Invited lecture of the Simposium N "Surface Engineering - functional coatings and modified surfaces" at the XIII SBPMat (Brazilian MRS) meeting, in João Pessoa (Brazil). The lecture took place on September 30th, 2014.
The speaker was Professor Christoph Genzel, from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), in Germany, where he heads the Department of Microstructure and Residual Stress Analysis and he coordinates a group of diffraction and scattering. Genzel is also Associate Professor at the Technische Universität Berlin.

Energy-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction:
Versatile tool for many fields of materials sciences.
Under fixed diffraction conditions complete diffrac-tion
patterns are recorded.
Thin film analysis and (high energy) ED diffraction fit
together! The methods allows for:
o (Residual) stress analysis, even in complex cases (multi-layers,
separation of stress and composition gradients ...)
o Fast in-situ study of thin film growth processes
o Microstructural characterization (ED line profile analysis)
