Hello,
I was elaborating thin films from FeCl3 using a dip coater. These films were deposited on a glass sheet for 6 layers and then annealed at 500°C. However, XRD analysis did not yield any results or peaks! What could be the problems?
In general, the six layers have a low thickness; however, it is necessary do razing incidence x‐ray analysis , and the second thing is to control the temperature and the annealing time.
How do you collected XRD patterns? Grazing angle or normal configuration? Do you expect to have crystalline materials after your thermal treatment? Is it possible that amorphous phases form?
Asmaa Mendoud In the XRD analysis, the FeCl3-made thin films produced no data or peaks. Substrate interference, amorphous structure, film thickness, or incorrect instrument parameters may be the reason for this.
