Abstract

It has been found that the number and sharpness of the x-ray satellite peaks from Cu-Ni films containing short-wavelength (0.6-11.4 nm) composition modulations (produced by vapor deposition) were strongly dependent on the degree to which the number of monolayers of the components in each period approached integer values. It is demonstrated that this is an important factor in accounting for the difference that has previously been observed between the x-ray spectra from modulated metallic and semi-conductor films.
