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

The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method is a widely known thin film growth technique for its potential in growing highly crystalline oxide thin films with near stoichiometry on an ultra-thin scale. Various thin film deposition techniques are used to prepare thin films and superlattices such as sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy, PLD, thermal evaporation method, chemical

Density Functional Theory (DFT) stands as a cornerstone in the realm of quantum mechanics, serving as a powerful tool for understanding the electronic structure and properties of materials. In this article, we will embark on a journey to demystify DFT, exploring its fundamental principles, applications in material science and physics, and the practical aspects of

In the realm of physics, certain principles serve as the bedrock upon which our understanding of motion and its governing laws is built. One such fundamental concept is the Impulse-Momentum Theorem. This theorem, which lies at the intersection of classical mechanics and Newtonian dynamics, provides invaluable insights into the behavior of objects in motion and
