Small-angle scattering measurements utilizing anomalous dispersion effect just below the Zr and Ni K edge have been made for welded Zr-based amorphous materials. The measurements were carried out at a bending magnet beam-line 40B of SPring8. A small and parallel X-ray beam generated at the third generation synchrotron is suitable for nanostructure mapping of heterogeneous materials, whose structure varies with less than a millimeter scale. The remelted and heat-affected zones were examined for electron-beam welded Zr-Ni-Cu-Al alloys. Merits and the characteristics, as well as its present limitations of scanning small-angle scattering with a use of anomalous dispersion effect is discussed as a tool to examine microstructure in the spatially inhomogeneous materials in macroscopic scale as well as microscopic scale.

As a basic layered structure for giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, NiFe/Cu/NiFe/Ta/Si substrate was measured by X-ray reflectometry at Cu Kα, Cu Kβ and Cu K-absorption-edge energies. The accuracy of both the Cu thickness and the interface width between the upper NiFe and the Cu layers was found to improve in the order Cu Kα < Cu Kβ < Cu K-edge. The final thickness and interface width values obtained from Cu Kβ reflectivity are in good agreement with those from the Cu K-edge. The anomalous-dispersion effect is useful in the more accurate analysis of the layered structure of transition metal multilayers because it causes a large difference in the refractive indices of specific elements near the absorption edge. The Kβ X-rays, which can be produced from conventional X-ray sources, are also available for the accurate analysis of reflectivity measurements.
