Comment on “Grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence of periodic structures – a comparison between X-ray standing waves and geometrical optics calculations” by F. Reinhardt, S. H. Nowak, B. Beckhoff, J-C. Dousse and M. Schoengen, JAAS, 2014, 29, 1778

Abstract

The data interpretation in the recently published paper with the above title is criticized and it is shown that an alternative more physical model based on diffraction in periodic structures can explain the data better and more consistently.
