X-Ray Scattering from Thin Films and Multilayers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Capability of the X-ray scattering for study of low-dimensional structures is illustrated on few examples. They are focused to the phase analysis, residual stress measurement, calculation of the stress-free lattice parameters, investigation of the anisotropic lattice deformation and preferred orientation in UN thin films. Further, the study of concentration profiles in functionally graded hard-metals and investigation of the multilayer degradation caused by soft annealing are discussed.
