein-nucleic acid complexes have been 

collected. These crystallographic projects include structural studies of oligomeric 

proteases, transcriptional regulators, RNA splicing factors, and novel nucleic acid 

structures. Determination of several of these structures is currently on-going, using 

the high resolution and high quality data collected at X26C. 

The x-ray energy for monochromatic x-ray crystallography at X26C is presently 

limited to less than 11.5 kev, due to the platinum coating of the focusing mirror. The 

mirror will have to be re-coated or replaced before the beamline can be seriously used 

for multiple anomalous diffraction experiments, which has become a frequently used 

approach to solve the phase problem in macromolecular crystallography. We hope 

to remedy the the wavelength limitation soon to allow full-fledged macromolecular 

crystallography operation at X26C. 

X27A X-Ray Computed Microtomography of Laser Drilled Holes in Composite Panels for Acoustic Attenuation in Aerostructures 

D. Di Marzio, J. Clarke (Northrup Grumman); J. Ablett, B. Dowd, P. Siddons, B. 

Andrews (BNL) 

Sound attenuation is a major concern in both military and commercial aerostructures. Arrays of microholes drilled into nacelles and other aircraft components can 

effectively muffle engine noise. The use of advanced composite structural materials 

present a new challenge for this sound reduction technology. In this project, an automated laser drilling system is used to produce hole arrays in graphite/bismaleimide 

composite panels. X-ray computed microtomography was used to nondestructively 

characterize the structure of an early trial 3 mil (76 m) diameter laser hole array 

in a 1 mm thick laminate. Figure 1 shows a 7 m thick computed density slice 

taken parallel to the composite panel surface (parallel to fiber lay-up). Light regions correspond to high density (low void content) and dark regions correspond to 

low density (high void regions). Each laser drilled hole (dark circle) is surrounded 

by a dark oval. The long axis of the ovals correspond with the direction of the 

graphite fibers. The fiber direction can be seen as parallel striations throughout 

the image (image corresponds approximately to a one-fiber layer). Surprisingly, the 

high void region (dark oval) induced by the laser drilling is displaced from the hole 

by approximately 100 m along the oval minor axis. Within the ovals are slightly 

darker regions suggesting minor laser damage, while at the edge of the holes the 

density increases. This indicates that at the edge and in the immediate vicinity 

of the hole the local structural integrity of the composite is maintained. We have 

demonstrated that x-ray computed microtomography is a highly effective tool for 

the nondestructive evaluation of processed graphite composite materials.

X-Ray Computed Microtomography Studies on the Biodeterioration 

of Wood * 

B.L. Illman (U. of Wisc. & Forest Products Lab.), B.A. Dowd (BNL), R.Holaday 

(BNL, currently at Spring-8, Japan) 

Fungal degradation of wood structures causes substantial economic loss worldwide. The exact mechanism(s of degradation are not clearly understood. X-Ray 

Computed Microtomography /CMT) is being used to characterize incipient structural changes that occur during the wood degradation process. Microstructures in 

solid woocl were clearly delineated in ChIT images with a resolution of 3 microns 

(Figure 1). The CMT images show well-defined spatial and size distribution of wood 

fibers. A quantitative measure of the internal microstructure of wood was obtained 

using the medial axis formalism developed by W.B. Lindquist [ 11. Measurements were made of the microgeometry of wood structures to determine the pore spaces 

(porosity) and connected walls (connectivity) of wood fibers. Preliminary calculations of connectivity curves show that porosity and connectivity of the structures 

in wood can be measured to quantify changes in wood microstructure that occur 

during degradation.

I Microtomography of a Boreal Forest Insect * I X27A I 

B.L. Illman (U. of Wisconsin, Madison, and Forest Products Lab.); B.A. Dowd 

(NSLS), R. Holaday (presently at Spring-8), and B. Andrews (BNL) 

Computed microtomography (CMT) has been used to image one of the most 

damaging insects affecting North American boreal forests. The spruce bark beetle, 

Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby) has reached epidemic proportions in forests of 

Alaska. The beetle's ability to exploit the forest resource is augmented by their 

pheromonally mediated cooperative behavior, and their associations with microbial 

symbionts. The insect - microorganism complex is responsible for a disease on 

Alaskan trees that has killed over a million acres of trees. The goal is to use ChIT to 

better understand the internal microstructure of the beetle and the vectoring system 

used by the insect to transport microorganisms into trees. Especially important is 

the nature and location of beetle - symbiont fungi. Tree - bark beetle - fungal 

systems offer an opportunity to evaluate the effects of ecological interactions across miiltiple spatial and temporal scales, across multiple trophic levels, and among 

diverse taxa. Understanding these relationships could greatly improve our ability 

to evaluate and devise appropriate forest management practices, and anticipate the 

impacts of multiple abiotic, biotic, and anthropocentric stresses. The ChIT images 

provide information about the juxtaposition of circulatory. respiratory, cytoskeleton, 

and density-determined regions in the beetle.

I Applications of Computed Microtomography * I X27A I 

K. W. Jones, B. Dowd, B. Andrews, A. M. Peskin, and P. Siddons (BNL) 

We have carried out several exploratory investigations of applications of synchrotron computed microtomography (CMT). The work has been done at the X27A 

CMT facility. The equipment provides the capability of measuring tomographic volumes with 10' to lo9 voxels with spatial resolutions down to about 3 micrometers. 

Four applications are described below. 

1. The microstructure of fractures in rocks is important for understanding of fluid 

transport calculations for petroleum recovery or for transport of pollutants. We are now working on the characterization of a fracture in a 1.3 cm diameter rock. Initial 

data have been obtained with a resolution of about 10 micrometers. Measurements 

will also be made using a laser or direct mechanical profiler on the surfaces of the 

separated rock in order to verify the tomographic results. 

2. CMT is being used to determine the microgeometry of sediments taken from 

the Port of NY/NJ. The sediments are basically a gel with a solids content of 

about 35sizes less than 3 micrometers. We are making measurements to determine 

the structure of the particles on the grain-size scale. The results will be used to 

construct models for the sediments which can be used as the basis for calculations 

of contaminant transport through the sediments. Experiments to measure fluid 

transport through the sediments will be initiated shortly. 

Measurements have been made on glass fragments under study at Pacific 

Northwest National Laboratory for use in radioactive waste disposal. CMT provides a non-destructive analytical method for following degradation of the glass surfaces 

resulting to interaction with fluids. Initial results were encouraging and have given 

insights into improved methods for design of the reaction chamber used in exposing 

3. 

theglass to the-liquid. 

4. Measurements of structures in organic materials are of interest in several fields. 

We have carried out one measurement on polymers using a sample of a standard 

diaper. The polymer structures were clearly resolved and show that CMT should be 

useful in studying the structures of fibers in a variety of applications. For example, 

CMT can be combined with x-ray microbeams and secondary-ion mass spectrometry 

(SIMS) to relate wood morphology to uptake of metals into the growing wood. This 

is being carried out in collaboration with a group from the University of Western 

Ontario.

I X27A I Characterization of Ultra-Light Weight Materials, Porous Metals, 

Using X-Ray Computed Microtomography 

R. Schulte, R. Meilunas, A. Tobin, J. Papazian, T. Donnellan (Northrop Grumman), B.A. Dowd, D.P. Siddons, and B. Andrews (BNL) 

Recent developments in porous materials have demonstrated the potential to 

achieve ultra-light weight metal structures at reduced cost using a solid-gas eutectic solidification process known as the Gasar process. The process is capable of 

producing controlled porosity in metals by influencing the size and shape of pores as 

well as the pore distribution. X-ray computed microtomography provides a means to assess the nature of the porosity of samples produced using the Gasar process. 

Quantitative evaluation of pore distribution, pore size and shape in these materials 

is important since they are key determinants of the mechanical properties. 

Several samples were inspected with X-ray microtomography on the X27A beamline. The figure shows a 3-D volume section of an aluminum alloy sample rendered 

from the X-ray microtomography data. Information about the porosity such as pore shape, size, and distribution are obtained from the tomographic data and will 

be used to develop improved processing methods and models for the production of 

porous metals.

X-Ray Computed Microtomography Study on Pumice

B. A. Dowd, D .P. Siddons, and K. W. Jones (BNL) 

Pumice is highly vesicular silicic to mafic foam, which will commonly float on 

water. It is a common product of explosive volcanic eruptions and an important 

component of many pyroclastic deposits and volcanogenic sediments. However, the 

measurements of physical properties of bubble are still scarce due to the limitation 

of technique. Synchrotron X-ray Computed microtomography can be used to image 

the internal structures and determine non-destructively the physical properties of 

pumice, such as shape, size distribution, deformation of bubble, thickness of bubble 

wall, vesicularity, connectivity, and specific surface area. The shape, size, cleformation, thickness and vesicularity of bubbles are of interest. for example. in studying 

the mechanism of vesiculation and processes of magma degassing. Connectivity 

and specific surface area are important in understanding the floating, interaction 

with water and sedimentary processes. Seven pumice samples with different occurrence from the Changbeishan volcano of northeast China have been obtained 

to test the value of this approach. Initial ChIT images show the well-defined 3D 

bubble shape, size distribution, deformation, connectivity and preferred orientation 

in pumice. i\ typical volume image is shown in the Figure. Further works using 3D 

medial-axis statistic analysis to quantitatively determine the properties of bubbles, 

such as vesicularity, connectivity, size distribution antl specific surface area.

Hsiao and F. Yeh (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Three two-arm poly(ethy1ene oxide) (PEO) fractions have been prepared by a coupling reaction. These PEO possess the same molecular weight of 2100 for each arm and the coupling agents used were para-(1,4-), meta-(1,3-) and orth-(1,2-) benzene tetracarboxylic acids. The two arms at the center of PEO molecules form thus an angle of 180, 120 and 60 degree, respectively. The coupling agents are defects 

at the chain center. They may substantially affect the two-arm PEO overall molecular conformation (OMC) in the crystal state. Differential scanning calorimetry 

results show that two populations of the crystals exist depending upon the crystallization conditions. Although WAXD powder patterns indicate that the fractions 

exhibit the same crystal structure disregarding the different coupling agents used, 

small angle SAXS experiments show two different long spacings corresponding to 

the two populations of the crystals. One of the crystal populations possesses an ex- tended OMC in these two-arm PEO fractions, and one layer of defects is in between 

two neighboring lamellae. Another population of the crystals is consisted of an once-folded OMC. Therefore, two layers of the defects are included in between the 

neighboring lamellae. So the difference of long spacings is caused by the number of 

layers of the defects in these fractions as well as the phenylene group arrangements 

on the lamellar surfaces. The crystal with once-folded OMC represents the ultimate 

stable state compared to the crystal containing the extended OMC. With changing 

the types of linkage of these two-arms from 1,4- to 1,2-positions at the coupling 

agents, the population having the once-folded OMC increases in the samples under 

the same crystallization conditions.

Simultaneous small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD were used to study the crystallization process of polybutylene 

terepthalate 2PBT) semi-crystalline polymers. Three GE commercial grade PBT 

materials, Valox195, Valox315 and Valox420, were chosen to study the impact of 

molecular weight and glass filler under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. A dual-cell jump unit was used to effect crystallization at different crystallization temperatures (Tc). At high Tcs (~1800C), crystallization occurred isothermally 

whereas non-isothermal conditions similar to those encountered in injection molding were obtained at larger supercoolings. Time-resolved SAXS and WAXD data, at 

various degrees of supercooling, revealed respectively the morphological (crystalline 

lamellae) and crystal structure changes as a function of time. 

Fig. 1 shows the long period, the average distance between adjacent lamellae, as a function of nominal isothermal temperatures for three PBT materials. These 

temperatures are equivalent to the wall temperatures in injection molding process. 

The general trend is that the long periods decrease as the degree of supercooling 

increases; in other words, thinner crystalline lamellae are formed at lower molding 

temperatures. At the same wall temperature, both Valox 315 and Valox 420, which 

have comparable molecular weights but are unfilled and 3OValox 195. Fig. 2 shows 

the rate of crystallization (as expressed by l/tc where tc corresponds to the time 

at which the invariant, Q, plateaus out) as a function of nominal isothermal Tcs. 

As expected, lower molecular weight Valox 195 crystallized faster than higher MW 

Valox 315. Valox 420 had the highest crystallization rate, suggesting nucleation by 

the glass filler.

SAXS Studies of Dendrimer Systems 

T. J. Prosa, B. J. Bauer, and E. J. Amis (NIST) 

Two-dimensional small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to probe the 

intermolecular and intramolecular structure within various dendrimer solutions. 

Poly(amidoamine) (PAhIAhI) and poly(propyeneimine) (DAB-dend-(NH*),y) dendrimers were examined in both dilute and concentrated solutions confirming reported results regarding molecular size and shape'. The availibility of increased 

accesible q range and incident flux extended both the quality and range of mea- sured particle scattering curves, revealing additional scattering structure for the 

smaller dentlrimer molecules. 

The scattering from dilute solutions of dendrimers were used to extract the single 

particle scattering factors (P(q)) from denclrimers of various generations, resulting in 

direct information about the molecular size and intramolecular composition of these 

highly branched materials. For most of the larger generation materials (generation 

7 for the PAhIARI tlenclrimers), P(q) has an overall shape that very nearly matches 

the theoretical scattering curve for a constant electron density sphere.

This function has very distinct minima when qR, = &(2n + 1)7r/2 or when 

qR, = 3.650, 6.084, 8.517, 10.951, etc ... These minima are expected to disappear 

quickly when there is sufficient polydispersity in size and/or shape, or whtn the 

overall particle composition departs substantially from that of a hard sphere. In 

order to assess the particle shape of weakly scattering smaller molcciiles (R, 5 25 or generations 5 6), one needs the combination of large accessible q range and high 

X-ray flux which X27C provides. Preliminary results reveal higher order features 

are also present in PAhIAhI tlcndrimers of generations 5 and 6 as well as DABtlentl-(NHz)~~ generation 5, suggesting that these dentlrimers also take on a hard 

sphere shape.

I X27C I Study of Structure and Morphology of PVDF Fibers Under Stress 

Using Synchrotron Radiation 

J. Wu, J. R/I. Schultz (U. Delaware), F. Yeh, and B. Hsiao (SUNY at Stony Brook) 

Poly(viny1idene fluoride) (PVDF) is a widely used piezoelectric material. Four 

crystalline forms of PVDF have been reported. The CY form, or form 11, can be 

prepared by crystallization from the quiescent melt under normal conditions. The 

0 form, or form I, can be prepared by mechanical deformation of CY form. Other 

crystal structures are prepared under special experimental conditions. 

While the film properties of PVDF have been investigated thoroughly, studies on its fiber form are less prevalent. hloreover, the small angle scattering patterns 

of PVDF fibers have rarely been recorded and analyzed with its wide angle patterns. In this study, simultaneous wide angle and small angle x-ray scattering on PVDF fibers, spun under 4 different speeds, under stepincreased strain, were car- ried out. The experiment was performed at Beamline X27c, NSLS. The 2D IAXD 

and SAXS patterns are recorded by FujiT"' HR-V image plates(200x250mm) and 

digitized by a FujiTh' BAS 2000 IP image plate scanner. The drawing unit is based 

on an InstronTA" model 4222. The experiment result will show the effect of strain 

on structural detail. The enclosed figures are from preliminary data analysis showing the crystal structure and the morphology of the nndrawn as well as the fully 

extended fiber spun under 6lm/min. They show the strain indiiced orientation and 

possible crystal structure change.

Synchrotron small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique was used to investigate the behavior of a poly(urethane-urea) film containing segmented hard and 

soft segments under deformation. The film was cast in solvent which showed a 

clear microphase separation without preferred molecular orientation. Under low 

level of deformation ( <loo% strain), the changes in microstructure appears to be 

completely recoverable. The deformation imposes no permanent effect on the equilibrium of microphase separation from the solvent casting. At large deformation ( >loo% strain), the stress-induced molecular orientation in some fractions of the 

microdomains becomes non-recoverable (within the experimental time frame). As a result, after the stretch and relaxation, the recovered microstructure was found to 

contain multiple populations of domains with different molecular orientation. We 

attribute this to the stress-induced chain orientation of the hard segment, which is 

at a new state of dynamic equilibrium.

Effect of Polymer Diulent on The Lamellar Morphology of 

Poly(oxymethy1ene) Blends 

F. Yeh, B. S. Hsiao, B. Chu (SUNY at Stony Brook), and B. Sauer (DuPont) 

Poly(OxyMethy1ene) (POM) and its miscible blends were studied by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The blends contain 

small amount of either poly(viny1 phenol) (PVP) which is a high glass transition 

(T,) diluent, or a polyphenol resin low T, diluent. POM, containing very flexible 

main chain that could easily fold back and forth, is highly a crystalline polymer. 

Results indicated that the low T, polyphenol resin is primarily excluded from the 

lamellar morphology of POM, while the high T, diluent is trapped in the lamellar 

microstructure. The processes of the diulent inclusion and exclusion in the lamellar 

morphology are determined by the lamellar growth rate of the neat polymer and the 

mutual diffusion rate of the constituting components. Finally, we observed that the 

lamellar thickness can be thickened isothermally in both POM neat polymer and 

blends of low T, diluent. No sign of isothermal lamellar thickening can be observed 

in the blends of high T, diulent.
