Abstract
Energy-dispersive electron-emission yields were measured for (111) Bragg reflections of x rays from Ge and GaAs crystals. The reflection angle was changed continuously over the Bragg reflection range, thus causing the internal x-ray-standing-wave pattern to move across the atomic planes. With the use of synchrotron radiation, these measurements were performed at photon energies below and above the Ga and As absorption edges. This introduces an energy-dependent position shift of the noncentrosymmetric diffraction planes relative to the atomic planes. It is shown how to determine, from such measurements, (i) the dispersion parameters and ; (ii) lattice deviations, including amorphous and crystalline surface layers; (iii) a mean electron escape depth; and (iv) crystal polarity.
