Description:

Diffractometer with Ge-002 monochromator and CuKα1 radiation for thin film studies.

  • XRR studies:  thickness, surface roughness and electron density measurement of thin layers.
  • HR-XRD, RSM studies: crystalline quality of the sample, strain analysis, 
  • GIXRD studies: grazing inside diffraction on thin films.
  •  Texture measurement.
