ABSTRACTThe thin films Co81−xCr15PtxTa4 with (0002) crystallographic texture have been sputter deposited with and without substrate bias. The lattice parameter of the thin films has been determined by a combination of x-ray diffraction and electron diffraction techniques. The resolution of the electron diffraction was enhanced by a digital imaging technique. The variation rate of the a lattice parameter with Pt content is consistent with Vegard's law. The change in the c lattice parameter is much greater than what is expected from Vegard's law.

Secondary Extinction

In this study, the equations based on x-ray diffraction theory were developed to determine the thickness of multiple layer thin films. The kinematical expression of the integrated reflected intensity from the substrate and films was corrected for the primary and secondary extinction effects assuming a mosaic crystal model. As an example of the application of the method, thicknesses of a double heterostructure system, namely AlAs/AIGaAs/GaAs, were determined. Good agreement was obtained between the results from the x-ray measurement and scanning electron microscopy data demonstrating high precision of this technique.

Determining atomic positions in thin films by X-ray diffraction is, at present, a task reserved for synchrotron facilities. Here an experimental method is presented which enables the determination of the structure factor amplitudes of thin films using laboratory-based equipment (Cu Kα radiation). This method was tested using an epitaxial 130 nm film of CuMnAs grown on top of a GaAs substrate, which unlike the orthorhombic bulk phase forms a crystal structure with tetragonal symmetry. From the set of structure factor moduli obtained by applying this method, the solution and refinement of the crystal structure of the film has been possible. The results are supported by consistent high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and stoichiometry analyses.

Cationic Site

The cationic distribution is decisive for both the magnetic and electric properties of complex oxides. While it can be easily determined in bulk materials using classical methods such as X-ray or neutron diffraction, difficulties arise for thin films owing to the relatively small amount of material to probe. It is shown here that a full determination of the cationic site distribution in thin films is possible through an optimized processing of resonant elastic X-ray scattering experiments. The method is illustrated using gallium ferrite Ga2−xFexO3samples which have been the focus of an increasing number of studies this past decade. They indeed represent an alternative to the, to date, only room-temperature magnetoelectric compound BiFeO3. The methodology can be applied to determine the element distribution over the various crystallographic sites in any crystallized system.
