Reflectivity using neutrons or x-rays? A critical comparison

Description

The relative advantages and disadvantages of neutrons and x-rays for reflectivity studies are discussed, in terms of intensities, resolutions, backgrounds and selectivities. The general but important question of how to separate the true specular reflectivity from the diffuse background is addressed. Finally, certain special cases of diffuse scattering, such as scattering from liquid surfaces and from multiple interfaces with correlated roughness, are discussed in detail. 24 refs., 9 figs
