Ee. Fullerton et al., QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF EPITAXIAL SUPERLATTICES BY X-RAY-DIFFRACTION AND HIGH-RESOLUTION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY, Applied physics letters, 63(4), 1993, pp. 482-484
Quantitative x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electron micr
oscopy (HREM) have been applied to the analysis of an epitaxial CoO/Ni
O superlattice. This example shows that the qualitative information de
termined directly from a XRD spectrum or HREM image is limited and can
even be misleading. However, by a combination of quantitative intensi
ty measurements and structural modeling, a detailed quantitative chara
cterization of the superlattice structure is
