| Welcome
to Sinha Group |
|
| Do you want to know about how the read-head inside your
computer works? To look at new ways to store
hydrogen for the new
hydrogen economy? The
behavior of polymers? These topics and more are investigated by
the Sinha Group, primarily using x-ray and neutron
scattering.
The focus of our
research is the study of the structure and
dynamics of condensed matter. |

Dr. Gutt's paper
Partially Wetting Thin Liquid Films: Structure and Dynamics
Studied with Coherent X Rays was
published as
Phys. Rev. Lett. 99,
096104 (2007). No
dynamics have been observed, showing the absence of capillary
waves on liquid films partially wetting a substrate. A
solid-like behavior of the thin liquid films at large length
scales was found. The exact surface structure and degree of
replication with the substrate depend on the deposition rate of
the molecules. |
