X-ray Standing Waves at Grazing Angles BY TERRENCE JACH
نویسنده
چکیده
X-ray diffraction from crystal surfaces at grazing angles gives rise to X-ray standing waves above and below the surface. Expressions are derived for the fluorescence observed from atoms located on or in a crystal as a result of excitation by the grazing-angle X-ray standing waves. In addition to the dependence of the fluorescence on the position of the atom with regard to the crystal plane that is responsible for the diffraction, the standing-wave amplitude also depends on the distance from the surface. We present standing-wave measurements from I on Ge(111) and the Ge atoms themselves which illustrate these effects.

Grazing angle x-ray photoemission system for depth-dependent analysis
We have developed an x-ray photoelectron spectrometer system which combines an adjustable grazing incidence angle source with reflected beam detection. When operated about the critical angle, this combination permits a variation of the x-ray penetration depth which can be monitored by means of the reflectivity. At angles of incidence less than the critical angle, the sampling depth of the photo...
متن کاملDynamical x-ray diffraction of multilayers and superlattices: Recursion matrix extension to grazing angles
A generalized dynamical theory has been developed that extends previous models of x-ray diffraction from crystals and multilayers with vertical strains to the cases of grazing incidence and/or exit below the critical angle for total specular reflection. This provides a common description for extremely asymmetric diffraction, surface ~‘‘grazing-incidence’’!, and grazing Bragg-Laue diffraction, t...
متن کاملX-ray fluorescence induced by standing waves in the grazing-incidence and grazing-exit modes: study of the Mg-Co-Zr system.
The characterization of Mg-Co-Zr tri-layer stacks using X-ray fluorescence induced by X-ray standing waves, in both the grazing-incidence (GI) and the grazing-exit (GE) modes, is presented. The introduction of a slit in the direction of the detector improves the angular resolution by a factor of two and significantly improves the sensitivity of the technique for the chemical characterization of...
متن کاملX-ray Standing Wave at the Total Reflection Condition
Fresnel theory is used to derive the complex electric fields above and 7 below an X-ray– reflecting interface that separates two materials with 8 differing refraction indices. The interference between the incident and 9 reflected waves produces an X-ray standing wave (XSW) above the 10 reflecting interface. The XSW intensity modulation is strongly enhanced 11 by the total external reflection co...
