LEPTOS H
LEPTOS H stands for High-Resolution X-ray Diffraction and Grazing-Incidence X-ray Diffraction data analysis. The module is fully integrated in the LEPTOS suite, which incorporates the simultaneous analysis of HRXRD, GISAXS and XRR data. As a part of the LEPTOS suite, the H module inherits all the functionality common for the whole package.
Theory
- Fast 2x2 and precise 4x4 Recursive Matrix Formalism to overcome the limitations of the Takagi-Taupin approach
- Operator Method for the universal calculation of X-ray scattering parameters from crystalline materials, such as: atomic scattering factors, X-ray polarizabilities, etc.
- Patented Method of EigenWaves (MEW) for the essential acceleration of the fits for the superlattices and repeating multilayers
Sample editor
- Powerful and flexible sample model editor including tools for superlattices, linking of layer physical parameters, user-defined layer profiles
- Extensive, user extendable materials database
- Cell Builder engine for automatic adjustment of the sample crystallographic properties: lattice strain and mismatches, relaxation degree, elemental concentrations and mass density
- Virtual Diffractometer tool to account for the instrumental resolution function and footprint effects
Data evaluation
- Simulation, estimation and fitting of data in direct and reciprocal spaces
- Simultaneous evaluation of several Bragg reflections measured from one sample
- Fast Fourier Transform for a quick estimation of the layer thickness and the Estimate tool for the fast evaluation of sample parameters from peak postions, directly from measured data
- Precise fitting of numerous sample parameters using the advanced dynamical theory. Available fitting routines: Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Simplex or Levenberg-Marquardt
- Consideration of the nonpolar orientations of the crystallographic unit cell and various {hkl} reflections in a single sample
- • Area mapping; automated data evaluation via script interface
Output
- Saving of results in XML-based project files
- Several reporting options and customizable export
