Residual stress depth profiling based on a triaxial stress model: the principal stress gradients in magnetron-sputtered molybdenum films
A depth-dependent investigation of the principal stress gradients in a sputtered coating is described, applying asymmetric diffraction and different data evaluation routines.

Intensity corrections for grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction of thin films using static area detectors
Intensity correction factors for grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction are derived theoretically and applied to experimental data from thin-film samples with different textures. The provided corrections promise improved quality of crystal structure solutions from thin films and allow quantitative texture and phase analysis.

High-accuracy high-resolution measurements of fluorescence in manganese using extended-range high-energy-resolution fluorescence detection
By applying the new technique of extended-range high-energy-resolution fluorescence detection (XR-HERFD), developed from high-resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and HERFD, the analysis of data from all three techniques is explained to discover new physical processes in matter, with solid manganese as an example.

Multimodal reconstruction of TbCo thin-film structure with Bayesian analysis of polarized neutron reflectivity
For the first time, a multimodal reconstruction of a magnetic thin-film structure has been found using polarised neutron reflectivity. This has been achieved by implementing the Bayesian approach in combination with error correction based on the maximum likelihood method and instrument function optimization.

Optimal operation guidelines for direct recovery of high-purity precursor from spent lithium-ion batteries: hybrid operation model of population balance equation and data-driven classifier
This study proposes an operation optimization framework for impurity-free recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries. Using a hybrid population balance equation integrated with a data-driven condition classifier, the study firstly identifies the optimal batch and semi-batch operation conditions that significantly reduce the operation time with 100% purity of product; detailed guidelines are given for industrial applications.

Characterization and calibration of DECTRIS PILATUS3 X CdTe 2M high-Z hybrid pixel detector for high-precision powder diffraction measurements
The performance of a high-Z photon-counting detector for powder diffraction measurements at high (>50 keV) energies is characterized, and the appropriate corrections are described in order to obtain data of higher quality than have previously been obtained from 2D detectors in these energy ranges.
