Research Experience

Mainly in the field of X-ray diffraction - study of thermal vibrations (Debye-Waller factors), study of strain and lattice defects by XRD line profile analysis, microstructural complex XRD characterisation of thin films (detailed study of the relations between deposition conditions and microstructural parameters, laboratory work, computer programming.

 

Main goals - derivation of general method for dislocation content estimation from X-ray diffraction line broadening, study of microstructural inhomogeneities in nitride hard coatings, generalisation of analytical method for fitting of microstructutral parameters from measured XRD line profile, evaluation of anomalous diffraction profiles in Cu-Alloys with precipitates, study of microstructure evolution in submicrocrystalline samples prepared by severe plastic deformation
