摘要: We have performed small angle X-ray reflectivity measurements on CdTe/MnTe superlattices. The Fresnel optical method and the distorted wave Born approximation were used to extract results from data. shows that interface roughness (about 7 A) is quite large for (43 ML CdTe/8 MnTe) (34 CdTe/16 samples. effective MnTe concentration determined refractive index. A model of correlated profiles successfully simulate diffuse scattering, determine lateral correlation length (Λ| = 1500 ± 750 A); moreover, we demonstrate layers are almost completely over sample thickness in growth direction.
