A new and more `generalized' grazing-incidence-angle X-ray diffraction (G-GIXD) method which enables simultaneous measurements both of in- and out-of-plane diffraction images from surface and interface structures has been developed. While the method uses grazing-incidence-angle X-rays like synchrotron radiation as an incident beam in the same manner as in `traditional' GIXD, two-dimensional (area) detectors like image plates and a spherical-type goniometer are used as the data-collection system. In this way, diffraction images both in the Seemann–Bohlin (out-of-plane) and GIXD geometry (in-plane) can be measured simultaneously without scanning the detectors. The method can be applied not only to the analysis of the in-plane crystal structure of epitaxically grown thin films, but also to more general research topics like the structural analysis of polycrystalline mixed phases of thin surface and interface layers.

A formula is derived for simulating rocking-curve measurements made with an X-ray diffractometer fitted with a four-reflection monochromator. The derivation is carried out both graphically and algebraically. Results of a simulation using this formula are then compared with experimentally obtained rocking curves. The rocking curves were obtained using a diffractometer with a four-reflection monochromator that uses 440 reflections from two channel-cut germanium crystals. The experimental data comprise 200, 400, 600, 511, 711, 622, 422 and 444 reflections from thick single-crystal indium phosphide grown by the vertical-gradient freeze technique. The simulated data correlate well with the experimental data, although the simulations consistently show somewhat higher reflectivities and narrower linewidths than the experiment, indicating the existence of broadening mechanisms not included in the simulation that are affecting the experiment.

AbstractThe structural properties of GaN epitaxial layers grown on patterned sapphire substrates by MOCVD have been investigated using HRXRD(high-resolution X-ray diffraction), GIXRD(grazing incidence X-ray diffraction) and PL(photoluminescence). For X-ray characterizations rocking curves for GaN (10·5), (00·2), (11·4) and (11·0) reflections for which incidence angles of X-rays are 32.0°, 17.3°, 11.0° and 0.34°, respectively, were measured. For (10·5), (00·2) and (11·4) reflections FWHMs of the rocking curves for a patterned substrate were broader than those for a unpatterned substrate, for (11·0) reflection, however, FWHM for a patterned substrate was much narrower than that for a unpatterned substrate. The normalized FWHM for all reflections decreases as the incidence angle of X-ray decreases. The results indicate that the crystalline quality in the surface region of the epilayer on a patterned substrate was especially improved because the penetration depth of X-ray depends on the incidence angle. The intensity of PL peak of the epilayer for a patterned substrate increased compared to that for a unpatterned substrate, and the increase in PL intensity is attributed to the reduction in dislocation density at the surface region revealed the by X-ray results.

The multireflection grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction method is used to test surface stresses at depths of several micrometres in the case of metal samples. This work presents new ways of analysing experimental data obtained by this method for Ni samples exhibiting significant elastic anisotropy of crystals. Three different methods of determining biaxial stresses and lattice parameter were compared. In the first approach, the calculations were performed using the linear least-squares method, and then two simplified procedures based on simple linear regression (weighted and non-weighted) were applied. It was found that all the tested methods give similar results, i.e. almost equal values of the determined stresses and lattice parameters and the uncertainties of their determination. The advantage of analyses based on simple linear regression is their simplicity and straightforward interpretation, enabling easy verification of the influence of the crystallographic texture and the presence of shear stresses, as well as graphical determination of the stress-free lattice parameter.

The present work investigates the possibility of bias introduced in grazing-incidence-angle X-ray diffraction techniques applied to residual stress measurements. In these studies, monotextured nanocrystalline nickel coatings obtained by electrodeposition were examined as the model reference samples. Selected Ni coatings exhibited well developed and simple gradient-free residual stress states that were visible using conventional sin2ψ measurements with varying X-ray penetration depths. These results were verified against the stress state picture obtained by two variants of grazing-incidence X-ray methods: multi-reflection (differenthkl) and constant angle of incidence (singlehkl). The outcome of both grazing techniques consistently excluded stress gradients in the samples, which agreed with conventional sin2ψ measurement results. However, only the results of the constant angle of incidence technique agreed with those obtained by the sin2ψ method in terms of calculated residual stress level, suggesting this approach could be applied in further studies of graded material coatings. All analysed coatings yielded uniformly distributed tensile residual stress related to gradual structure development in electrodeposited Ni coatings studied by electron microscopy techniques.
