Tutorials

This page provides tutorials (basic and advanced) to help GISAXS users with experiment design, data analysis, and data modeling:

Slides from Presentations

• Theory of GISAXS, Zhang Jian (Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory): Introduction to the theoretical methods required for correctly analyzing and modeling GISAXS data, including the DWBA and waveguide effects.
• GIXS: hands-on data analysis, Joe Strzalka (Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory): An introduction to practical aspects of interpreting and analyzing grazing-incidence data, including the use of GIXSGUI software.
• GISAXS/GIWAXS Data Analysis: Thinking in Reciprocal-Space, Kevin Yager (National Synchrotron Light Source and Center for Functional Nanomaterials, Brookhaven National Laboratory): An introduction to the interpretation and basic analysis of GISAXS data, in particular in relation to the concept of how the experiment probes a slice through the 3D reciprocal-space.
