A series of Cr1-xAlxN coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. The content, microstructure and the hardness of the thin films were characterized respectively with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nanoindentor. The effect of Al content on the microstructure and hardness was studied. It was found that Cr1-xAlxN compound coating exhibits a cubic structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientations and that the lattice parameter of Cr1-xAlxN coatings decrease with the increase of Al content. The hardness of Cr1-xAlxN compound coating is higher than that of CrN and increases with the increase of Al content.

The highly-collimated, intense X-rays produced by a synchrotron radiation source can be harnessed to build high-resolution powder diffraction instruments with a wide variety of applications. The general advantages of using synchrotron radiation for powder diffraction are discussed and illustrated with reference to the structural characterisation of crystalline materials, atomic PDF analysis, in-situ and high-throughput studies where the structure is evolving between successive scans, and the measurement of residual strain in engineering components.

We present the identification of crystalline phases by in situ X-ray diffraction during growth and monitor the phase evolution during subsequent thermal treatment of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) perovskite thin films.
