I have no idea why this took so long, but I finally have the code to import and output various graphs of the reciprocal space maps (RLM or Q-space) taken using the Xpert Xray diffraction system. One of the difficulties in outputting the older data has been solved by our new line-scan detector system. The data is now taken in the more simple Omega-2Theta space instead of Omega-Omega2Theta space. With the help of Mauro Sardela, the fantastic research scientist who runs the XRD lab at the Materials Research Laboratory (FS-MRL), I’ve properly translated the data into Q-space using the same equations the Xpert Epitaxy software uses.

Finally- Qspace mapping success!
MATLAB and reciprocal space mapping – small update.
Well, I’m one of those guys who believes a picture is usually worth a ton of words. I’ve got a few images to share here on the matlab code I’ve been working on for reciprocal space mapping in MATLAB. I’m still not 100% on my code right now, so I’m not sharing it for the time-being. In particular, I use an import function for .x00 slices for two-axis scans in the Panalytical/Philips XPert system. If you are using XRDML, skip the files for .x00 import that I have in other posts on this blog. In anycase, without much explanation here are the images…
