Abstract:
Based on experimental energy transfer distributionsdE/dx including the X-ray depth distribution function (x,E0,Z) an effective-layer method has been developed in order to homogenize a multilayer target. Effective layer thicknesses are related to real layer thicknesses by means of equal transmission-energy rates. This method has been proved by EDX measurements of Au-SiO2-Si structures showing good agreement with the real structures.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c.
