  • Determination of material parameters
    Patent number: 6823043
    Abstract: A method for determining parameters of a material includes comparing a range of an actual x-ray scattering profile with a range of an expected x-ray scattering profile for a material sample. The expected profile is modified to match the actual profile and this is then repeated with an ever-larger range of the profiles until two profiles match across the whole of their profile. From the last modified expected profile the parameters of the material are determined.
    Type: Grant
