Abstract

Coherent inelastic Mössbauer scattering (CIMS) of synchrotron radiation (SR) by an isotopic interface (a flat interface between two regions of matter differing in the concentration of the Mössbauer isotope) at grazing angles of incidence of the SR beam is investigated theoretically. The qualitative features of CIMS as compared with conventional optics at small grazing angles of the SR beam are determined. Specifically, it is shown that for CIMS by an isotopic interface, instead of the phenomenon of total external (internal) reflection well known in optics, total suppression of reflection of the CIMS beam occurs at grazing angles of the SR beam less than a critical angle, and a maximum of the transmission and reflection at distinguished CIMS frequencies appears near the critical angle.
