Bragg projection ptychography on niobium phase domain
Abstract
Here, we demonstrate that the highly sensitive phase-contrast properties of Bragg coherent diffraction measurements combined with the translational diversity of ptychography can provide a Bragg “dark field” imaging method capable of revealing the finger print of domain structure in metallic thin films. Experimental diffraction data was taken from a epitaxially grown niobium metallic thin film on sapphire; and analyzed with the help of a careful combination of implemented refinement mechanisms.

Figure 1: Schematic of Bragg projection on a idealised niobium thin film presenting only one layer of structural domain. By performing laboratory scans, the projected overlap after the beam displacement is symmetric and of equal magnitudes within the detector plane (a’b’ = a”b”) for the specular case, as in [13].
