Abstract

A method for the correction of peak position for the Seemann-Bohlin X-ray diffractometer, useful for practical application, is presented. The position of diffraction peaks is largely influenced by both the displacement of specimen from the diffractometer circle and the shift of the X-ray tube focus. The described correction method has been used for investigation of thin layers, especially for the precise determination of both lattice parameter and stresses in thin films. The application of the method is illustrated on samples of TiN and ZrN coatings deposited on steel substrates and additionally covered with a thin film of Si or Ta or TaC powder used as an internal standard.
