Hi,
I've been etching Ti3AlC2 MAX phase in the lab for a year, having made several batches. In the last 3 I've been observing a peak at around 44°. This peak is observed for multilayer and delaminated samples.
Is this contamination of undissolved LiF crystals ?
If so, to mitigate this should I use more washing cycles ?
The substrate I use for analysing the samples is Si (100).
Thank you
