The complex nanomorphology of a defect-rich deuterated poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate), P(S-b-MMAd), diblock copolymer film is determined with a combination of grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS) and time-of-flight (TOF) mode. TOF-GISANS enables the simultaneous performance of several GISANS measurements that differ in wavelength. The resulting set of GISANS data covers different ranges of the scattering vector and has different scattering depths. Thus surface-sensitive and bulk-sensitive measurements can be performed simultaneously. The P(S-b-MMAd) film exhibits a lamellar microphase separation structure, which because of the defects is arranged into small, randomly oriented grains, composed of four–five lamellar repetitions. In the near-surface region, the lamellar structure is oriented parallel to the substrate, which explains the smooth surface found with atomic force microscopy.

The depth-dependent morphology of the microphase separation structure in thin block copolymer films is examined using non-destructive time-of-flight grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering. The structure of a cylinder-forming diblock copolymer, polystyrene(deuterated)-block-polyisoprene, in contact with either a low- or a high-energy substrate surface is investigated. A systematic identification of the components of the polymer film at different depths is achieved by utilizing the material characteristic Yoneda peak. For the polymer film attached to the low-surface-energy aminosilane-coated substrate, a morphology transition from lamellar at the substrate–polymer interface,viaperforated lamellar in the film bulk, to an ill-defined structure at the polymer–air interface is observed. This phase transition along the film normal is due to the competition between the surface-induced morphological changes and the stable cylindrical bulk morphology of the diblock copolymer. In contrast, on the high-energy surface no pronounced ordering is found for the applied conditions.

Developing small-angle neutron scattering techniques at compact accelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS) is of great importance for expanding the user community and advancing CANS capability. At the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) at Tsinghua University, neutron-focusing mirrors are under intensive research to address the challenge. A grazing-incidence focusing SANS (gif-SANS) project is initialized. It employs a nested supermirror assembly with a large collecting area to achieve ⩾ 10 5 n/s neutron intensity at Q min ⩽ 0.007 Å − 1 . It will equip two detectors, one being a 3He detector for normal Q-range measurements, and the other being a high-resolution detector for extending the Q min down to 10 − 3 Å − 1 . In this work, we present the conceptual design of the gif-SANS at CPHS. Such a scheme is conducive to enable high-performance SANS measurements at CANS.
