摘要：

An analysis is made of x-ray interference that occurs at the Bragg condition when two epitaxially related regions of the same material are separated by a thin layer of a different material. With optimal conditions, the effects of the separator layer are shown to be detectable at thicknesses down to one or two unit cells (6-12 Å), and its thickness may be measured with a precision of about 0.02 Å. Application of these results to the determination of misfit-induced strain is discussed with particular reference to thin layers of Ga0.8In0.2As enclosed by GaAs.
