Abstract
The development is demonstrated from specular reflection studies to off-specular scattering and grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS) and further to the combination of all scattering processes in complete reflectometry. The different scattering kinematics of off-specular scattering and GISANS leads to complementary information from the investigated systems. Two examples highlight the extraordinary possibilities of the analysis of complete reflectometry data.
