SUMMARY
High Resolution X-Ray Diffraction (HRXRD) refers to a technique that provides enhanced angular resolution compared to standard X-ray diffraction. This increased resolution allows for precise measurement of crystal spacing and is essential for studying deviations from ideal crystal structures, individual diffraction peak structures, and defects. HRXRD is particularly useful in the characterization of thin layers with potentially distorted structures, utilizing advanced components such as monochromators and mirrors to achieve its superior performance.
