Figure 9
(a) TWAXS images from Langmuir monolayer of C14F at the air–water meniscus interface against a vertically immersed Si substrate. The monolayer surface pressure was 5 mN m−1, corresponding to the meniscus-edge height of hmax = 3.7 mm. (b) TWAXS images after raising the Si substrate by 4.5 mm, leading to Langmuir–Blodgett deposition of the C14F monolayer onto the substrate. The arrows in the images for h = 3.5 mm indicate the first-order diffraction peak at q = 1.25 Å−1 from the C14F monolayer. The dashed horizontal line separates the images taken above and below the meniscus edge (hmax). The diffuse ring at large angles whose intensity increases with decreasing h arises from the liquid structure factor of the bulk water in the meniscus.
