K. G. de Boer Philips Research Laboratories, Professor Holstlaan 4, 5656||AA Eindhoven, The Netherlands Received 8 September 1993 For the calculation of specular x-ray and neutron reflectivity from rough surfaces two expressions exist, which are valid under different circumstances. Another expression is derived using the second-order distorted-wave Born approximation, which smoothly connects the two existing expressions. The shape of the reflectivity curve depends not only on the average roughness, but also on the lateral correlation of the roughness profile. ©1994 The American Physical Society URL: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v49/p5817 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.49.5817 PACS: 61.10.Dp, 61.12.Bt, 68.35.Bs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Add to article collection View Page Images or PDF (607 kB) [ Previous article | Next article | Issue 9 contents ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References (Reference links marked with dot may require a separate subscription.) 1.
