Abstract:
The structural evolution taking place during CTAB/TEOS based solvent evaporation-induced thin film formation has been followed by in-situ time-resolved SAXS; this shows that the final Pm3n cubic structure is formed via the formation of lamellar and hexagonal intermediate structures within the water rich evaporation regime.
