An absolute precision determination of lattice constants by electron diffraction is made with thin monocrystalline films of germanium and aluminium, having a thickness between 1000 and 5000 A. The films are prepared from the bulk material by mechanical polishing and subsequent chemical polishing or etching. The obtained values for the lattice constant α of both materials are within the accuracy Δα/α= ±3·10-5 of measurement in full agreement with the corresponding values obtained by X-ray diffraction (Smakula and Kalnajs).

ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction have been used for characterizing the synthesized ZnO NPs. An electrochemical sensor was fabricated using ZnO NPs–modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The proposed electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent detection performance toward three analytes, demonstrating that it can potentially be applied in clinical applications. The results indicated the ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect AA in the concentrations range between 50 and 1,000 μM. The ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect DA in the concentrations range between 2 and 150 μM. The ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect UA in the concentrations range between 0.2 and 150 μM. The limits of detections of AA, DA, and UA using ZnO NPs–modified electrode were calculated to be 18.4, 0.75, and 0.11 μM, respectively.

The structure of calcium europium orthoborate, Ca3Eu2(BO3)4, was determined using high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction data collected at the ID22 beamline (ESRF) under ambient conditions, as well as at high temperature. Rietveld refinement allowed determination of the lattice constants and structural details, including the Ca/Eu ratios at the three cationic sites and their evolution with temperature. Clear thermal expansion anisotropy was found, and slope changes of lattice-constant dependencies on temperature were observed at 923 K. Above this temperature the changes in occupation of the Ca/Eu sites occur, exhibiting a tendency towards a more uniform Eu distribution over the three Ca/Eu sites. Possible structural origins of the observed thermal expansion anisotropy are discussed.

A novel grazing-incidence in-plane X-ray diffraction setup based on a commercial four-circle diffractometer with a sealed-ceramic copper X-ray tube, upgraded with parabolic graded multilayer X-ray optics and a one-dimensional position-sensitive detector, is presented. The high potential of this setup is demonstrated by a phase analysis study of pentacene thin films and the determination of in-plane lattice constants of pentacene mono- and multilayers. The quality of the results compare well to studies performed at synchrotron radiation facilities.

A method for the simultaneous determination of nine strain coefficients, both shear and tensile, of crystalline bilayers is proposed and realized. The X-ray diffraction peak intensities along 2θ (vertical) and β (horizontal) scans relative to the plane of incidence of three Bragg reflections whose atomic planes are not parallel to each other can be used to obtain shear and tensile strain coefficients. The theoretical considerations and experimental examples for single-crystal GeSi/Si overlayers are reported. It is also demonstrated that, for GeSi/Si, the shear and tensile strain coefficients of the Si substrate tend to vanish when the GeSi layer is thicker than 40 nm.
