Extract

X-ray diffraction is one of the most useful methods for the characterisation of thin crystalline layers or coatings. The most interesting techniques are: the identification of phases and their relative quantities, texture analysis, and residual stress measurements.

Thin layers which are transparent to the x-ray beam (in the diffracted wavelength) yield different intensities as compared with a bulk sample.
