Course objectives
Basic properties of x-rays. X-ray reflection on a single flat interface, kinematical and dynamical description. The Fresnel formulas. X-ray reflection on a system of many flat interfaces, the matrix formalism. Semikinematical approximation. Rough interfaces: The fractal description of a rough interface, the correlation properties. Correlation of rough interfaces in multilayers. The Stearns model. Non-fractal interfaces: descriptions by means of the Markov chains. Singular and vicinal surfaces. Short-range-order and long-range-order models. Kinematical description of the scattering from rough interfaces, semikinematical approximation, the Nevot-Croce formula. Scattering from rough multilayers, distribution of the scattered intensity in reciprocal space. Resonant diffuse scattering. Grazing-indicence diffraction.
