Abstract:

X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and analysis for epitaxial iron selenide thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are presented to support the conclusions in the related research article "Double epitaxy of tetragonal and hexagonal phases in the FeSe system" [1]. The films contain β-FeSe and Fe₇Se₈ phases in a double epitaxy configuration with the β-FeSe phase (001) oriented on the (001) MgO growth substrate. Fe₇Se₈ simultaneously takes on two different epitaxial orientations in certain growth conditions, exhibiting both (101)- and (001)- orientations. Each of these orientations are verified with the presented XRD data. Additionally, XRD data used to determine the PLD target composition as well as mosaic structure of the β-FeSe phase are shown.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
