R. Lipperheide et al., ASPECTS OF THE INVERSE SCATTERING PROBLEM IN NEUTRON SPECULAR REFLECTION, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 221(1-4), 1996, pp. 514-519
A two-step Marchenko inversion method is presented for samples mounted
on a thick substrate, representing the substrate by a background pote
ntial. The inversion for complex potentials is discussed in regard to
the Elimination of negative wave numbers and the phase problem. The ef
fect of a wave number cut-off in reflectivity measurements is illustra
ted.
