Abstract
The angular distribution of X-ray fluorescence shows anisotropic radiation. We proved that the origin of the anisotropic radiation is X-ray refraction by using a scattered X-ray fluorescence model. Utilizing the refraction effect of X-ray fluorescence, we can obtain much information: for example, surface density, chemical condition, surface roughness, and particle diameter of element, as a new tool of studying surfaces and interfaces. We introduce a new X-ray dispersive system utilizing X-ray refraction.
