High energy XRD-XRF for high-throughput analysis of compositional spread thin films
PI: R. Bruce van Dover (Cornell University)

Goal: high throughput analysis of compositional spread thin films

Technique: powder diffraction, fluorescence;
Beamline optics: Si(111) at 60 keV

Experimental setup at the CHESS A2 station: Si wafer with a spread film on its surface is mounted on 4-circle diffractometer and diffraction pattern is recorded by MAR-345 detector for each position simultaneously with fluorescence spectrum.

Typical fluorescence spectra (left) and compositional map (right).
