Abstract
Within the Distorted-Wave-Born-Approximation the kinematic scattering cross-section of x-rays and neutrons impinging on a thin film at grazing incidence is expressed in terms of the Fourier- and Laplacelike-transformed two-point correlation function of the number density in the film. This expression takes into account the multiple scattering processes which arise due to the difference between the indices of refraction of the film and those of the two adjacent media. Inter alia, the scattering data allow one to infer information about the lateral structures of the two confining interfaces of the film.
