Probing Functional Thin Films with Grazing Incidence X-Ray Scattering: The Power of Indexing by Detlef-M. Smilgies

“…Solution-processed thin films are typically uniaxial powders, with a specific crystallographic plane oriented parallel to the substrate surface while ordered domains assume random orientations laterally. The convenient GISAXS/GIWAXS scattering geometry facilitates obtaining complete information about thin film structure as well as the ability to study samples in well-defined sample environments, as controlled by temperature, exposure to solvent vapor and drying, or coating processes. …”

On The Gradability of Metaphor by Bierwiaczonek Bogusław

“…In Section 1 I describe briefly an approach to metaphor from the point of view of the theory of categorization, whereby metaphor is defined in terms of mappings between concepts rather than domains. Section 2 presents the notion and four degrees of conceptual distance between the concepts involved in metaphor based on the subordinate, basic and superordinate levels of categorization. …”
