k-Space metrology tools are routinely used in studies around the world. References are available so that others can gain insight into how k-Space metrology tools are used for research in thin-films and other areas, and how they can be utilized in production environments. The following references for the kSA MOS, kSA MOS UltraScan/ThermalScan, kSA BandiT, and kSA 400 were recently added:
