Abstract: | In this paper we introduce Borrmann Spectroscopy as a method for measuring X-ray absorption spectra under conditions of an
exotic wave field, namely, a coherent superposition of two plane waves. The essential features of the Borrmann Effect (also
known as anomalous transmission) are outlined. We show that the Borrmann Effect can lead to a very strong relative enhancement
of quadrupole absorption. After describing some early results in this field, and some general considerations of multiple-wave
absorption, we contrast recent results on anisotropy in Borrmann spectroscopy with normal absorption. Despite the qualitative
success of a simple model for quadrupole enhancement, temperature dependence and anisotropy, a general theory of the Borrmann
Effect is required which includes anisotropic and non-dipolar scattering. We outline some first steps towards such a theory. |
