Extract

External X-ray total reflection occurs when collimated X-ray beams impinge on a smooth, flat surface of matter at a small glancing angle, typically a few mrad. With respect to the X-ray fluorescence technique, total reflection experiments have allowed the trace determination of solution samples using an X-ray mirror as a sample support. The grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence technique (GIF) is also suitable for near-surface element analysis of the material, because the penetration depth of X-rays is 10-1000 Å around the critical angle.
