Abstract

The use of neutron scattering as a tool for exploring surfaces and interfaces has become more prevalent over the last several years, mainly due to the increasing popularity of reflectivity techniques, which study specular reflection from single surfaces or multilayers. Due to intensity limitations, the use of off-specular or grazing-incidence neutron scattering techniques has been much less prevalent. In this paper we shall discuss the origins of magnetic off-specular scattering (e.g., as observed in magnetic multilayers) and the origins of anomalies seen in the X-ray or neutron diffuse scattering from multilayers near Bragg reflections in terms of the Dynamical Theory of Scattering.
