Abstract
The correlation of roughness profiles of different interfaces in a periodical multilayer affects the reciprocalspace distribution of the diffusely reflected X-ray intensity. This distribution has been calculated by means of the Distorted-Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) method and compared with the results of X-ray reflectometry on periodical metallic multilayers. It has been shown that the measurement of the reciprocal-space distribution of diffusely scattered intensity is a suitable non-destructive method to investigate the roughness replication in multilayers.
