Thin film research and their applications in industry are a key technological field. Much fundamental research is undertaken, and structural data is often generated with X-rays. Most contributions in the field of thin films relate to certain measurements and their evaluation. In this episode of our series “Ask an Expert!” we will discuss the crucial step before measurement: alignment. Often forgotten and left to inherited procedures, this step has a crucial impact on our results. For applications such as GIXRD, XRR and HRXRD we will discuss alignment strategies emphasizing speed or accuracy. We will show some examples and also pitfalls you should avoid. The presentation is limited to 20 minutes, the main part of this session is reserved for you, your questions and our answers.
Don’t forget to submit your questions by emailing askanexpert@malvernpanalytical.com or using the #MPexpert hashtag on Twitter. Questions and data can be submitted up to 10 days upfront.
