Description

Calculations of the relative phase changes of σ and π electric field components on Bragg reflection from and transmission through multilayers are presented. Large relative phase changes can be calculated in certain cases, which may lead to utility of multilayers as quarter-wave plates for generation and analysis of circularly polarized soft X-radiation. Similar behavior may be expected for perfect crystals in the hard X-ray range. (orig.)
