Profile reconstruction from neutron reflectivity data and a priori knowledge
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of incomplete and noisy information in profile reconstruction from neutron reflectometry data is considered. In particular methods of Bayesian statistics in combination with modelling or inverse scattering techniques are considered in order to properly include the required a priori knowledge to obtain quantitatively reliable estimates of the reconstructed profiles. Applying Bayes theorem the results of different experiments on the same sample can be consistently included in the profile reconstruction. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Reconstruction of magnetic profiles from polarized reflectivity data
An iterative algorithm for the reconstruction of magnetic profiles from polarized neutron reflection data is presented. The new algorithm avoids the use of a reference layer and makes use of the frequently available knowledge on the sequence of the layers. The features of the algorithm are studied in several examples and satisfactory convergence to the true profile is found for realistic magnet...
متن کاملDiffuse neutron reflectivity and AFM study of interface morphology of an electro-deposited Ni/Cu film
We present a detailed study of the interface morphology of an electro-deposited (ED) Ni/Cu bilayer film by using off-specular (diffuse) neutron reflectivity technique and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The Ni/Cu bilayer has been electro-deposited on seed layers of Ti/Cu. These two seed layers were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The depth profile of density in the sample has been obtained fr...
متن کاملSimultaneous neutron transmission and diffraction contrast tomography as a non-destructive 3D method for bulk single crystal quality investigations
Traditional neutron tomography allows to reconstruct the attenuation cross section, a measure for the material distribution, at high spatial resolution and non-destructively. However, it does not state anything about the ordering structure of the atoms inside this material. Extending the setup with a second neutron imaging detector, diffracted neutrons from the ordered crystal lattice could be ...
متن کاملGravimetric and density profiling using the combination of surface acoustic waves and neutron reflectivity.
A new approach is described herein, where neutron reflectivity measurements that probe changes in the density profile of thin films as they absorb material from the gas phase have been combined with a Love wave based gravimetric assay that measures the mass of absorbed material. This combination of techniques not only determines the spatial distribution of absorbed molecules, but also reveals t...
متن کاملDetermination of height of urban buildings based on non-parametric estimation of signal spectrum in SAR data tomography
Nowadays, the TomoSAR technique has been able to overcome the limitations of radar interferometry techniques in separating multiple scatterers of pixels. By extending the principles of virtual aperture in the elevation direction, these techniques pay much attention in the analysis of urban challenging areas. Despite the expectation of interference of the distribution of buildings with different...
