High-Resolution X-Ray Scattering from Thin Films and Multilayers

This critical overview presents experimental methods for solving most frequent strucutral problems of mono-crystalline thin films and layered systems: thickness, crystalline state, strain distribution, interface quality and other properties. A unified theoretical approach based on kinematical and dy...
