Depth-profiling measurements by means of synchrotron radiation based grazing XRF techniques, i.e., grazing emission X-ray fluorescence (GEXRF) and grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence (GIXRF), present a promising approach for the non-destructive, sub-nanometer scale precision characterization of ultra shallow ion-implantations. The nanometer resolution is of importance with respect to actual...

Grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence of periodic structures – a comparison between X-ray standing waves and geometrical optics calculations

Reinhardt, Falk ; Nowak, Stanisław H. ; Beckhoff, Burkhard ; Dousse, Jean-Claude ; Schoengen, Max

In: Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 2014, vol. 29, no. 10, p. 1778–1784

Grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence spectra of nano-scaled periodic line structures were recorded at the four crystal monochromator beamline in the laboratory of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt at the synchrotron radiation facility BESSY II. For different tilt angles between the lines and the plane of incidence of the monochromatic synchrotron radiation, spectral features are observed...

Geometrical optics modelling of grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence of nanoscaled objects

X-ray Standing Wave (XSW) is a well established formalism for modelling Grazing Incidence X-ray Fluorescence (GIXRF) experiments. However, when probing nanostructured surfaces with complex morphology the effects of the interaction of the XSW with structure elements need to be investigated. This is not always easy and sometimes even not possible. In the present work a novel approach employing...
