GIDInd

A MATLAB application for automated indexing of grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) data.

Features

• Indexing based on two components of the scattering vectors: the in-plane parts (q_xy) and the out-of plane parts (q_z)
• Indexing with and without consideration of the specular diffraction peak
• Determination of triclinic unit cell
• Determination of the crystallographic contact plane parallel to the substrate surface
• The lattice constants of the unit cell can be defined in specific ranges
• The volume of the unit cell can be limited
• The lattice constants of a reduced cell will be given (Buerger cell/Niggli criteria)
• Graphic visualization of experimental and calculated peak positions
