Diffraction Studies of Glasses, Liquids and Nanoclusters

Description: Amorphous SiO{sub 2} is classically understood as a continuous random network forming glass. Typically amorphous materials possess no translational symmetry, which is the signature of a crystal. Our interest in investigating SiO{sub 2}, grown as a thin film (100, 500 {angstrom}) on Si(001), is to observe how this particular amorphous phase is able to couple to the crystalline substrate and reflect a peculiar degree of order.
