Abstract
A method for the characterization of surfaces and interfaces on a nanometer scale by combining specular and nonspecular glancing incidence X-Ray scattering is presented. The application of the method to crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and a thin gold layer on a silicon substrate is reported.
