- 00:00:00 - 00:05:00
Die spreker bespreek die gebruik van GSAS en X3 sagteware vir die analise van poeier X-straal diffraksiepatrone. Die proses begin met die skep van 'n generiese lêer in GSAS voordat dit in X3 gevisualiseer kan word. Die voorbeeld behels annotase titaandioksied en die opstel van 'n eksperiment om rekristallisasie te modelleer.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
Die spreker beklemtoon die verkryging van fase-inligting uit die ICSD databasis, die seleksie van hoë kwaliteit kristaldata, en die gebruik van SIF-lêers as 'n beginpunt vir modellering. Hierdie fases word by die projek gevoeg en vorm die basis vir verdere verfyning.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
Die gesprek verduidelik die invoer van data in die GSAS-formaat vir histogramme en die gebruik van die PowerPref-funksie vir aanpassing. Daar word gefokus op die pasmaak van modelle aan werklike data deur middel van verfyning en die belang van korrekte agtergrondinstelling.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
Verfyningsprosesse sluit die aanpassing van piekhoogtes, posisies, en die agtergrond in om die kristalmodel akkuraat te maak. Die spreker gebruik 'n Chi-kwadraat waarde om die akkuraatheid van die model aan te dui en stel verdere aanpassings voor.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
Die spreker ondersoek die invloed van kristallietgrootte met die LX-parameter en bespreek verdere verfyningsmetodes om die modelresultate meer akkuraat te maak, insluitend die aanpassing van piekprofiele en die agtergrond.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
Daar word gewys op die hantering van veelvuldige fases en hoe die sagteware fasefraksies kan bereken met behulp van gewigsverhoudings. 'n Nuutlakeerde voorbeeld word gedemonstreer met annotase en rutile mengsels.
- 00:30:00 - 00:35:00
Dunfilmvoorbeelde word bespreek met spesiale aandag aan voorkeursorientasie-effekte, wat die tradisionele Rietveld-metodes uitdaag. Daar word gebruik gemaak van die Label-metode om voorkeursorientasie-effekte te verreken.
- 00:35:00 - 00:40:00
Die gebruik van die rekordmetode en die aanpassing van ander parameters soos simmetrie, spanning, en basiese lyne om akkurate modelle uit te werk word gedemonstreer. Verskeie aanpassings van agtergrond en parameters word bespreek.
- 00:40:00 - 00:45:00
Die spreker bespreek die gebruik van die sferiese harmoniese model om voorkeursorientasie te kwantifiseer. Hierdie metode laat 'n meer gedetailleerde analise toe en die tekstuurindeks dien as 'n maatstaf vir tekstuureffekte.
- 00:45:00 - 00:50:00
Die proses word herhaal vir alternatiewe konfigurasies van dunlae met verskillende deposito-tye, en vergelyk die voorkeursorientasie-indekse tussen monsters. Daar is verdere bespreking oor die gebruik van tekstuurindekse vir vergelykings.
- 00:50:00 - 00:57:47
Die samevatting sluit af met die belangrikheid van praktyk en die gebruik van handleidings om die volledige potensiaal van die sagteware te leer ken, en beklemtoon die relatiewe intensiteit van pieke vir kristallografiese analises.

- 00:00:00today I'm going to be talking to you
- 00:00:02about how to use the gsas and X3
- 00:00:06software suite for
- 00:00:10analyzing your X-ray diffraction
- 00:00:12patterns
- 00:00:13happens this is for analyzing powder
- 00:00:16x-ray diffraction patterns rather than
- 00:00:20looking at single Crystal data the first
- 00:00:24thing that you do when you use gsas and
- 00:00:26X3 is your first open gsas
- 00:00:29and you just have to create a generic
- 00:00:31file that then you can then
- 00:00:34visualize and excrete so gsas is kind of
- 00:00:38like the older version that you can do
- 00:00:40stuff in DOS and you can just type lots
- 00:00:43of information into that but to actually
- 00:00:45visually see what's going on XP is what
- 00:00:48you use but but you need to set up an
- 00:00:51experiment using gsess so sorry you do
- 00:00:53that by pressing setup experiment name
- 00:00:55you give this photo an arbitrary name
- 00:00:58and our first example we'll be looking
- 00:01:00at is is annotase titanium dioxide so
- 00:01:03just call it annotase
- 00:01:06yes we'll create that file
- 00:01:10and I think I made it on the desktop
- 00:01:11here
- 00:01:13so I hope it
- 00:01:15I'm not sure where it was then you have
- 00:01:18to press setup expedit so experiment
- 00:01:21edit
- 00:01:23okay and it says do you want to create
- 00:01:25this file on your desktop yes
- 00:01:27what will we call it annotes and now
- 00:01:29it's appearing
- 00:01:31do I want to do anything else so it
- 00:01:33gives you a whole list of options of
- 00:01:34what you can actually do within the gsas
- 00:01:38software
- 00:01:40but I don't like dos format I like to
- 00:01:42see what's going on I like a user
- 00:01:45interface so I'll just press X for now
- 00:01:47and exit it so I've just basically made
- 00:01:49myself a nice blank file here and I
- 00:01:52can't but that's
- 00:01:55nothing's been entered yet
- 00:01:57now
- 00:01:59um I've got some examples in X3 that
- 00:02:03I've already got set up okay so here are
- 00:02:06the examples
- 00:02:09and first we're going to look at and
- 00:02:11annotate powder and we're going to do a
- 00:02:14rebuild refinement for that
- 00:02:16now I know how to do recoil refinement
- 00:02:18and label refinements okay so if you're
- 00:02:22powder there's no thermodynamic effects
- 00:02:25on
- 00:02:26which
- 00:02:28Crystal planes it grows so it grows into
- 00:02:31what what is in the literature you know
- 00:02:33the the different Peak Heights are what
- 00:02:36the literature powder pattern would have
- 00:02:37so basically there was no strain on
- 00:02:40which in which it was growing it just
- 00:02:42grow to where it's thermodynamically
- 00:02:44Optimum state in different Crystal
- 00:02:46planes different uh orientations
- 00:02:49so the refill model is great for that
- 00:02:51okay
- 00:02:53but then if you want to do a label
- 00:02:54refinement
- 00:02:56where you just relax that structure
- 00:02:58Factor that's that's it you know
- 00:03:02constraining that model
- 00:03:04so you can use it there will find model
- 00:03:06if you have preferred orientation
- 00:03:08effects
- 00:03:09and I'll teach you how to deal with that
- 00:03:11as well so for now we'll just model
- 00:03:14a powder
- 00:03:16which grows very similar to what you see
- 00:03:19in the literature
- 00:03:20in terms of its preferred orientation so
- 00:03:23we'll just use the x-free software now
- 00:03:26and it will ask you okay open up this
- 00:03:29file so I've created this blank file
- 00:03:32here annotates experiment I'm just going
- 00:03:35to move it to the powder
- 00:03:37here to delete this blank that I made
- 00:03:39earlier
- 00:03:42so in in export you I can go to these G6
- 00:03:45examples and it taste powder wheat but I
- 00:03:48can then open this experiment
- 00:03:51and this is the user interface okay so
- 00:03:54I'm going to teach you how to do a
- 00:03:55rebuild model
- 00:03:56and a label equally weighted model
- 00:04:00um so the first thing you want to do is
- 00:04:03enter what phase you're trying to model
- 00:04:06so before you even go into this software
- 00:04:09and you're thinking I'm going to model
- 00:04:10my pattern you should first use the
- 00:04:13correct software to identify what phases
- 00:04:16are present
- 00:04:18so once your identify it is and for this
- 00:04:20particular example it's annotase
- 00:04:22you can then add that phase here
- 00:04:25so what phase where do I get this phase
- 00:04:28from well you can get it online
- 00:04:32from the crystal Orchestra database TSD
- 00:04:38so if you're going to be modeling
- 00:04:40patterns quite Lily
- 00:04:42what I recommend you do
- 00:04:44is you become a member of the icsd
- 00:04:49do using the icsd
- 00:04:53is you can just search for that
- 00:04:55particular material that you know it is
- 00:04:57okay so then
- 00:05:00um I know chemistry
- 00:05:03of this material called Anna taste
- 00:05:05that's the middle of the material
- 00:05:07called Anna taste
- 00:05:12okay and then it will give you
- 00:05:15um you know all of the standards that
- 00:05:17have been uploaded to the system
- 00:05:18and what I like to do is I'd like to
- 00:05:21click on this filter and just take high
- 00:05:23quality crystal data only
- 00:05:25and then you can click on any of these
- 00:05:26that are of interest to you say this one
- 00:05:29and show a detailed view of it
- 00:05:32and it will give you
- 00:05:35the paper in which it was published
- 00:05:38um
- 00:05:39sorry the the title of that publication
- 00:05:42where it was published I think is
- 00:05:45somewhere as well I can't see oh here it
- 00:05:47is
- 00:05:48so then you have a reference
- 00:05:50yeah
- 00:05:52um and it will give you some structural
- 00:05:54parameters and information
- 00:05:55it will also give you
- 00:05:58um a pattern of how it looks and you can
- 00:06:00config configure that pattern
- 00:06:02you can tell it to display the indices
- 00:06:07so then you can you can know oh okay
- 00:06:09that's the one zero one plane one zero
- 00:06:11three zero zero four one one two Etc
- 00:06:14and you can even change it so you can
- 00:06:16change the minimum or maximum values
- 00:06:18that you want to change this range here
- 00:06:21for instance from 10 to 20 degrees two
- 00:06:23feet of there's no information so you
- 00:06:25might just want to go from 20 elements
- 00:06:26and then you can extract that by
- 00:06:29pressing export X Y data okay
- 00:06:33so you also need to know when you're
- 00:06:35doing your X-ray diffraction
- 00:06:37you need to know what was your X-ray
- 00:06:39source
- 00:06:40so
- 00:06:42um here to get this
- 00:06:44standard you know as a sort of a
- 00:06:47starting point for the model you have to
- 00:06:49export a Sif file
- 00:06:52so export that Sif
- 00:06:54and using that Sif
- 00:06:56I'm ready to put it here so it's the
- 00:06:58same it's the same thing here
- 00:07:00so this will be kind of like my starting
- 00:07:02point of what I'm trying I'm going to
- 00:07:04take the starting point and actually
- 00:07:06make it reach what I've got Okay so
- 00:07:10in this phase section you add the phase
- 00:07:13I've got a sip file
- 00:07:15[Music]
- 00:07:17and I'm going to upload this zip file
- 00:07:20press continue to just say okay okay
- 00:07:22yeah yeah
- 00:07:24put all of those things in thank you
- 00:07:26and now this is the first phase that
- 00:07:29we're gonna it's a starting point and
- 00:07:31we're going to refine that starting
- 00:07:32point to match our actual data that
- 00:07:34we've got but I haven't even uploaded my
- 00:07:36data yet that's the next thing I have to
- 00:07:38do so under the histogram tab you add
- 00:07:42so when you go to histogram you click on
- 00:07:44add new histogram
- 00:07:47and if you select your data file
- 00:07:50but it has to be in the correct format
- 00:07:53which I haven't shown you how to do
- 00:07:56so
- 00:07:58if you have
- 00:07:59your data it's simply like this so you
- 00:08:02have degrees two feet on the left and
- 00:08:03counts on the right
- 00:08:05that that's something that's that's
- 00:08:07handy
- 00:08:08a handy way of having your data then you
- 00:08:10can convert that into a gsas format okay
- 00:08:13so using this called convex.exe tool you
- 00:08:18can do that and so the file type that
- 00:08:20I've got is just a simple ASCII and I
- 00:08:22want to convert that to a GSS
- 00:08:26so I select the file that I want to
- 00:08:28convert
- 00:08:29so that is um
- 00:08:32where is that it's under C drive
- 00:08:46I thought it was here
- 00:08:52[Music]
- 00:08:57okay
- 00:08:59there it is
- 00:09:01looking forward to adapt file the ATF
- 00:09:03but it was a DOT txt file so I didn't
- 00:09:05see that but they're both equivalent I
- 00:09:08think for the software so it's fine so
- 00:09:10now press do that convert thing
- 00:09:15and then here I get my this is that
- 00:09:18ASCII file but just in a gsas format
- 00:09:20that likes to see the data of your X-ray
- 00:09:24pattern
- 00:09:26so now within the software I can load
- 00:09:28you know as I said before go to
- 00:09:30histogram add new histogram I can load
- 00:09:32this histogram here by looking at
- 00:09:35for that gsas file
- 00:09:38if you're pressing open
- 00:09:41we like it it is a gsas format I know
- 00:09:44it's fine
- 00:09:45then you have to just select bank then
- 00:09:47you have to put an instrument collab
- 00:09:49instrument parameter file so this is
- 00:09:52something that whoever's in charge of
- 00:09:54that machine they'll have an instrument
- 00:09:55parameter file for that specific xrd
- 00:09:57machine and within that instrument
- 00:09:59parameter file it'll have information as
- 00:10:02I told you before about is it coppers my
- 00:10:06source
- 00:10:07um
- 00:10:09of X-rays and other information that's
- 00:10:12vital
- 00:10:14for this software I've already got that
- 00:10:17information here it's got broad Phillips
- 00:10:18the ins it's a bit old but it works
- 00:10:23so I'll just add that
- 00:10:27and then press add and everything's done
- 00:10:29now
- 00:10:31now if I ever want to see what's going
- 00:10:34on I press the live plot button
- 00:10:36but I can't see anything yet because I
- 00:10:39haven't told it any changes that I've
- 00:10:41made I haven't told the software okay
- 00:10:43make those changes and to do that I
- 00:10:46don't know what the hell these buttons
- 00:10:47mean but you have to press powerpref
- 00:10:50wow
- 00:10:51and then join us
- 00:10:54so all of the stuff I've just done so
- 00:10:56adding the face adding my so that's a
- 00:10:59phase in which we're going to starting
- 00:11:01point
- 00:11:01and then adding my actual x-ray data now
- 00:11:04I can actually see it on the live plot
- 00:11:07so these X's are my data
- 00:11:12the green line is just the background
- 00:11:13but it's drawn for me and the red is the
- 00:11:16model
- 00:11:17so as you can see the model
- 00:11:20is kind of in the right place but the
- 00:11:22heights aren't right okay so that's
- 00:11:24something that that needs to be refined
- 00:11:26I'm guessing also the bits won't be
- 00:11:28correct so you can see the position is
- 00:11:30slightly out there are many things that
- 00:11:31we need to start to refine to get this
- 00:11:33get this to work
- 00:11:36but I think first thing first is just to
- 00:11:37check that the background's okay
- 00:11:42and if I zoom in
- 00:11:44I can see that my background pretty much
- 00:11:46goes through my noise
- 00:11:49there's no point in really editing it in
- 00:11:51this case
- 00:11:52um but there are cases where you have
- 00:11:54like a broad background because the
- 00:11:56amorphous uh glass substrate is is
- 00:12:00giving you something there could be
- 00:12:02other reasons
- 00:12:04so then you have to draw it back on
- 00:12:06through that
- 00:12:08and you can do that by clicking add and
- 00:12:11so forth but I'll show you how to do
- 00:12:12that later for an actual scenario where
- 00:12:16it's important to do it
- 00:12:18now let's actually start modeling or
- 00:12:21we'll soon start modeling things one
- 00:12:23thing that's important is the profile
- 00:12:24now a lot of you guys are dealing with
- 00:12:27thin films
- 00:12:28and this peak cutoff is just simply not
- 00:12:31wide enough to deal with the widths of
- 00:12:34the piece that you get because we're
- 00:12:37dealing with quite Nano crystalline
- 00:12:39materials quite often so we need to
- 00:12:41change this P card off we need to add a
- 00:12:43couple of zeros okay
- 00:12:45and there's something called damping now
- 00:12:49the higher my damping value the shorter
- 00:12:52the steps the software will take in
- 00:12:55finding the local minimum okay when it's
- 00:12:57trying to fit a model to your data okay
- 00:13:02so it's always advisable to start with a
- 00:13:04high number
- 00:13:05and move slowly towards that local
- 00:13:08minimum rather than going huge steps
- 00:13:10because you can really mess things up
- 00:13:12so I just like the number seven I think
- 00:13:14it's quite lucky
- 00:13:15so I've done that to phase as well cell
- 00:13:18damping
- 00:13:19so I think we're ready to start modeling
- 00:13:23things
- 00:13:24so
- 00:13:25you're going to do a week Board model
- 00:13:27it's already stuck on the beatboard here
- 00:13:30and each cycle will do seven cycles of
- 00:13:32modeling
- 00:13:33so I'm going to start modeling the face
- 00:13:36and nothing else so I'm just going to
- 00:13:38move the positions of the Peaks so one
- 00:13:40thing here is called scaling so if you
- 00:13:42remember the heights of my model
- 00:13:44we're not close to matching the heights
- 00:13:46of my
- 00:13:48um actual data
- 00:13:50this is ticked on so it's gonna it's
- 00:13:52gonna move that the heights the peak
- 00:13:54Heights to the correct place I don't
- 00:13:55change the damn thing here that's not a
- 00:13:57big problem
- 00:13:58so now to start modding it I press
- 00:14:00Powerpuff
- 00:14:02and then join us
- 00:14:05and that's modeling it
- 00:14:07and here my reduced Chi Squared is 32 so
- 00:14:10it's obviously not great there are some
- 00:14:11issues
- 00:14:13that we're going to have to fix
- 00:14:16[Music]
- 00:14:20again it's just not getting there I
- 00:14:22think maybe we need to keep it going so
- 00:14:25we'll press genre again
- 00:14:31all right
- 00:14:34and we'll just keep pressing until it's
- 00:14:36replied there we can see that slowly
- 00:14:38slowly my Chi Squared is going down
- 00:14:41now it's 17.
- 00:14:43and let's have a look at the Life part
- 00:14:45see how we're doing
- 00:14:47so we're getting much closer
- 00:14:50it was just the scale factor was a
- 00:14:52problem so I'm just going to keep going
- 00:14:54so I'm going to increase this number
- 00:15:00just so we can get the scale factor in
- 00:15:02the correct place but it's not really
- 00:15:03changing much now there are other things
- 00:15:05that I need to change
- 00:15:07now in terms of the profile
- 00:15:09the profile
- 00:15:12is things that change the width and
- 00:15:14asymmetry of your Peaks it can also
- 00:15:16shift your Peaks as well so the main
- 00:15:19three things that I use
- 00:15:21that I think are really important are
- 00:15:22really handy ones are LX l y and shift
- 00:15:26now LX
- 00:15:28it's to do with
- 00:15:29the average crystallite of your material
- 00:15:32the average crystallite size
- 00:15:34so that's probably one of the first
- 00:15:36things that you want to model but it
- 00:15:38just depends so shift
- 00:15:41sometimes you need to shift your two
- 00:15:43Theta data because you didn't align your
- 00:15:46sample very well okay so when you do an
- 00:15:49x-ray diffraction pattern you need to
- 00:15:51make sure that the height of the sample
- 00:15:55is in the correct place
- 00:15:57in this case I'll be starting with just
- 00:16:00modeling LX now whether whenever you
- 00:16:03check or uncheck a box in retail mode
- 00:16:06you always have to press Powerpuff first
- 00:16:08and then join us again before you start
- 00:16:10modeling things
- 00:16:14and now my Chi Squared is down to 12. it
- 00:16:17means things are getting quite good and
- 00:16:19as you can see it is getting quite good
- 00:16:23it's getting quite close
- 00:16:25I just need to continue refining and
- 00:16:29hopefully we'll get there
- 00:16:34okay
- 00:16:35so right now I finally have my refined
- 00:16:37cell that is changing a A and C because
- 00:16:41a is equivalent to B it's changing a and
- 00:16:43C of my unit cell
- 00:16:45the width of my unit cell and and length
- 00:16:48and right now it's currently changing
- 00:16:50the average crystallite size so it's
- 00:16:52doing all of these things so try and
- 00:16:54match my pattern
- 00:16:58but as you can see
- 00:17:00it's not really changing much now
- 00:17:04and it's not quite reaching the width
- 00:17:06that's predicted
- 00:17:09I think there's perhaps there's a
- 00:17:11problem with the pattern
- 00:17:16well the way it's trying to model these
- 00:17:17points too much down here rather than
- 00:17:19the points up here
- 00:17:21so maybe I have to change this manually
- 00:17:23because it's not doing a very good job
- 00:17:26so right now it's
- 00:17:29four
- 00:17:32yeah that number is four so I'm just
- 00:17:34going to change it manually to say
- 00:17:37two
- 00:17:40and not model it and see if that helps
- 00:17:42things along
- 00:17:49let's make things worse
- 00:17:56that's a bit weird isn't it shouldn't be
- 00:17:58doing that
- 00:18:04I think the issue is that this peak
- 00:18:07is quite wide
- 00:18:10whereas it matches quite well with the
- 00:18:11other piece
- 00:18:14so I should leave it as it is and let it
- 00:18:16just refine that but I'll change the
- 00:18:18damping a bit so it can go in bigger
- 00:18:20steps
- 00:18:24so it's modeling quite well
- 00:18:28on average all of the pizza being
- 00:18:29modeled quite well
- 00:18:36I think that's the best it's going to
- 00:18:38get for that Peak but for the rest of
- 00:18:39these Peaks it's doing quite a good job
- 00:18:43ish
- 00:18:44so
- 00:18:46there are other sort of fighting things
- 00:18:47that you can do to try and improve that
- 00:18:49so let's just try it
- 00:18:52and changing
- 00:18:54The Strain perhaps The Strain is causing
- 00:18:57an issue I doubt it
- 00:19:03it's not strong maybe a there's a slight
- 00:19:06error in the measurements needs to be
- 00:19:08shifted
- 00:19:15again that's not the issue now we come
- 00:19:19to these parameters gug and GW
- 00:19:22now this just changed the changes the
- 00:19:24gaussian shape
- 00:19:26um of your material to try and make it
- 00:19:28match
- 00:19:29what I prefer to deal with LX first
- 00:19:32before I deal with anything else because
- 00:19:33this is actually a real
- 00:19:35a number that you can then relate to
- 00:19:37crystallite size and these numbers you
- 00:19:38can't really relate to crystallite size
- 00:19:40so it's best not to fight with these
- 00:19:41first it's best to fight about these
- 00:19:44things afterwards okay
- 00:19:47so
- 00:19:48let's start with gu and see if we can
- 00:19:50improve things
- 00:19:55and that's made things not better at all
- 00:20:01[Music]
- 00:20:04I just have a feeling that it's not
- 00:20:06going to get any better
- 00:20:08it's not bad
- 00:20:12but it's not great either
- 00:20:14after this example I hope you understand
- 00:20:16how then we've got these we've got the
- 00:20:18lettuce parameters now
- 00:20:20and again from the profile we've got LX
- 00:20:22which can be related to the average
- 00:20:24crystal out size of the material using
- 00:20:27this equation here
- 00:20:32so normally we take it from the share
- 00:20:34operation normally we take k
- 00:20:36as some arbitrary number around 0.9 is
- 00:20:39often what's used
- 00:20:41and X here will be your LX number and
- 00:20:44this will give you the average Crystal
- 00:20:45Light size in amstrongs
- 00:20:47okay so don't forget to convert it to
- 00:20:49nanometers which is the convention
- 00:20:51in our field
- 00:20:53as materials
- 00:20:55scientists
- 00:20:57so I think that example is a bit much
- 00:20:59done but one thing it can do is if you
- 00:21:01press results
- 00:21:02in list View
- 00:21:06it lists some really important things
- 00:21:09that we've just modeled for instance Chi
- 00:21:11Squared so that's the measurement of how
- 00:21:14good our fit is
- 00:21:15but generally
- 00:21:17what people like as as crystallographers
- 00:21:19as the wrp value and if this wrp value
- 00:21:23is low so 0.58 I don't think is that
- 00:21:27great we didn't get it so the model fit
- 00:21:29very well to the model
- 00:21:33um and also you can then if you scroll
- 00:21:35down
- 00:21:36you've got your a b and c that's my unit
- 00:21:40cell parameters for my check trigonal
- 00:21:42annotation itself and this is the error
- 00:21:45associated with each value is coded
- 00:21:47below
- 00:21:48so that's also interesting to have
- 00:21:52okay
- 00:21:55so move on to the next example
- 00:21:59so the next example we have
- 00:22:03is a phase mixture
- 00:22:10[Music]
- 00:22:13so we have an annotate root tile powder
- 00:22:16phase mixture
- 00:22:23[Music]
- 00:22:24let's have it have to give it a blank
- 00:22:26experiment file
- 00:22:28I'll just call it annotated root cell
- 00:22:33mixture
- 00:22:35not open it here
- 00:22:41so again I'll add the phases so from the
- 00:22:45database I've already got my annotating
- 00:22:47retail files
- 00:22:52I'll add those
- 00:22:54so my first phase is annotase
- 00:22:57my second phase I'm adding is router
- 00:23:01foreign
- 00:23:03[Music]
- 00:23:14which I might need to convert using
- 00:23:16convex yep
- 00:23:39put my instrument parameter file
- 00:23:42press add
- 00:23:45and then press power prep
- 00:23:48and join us so it can register those
- 00:23:50changes those additions I've just made
- 00:23:53and see it on the live clock
- 00:23:56at this time you can see we have more
- 00:23:59Peaks
- 00:24:00so this is the P that we saw earlier
- 00:24:03this is the annotate101 peak and now
- 00:24:06this is the root r110p
- 00:24:09there'll be more we'll be modeling both
- 00:24:11phases
- 00:24:12together
- 00:24:13so if we can see the backgrounds
- 00:24:17it's a pretty flat background so I don't
- 00:24:21need to modify that at all so it's quite
- 00:24:23fine
- 00:24:26so what I'll do is
- 00:24:28again I'll dampen my cells
- 00:24:40change my Peak cutoffs make it slightly
- 00:24:42wider
- 00:24:50and then I'll start to model things
- 00:24:52first thing I'll do is I'll just model
- 00:24:54the phases the Emma tase number one
- 00:24:56phase root of number two face
- 00:24:59remember in default modes you check
- 00:25:02things press Powerpuff first then drawn
- 00:25:04us afterwards in about in the barrel
- 00:25:06mode it's different
- 00:25:09now I'll just let it refine for a while
- 00:25:1217 cycles and my
- 00:25:16chi-squared value is not going down a
- 00:25:19huge deal
- 00:25:20now we're starting to get better
- 00:25:29I will find again
- 00:25:31it's not getting much better let's take
- 00:25:34a look at how that model is fitting my
- 00:25:37data it's not doing a great job okay and
- 00:25:40that's because I haven't modeled the
- 00:25:43face factions
- 00:25:45okay so under scaling you can tell these
- 00:25:49face fractions okay start start to let
- 00:25:52it go to what is the true base fraction
- 00:25:55now because it starts off with a number
- 00:25:57one and one that that doesn't
- 00:25:58necessarily mean 50 50. okay
- 00:26:03um because
- 00:26:06your different phases have different
- 00:26:09densities and they defect and x-rays
- 00:26:12slightly differently
- 00:26:14so you have it the software takes us all
- 00:26:16into account so one one here does not
- 00:26:19necessarily mean 50 50. I'll tell you
- 00:26:21how to get the real
- 00:26:23face fractions out afterwards but for
- 00:26:26now we will find those
- 00:26:30file press
- 00:26:32and jobless before second side
- 00:26:43we'll do that again
- 00:26:46thank you
- 00:26:53it's doing okay it's just not going to
- 00:26:55the right Peak Heights I think I need to
- 00:26:57start modeling the width of my piece
- 00:27:04so now under profile again I'll start
- 00:27:06with my LX
- 00:27:09which is related to my average Crystal
- 00:27:11Light size
- 00:27:15and you're finding that
- 00:27:21it doesn't oh it's gone a bit weird
- 00:27:29and it's fine now
- 00:27:36some reason it's going very strange at
- 00:27:38the end
- 00:27:42[Music]
- 00:27:43what's going on
- 00:27:48I guess I have too many things checked
- 00:27:51so
- 00:27:55um I'll just put some arbitrary numbers
- 00:27:57here and try and figure out what's going
- 00:27:59on
- 00:28:00it's a good thing when things go wrong
- 00:28:01in the sense that you can learn how to
- 00:28:04fix them as
- 00:28:13okay that's working fine now what I'll
- 00:28:16do is I'll just turn the scaling off
- 00:28:19and
- 00:28:22the letters parameters off
- 00:28:23but then now you find
- 00:28:26the average Crystal size because
- 00:28:28sometimes in your model if you have too
- 00:28:29many variables
- 00:28:31it's not a good thing
- 00:28:36it seems behaving itself a bit better
- 00:28:39now
- 00:28:41again it's not perfect
- 00:28:42[Music]
- 00:28:44but it's quite close
- 00:28:47okay
- 00:28:48so that's not bad
- 00:28:50and again you can go through many
- 00:28:51iterations of trying to improve the
- 00:28:53average crystallite size or if there's
- 00:28:55an error in your shift because you think
- 00:28:57the samples misaligned
- 00:28:59or if there's any strain
- 00:29:01things like this you can play around
- 00:29:03with go through many iterations until
- 00:29:05you reach the optimum
- 00:29:07the one thing that I think is pretty
- 00:29:08interesting using the light bot if
- 00:29:11you're not familiar with where the Peaks
- 00:29:13are you can look at tick marks so if you
- 00:29:16press tick marks phase one it shows you
- 00:29:19where all of the Peaks are the annotate
- 00:29:21space I'm just tick marks
- 00:29:26phase two
- 00:29:28it shows you all the Peaks where
- 00:29:30the rutile phases
- 00:29:35okay
- 00:29:37so here here
- 00:29:40Etc and one thing once you're done
- 00:29:42modeling your pattern if you want to
- 00:29:44have all of this information in a way
- 00:29:46that you can then publish it
- 00:29:48you can press file export plot as a CSV
- 00:29:51file
- 00:29:54and then you can open this CSV file
- 00:30:03all right
- 00:30:10in Excel
- 00:30:16okay
- 00:30:24so then you have potato and you can play
- 00:30:27about it however you want
- 00:30:37so now in terms of getting the phase
- 00:30:40fractions
- 00:30:41what we can do is we can again press
- 00:30:43results
- 00:30:45list View
- 00:30:50and it tells you the wrp which is a
- 00:30:52measure of the error
- 00:30:58so it's too wind
- 00:31:02your Chi Squared again is another
- 00:31:03measure of the arrow
- 00:31:05so used to for your histogram
- 00:31:09it gives you information about
- 00:31:13uh let's say okay
- 00:31:17oh because we weren't modeling the
- 00:31:19lattice parameters in the last cycle it
- 00:31:22doesn't show us to those parameters
- 00:31:24so what I'll do is I'll turn these
- 00:31:26things off
- 00:31:27these things back on
- 00:31:41check that everything's okay
- 00:31:45it's fine now I can press results
- 00:31:48this View
- 00:31:52and then once we scroll down
- 00:31:56foreign
- 00:32:04this is my a b and c my lattice
- 00:32:06parameters the errors
- 00:32:08phase two the last parameters and errors
- 00:32:13and I think
- 00:32:17okay
- 00:32:21okay here we are
- 00:32:22so phase element fractions for phase
- 00:32:25number one weight fraction is 0.42
- 00:32:29and weight fraction is 0.57 for phase
- 00:32:31number two
- 00:32:32so it's from these weight fractions that
- 00:32:35then you get your uh
- 00:32:39your composition
- 00:32:41okay
- 00:32:43now I'm dealing with the same phase the
- 00:32:45same
- 00:32:47um chemical composition is that there
- 00:32:49are two different polymorphs of to2
- 00:32:53so if 0.42
- 00:32:56weight fraction is annotated and 0.57
- 00:33:00weight fraction
- 00:33:01is rutile then that is actually my
- 00:33:03composition it's 43 annotates and 57
- 00:33:07router because both are different
- 00:33:09polymorphs of titanium dioxide
- 00:33:11but if you have two different materials
- 00:33:13then the weight factions won't
- 00:33:15necessarily be the atomic fractions so
- 00:33:18you need to account for that
- 00:33:22okay and that's that example done
- 00:33:27so the next example I want to look at is
- 00:33:30looking at
- 00:33:32um a thin film rather than a powder
- 00:33:45[Music]
- 00:33:49yeah
- 00:33:51so again using the software X3 we open
- 00:33:55that
- 00:33:56go to that
- 00:34:00and because it's a thin film we have
- 00:34:02preferred orientation you don't you
- 00:34:03don't always get preferred orientation
- 00:34:05effects within films without you very
- 00:34:07often do
- 00:34:08so
- 00:34:09same routine
- 00:34:12remember whenever you have
- 00:34:14an x-ray pattern you have to identify
- 00:34:16which phases are there I've already done
- 00:34:18this it's just annotates
- 00:34:20so I'm uploading a good starting point
- 00:34:24um and annotates from the literature Sif
- 00:34:27bar I've shown you how to do that
- 00:34:28earlier
- 00:34:29and add my histogram which I've already
- 00:34:31converted to gsas before
- 00:34:40okie doke so I want it to register what
- 00:34:43I've just done
- 00:34:49and then I look at the live plots
- 00:34:51[Music]
- 00:34:52so this is the the sort of
- 00:34:55founding background I was telling you
- 00:34:56about before it's Broad and I know that
- 00:34:59I know this feature because I see it
- 00:35:00often this is just due to the amorphous
- 00:35:03silica glass that's underneath the
- 00:35:05substrate
- 00:35:06so to get rid of that rather than try
- 00:35:09and model it it's made me amorphous you
- 00:35:12don't really want to care to model it
- 00:35:14you just have to edit the background
- 00:35:18so what you do is you zoom in
- 00:35:21and you click here and there where you
- 00:35:23think
- 00:35:24that background should be
- 00:35:28and the more time and period that you
- 00:35:30take with it the better
- 00:35:36now sometimes with certain machines you
- 00:35:38get little bumps and values of two Theta
- 00:35:41because there's an error of the detector
- 00:35:43or something like that so you need to be
- 00:35:45aware where the artifacts are in that
- 00:35:48spectrometer if that's the case if
- 00:35:50there's a problem that's spectrometer
- 00:35:52and model the background report will
- 00:35:54draw the background accordingly
- 00:35:57and sometimes at the edges the
- 00:35:59background goes a bit weird so you just
- 00:36:01have to add a few more points but but
- 00:36:04then not add any more terms and it does
- 00:36:06a better job
- 00:36:10now I'll press paragraph
- 00:36:13join us it should register what I've
- 00:36:16just done those changes
- 00:36:19and now I can see that the background
- 00:36:21goes much better
- 00:36:23through the data
- 00:36:27the one thing I can notice straight away
- 00:36:30so let's just look at the relative
- 00:36:31Heights of my Peaks
- 00:36:34this peak here the 112 peak in annotates
- 00:36:37it doesn't show the same
- 00:36:39distribution
- 00:36:41as it did before
- 00:36:43so
- 00:36:47I know those preferred orientation in
- 00:36:48that respect and over here I think this
- 00:36:51is the two one one or one one two peak
- 00:36:54vanities there's a problem there as well
- 00:36:56so I know there's preferred orientation
- 00:36:58so if I try and fit things to a record
- 00:37:00model it's just not going to work
- 00:37:02it'll only work if I use
- 00:37:05um
- 00:37:06a refill plus a March doll Ace or
- 00:37:10cerebral harmonic preferred orientation
- 00:37:12model added on top
- 00:37:15okay
- 00:37:16but if you don't care to do that you
- 00:37:18don't care to quantify your preferred
- 00:37:20orientation in some in some respect you
- 00:37:23don't care to quantify it
- 00:37:24then you can just relax those preferred
- 00:37:26orientation effects using the label
- 00:37:28method and I'll show you how to do that
- 00:37:30but first things first let's change why
- 00:37:33people cut off make it wider and change
- 00:37:36my dampings accordingly
- 00:37:46and now I'm ready to do my label method
- 00:37:48now with lateral methods you have to
- 00:37:52have everything unchecked when you press
- 00:37:55half breath
- 00:37:57the only thing that you can have checked
- 00:37:58is the scaling nothing else can be
- 00:38:01checked
- 00:38:02and with the with the label method you
- 00:38:04have to press power prep once
- 00:38:07and then join this twice
- 00:38:11I don't know why interested
- 00:38:14okay now I can start to check things so
- 00:38:17I want to start to refine my face so
- 00:38:24I'll do it a couple of times
- 00:38:28now look at my material
- 00:38:31if you remember before the peak heights
- 00:38:33were quite different it was
- 00:38:36the distribution was the middle was the
- 00:38:38highest and the two on the edges were
- 00:38:39the same height but you see it's
- 00:38:41starting to relax that structure Factor
- 00:38:44and allow things just to fit
- 00:38:47in any thermodynamic Direction okay
- 00:38:50so we just need to continue to press
- 00:38:53dramas
- 00:38:55try and reach the local minimum
- 00:38:57I can now start to model the crystallite
- 00:39:00with
- 00:39:03doing a much better job now my Chi
- 00:39:05Squared is down to 1.8
- 00:39:08it's not going to get much better than
- 00:39:09that
- 00:39:12and we'd be
- 00:39:14almost there I'd say and you just need
- 00:39:16to go and do more and more iterations to
- 00:39:18try and get things to match more
- 00:39:19perfectly
- 00:39:20but as you can see there's some slight
- 00:39:22asymmetry
- 00:39:23perhaps potentially there's some rutile
- 00:39:26impurity there where it could just be
- 00:39:28noise
- 00:39:30um so you know
- 00:39:32you can then model the asymmetry the uh
- 00:39:38the strain
- 00:39:40so once you model The Strain you can
- 00:39:42then quantify The Strain using this
- 00:39:45equation here
- 00:39:49where rather than just using Y minus y i
- 00:39:52you just put the l y value there
- 00:39:55so we can model those things or perhaps
- 00:39:57you know the beam wasn't perfectly
- 00:39:59aligned so let's just go through each
- 00:40:02one in turn
- 00:40:05and try and see if things improve or if
- 00:40:07they don't
- 00:40:08so there wasn't much strain
- 00:40:12the beam was probably well aligned
- 00:40:19and there's not a huge amount of
- 00:40:21asymmetry
- 00:40:24you just go through those iterations and
- 00:40:26it slowly slowly will get better
- 00:40:28okay another thing you can do is you can
- 00:40:31model
- 00:40:32your Baseline okay you can set it to
- 00:40:35relax a bit and move so that piece can
- 00:40:37fit better
- 00:40:38and that's advisable because I've drawn
- 00:40:40a line by eye I don't know what exactly
- 00:40:42is the contribution from the amorphous
- 00:40:44silica background
- 00:40:45so it's surprisable to to put a high
- 00:40:49very high damping factor and to refine
- 00:40:52your background very slowly
- 00:41:01I'll do that whilst refining my face
- 00:41:04and my Crystal Light size
- 00:41:111.802
- 00:41:151.795 is getting slowly slowly better
- 00:41:19but now it's got worse that's 1.8 and
- 00:41:22that's where you call it a day for
- 00:41:23refining the background it's just not
- 00:41:25going to get better
- 00:41:28but as you can see it's moved the
- 00:41:30background a little bit shifted it to
- 00:41:32allow it
- 00:41:34to try and improve things
- 00:41:36what you can sometimes do as well is for
- 00:41:38your histogram because there's no data
- 00:41:40here
- 00:41:41there's no point in trying to improve
- 00:41:43things so you can always
- 00:41:46you can set data limits in exclude
- 00:41:48regions okay so you can
- 00:42:17[Music]
- 00:42:22let's see if that actually works I don't
- 00:42:24know if it works
- 00:42:30oh it has worked okay that is fine okay
- 00:42:36so now we start to model things again
- 00:42:40so we'll have to edit this background
- 00:42:50[Music]
- 00:42:55um
- 00:42:55[Music]
- 00:42:57Powerpuff John is twice remember we're
- 00:43:00in the bail mode
- 00:43:07and now we can start to just try and
- 00:43:10improve things again
- 00:43:25just increase the number here so
- 00:43:33the live plots he has doing and then I
- 00:43:35can try and find that background again
- 00:43:36to make things better but I'd say that's
- 00:43:39pretty darn good I mean for a thin film
- 00:43:41it's not bad at all
- 00:43:44so then again as before you can go to
- 00:43:47list View
- 00:43:48get your errors out
- 00:43:50to 0.18 that's respectable
- 00:43:54and
- 00:43:55you can then extract
- 00:43:57the loudest parameters
- 00:43:59and that's pretty much all you can get
- 00:44:00from this information
- 00:44:02from what we've done one thing you can
- 00:44:05do if you care to quantify
- 00:44:08you know the texturing they call it the
- 00:44:10preferred orientation
- 00:44:11you can go to results reflist
- 00:44:20oh we want to look at histogram one
- 00:44:23and
- 00:44:27press s for all of the data
- 00:44:32you just press enter and enter Etc now
- 00:44:35this data here
- 00:44:38it will give you
- 00:44:40a couple K Alpha One and copper KL for
- 00:44:42two contributions so for the 101 Peak
- 00:44:45from care for one care for two
- 00:44:47contributions we've got compute
- 00:44:48contribution of 14.5 and 6.7 for the 103
- 00:44:52we've got the 1.05 and 6.687 so you can
- 00:44:56take these numbers add them and that
- 00:44:59will give you the relative intensities
- 00:45:00of each Peak
- 00:45:02okay and then you can quantify it
- 00:45:04relative to each other or relative to
- 00:45:07changes versus a single Crystal
- 00:45:12okay and that's that example done
- 00:45:14oh
- 00:45:21now we're going to look at the exact
- 00:45:22same film again but this time what I'm
- 00:45:25doing in the barrel mode we've been
- 00:45:26doing refill mode and we're going to use
- 00:45:27the spherical harmonic model
- 00:45:32which I I do not claim to be any kind of
- 00:45:34experts they're using
- 00:45:37but it's
- 00:45:39it's a way of
- 00:45:41quantifying or semic quantifying the
- 00:45:43amount of preferred orientation you have
- 00:45:49so again I'm just going through the
- 00:45:51motions now
- 00:45:54have to add the face
- 00:45:56you guys probably getting bored of this
- 00:45:58but
- 00:46:04practice makes perfect I'm going to add
- 00:46:06our histogram
- 00:46:09and I can't stress that anymore I mean
- 00:46:10to use this software
- 00:46:13practice is essential otherwise you'll
- 00:46:15forget how to do these little things
- 00:46:21and you might find much better ways of
- 00:46:24doing it than I do
- 00:46:25probably will
- 00:46:27so um
- 00:46:32read the manual
- 00:46:34and explore things
- 00:46:36so the manual is available online if you
- 00:46:38just type in gsas manual
- 00:46:43but it's quite detailed and quite in
- 00:46:45depth and you wouldn't get the kind of
- 00:46:47information the basic way of doing
- 00:46:49things I'm telling you but if you want
- 00:46:51to look for specific things
- 00:46:53you can look here
- 00:46:54under the in the uh index section
- 00:46:59um
- 00:47:03okay so this spherical harmonics thing
- 00:47:05that I'm about to tell you is talk
- 00:47:07spoken about in the gsas technical
- 00:47:09manual and they refer to a paper here
- 00:47:12which if you're going to use that
- 00:47:14spherical harmonic model you should
- 00:47:16references paper and read it and try and
- 00:47:19get a grasp of
- 00:47:22what it truly means
- 00:47:26now I'm just gonna
- 00:47:28fit my background as I did before but
- 00:47:30what I think I'll do first is delete the
- 00:47:32background so
- 00:47:38I'm just gonna actually exclude this
- 00:47:40data here
- 00:48:03see if it's worked it seems to work is
- 00:48:06fine
- 00:48:07um
- 00:48:09now I'm going to start to model things
- 00:48:12first and then I'm going to show you how
- 00:48:14to use the spherical harmonic model now
- 00:48:16there is the marsh dialysis model as
- 00:48:18well but
- 00:48:20um I don't like it because
- 00:48:23um
- 00:48:23it's only good if you know for a fact
- 00:48:26which plane
- 00:48:29your material was growing so sometimes
- 00:48:31if you have epitaxial growth yeah I'm
- 00:48:33not sure many of us deal with epitaxial
- 00:48:35growth so we're doing sort of chemical
- 00:48:38depositions where it gives it that
- 00:48:40flexibility to grow in many different
- 00:48:42directions but whereas in other
- 00:48:45materials growth for instance physical
- 00:48:47Vapor depositions where you're growing
- 00:48:48on a lattice matched substrate
- 00:48:51you often get growth in one particular
- 00:48:53direction and the march to the latest
- 00:48:55function is very good so if you know
- 00:48:57that it's growing State just in the 101
- 00:48:59Direction you can specify one zero one
- 00:49:02and give it that ratio here
- 00:49:05to grow or not grow in that in that
- 00:49:07particular plane and the other planes
- 00:49:09will obviously go down in growth
- 00:49:12subsequently but what I found was films
- 00:49:16the symptoms I've made is that once you
- 00:49:18enter one plane it doesn't often work
- 00:49:21for one plane and then you're into two
- 00:49:23or three planes to make it work
- 00:49:25and you're just creating
- 00:49:26whatever I mean you're opening Pandora's
- 00:49:29Box because there's so many different
- 00:49:30possible combinations that could work
- 00:49:33so rather than doing it manually it's
- 00:49:35better to just
- 00:49:36let the spherical harmonic model do that
- 00:49:39for you in many different planes and try
- 00:49:41and get a quantitative analysis in many
- 00:49:42different things
- 00:49:47foreign
- 00:49:51[Music]
- 00:50:02just modeling the lattice parameters
- 00:50:07and the crystallite width
- 00:50:10it doesn't seem to get once again much
- 00:50:12better because of
- 00:50:14the problem with your prefer orientation
- 00:50:16here you can see there's a big problem
- 00:50:18with preferred orientation
- 00:50:21also my background sucks so I need to
- 00:50:23fix that
- 00:50:28so whenever I uncheck something first I
- 00:50:31press Powerpuff and joiners just so it
- 00:50:33registers the change
- 00:50:34then now I can fix my background because
- 00:50:37that was a big problem as well for the
- 00:50:39model because that background really
- 00:50:40doesn't fit
- 00:50:43[Music]
- 00:50:45that's good job
- 00:50:49refining the original one
- 00:50:53it's it's similar but I like to give it
- 00:50:58um
- 00:50:59I'd like to start off with what my eye
- 00:51:01looks good
- 00:51:03and then let it move because sometimes
- 00:51:06it just moves into a completely long
- 00:51:07face because it doesn't know what to do
- 00:51:10so I like to give it a good starting
- 00:51:11point
- 00:51:13so it again it's personal choice I mean
- 00:51:15you could you can just go ahead and
- 00:51:17press refine background without manually
- 00:51:19editing it and just see how that goes
- 00:51:21and plays out for you but I like to
- 00:51:24do it myself
- 00:51:26so now I'm going to start working the
- 00:51:28spherical harmonic it's really easy to
- 00:51:31use you just tell it the order
- 00:51:34so I found that six or eight works
- 00:51:37really well but you can you can try
- 00:51:38whatever works for you and the idea is
- 00:51:41to get the lowest order to work for you
- 00:51:43okay but whatever you do if you're
- 00:51:46analyzing a series of samples
- 00:51:49um be consistent
- 00:51:51so I'm going to go to eight sorry eight
- 00:51:55I'm just going to try and push growth
- 00:52:00in these different axes
- 00:52:09I'm going to give it a high damping
- 00:52:13foreign
- 00:52:29things must be improving
- 00:52:32and they are
- 00:52:34if you look at my spherical harmonic
- 00:52:36numbers they've all changed and it gives
- 00:52:39you something called a texture index
- 00:52:41now how it gets that texture index I'm
- 00:52:43not sure I haven't read the paper I need
- 00:52:45to
- 00:52:46but it's something that we need to
- 00:52:47understand that gives us a semi
- 00:52:50quantitative parameter or how textured
- 00:52:53your material is
- 00:52:58so again you just continue to refine the
- 00:53:01preferred orientation I've unchecked it
- 00:53:03for now because I want to start to
- 00:53:05refine my background
- 00:53:12just a tad
- 00:53:21I think that's enough maybe just a
- 00:53:23little bit more
- 00:53:24make sure that
- 00:53:291.329
- 00:53:30[Music]
- 00:53:33it's improving about the steadily
- 00:53:42and again you just go through many
- 00:53:44iterations of this
- 00:53:56until you reach
- 00:53:58a true minimum
- 00:54:00and that's not bad I mean that's very
- 00:54:03good actually
- 00:54:06in terms of the this is the blue is the
- 00:54:08air is the measurement of the difference
- 00:54:10between your model and the data and it's
- 00:54:12very flat so that's great that's a good
- 00:54:15fit
- 00:54:16okay this number here I mean these
- 00:54:20numbers you can note them down
- 00:54:23um but this texture index is just going
- 00:54:25to give us a semi-constitutive parameter
- 00:54:27that we can then compare with another
- 00:54:28film that I've made
- 00:54:31and that'll be the last example today so
- 00:54:33it's just basically going to be a
- 00:54:35repetition of what I've just done
- 00:54:38talk to another sample
- 00:54:41and the difference between these samples
- 00:54:43is so simple
- 00:54:46one sample
- 00:54:47are made by chemical vertical deposition
- 00:54:50using a set parameters
- 00:54:53and now my deposition time is two
- 00:54:55minutes
- 00:54:57now
- 00:54:59the second material
- 00:55:01I did exactly the same thing
- 00:55:03but my deposition time was for four
- 00:55:05minutes
- 00:55:07but there's a very big difference in
- 00:55:09looking forward orientation
- 00:55:12and you'll see that very soon
- 00:55:21see huge preferred orientation in this
- 00:55:24film there's absolutely no growth in the
- 00:55:26one zero one plane under these
- 00:55:27conditions for some strange reason I
- 00:55:30don't know why but that that is the case
- 00:55:31that was the case
- 00:55:33so
- 00:55:35I'm just going to
- 00:55:36make sure
- 00:55:39everything's okay
- 00:55:47[Music]
- 00:56:00foreign
- 00:56:12I forgot to model my background but it
- 00:56:15was pretty flat anyway
- 00:56:17so I'm not sure if that's a problem
- 00:56:21let me just double check my background
- 00:56:23is okay
- 00:56:29okay
- 00:56:53because there's so much preferred
- 00:56:55orientation in this form
- 00:56:57the model got really confused at first
- 00:56:59but now I think it's it's finally found
- 00:57:01its way
- 00:57:07and there we are
- 00:57:09it's got an almost perfect fit as well
