5.3.1.5 X-Ray Diffraction
More information about the composition of the top layers was obtained by analysis
with X-Ray Diffraction. Before degradation, all the samples gave similar diffractograms,
with (110) signals as the dominant orientation next to the (200), (211) and (220) signals
of molybdenum [25]. Besides the molybdenum peaks, several minor signals were
observed on the samples before degradation. These peaks were located at the 2θ
positions 43.6°, 63.8° and 81.3°. The most likely candidates for the identification of these
