Abstract
The variable-exit-angle ultrasoft x-ray fluorescence technique has been evaluated for Ni/Fe thin-film multilayers. The theoretical and experimental agreement is reasonable. The experimental results demonstrate that on these Ni/Fe samples quantitative information can be obtained in the presence of surface contamination.
