Modelling and Data Analysis for Grazing Incidence and Off-Specular Scattering - JCNS Workshop

摘要

The last two decades have seen a tremendous development in the science and applications of thin films, multilayers and laterally patterned heterostructures, with important contribution of reflectometry and grazingincidence diffuse scattering of (polarized) neutrons and (non-resonant, resonant magnetic and nuclear resonant) x-rays. A dedicated workshop was held on September 27-29 at the InWent Education Centre in Feldafing, south of Munich to discuss current state-of-theart in data analysis and modeling for grazing incidence and off-specular scattering. With the advent of new neutron and x-ray sources data-acquisition time has much shortened, however, appropriate theory and evaluation of diffuse neutron and x-ray scattering is running behind and genera ly accepted and internationally tested data-fitting programs and simulations with proper account for beam and instrument properties are lacking.
