Surface structure determination with X-ray standing waves

Abstract The X-ray standing-wave technique is reviewed in its application to surface investigations. Element- specific, structural analysis can be performed with high spatial resolution even for low surface coverages. We present several examples. Interface structure determination is discussed briefly. The fundamental principles and possible variations of the technique, the experimental requirements and the quality of structural information obtained from standing-wave measurements are described in detail.
