Texture goniometry of thin layers needs intensity corrections in Bragg–Brentano or low‐incidence geometries. These intensity corrections are described for the case where the diffracting volume consists of a single layer or bilayers. As an application, the respective orientations of aluminium thin films deposited on steel and bilayers of aluminium/iron deposited on silicon wafers are studied. The orientation relationship between iron and silicon is (111)Si||(110)Fe and between aluminium and iron is (111)Al||(110Fe) with [011]Al||[100]Fe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
