Abstract

The emergence of synchrotron radiation sources has greatly stimulated the use of X-ray scattering in surface science. The absence of multiple-scattering effects allows a straightforward data analysis. In addition to determining geometric structures, it is also possible with X-ray scattering to obtain information on various types of surface disorder. The large penetration depth enables the investigation of interfaces.
