55. For a surface with heterogeneity on a scale which is large compared with the coherence length of the neutron beam, the reflectivity is an area-weighted average of the intensity reflected from each region. In the present case, the area fraction occupied by the islands of copolymer cannot be determined precisely because the reflectivity from the islands is not known. However, an upper bound of 20% is obtained using the reflectivity from the dispersed state in the inset to Fig. 7. The dimension of the tethered layer normal to the surface is nearly the same in the islands as in the dispersed state, as can be seen from the comparable peak positions for the data at -30°C in Fig. 7 and in the inset.

66. This upper limit for the magnitude of the temperature gradient through the liquid was determined by varying the vertical position of the thermocouple, which resulted in a variation of 3.4° at the lowest temperature. This is an upper limit since the thermocouple may have been partially exposed to the air above the liquid at its highest vertical position. A different method with liner spatial resolution is required to precisely determine the gradient. In addition to the above, the fact that the surface tension continues to increase nearly linearly down to the lowest temperatures (see Fig. 6) indicates that the surface layer is experiencing nearly the same variation in temperature as that measured by the thermocouple down to the lowest temperatures. From the linearity in the data for DOP, the temperature gradient would appear to be less than 4°C.
