The remarkable material transport takes place at temperatures far (100 K) below the glass transition temperature of the material. As probed by visible light scattering the efficiency of grating formation crucially depends on the polarization state of the laser light and is maximal when circular polarization is used. In contrast to VIS light scattering X-ray diffraction is most sensitive for periodic surface undulations with amplitudes below 10 nm. Thus, combined in-situ X-ray and visible light scattering at CHESS were used to investigate the dynamics of surface relief grating formations upon laser illumination. The time development of grating peaks up to 9th order at laser power of P = 20 mW/cm(2) could be investigated, even the onset of grating formation as a function of light polarization. A linear growth of grating amplitude was observed for all polarizations. The growth velocity is maximal using circularly polarized light but very small for s-polarized light}, language = {en} } @article{HennebergPietschPanzneretal.2006, author = {Henneberg, Oliver and Pietsch, Ullrich and Panzner, Tobias and Geue, Thomas and Finkelstein, Kenneth D.}, title = {Simultaneous X-ray and visible light diffraction for the investigation of surface relief and density grating formation in azobenzene containing polymer films}, issn = {1542-1406}, doi = {10.1080/15421400500383345}, year = {2006}, abstract = {The development of surface relief and density patterns in azobenzene polymer films was studied by diffraction at two different wavelengths.

In contrast to visible light scattering x-ray diffraction allows the separation of a surface relief and a density grating contribution due to the different functional dependence of the scattering power.
