Exploring the Depths of Crystallography: Advanced X-ray Characterization Through Reciprocal Space Mapping
The two or three-dimensional mapping of crystals in reciprocal space is known as reciprocal space mapping (RSM). The RSM is performed by a coupled scan of $2\theta-\omega$ for a set of $\omega$ values. These maps, centered around reciprocal lattice spots, offer insights beyond those obtained from single line scans, such as high-resolution rocking curves. In epitaxial …
