The Physics behind XSW…

• The XSW absorption profile as a function of coherent fraction and coherent position is taken as (3,4):

• where and are :

p and l are the partial phase shifts for the outgoing p- and d-waves, respectively (photoemission from an s-state).

• Q and are tabulated.

• The reflectivity curve R is calculated as (1-4):

• where is (in terms of photon energy):

• is a complex number since the structure factors are complex.

• Polarisation factor P is taken as cos(2 * Bragg)(normal incidence => polarisation, P = 1).

• The above formula is only valid for centrosymmetric crystals since the pre-factor FH / F-H is omitted

= 1 for centrosymmetric crystals

• The phase shift (or …) between the incoming and the outgoing X-ray plane wave is computed as (1-4):

XSWAVES benchmarking

• Fit of synthetic data sets for Ag(111):

– Exemplary data sets were created with EXCEL simulation sheet by Bruce Cowie.

– Neither error weighting for reflectivity fit nor for XSW absorption profile fit.

– Non-dipolar parameters : Q = 0, = 0.

– Modification of the response function is NOT enabled during XSW profile fit.
