Grazing incidence diffraction of X-rays at a Si single crystal surface: Comparison of theory and experiment

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

To test the grazing incidence diffraction scheme for applications to surface studies we have measured with high resolution the angular dependence (“rod profile”) of the [220] Bragg intensity of X-rays under the condition of total reflection from the [001] surface of a Si single crystal. The experimental data agree quantitatively with predictions of the dynamical scattering theory, which takes into account a natural oxide layer and a tilt of the [220] lattice planes.
