Abstract

The angular dependence of Total-reflection X-Ray Fluorescence intensities can behave in various ways. The variety is discussed by examining the x-ray intensity distribution in the material under investigation. It is shown that for thin layers on solids, interference fringes are present due to x-ray standing waves. This phenomenon is exploited to determine the depth distribution of elements in layered specimens.
