DWBA Equation in thin film
Using the notation
for compactness, the DWBA equation inside a thin film can be written:
Expansion (incorrect)
WARNING: This incorrectly ignores the complex components.
Terms
If one expands the
of the DWBA, one obtains 16 terms:
Equation
The equation can thus be expanded as:

Simplification
We can rearrange to:
We can rewrite in a more compact form using the notation
and

If one expands the
of the DWBA, one obtains 16 terms:
Equation
We take advantage of a more compact form using the notation
and
. The DWBA equation can thus be expanded as:
Simplification
We can rearrange to:
Breaking into components
The experimental data
can be broken into contributions from the transmitted channel
and reflected channel
:
We define the ratio between the channels to be:
Such that one can compute the two components from:
and:
