Abstract
Combinations of advanced X-ray sources and zero-noise detector of enormous dynamic range have significantly increased the opportunity of mapping the reciprocal space of crystal lattices. It is particularly important in the design of new devices based on epitaxial thin films. In this work, we present a simple approach to the three-dimensional geometry involved in plotting reciprocal space maps, along with an example of computer codes to allow X-ray users to write their own codes. Experimental data used to illustrate an application of the codes are from antimony telluride epitaxial film on barium difluoride substrate.
