X-Ray Wave Guide and its Possible Application to Surface Analysis: X-Ray Traveling Waves

We propose a novel surface analysis method, “X-ray traveling waves using an X-ray waveguide”. The traveling wave is an opposite concept of the standing wave. The X-ray standing waves have been used for the analysis of surfaces by total reflection X-rays. The traveling wave is the X-rays refracted at...

Description
Summary:We propose a novel surface analysis method, “X-ray traveling waves using an X-ray waveguide”. The traveling wave is an opposite concept of the standing wave. The X-ray standing waves have been used for the analysis of surfaces by total reflection X-rays. The traveling wave is the X-rays refracted at the surface, and this novel method is to detect the refracted waves at the cross-section of a specimen. Such a traveling wave shows strange features, the origins of which are still not clarified, but also shows a similarity to the “Yoneda wing” phenomena.
