Crystal truncation rods and surface roughness
Abstract
We present x-ray-diffraction profiles from a variety of different crystals which are characteristically diffuse in the direction perpendicular to the surface through which the incident and diffracted beams pass, but sharp in both parallel directions. We show that these effects arise from truncation of the crystal lattice at the surface. To explain the precise form of the momentum-transfer dependence of the intensity across the reciprocal-space zone, it is necessary to include the effects of surface roughness on an atomic scale. Such measurements therefore allow highly sensitive roughness determinations to be made. Understanding the origin of these streaks of intensity will have significant impact on the practice of x-ray crystallographic determinations of surface structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
