AbstractWe report measurement of Bragg intensities obtained from an Fe3Al(110) single crystal under the condition of total reflection. It is demonstrated that depth-resolved near-surface atomic correlations can be achieved by the independent control of both ocurring grazing angles.

SummaryThe X-ray external total reflection was used for the x-ray fluorescence analysis of the near surface layer of a GaAs wafer and a GaAlAs epilayer. Synchrotron radiation was used as an excitation source. The intensity ratio between the Ga K and As K fluorescence signals was measured as a function of the glancing angle. The reduction of As atoms near the surface of less than a hundred Å was observed for the high temperature annealed GaAlAs epilayer.

AbstractWe summarize photoemission studies using Synchrotron Radiation of the formation of the HgCdTe-Cr interface at room temperature on in situcleaved single crystal substrates. Evidence is found of a Cr-Hg exchange reaction in the subsurface region. The surface and near surface layers appear completely depleted of mercury.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the copper aluminium phosphate mineral sieleckiite, Cu3Al4(PO4)2 (OH)12·2H2O, from the Mt Oxide copper mine, Queensland, Australia was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data utilizing synchrotron radiation. Sieleckiite has monoclinic rather than triclinic symmetry as previously reported and is space group C2/m with unit-cell parameters a = 11.711(2), b = 6.9233(14), c = 9.828(2) Å, β = 92.88(3)°, V = 795.8(3) Å3and Z = 2. The crystal structure, which has been refined to R1 = 0.0456 on the basis of 1186 unique reflections with Fo > 4σF, is a framework of corner-, edge- and face- sharing Cu and Al octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra.

ABSTRACTSynchrotron-based total-reflection x-ray fluorescence(SR-TXRF) has been developed as a leading technique for measuring wafer cleanliness. It holds advantages over other techniques in that it is non-destructive and allows mapping of the surface. The highest sensitivity observed thus far is 3x108 atoms/cm 2 (- 3fg) for 1000 second count time. Several applications of SR-TXRF are presented which take advantage of the energy tunability of the synchrotron source or the mapping capability.

The compressive stress distribution below the specimen surface of a nanocrystalline medium carbon steel was investigated nondestructively by using high-energy X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source, SPring-8 (Super Photon ring-8 GeV) in the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute. A medium carbon steel plate was shot-peened with fine cast iron particles of the size of 50 μm. By using the monochromatic X-ray beam with three energy levels of 10, 30 and 72 keV, the stress values at the arbitrary depth were measured by the constant penetration depth method. The stress was calculated from the slope of the sin2ψ diagram. Measured stress corresponds to the weighted average associated with the attenuation of the X-rays in the material. The real stress distribution was estimated by using the optimization technique. The stress distribution was assumed by the third order polynomial in the near surface layer and the second order polynomial. The coefficients of the polynomials were determined by the conjugate gradient iteration. The predicted stress distribution agreed well with that measured by the conventional surface removal method.
