Abstract
X-ray reflectivity is an experimental method used in various fields of materials science to investigate the physical properties of solid surfaces and the structure of interfaces. However, it is difficult to evaluate the reliability of the estimates obtained with this method. In this study, we propose a method for analyzing X-ray reflectivity data using Bayesian inference. Bayesian inference allows the uncertainty of the estimate to be evaluated, which also allows the measurement limit to be evaluated, and also shows that estimation is possible even in noisy situations.
X 射线反射率是材料科学各领域用于研究固体表面物理性质和界面结构的一种实验方法。然而,评估用这种方法获得的估计值的可靠性却非常困难。在本研究中,我们提出了一种使用贝叶斯推断法分析 X 射线反射率数据的方法。贝叶斯推断法可以评估估计值的不确定性,也可以评估测量极限,同时还表明即使在有噪声的情况下也可以进行估计。
