RECURRENT RELATIONS IN GRAZING NONCOPLANAR X-RAY DIFFRACTION IN MULTILAYER SURFACE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES

Abstract

The specular reflection of X rays from multilayer crystal structures on the surface of a single crystal under conditions of grazing noncoplanar diffraction is considered. Recurrent relations of a new type are obtained. A high sensitivity of the angular dependence of the specular reflection intensity in the diffraction region to the thickness and number of layers, their deformation, and degree of amorphization is shown.
