X-ray small-angle scattering under grazing incidence (GISAXS: Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering) is a versatile method for the contact-free determination of the size of vertical and lateral surface structures in the range from a few nanometers up to micrometers. In current fields of research and application such as self-organized nanostructured polymer films as organic photovoltaics...
