The PaNET term for GIXD (http://purl.org/pan-science/PaNET/PaNET01161) is missing a definition and definition source.
We could consider the definition at: https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Techniques/Diffraction/GIXD
"Surfaces and interfaces determine many of the properties of materials, including electronic, magnetic and chemical behaviour. Experiments carried out at existing third generation synchrotron sources have focused on well defined samples in artificial environments. However, surface and interface diffraction techniques such as Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) are also ideal tools for determining the morphology of novel materials in realistic operating conditions. Providing both a source of high intensity X-rays and a wide range of sample environments will allow experiments that will lead to real technological development."
