A very accurate 8X8 matrix approach to dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction in which fewer approximations are made than in the classic vonLaue approach, is described here. The method is related to the very general matrix method of Kokushima and Yamakito, and is particularly suited to numerical solution with a computer. It can be used to solve problems in ideal, undistorted crystals with high precision even at near grazing incidence without special consideration of refraction or external reflection. It is also easy to apply to problems where periodicity of oblique Bragg planes varies in the direction normal to the surface. Such strain may be induced, for example, by variation of composition with depth. Certain problems wherein simultaneous diffraction by two sets of Bragg planes occurs can also be treated by this approach.

Numerical calculation of the angular and spectral distributions of the intensities of the specularly diffracted waves in the case of three-wave grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction is carried out using the dynamical theory. The angular and spectral distributions are shown to be uniquely and continuously dependent upon the value of the triplet phase invariant. A method of determining the value of the triplet phase invariant for thin crystal surface layers is developed, based on the comparison of experimentally measured three-wave peak profiles with the profiles calculated for different values of the triplet phase invariant. An analysis scheme of the phase sensitivity of the reflection coefficients is proposed taking into account the interference of the directly excited and the `Umweg'-excited specularly diffracted waves.

ABSTRACTA microstructural study on surfactant templated silica films is performed by coupling traditional X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) to Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (GISAXS). By this method it is shown that spin-coating of silicate solutions with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a templating agent provides 3D hexagonal structure (space group P63/mmc) that is no longer compatible with the often described hexagonal arrangement of tubular micelles but rather with an hexagonal arrangement of spherical micelles. The extent of the hexagonal ordering and the texture can be optimized in films by varying the composition of the solution.

We report the surface stoichiometry of Tix-CuyNz thin film as a function of film depth. Films are deposited by high power impulse (HiPIMS) and DC magnetron sputtering (DCMS). The composition of Ti, Cu, and N in the deposited film is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). At a larger depth, the relative composition of Cu and Ti in the film is increased compared to the surface. The amount of adventitious carbon which is present on the film surface strongly decreases with film depth. Deposited films also contain a significant amount of oxygen whose origin is not fully clear. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) shows a Cu3N phase on the surface, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicates a polycrystalline structure and the presence of a Ti3CuN phase.
